When I was out in Alpena, Mi, this place had easily became my favorite place to go to in the morning and sometimes for lunch. I will say the wait's a little long in the morning as this place is popular. I had ordered coffee and a breakfast wrap and luckily I had some work I could get done while waiting for it. The workers are all so nice and the people coming in and out were also amazed at the amount of souvenirs and merchandise. (Like I was) I was thinking about picking up a quarterzip as they're now in style. If I found myself in Alpena again, you'll catch me here the second I wake up. read more

This place is a heavenly find in Alpena- the coffee is very high quality and the food is eclectic and wonderful- My favorite so far is the frittata-ish snack- it's like an omelette met a pizza slice- I had the feta/spinach and it was amazing! (See pic) Ladies are all great too! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop pretty much anywhere. The coffees are fantastic and the prices are fair. It's a cute shop right in downtown. The people are friendly that work there in the customers are also very friendly. I miss going there. read more

Please correct your hours on Maps! Pretty disappointed. I traveled from southern Michigan, looking for a hot coffee on a chilly day. Arrived 3:54pm. Maps states a 4:30pm closetime. I didn't notice the sign and barista stated we have 5 Minutes for her to make our drinks and lock up. We felt rushed and chose Biggby instead. read more

A great coffee shop just a few blocks from the marina where we've docked our boat for a few nights as we make our way further north. We ordered the Farmers breakfast on a croissant & on a wrap. We did ask for a side of salsa, it didn't come with it, it was just our preference. It was very good. The coffee was also good. It's a quaint local spot & was fairly busy when we walked in, which was a good sign that it must be a good place. read more

This is an awesome find on a Sunday morning after a late wedding reception. This is a perfect home town cafe that cares about the quality of their coffee. From Latte's to cold brews or just old fashioned back coffee, you'll love it. The food is OK, you're there for the coffee and atmosphere! read more

normally their services are awesome but I just went in after couple years of not going there and we arrived maybe an hour before closing for some coffee. my husband and I ordered two large coffees and they were made suspiciously fast. when we tried the coffee it was incredibly watered down...and I could tell it was not the same as before (I normally always order the same drink) the lady at register was visibly irritated and short with us. kinda disappointing visit read more

My sisters and I went to Alpena for the fiberfest at the aplex. We wanted a small shop coffee and some food for friends at the festival. My sister ordered a oatmeal cream pie iced coffee. She received a hot pumpkin vanilla something. The sticker on her cup was correct but her drink was anything but. I went to order and told the person at the counter that I could not have any sugar or sugar substitutes. She said i could have a blended espresso with heavy cream. I asked to make sure no flavor or sugar right and she said no just coffee and cream. I got my drink and we left. My sister didnt tell the person at the counter her drink was wrong as the girl seemed new and needed help ringing a drink in. I did not try my drink wanted to wait until I got to the festival to enjoy my drink with our friends I got the food for. I took one drink and had to throw it out was full of sugar and vanilla flavor. Waste of money and drinks arent cheap. I sent a message to the coffee shop and the response was awful. Sorry you didnt like your drinks. Dont you mean sorry you didnt get our orders right. They also said next time tell us right away and we will fix them. Well hard to do when i am all the way at the aplex. Also maybe give your employee's som training and they didnt even offer to replace the coffees. Just sorry about your luck sorry you wasted money at our shop for something you coupdnt drink or enjoy. I work hard for my money and am in customer service and this would never be my answer to a customer. Lesson learned. read more

Usually a really great experience. We come here every single time we are in the area. Sunday Sept 1st. Walked in a few min after 3pm. Got to hear the two women working complaining about having so much work to do since they close in 45 min. People kept coming in, and everyone could hear it. You close at 4PM, this is your JOB. read more

We were recently in Alpena (Father's Day weekend) and our oldest son found this great cafe. The service was excellent. The drinks were well made; the food was tasty and filling. The atmosphere was welcoming. If you are ever in Alpena, I highly recommend this cafe be one of your local stops. read more

Cute coffee spot in Alpena. Delicious coffee and pineapple. The frosting was amazing. I got the Cabin Fever Cappuccino with oatmilk. It wasn't too sweet. I recommend stopping here to support a small, local business. read more

The food is nice and a lot of variety of options are available which is impressive for a cafe and not a full kitchen. The staff is friendly and and efficient. The lattes are unique and interesting to the area in specific calling out a shipwrecked mocha or a lodge latte. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a fantastic coffee house experience - check this place out! And don't forget to purchase some of their in house beans to take home! read more

My sister and I both got the wrong order. My sister asked for a iced oatmeal cream pie coffee and got a hot pumpkin vanilla something. The sticker on her coffee was right but her coffee was way wrong. I told the person at the counter I could have no sugar or sugar substitutes. So I just wanted a iced coffee with heavy cream. She asked if I wanted it blended and I stressed again no sugar including substitutes and zero sugar. She said no just coffee and heavy cream. I also ordered food for our friends at the Aplex where there was a festival going on. I didnt try my coffee until we got to the festival and it was full of sugar. My sticker on my cup was correct coffee and heavy cream only. I had to throw the drink out. Wasted money and the coffees are not cheap. I contacted the shop and they said should have told us when you were here we would have fixed it. Kind of hard to do when I wasnt there when I tried it. Wanted to enjoy it with my friends at the festival. I said that I hadnt tried it at the shop and that I had waited. I was basically told tough. No apology. At first the person who I told this to said sorry you didnt like your drink. I said no they were totally wrong all the way around. Didn't like them wasnteven the case. Very poor customer service also. read more

