Spyhouse Coffee Roasters

Spyhouse Coffee Roasters sources and roasts across the Twin Cities, running seven cafes -- Whittier, Uptown, Northeast, North Loop, Downtown/Emery, a St. Paul location, and one in Rochester -- alongside its own roasting facility. The company describes its sourcing approach as built on cultivating direct relationships with growers, and its current single-origin offerings span Uganda, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, and Honduras.

Its Reserve Series sits at the top of the lineup, including a lot from Uganda's Kisoro Estate, sold alongside standard blends, instant coffee, and a Roaster's Choice Subscription that rotates single origins and carries a 10% discount for subscribers. Beyond the coffee itself, Spyhouse runs a Gender Equity Project and hosts private events at its cafes, positioning the company as invested in more than retail transactions.

For a roaster with this many storefronts, the offer stays anchored in traceable, named lots rather than generic blend labels -- the Kisoro Estate Reserve is sold as a specific farm's coffee, not an anonymous "Uganda blend." That naming convention, repeated across its rotating single origins, is the clearest throughline across Spyhouse's seven locations and its online shop alike.
