I just found out about this magical spot today. It's a dream come true for a coffee lover in Whitehall. They have the best Lavender Iced Matcha Latte for miles! The shop is a bit hidden back in the strip mall, but it's well worth searching it out. The shop is bright, clean, and full of yummy goodies, and the people are lovely. You won't be disappointed! read more

Colby’s Cafe & Brew - Lavender Iced Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Whitehall, Michigan

I visited Colby's Cafe & Brew while with colleagues at Camp Miniwaka a few miles down the road on a recommendation by camp staffers. I am so happy they overheard our conversation because this spot was perfect for an afternoon treat! As soon as we entered we were greeted with a smile, a varied menu board, a creative specials list, and a delectable sweets case. This casual spot is comfy and offers a booth next to an outlet for time to work if you need it. I ordered a Honey Lavender Matcha made with oat milk - it was creamy and delicious! We were also excited about the varied options for scones and baked goods. I was tempted by the cannolis, but decided on a cherry white chocolate scone and was blown away at the flavor and texture. Scones at other places are sometimes dry and crumbly but these were soft and so fresh tasting. I regret I didn't take any photos. You'll just have to go yourself to check it out! read more

This is a second chance review! They have improved tremendously!!! I would recommend this place now, very good food. Veggie burger was great needs to be firmer but had good flavor. Tuscan grilled cheese was amazing definitely a winner. The power wrap was ok too much oil imo but very good. Now the star of the day for me was their fries wow are they good.... Overall pleased with my lunch I will be back soon. read more

We stopped here on the way back from Electric Forest and it did not disappoint. I got the Chai Tea Latte which was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. It is sweet but still delicious. I got the sriracha honey biscuit which included a biscuit with egg, bacon, and cheese. This was also delicious. The sriracha honey did not really stay on the biscuit but where it was on the biscuit was absolutely yummy. The service was good, but a little slow. For instance, our drinks took a half an hour. The ambiance of the place is casual. I was most impressed by the prices of things and the quality of the food. read more

We were staying at an Airbnb nearby and needed something for breakfast. This place had some vegan items on the menu so we decided to try it out. I was a little skeptical but it was that or a typical greasy spoon with not so many vegan friendly dishes. I was very pleasantly surprised to see the espresso machine and that they do offer decaf coffee and espresso plus few diffetent options of dairy free milk. We ordered at the counter, got a number and headed to the booth. I got a oatmilk ice latte with decaf coffee and hazelnut syrup. It was phenomenal. I haven't had such a good latte in a while. Hubby got regular coffee and he also confirmed it was very good. For breakfast I had avocado toast with seasoned potatoes, he had breakfast burrito. Both were very good. Well seasoned and fresh. Did I mention the coffee? On our way back home from the dunes we stopped by again so around 5pm as I needed another iced coffee, it was so good. We decided to stay for dinner. I got the vegan burger and he got regular burger. We also split a side of fries. Both burgers were again delicious and the best part were the fries. I've never seen potatoes cut this way but they were amazing! We got two iced lattes to go with oatmilk, decaf and caramel syrup and we enjoyed it on our 4h drive back to metro Detroit. It's rare that we eat at the same place twice a day but I'm glad we did as the food was really good, fresh and homemade. And the coffee...I should mention the coffee...mmmm... We will be back for sure. The place is very clean, modern decor and friendly staff. Be prepare to wait a little for the food but it's worth it. read more

Try the desserts. With a nice cup of cool and a friend. Perfect break in the day! I love the carrot cake and the tiramisu. Breakfast menu is always good. They open early and have lots of parking and seating. read more

Great local spot for anything from a coffee or Italian soda to a snack or meal, any time of day. Order at the counter, take a number to your table. Very cafeteria-like feel in the seating area, though the booths are comfortable. Clean and modern decor with nice bathrooms. Service is quick and friendly. Food is moderately priced, but good. I tried something new... veggie goat panini with bacon added to it. They cut the bacon up so it was easy to eat. Overall, I find the paninis to be very greasy, but maybe that's just how paninis are. The housemade chips are really good. The avo toast is definitely something we can make at home for half the cost, but my daughter said it was very good. I love their chili... just wish they offered it in a cup size, not just bowl. Lotsa good coffee options and they are good with modifying. They also have a drive thru. Colby's is a great addition to the White Lake area... happy to have ya here. :) read more

I'm so glad to see a place like this in Whitehall! I don't live here anymore but would have been thrilled to have it growing up. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options, breakfast served all day, and tasty coffee. Perfect for me! There's also plenty of gluten free options and baked goods. The only complaint I'd have is that it's a bit pricey - so - I don't think I'd frequent as much as I'd like, but it's worth the cost. Hoping this place stays around. read more

Great addition to the White Lake area! Good food and good prices plenty of seating and great atmosphere!! baked goods are very good!!