Amazing almond croissant and mocha. Busy place and good service. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Was really excited to try this coffee shop after a hot summer afternoon of hiking and biking. The downtown section where the restaurant is located is very cute and inviting. Upon opening the door, I was drawn to the interesting details and the warm, inviting feel. We are very conservative about our choices during the pandemic, so we were happy when the cafe was only lightly visited by customers late Friday afternoon, close to closing. When we stepped up to the register to order, it was disappointing to see the staff member wearing her mask below her nose. Not a promising sign of commitment as we ordered our drinks. We both ordered iced mochas and rated them "fair,". Nothing special, but cold, not too sweet and a good coffee flavor. A darker chocolate and less milk might have left a better impression. The desserts in the case looked tasty. In our next visit, we will try something warm to drink with a sweet treat. Look forward to trying them out again. Lots of seating options, inside and out. Good WiFi read more

Cabin Creek Coffee - a cold beverage in a plastic cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpena, Michigan

I came to this nice cafe many times in my first year in Alpena. I loved the turkey paninis always served with a healthy portion of turkey bacon and veggies. Today i got a turkey panini with the tiniest slice of turkey/bacon and hardly any veggies. I ate half wondering why i was so unsatisfied with it. I took the other half to the counter and showed them how empty the sandwich was. All of the women who work here are very nice and i am only directing this review at todays sandwich maker. She knows who she is. I dont take kindly to abusive "service" So--- on of the nice women who work there offered to have it "remade". However when i got the "remade" sandwich it was the same exact half i returned. It was disgusting looking and clearly meant to give me the big middle finger. I might also add that todays "sandwich maker" rudely dropped it on my table. I felt her treatment was abusive and i have been nothing but polite to every one there. I walked out without eating the disgusting food. The sandwich maker needs to work on her attitude. There is no excuse for the way i was treated. I will never return to this cafe. read more

Great cold brew and snacks. I wish they offered real cups and real mugs for dine-in customers. They do offer real plates and silverware for dine-in. Cabin Creek, please reduce your environmental footprint and offer real cups/mugs. read more

Most everything here is perfect; the coffee and staff are phenomenal and the place is quiet. The perfect place for someone to hang out with friends or get some personal work done. It would be nice if they had food or snack options available but I don't see why you couldn't bring your own. read more

Super cute cabin theme going on in here! If you can't see in make sure to just open the door as the window are probably steamed up from all the fresh brew being made in here. Nice selection of baked goods ranging from cookies to cake. read more

Cabin Creek Coffee - Iced caramel latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpena, Michigan

The wraps are very good. The pasta salad is amazing. The atmosphere is cozy. I've tried to love the beverages here, but after numerous attempts, I just do not. The coffee, even with espresso, is not strong, bold, or very flavorful in itself. I ordered a smoothie today thinking, how can I go wrong? On an 80 degree day, craving some icy cold goodness, the last thing anyone wants is a lukewarm warm smoothie. I'm not even sure how that happens when I was told the menu I ordered from was made with a "frozen" real fruit mix. If you want something akin to a sugar loaded drink that tastes nothing like coffee, you will probably love the drinks here. Otherwise, i highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat but skipping the coffee/smoothies. I'll continue to get the yummy food here but have given up on the beverage menu. read more

Stopped here twice today. In the morning for a coffee drink, taught the gals how to make a quad flat white. Was decent. Nice and creamy. Went back with a buddy for a late lunch. Had a Wildberry-Mango Smoothie with the Cuban sandwich. Pretty good. Both of them. It's a nice atmosphere and the staff are great. Lots of business for a Sunday so seems popular among the locals. More so than Biggby Coffee. Worth a stop. read more

On our way home after a trip to the family cottage and decided to stop for breakfast for the road.

This is such a wonderful little place I can't believe it has escaped being reviewed by some travelling Yelper yet. I was, luckily, referred here by the lady in the knitting shop, Yarns to Go, across the street. I generally look for little old mom and pop cafes to eat in but was sure glad to come in here today. I got some of their delicious coffee "Holiday Grog"), of course, some exquisitely delicious pumpkin-apple-something else I can't remember soup, some Farmers Strata, and it was a combo that came with a half chocolate muffin. Total was about $11 and worth every penny! read more

We come here every time we come up north. The coffee is good if you've come to expect way more than your standard American drip coffee. The hot chocolate is out of this world and the WiFi always works! read more

Cabin creek serves the finest coffee and baked goods north of the mason dixon. Run, don't walk, here to pick up a chipotle sandwich on croissant, then wash it down with a (heated) cinnamon roll. Your tastebuds will thank you, and so will your eyes as you gaze upon the big game trophies adorning the walls. I'd also like to respond to Nikki's July 2016 review of Cabin Creek Coffee. Among other ignorant statements, she claimed the establishment is not a gathering spot for intellectuals. But my friends and I came here and all four of us scored above a 15 on the ACT, so clearly that is not true. The only thing hotter than the coffee are the women who work behind the counter. Five stars for Cabin Creek. read more
