(Deserts, soups and salads too). It has two rooms. One side is more of a take out deli counter, while the other side has tables to enjoy your beverage and food. It's also located a few steps away from a chocolate/candy shop... just in case you need to make an extra stop (since you parked your car already)!!!

I was happy to see that my small hometown had a new cool place to get special coffee that you can make at home. I am a huge coffee fan and order beans from a roaster in Lansing. We sampled the coffee the next morning and it was pretty good. However, I like stronger coffee than my mom and stepdad so I think if I had made it, it would have been better. I love that they have a variety of flavored coffees and nuts as well.

When searching for coffee options around town, this place was the first place I wanted to try…read more They had me at 'roasting their own coffee'. I would say this place is great to grab some whole beans to bring home with you but not much of a place to stop in to grab a coffee. The only coffee they had to go was in those pump coffee dispensers that you see at Panera, Biggby and the sorts. They sold a Chemex so I would have liked to see them off a coffee to go from a Chemex. Basically disappointed in the to go options but I'm excited to try my whole beans brewed when I get back home!

I ordered via mobile App and went in to grab an iced coffee and a Frappuccino for the kiddo. I was struck by how well the customer flow inside was clearly indicated. Plexiglass kept customers and the staff separated. When I walked in and there was a table with hand sanitizer and face masks at the entrance, I felt pretty comfortable. I was the only person inside and all the remaining tables were social distanced well. The salted caramel cream cold brew was icy and tasty. The teen enjoyed the caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino. It's Starbucks, so I expect it to be good. The pandemic organization inside the store was an added bonus.

Interesting location.... This Biggby is situated in a hotel lobby, right next to the check-in desk…read more It has what you need though. The full range of Biggby drinks, some pastries, clean tables and free wi-fi. The coffee was a little weak, and the pastry selection was small--the last probably inevitable in a location not a lot of people are coming through just for their coffee and breakfast. It's located a couple blocks off US 2. Watch for the sign along the road.

I loved this little coffee shop so much that we visited twice in three days while staying at our…read morefriends' cabin near Manistique. The menu is pretty large, with lots of options for coffee and non-coffee drinkers. The first visit I got a medium iced latte with English toffee syrup. They told me that the medium lattes have two shots of espresso and asked if that was okay - appreciated that check in (and it was definitely okay!). The latte was good, I was hoping for a bit stronger espresso flavor, but it did the trick. Nate got the Yooper latte, which was a s'mores flavored drink that was sweet and delicious. On our next visit, I got an iced coffee with vanilla cold foam, which was so tasty! Nate got a cappuccino that was nicely balanced. The employees we interacted with (younger, students?) were all SUPER polite and friendly. Great customer service! The shop is cute and rustic and they have items for sale like mugs, shirts, stickers, cards, etc. I'll be back!

We love our small town coffee shops and we're hopeful when we stepped into The Grind Coffee House…read more First impressions are important and, unfortunately, this little coffeeshop was less than impressive. It was busy with very little order or space to serve customers well. The 3-person staff were hustling to work the counter and the drive thru but it all looked and felt chaotic on an August Friday around 11:15 am. The casual vibe was overshadowed by a general lack of organization and intention in appearance. For a small space, there was too much clutter. The photos here display the best features: good detail on drinks to order, hardworking staff behind the counter, and a lovely, positive thought. Cleanliness also left something to be desired. Looks like a good deep clean is in order. We ordered two mochas as we have been traveling the UP this past week and stopping in a new local coffeeshop daily in search of the best mocha. We were disappointed by these mochas: warm but not hot, thin and runny, way too sweet. Even the small decaf brewed coffee was meh. Our standards are high and most other small town coffee shops in the UP have exceeded them. The hardworking staff were the best part of this experience and deserve a shout out. The place is busy (little competition in the area) and apparently not well-run.

5/5 -- A Hidden Gem Fueled by Faith and Great Coffee!…read more A few weeks back, I was riding my motorcycle through Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula on a trip from Maryland and stopped overnight in Munising. The next morning, I went searching for some good coffee and came across Rustic Grounds Coffee Trailer. As I looked over the menu, I saw a variety of great options and asked if I could make a small tweak to one of their specialty lattes -- no hesitation, no problem, they made it happen! When I took that first sip... wow. Smooth, balanced, and genuinely one of the best lattes I've had. I've traveled all over the world, and this little coffee trailer easily holds its own among my favorite stops. Top 10? Maybe not, but definitely my top favorite in the UP! (I'm originally from the UP, born and raised in.) While enjoying my drink, I noticed the cup had the outline of Michigan's Upper Peninsula with the words "Fueled by Jesus & Coffee." That made me smile. Then I saw the T-shirts hanging on a wall by the side of the trailer featuring Bible verses and faith-inspired designs -- such a great touch! This place is more than just a coffee stop; it's a reflection of love, faith, and community. If you're ever in Munising and want amazing coffee while supporting a small, family-owned, Christian business -- Rustic Grounds is absolutely the place to go. I'll definitely be back when I ride through the UP again!

We got an Oatmeal Cookie Latte which was so delicious and sweet and cinnamony and my boyfriend got a Backwoods Bootlegger which was surprisingly bourbony. Not my kind of thing but if you're into a less sweet drink I would recommend it, he really liked it! We also each got breakfast pies which were also really yummy and filling. They have Cholula hot sauce at the bar with the sugar and cream if that's your thing (it is mine!). Super cute spot with some nice outdoor seating. Service was kind and fast.
