Do not get beans here. Do not let them grind them. I like to support local shops when I am…read moretraveling and I have my own espresso maker. I asked for espresso grind. When I opened the bag I could tell right away it was too fine. I attempted to pull a shot, but got nothing. It was most definitely Turkish grind. Since I could do nothing with the bag, I went back to explain this was ground too fine. The same individual was there and reacted with condensation, saying this is indeed espresso grind, which is basically Turkish, and he doesn't know what kind of maker I have so he cannot dial it in. I said I have never had this problem in the years I have done this at other shops. He acted like he could do nothing for me, so when I pressed that I can do nothing with these beans I spent money on, he got on the phone. At one point I heard him say, "Yes, I tried to explain that to her." As if I didn't know what I was talking about. I was finally given the option to get a bag of beans without having them ground, which is all I really wanted. I can grind the beans in my own grinder at home. I went down the street and bought a bag of beans there. I asked for espresso grind and mentioned that the last place gave me Turkish. She had to look up the appropriate setting, but she got it perfect. When I got home and opened the bag of beans from Black Iron, the beans were oily and smelled burnt. My coffee tasted that way, too. I was rather shocked because the latter I had ordered with my purchase was not bad. I had to use them up slowly by masking the bad taste with my go-to beans.

Love this cafe! I haven't tried them in years since moving away, but had to stop in during a recent…read morevisit home. They have since changed owners since I last visited, and had the opportunity to meet the new owners daughter who was working on bar that day. She is so friendly and makes a great macchiato! I used to be a barista for a few years and have since become an at home espresso enthusiast. This cafe produces delicious, quality espresso made with care. Quiet, clean, and cozy. Great study spot or catch up with friends. Can't wait to return next time I'm in town!

This was located in downtown Howell, at the intersection corner, the most perfect place to get…read morecoffee and people watch. The facility was accessible without steps, clean, well lit and lots of space to sit and chill. We placed our order. I had a pistachio hot chocolate. Never had one before. It was good. Tasted like warm nuts with chocolate. The restrooms were in the back. I found them to be very large and clean The seating area was open and the vibe was relaxed. $7 for a hot chocolate seems like a lot that also include tip. I really like the location. There's lots of parking around behind the facility or along the street, but it's right in the intersection so it's something you walk to.

It all looks so good. I got the cold brew with chai and cream. While it was not strong coffee, it was nice and spicy and pleasant, very drinkable. I will definitely be back here for more. I would love to try their Ghirardelli hot chocolate if I find them on a fall day.

Not the best latte I've ever had, but I was disappointed in it either. The service was good. I HATE that at checkout the kiosk asks if you want to tip. I think people have forgotten why the tipping process was created. Anyway.... Very cozy place. They sell some local goods such as candles, jewelry, and homemade cards (made by a 10 year old). Check it out!

I knew they had amazing sweets of course, but had no idea the other quick breakfast/lunch options. I ended up selecting what I'll call the pickle pizza. Posting a picture. I am a pickle lover and have tried most pickle foods...this one was AMAZING. I'll also add that despite it just being a grab and go counter, even in those instances you can have bad service. Not here! I was greeted immediately and kindly, questions answered, and the young lady helping was patient and helpful. I can't wait to go back and try other items!

Needless to say, this was our first stop before the Festival of Lights Parade started. There have been some changes made to the interior since our last visit (another cooler for drinks and misc goodies and a couple shelves of specialty cookies, etc). M Street Baking does offer many delicious treats and tonight we were told of a "secret menu item" - a pita / pasta served in a cup. Pita / Pasts offerings include: Mac & Cheese; Alfredo; and Marinara. Good stuff!!!

The place is quiet, has tables, chairs, nooks, Wi-Fi, East-facing windows, and ample parking. But If you're looking to have a sit down breakfast, not-so-much. You can order food and it's designed as grab-and-go. They do most all the hot food on their panini press. This all seemed surprising based on the size of the space I was standing in. I had the sausage, egg and cheese burrito which was hot, cheesy and had sausage and egg in it. My husband had the Ham and Swiss panini which was hot, had lines in it, with ham and swiss cheese and even some mustard to give it a little kick! The gentleman at the counter was very polite and nice. Support this small business! Buy coffee here -- they make good coffee!

They serve up a terrific individual bagel with or without butter. It's the kind of shoppe that will have cream cheeses but not schmears. A while back I had a great special consisting of a bagel sandwich and cup of soup for like $6.50. A pretty nice deal, however, the soup was decent and the sandwich rather bland. Similar to heat and serve bake shoppe style. The service is great and the people very friendly and accommodating. A typical array of bagels that I believe they make on site. Excellent coffee selections, too. I've tried every flavour and haven't had a bad bagel yet. Open 6 days a week, this one's a winner! 04/25
