Their menu has a lot of options to choose from but I didn't find it overwhelming and they even have a wheel you can spin if you're super indecisive! Espresso Milano really captures the small town coffee shop vibe that I've been missing living in Metro Detroit. The place felt so cozy and I loved all of the plants, decor, and the warmth of the place. Tons of personality in this little shop. We chatted with Brad for a while and had a nice conversation about the shop and coffee and he was so kind and open to talking to us even though I'm sure he had closing work to do. Espresso Milano has been around for 31 years!! and I can see why even from this short visit. PLUS the coffee was delicious! Not too sweet at all, I love to be able to actually taste the coffee in my drinks. I would definitely recommend stopping in. It also seems like it would be a great place to have a chat with a friend or to bring a laptop to get some work done. I'll definitely be returning the next time I find myself in Midland.

Manifesting the Perfect Latte (And It Worked)…read more Before I even stepped foot into Live Oak Coffeehouse, I closed my eyes and set my intention. I envisioned the perfect coconut almond milk latte--smooth, rich, subtly sweet, and crafted with care. I felt the warmth of the cup in my hands, the aroma wrapping around me like a cozy hug from the universe itself. I whispered to the cosmos: "Let this latte be everything I desire and more." And guess what? The universe delivered. I entered Live Oak with gratitude in my heart, and the barista--clearly an enlightened being--crafted my drink with the energy of a thousand good vibrations. The first sip? Pure alignment. The flavors danced in harmony, the temperature was just right, and for a moment, I felt like I had truly ascended. The ambiance of this place? Calm, inviting, full of positive frequencies. People chatted, read, worked, all in a state of peaceful flow. You could feel the creativity and good energy buzzing in the air. Some say you can't manifest happiness in a cup, but I'm here to tell you--you absolutely can. If you're ever in Midland, set your intention, walk into Live Oak, and let the magic happen.

Good coffee, friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere to chat with friends or even do some work…read more We were visiting Midland for a niece's graduation. We visited Live Oak Twice during our stay. They have a large selection of coffees that they roast themselves. Unlike a major chain, their coffee doesn't taste like burnt beans. The coffee had a nice flavor, with a strong finish that isn't bitter. Their syrups are also made in house. For the ones we tried, they were delicious. Not sugary sweet, so you can actually decern the various flavors. There was a board with the staff's choices, one being a Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, my partner enjoyed it and it was fantastic when she let me try it. I had both the Caramel Latte and Macchiato. I was pleased with both. Even though we didn't get any, they had a good selection of Gluten Free options. The food is also made in house, meaning that they make these gluten free options on their own. Unlike many other chains and local shops that don't have any Gluten Free options, even if they are resold versions of major brands. That shows a care for those in the community that either for medical reasons or by choice eat Gluten Free. The environment in the shop is warm and inviting. Whether you are having a conversation with friends, reading a book, or trying to work on your laptop you'll find an area for you. The staff was friendlier than what I expect from a coffee shop. Usually they will great you, but they're more about getting your order and moving on to the next customer. The staff here would answer questions and where informative. Surprisingly, many of them were knowledgeable not only about the coffee, but the business itself. Do not sleep on Live Oak Coffee. You'll regret it.

They only had two baristas when we came in Sunday morning. We were two groups and the food and drinks took a long time. But I think they really needed a third person behind the bar. The Vanilla Oatmilk latte I ordered was super sweet, I'd say if you like sweet, this is for you. If not go with a regular latte. But maybe the Oatmilk was sweet too? It was a bit too sweet for me. The muffin was tasty. And the avocado toast was okay. It was super uniform and flat. The bread was okay. Nothing special here. The service was also flat. I didn't find the same warmth I did as when I went to their competitors in the area. But maybe they were too busy for warmth. I found It cold. Maybe it's new, maybe they are still figuring It out, maybe they were short handed this morning. I wasn't in a rush but other people in my party definitely were disappointed with the wait time. Patience is a virtue. Not sure I'll return with other amazing options. But I hope you do well, it's great to see so many choices in Midland for small coffee shops. Come with patience. The food isn't bad, It just wasn't great.

Know that the owner has taken pains to preserve and enhance the beauty of this older space. Wood burning fireplace in back seating area, gorgeous wood and glass door coolers and bakery case, tile flooring and lots of woodwork. Some nice bespoke items for sale including Wiley lotion and soap, locally-made incense and oils, and a few other dainties. Our cappuccinos were delicious and service was welcoming. Baked goods are sourced from Crust - a Michigan company that is delicious (Westborn and several other Detroit-area markets sell their Fenton-baked goodies). Noticed the bagged coffee beans for sale are from California. Wondering why not sell local Michigan roasted beans? Will return.

I think it's maybe a wine/cocktail bar at night too? They serve coffee as well as crepes and sandwiches at breakfast. I wasn't hungry so I just got a mocha, which was tasty and served in a nice big mug. I was able to get a seat near an outlet which was nice. It looks like they may have some outdoor seating in the back for warmer months. The free wifi was fast and helped me get a lot of work done while I was there. Street parking was easy to find and I would come back to this cute shop sometime again! I'd love to try a crepe, they all sounded tasty and I loved the savory options.

It did not taste fresh and authentic. Remarkably it has a high rating online, but I guess it just depends on who's doing the rating. I can imagine in a place like Midland Michigan, this would be very new and exotic without much to compare to. If you've ever tried Egyptian or Middle Eastern food, you won't be impressed . If it's totally new to you, then it might be a good experience.

I really wanted to support this family owned business, but the food was just very average…read more We've ordered regular portion of koshary to share, falafel wrap and chicken shawarma wrap, plus baklava to try, as they said it's made in house. They didn't have the skever for the meat, so we were a little hesitant, but ordered anyway. We paid for all that food $44, and left hungry. Portions are so small, it's hard for me to belive this place will survive mall food court with such a small portions for a lot of money. Koshary was very bland, no specific flavor at all. The garlic sauce was just very salty water without any garlic flavor. Both wraps were very small, and the falafel one was so dry, I was choking trying to eat it. Had to buy extra tahini to make it edible. $2+ for a very tiny portion of extra tahini. On top of that everything was too salty. I hoped for the baklava, but it went straight to trash can after my first bite. It had raisins in it. It overwhelmed the flavor, made it tasty raisiny instead of nutty. Also. the nuts were chopped in big pieces. I've had enough share of baklava living close to Dearborn, and this was the worst thing ever. I rarely throw anything, but this had to go. Awful. The owner seemed like a very nice person, but unfortunately with those prices and small amount of food, I can't give more stars. There is nothing expensive in those ingredients either, so this is surprising. If it only the taste was good... not either. Sorry
