This was my first trip to Salty Mac Brewing, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was intrigued by the…read morepour your own beer system they have and always like to try some new beer. The hostess at the front desk was polite, friendly and carefully explained how their system worked. She left the front and came with me to show exactly how their system worked bracelets worked and how you get charged per once of beer, wine and hard seltzer. It was pretty simple, but made complete sense after her demonstration. She answered a few questions and took her time with me, later I noticed her doing the same with other customers. That was a great way to begin my tasting and meal. I decided to try three 5 oz. beers to see what they had and what I liked best. I had an Amber Lager, a Doppelbock and the Lake Huron IPA. All were good, especially the IPA and Doppelbock. Some of the 5 oz. Pours only came to a couple bucks, the beers are individually priced. The Lake Huron IPA was hoppy, crisp and had a good finish (maybe between malty and biscuit). I ordered the Brisket Smoked Corn Street Tacos. They came about ten minutes after I ordered with the hostess (they have a scan menu at the table, but I was told orders can be placed through the counter as well). The tacos were absolutely amazing, the brisket flavor was sweet and smoky, the street corn and lime drizzle was a perfect addition. The order comes with three tacos, which is a good amount...but they were so delicious that I was tempted to put in another order, I resisted and tabbed out after finishing my beer. My bill came to $30 for the 3 (5 oz beer samples), 1 tall pour of IPA and the Smoked Brisket Tacos. I feel that price was very fair for the quality of the beer, food and service. I will definitely come back again and would 100% recommend to beer lovers.

We were greeted by friendly employees every step of the way. We had lunch, ordered pizzas, and they were delicious. They make their own meatballs.. so good.. Had no problem ordering food with the QR code on the table, but it wasn't real busy and employees also offered to take our orders. We liked the menu and found it impressive, more of a foodie experience. The better restaurants often have a smaller menu and everything is fresh and tasty. We noticed that, it was not dozens of choices but a few, and quality products. Salads, appetizers, sandwiches. Anyway, we came back for breakfast lol... worth it! Ohhh they have wonderful coffee too...... We were here during the last week of July. Anyway, we came back a third time.... for dinner and live music... on a friday night...... this time we had the beer experience too. That was fun! A new experience for us and we enjoyed it, a lot. Gotta rem tho to close out your tab.... btw, We are not big outside eaters, but we saw ppl enjoying themselves outside. Congratulations to the people behind this business, very successful. What a huge plus for St Ignace. Parking out front on the street, not sure if the Arnold lot is available out front.

Well lit with kitschy decor-a mix of colorful murals and teapots (teapots are for sale), and other items, like puzzles and cute boxes. Uneven floors add to its charm. Menus are cute newspapers, with "articles" about the place and area in case you're interested. Nice coffee options, like espresso, cappuccino, and lattes, though we elected to have just regular coffee. Served hot with free refills, and choice of half & half or flavored creamers on the table. I ordered the biscuits & gravy with eggs and hash browns, while my husband ordered the lobster Benedict. Food came out relatively quickly and we were both pretty happy with our orders. We ordered extra crispy hash browns and they were the only item that fell short, not being really extra crispy. But they were good enough considering how good the rest of the food was. Our sever came by several times to check on us and give us coffee warm ups. Really just a great experience overall. Sometimes tourist town restaurants miss the mark, but Java Joe's isn't one of those. We loved it and are looking forward to coming back!

Staff was very friendly and patient with the chaos in the store. The place is pretty big, and a little confusing with two separate lines, plenty of people and you still want to see what baked goods they have. And they do carry a huge selection of baked goods. We got a breakfast burrito, bagel with avocado and tomato (vegan), giant cinnamon roll, apple fritters, one regular coffee and iced matcha latte with oat milk. Total $35 plus they charge you for cc payment. Not cheap. The bagel was delicious, chewy and fresh, hubby enjoyed the burrito even if a little small for the price, , the apple fritter was too dry, not many apples were there. Cinnamon roll very good. Iced matcha was good, but the coffee was very mediocre. They have a huge sitting area where we relaxed and enjoyed our food.

The baristas took the time to ask what we were looking for and helped us navigate the menu. The drinks were delicious, and we enjoyed them enough to stop by two days in a row while visiting Mackinaw City. On the first day, I ordered the Coconut Paradise. It was a little heavy on the ice, likely because it was made by a barista in training, but the flavor was well balanced. It was smooth, not too tart, and not overly sweet. The only downside was that the extra ice made it difficult to stir. We also tried the Bird's Eye Latte, which was sweet, flavorful, and very enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who prefers sweeter coffee drinks. On our second visit, I ordered the Maple Harvest Cold Brew. Since it uses real maple syrup, it took some effort to mix thoroughly, and I didn't notice the maple flavor until after stirring. We also tried the matcha, which wasn't sweet and had the rich, earthy green tea flavor that I love. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great drink in Mackinaw City!

There actually is another Doud's down Main Street toward the ferry area, but it's a smaller grab-and-go convenience store, mostly with snacks and coffee. My hotel was right across the street, so I bopped into Doud's a couple of times during my stay, to grab a bottle of wine (they have a decent selection of wine), some candy for my kids, and some fruit because I needed to eat something fresh. The store is tidy and everything is arranged nicely. They also have self-checkout kiosks, so you can get in and out quickly.
