Came in right at close and went to turn around. The employee (perhaps owner?) insisted on making us our drinks and then said they were on the house. Absolutely will be back! Love the generosity and kindness! Coffee was excellent!
Cortado was made more like a latte but was remade which tasted much better. The beans are probably old, the espresso wasn’t great. Good atmosphere though ! Some food options available and beans can be purchased.
We were talking about how dog friendly Petoskey is when a gentleman with a coffee says “you’re dog is welcome here!” Super friendly barista, lattes were great and we got to step out of the rain and enjoy morning coffees with our pup!
The ambiance was welcoming and the owner (Mo) was friendly and knowledgeable with quality espresso to match. Hope to visit again soon!!
We made a special trip on our way home from Traverse City, and were glad we did. On an early, overcast morning, this cozy spot was already very popular. Clean, simple, modern design - the typical white tile and light wood furnishings tucked in on a charming lifestyle side street just a couple blocks from the lake. They were brewing Madcap's Third Coast Blend for espresso. Our latte and espresso were excellent, and the pour over very bright and good. One of the better pour overs we've had in a while. The service was excellent, surpassed only by the pastries - from a lovely selection, we went with the morning bun and butter cake (what's not to love?). Yes, it was a little $$, but for the quality of products and service, definitely worth it. Hopefully enough caffeine to sustain us for the 10 hour drive ahead!
As a full time traveler and coffee affecionado, I can honestly tell you that this cafe has better coffee than north perk. I visit both cafes during my week in Petoskey and ended up buying a bag of Mundos (worlds) from Petoskey Coffee Co. I enjoyed the espresso as a mild and smooth kinda of jazzy cup and the Ethiopia drip was more vibrant, juicy and lively. Def my go to when I return. Checkout our travels @whatrvdoing
