There were 2 groups of parents and kids in there. The kids and the parents sat at separate tables so as you can image no supervision and extremely loud and annoying. Not the restaurants fault at all.

Pricey for lunch, $80 with tip for 2 people. No alcohol either.”

Of course, he woke up when I attempted to lay him down to go across the street to get it when I got the text it was done, so I wasn’t going to be able to pick it up in a timely manner.

“I visited Spyhouse Coffee Roasters in Rochester on a quiet Sunday morning, and it instantly stood out as a refined, intentional space that takes coffee seriously. From the moment I stepped in, the aroma of freshly ground beans and the clean, modern aesthetic created a calm and inviting atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed—minimalist yet warm, with large windows that flood the room with natural light, perfect for a slow morning or catching up on reading.

I ordered a single-origin pour-over and a croissant, and both exceeded expectations. The coffee was exceptionally well-brewed—bright, layered, and clearly sourced with care. The baristas were friendly but not overbearing; they knew their craft and were happy to explain the tasting notes. I also appreciated that they offered alternative milk options and had a thoughtful, small menu of pastries that paired well with their drinks.

What I loved most about Spyhouse was its balance between sophistication and comfort. It’s not just a place to grab a quick coffee—it invites you to stay, sip, and enjoy the experience. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or just want a beautiful spot to unwind in Rochester, Spyhouse delivers both in quality and atmosphere. I’ll definitely return next time I’m in town.
Note: Tipping is important here, if you don't tip they don't serve you as a best customer.”

The restaurant is also in a great location but a little difficult to find a parking spot though. The team is also nice and friendly. Have plenty of dishes to try … just keep in mind some soups are big enough for sharing. You may want to try the sticky rice Mango!”

“My favorite sushi place in Rochester! Always consistently delicious. Just wish they had more specialty roll options and that ordering takeout didn’t take almost an hour as we typically do takeout. Inside is also really nice and great ambiance! A plus for takeout is that they have a drive through window on the side, so during the winter months this is awesome! The fried rice is also delicious.”

“We moved from NJ to MN and have been searching for good NY style pizza for YEARS! It was so nostalgic to open this pizza box and start eating. I felt like we had flown back to NY and were eating at a restaurant with “best pizza” neons in the window. We will absolutely be back and soon! The white, plain and pepperoni pies were exactly what we were hoping for when we ordered. Online ordering for pickup was easy and the folks behind the counter were kind, attentive and so friendly. If you want the best pizza in SE MN, please eat here.”
