"Spyhouse, Whittier by Light Grey Art Lab. Spyhouse on Nicollet has a clean aesthetic, with dark wood, black concrete counters, and white walls. The space has nooks and crannies where you can share an intimate conversation over a great cappuccino, or a iced latte underneath one of their patio umbrellas. The staff are pros and you'll always get the perfect cup. Spyhouse also roasts their own coffee here in Minneapolis, so you'll be enjoying several layers of craftsmanship and care in your cup. Their Nicollet Avenue location is one of their few shops that has local artwork hanging -- often showcasing contemporary local artists. In the warm months, the patio is bustling with conversation and you can mingle outside on the walk with the local sparrows. Their iced lattes are incredibly refreshing, even in the midst of our frigid Minnesota winters."
