In recent years, several of the locally based coffeehouse chain's outlets have put on a different face as daylight grows dimmer, adding "wine/beer bar" to their raison d'être. That gives many urbanites (in Minneapolis, at least) and suburbanites (love the stately Smith Douglas More House digs in Eden Prairie) a chance to choose between a pick-me-up or a mellow-me-down in liquid form. Add tasty snacks, sammies and small bites, and really, what more is there to life? 337 Washington Av., Mpls.; 612-333-1711. 2528 Hennepin Av.
