I look forward to my morning cup – made with freshly ground local beans with our stellar Jura espresso maker – perhaps more than I should. However, working in the creative world, sometimes you need to get out and about, switching up your space. Whenever I find a new Minneapolis coffee shop, I share my excitement with coworkers. We often trade recommendations and geek out about what made the space so ideal. So, on this sunny Friday, I thought I'd share a few with you... cheers! ![](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52f97c96e4b097d8674d9ef0/t/551ab5ebe4b0bcfd24e0ff99/1427813868886/IMGL8835.jpg?format=1000w) ###### Image source: [FiveWattCoffee.com](http://fivewattcoffee.com/our-shop/) ### My recommendations:   Coffee shop:  [Spyhouse Coffee](https://spyhousecoffee.com/pages/whittier) (Eat Street location) Neighborhood: Whittier, 24th & Nicollet Must try: Lavender Latte - the "Spygirl" Why try this spot:  I love their focus on interior design. The shop is filled with vintage furniture sort of piecemealed together, lots of warm walnut wood, eclectic music and (my favorite part) conversations among creatives. On a nice day with their doors open, I feel I've escaped to an alleyway cafe in Europe. Coffee shop: [Canteen](https://canteen3255.com/)  Neighborhood: Lyn-Lake, 32nd & Bryant Must try: Their drip coffee of the day with creamer - somehow this creamer goes beyond expectations... Must be the cows. And their Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Hollybars—they're like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but more substantial. ##### Why try this spot:  It has a super friendly atmosphere. Set right outside the hustle and bustle of Uptown, it feels like a secret haven. It also manages to feel outdoorsy, like you're in the North Woods. ### Annie's recommendations: Coffee shop: [Five Watt Coffee](https://fivewattcoffee.com/) Neighborhood: Kingsfield, 38th& Nicollet Must try: Cold Press Why try this spot: They have strong coffee, fun energy, lots of people networking and a collaborative-community environment. Coffee shop: [Sparrow Cafe](https://sparrowcafe.com/) Neighborhood: Lynnhurst, 50th & Penn Must try: Almond milk latte and almond croissant Why try this spot:  They have such a cozy atmosphere, with a whimsical interior and tasty pastries. With all of this, it's somehow still understated and never too busy. Coffee shop: [Rustica](https://www.rusticabakery.com/) Neighborhood: Calhoun Village Shopping Center, 3220 West Lake St. Must try: Pour over and chocolate chip cookie Why try this spot: ##### Their chocolate chip cookies are hands down my favorite. I wouldn't work or study here, but I would definitely come for a break and a cookie! Coffee shop: [WorkHorse Coffee Bar](https://workhorsecoffee.com/index.html) Neighborhood: St. Paul/University, 2399 University Avenue Saint Paul  Must try: Coffee Vanilla Ice Cream Shake Why try this spot: ##### Good coffee, plus the above shake. It's the home to the world's tiniest museum... ![](http://workhorsecoffee.com/uploads/3/4/6/4/34646125/2589699_orig.jpg) ### Jerod's recommendations: Coffee shop: [Wesley Andrews](https://www.wesleyandrews.cc/) Neighborhood: Whittier, 26th & 1st Ave. Must try: Whatever their current seasonal drink is Why try this spot: ##### They're called a slow bar, which means they basically take coffee as an art. Plus, they're new! Coffee shop: [Penny's Coffee](https://www.pennyscoffee.com/) Neighborhood: Downtown, 100 Washington Ave S Must try: Crepes! and drip coffee Why try this spot: ##### Probably one of the most Instagrammed places in Minneapolis. It's a great space. It was opened by the guy who owns Phillips Vodka. They have food too – crepes! Coffee shop: [Dogwood Coffee](https://www.dogwoodcoffee.com/) Neighborhood: East Lake, 40th & East Lake St.  Must try: "They have the best espresso in town, so bright and tart I love it." Why try this spot: They were really the first to give a damn \[regarding Minneapolis coffee\] and do so carefully. Their baristas are paid well, and they provide education classes. I've never had a bad time there.   ### David's recommendation: Coffee shop: [Urban Bean Coffee](https://urbanbeancoffee.com/) Neighborhood: Lyn-Lake, Lake & Bryant Must try: Miel Latte Why try this spot: The Miel is delicious. They also have a spicy Freddy Mercury that my wife, Lisa, loves. Minneapolis may not be the biggest city, but you definitely have plenty of choices when seeking a spot for a good ambiance and strong, delicious coffee.  P.S.