3.5 stars. Order at the counter and find a seat. Food was fine. No servers. Was fairly busy on a Saturday morning.

A great new spot in Whitehall! What I have been wishing for! The space is so welcoming and clean. Colby's Cafe features coffee, bakery items, breakfast and lunch items! At this time, Colby's Cafe is open breakfast-dinner time. The prices seemed reasonable. The bread for the grilled cheese was fabulous and the seasoned potatoes tasted great! I did order a piece of carrot cake to take home and it was certainly the best carrot cake I have ever had. I wish this establishment great success! read more

we ordered an online order, they either changed or must have been out of their sidewinder fires and gave us soggy regular fries. we also ordered extra sauces and paid for them but never received them. we were also yelled at for parking in the online order/ togo parking area even though the kid working the drive thru window told us to park there. we also waited 45 minutes for one sandwich and fries. such a bummer. read more

The place is very cute. Got an Americano coffee and it was just ok and took 45 min to get the coffee and we dined in. We got it after we were done eating. Breakfast sandwich was average. Also got the power wrap that was flavorful. Also ordered a cold huckleberry lavender drink, very good but again took 45 min to get a cold drink? read more

Food is great! Staff is friendly! Prices are really reasonable given how good the food is. The spiral fries are great. The burger and club sandwich are really good. And their desserts are fantastic. You have to try the lemon blueberry coffee cake- wow! Our new favorite stop heading down to Muskegon from Ludington. read more

This place is amazing, I have been here a couple of times and each time I am beyond impressed with the quality and creativity of the food. The coffee is great and the mugs let you settle in. This restaurant is a bit hidden but you will be rewarded when you come in! read more

Really good food and coffee. Very nice clean place with plenty of seating. We ate there 2 days in a row and the second day we got paper cups even though we were eating in so it was a little less nice. Overall will definitely go back, nice to have another option! read more

Good food! Service was just ok but it was busy. The ambience was more like a cafeteria. I recommend this place for breakfast

Really great sandwiches, desserts and coffee. The only thing I didn't care for was there minestrone soup. I haven't tried the other soups so I can't say if the others are better. Nice place to write or catch up on homework. read more

Very good, fresh, healthy, made from scratch food! I had the cob salad; lettuce and ingredients were fresh and dressing tasted homemade. My husband had the club sandwich. Looked good and I helped myself to some of his fries which were delicious (especially dipped in the salad dressing). Service was good and fast. We'll be back to try breakfast. read more

Amazing food, I love their beagles and their fall food is my favorite i 100% recommend

Great coffee! Great smiling service! Fresh ingredients! Clean and cute. I had no wait. If this was in a larger town or city it would be inaccessible due to crowds. Charming and cute! Worth stopping!!!! read more

Clean, contemporary, bright, lots of outside light, thoughtful young staff, really great food and drinks. We have been going here since they opened and have loved every item we have tried. The specials are always unexpected combinations that taste great. We have especially enjoyed the Colby Club and the Fancy Egg sandwich which are always on the menu. Lots of great vegetarian options and the Power Wrap and the Country Veggie Skillet are good ones to try. Don't skip out on a great coffee drink (try "The Colby") or one of the energy drinks (try the Huckleberry Lavender or the Peach Lemonade Spritz). Give Alyssa and her crew a try. read more

This place takes forever and the employees are rude! 10 out of 10 won't be coming back!

Healthy soups and delicious wide variety of sandwiches! Clean, bright quiet! The service is wonderful!!

Cute coffee shop vibes. Breakfast, and lunch options are way better than the average coffee shop! Unique breakfast and lunch specials every week; always something new to try. Curbside takeout, online ordering is so convenient. Hoping someday they add a bar and fun cocktails. read more

I absolutely love this place! I love introducing my friends to the cute little cafe by my house. Colby's has the perfect aesthetic for a cute breakfast or brunch.
