This is a nice little coffee shop. I like that they have decaf espresso to make drinks. I had a decaf latte and it was good. I have tried the baked goods at 2 locations and I do not think they are anything special, honestly. I would stick to the drinks. Staff was friendly.

Forte coffee was a lovely find! My boyfriend and I were driving back to chicago and we wanted some coffee and decided to stop by here. The menu was extremely cute! Well designed and explained every item really well. I had the cracker jack hazelnut and caramel latte and my boyfriend got the shamrock latte. We also got the biscottis - butterscotch and dark chocolate! Super super yum. Our barista was very nice and helpful! Overall the ambiance was great, very cute. Fun Fact: this coffee shop is connected to a glass blowing gallery/factory! Coolest thing ever.

Delicious coffee but $10 for a matcha latte is indeed ridiculous. I only go when I want to treat myself. The owner is so nice and it is ALWAYS packed. I wish they would do more special matcha latte's but haven't seen anything yet. I do love the fact that they do specials on their whiteboard and switch them up often. I was in between giving them 3 and 4 stars but I truly think that $10 for a drink is soooooooo expensive. My order is matcha latte with oatmilk iced that's it!!

Very cool little coffee shop! Friendly staff, great coffee and awesome cookies! Beautiful interior, the ceiling is gorgeous! As are the old hard wood floors!

The wall menu to truly satisfy your needs.

I was up in Benton Harbor for a graduation party and I was looking for a Starbucks, well the closest one was in another town. My family told me about this place and once I visited this place and tried was they had to offered, Starbucks was no longer on my mind. Very friendly service, beautiful decor and some of the best tasting coffee to delight you, please visit these folks.

I loved it. I love iced coffee drinks and baked goods. This place has both! I sat outside in the sun and relaxed.

I love my coffee, so when I travel, I always seek out a local roaster, and I am SO GLAD that I…read morefound Uncommon during my first visit to Lake Michigan! I'd come across them while doing my HW for the trip, but without really knowing the area, I'd thought that staying in South Haven meant I wouldn't get the chance to visit, but after stopping in to The Flying Saucer in South Haven and picking up their beans there for the house, I learned everything is kinda close on this part of the coast! This is their main location, right in the heart of Saugatuck. It's cozy and colorful, warm and inviting, and filled with some incredibly sweet people. Oh yeah. They have A LOT of great coffee too! Their specialty and seasonal drinks all sounded delicious, but I'm a purist in pursuit of the best cup of black coffee, here for the single origins and blends that are sourced and roasted by this skilled team. Walking in I was faced by a massive wall filled with beautiful bags of beans from all over the world, each labeled with notes on origin, processing and flavor profile. I set my sights on a pour over and when the cashier said I could choose anything from the wall, I was gobsmacked (that's a funny word). The range was so impressive, with great representation from all over the world, processed in all different ways, making the choice quite difficult. It's a good thing I used my time in line to look at all of the options, and I settled on a white honey processed coffee called Villa Sarchi, which was delightful. If I have one quibble it's that they didn't have an actual pour over menu and this is simply because I enjoy asking the baristas about the coffees. This spot is super hot, with a line out the door at all times, so despite the barista at the counter being incredibly accommodating, I couldn't in good conscience hold up the patrons behind me with too many questions or returns to the wall. I also tried their espresso lime tonic for a beverage to stroll with and enjoyed the slight sweet and tart drink very much on a hot day. Uncommon also has a great menu of food offerings and we had a bagel breakfast sandwich and one of their MASSIVE savory scones. I wish I'd asked or been asked about warming the scone because it definitely needed it, but holy hell this thing was packed with cheesy goodness and the perfect foil to my naturally sweet coffee. Normally I go home with one bag of coffee as a souvenir, but I couldn't help but buy two, which were in addition to the beans I also bought in South Haven! In total I think I sampled about 5 different Uncommon roasts and loved them all! I loved this place so much I looked to buy merch, but sadly they had run out of the sizes I needed. There's always next time. Or maybe they'll ship...

We loved uncommon! Best shop in town. Prepare to wait a long time though... I waited 30 minutes for…read moremy drink even though my husband got his in under 10 (same order). I wish they had come out together! But the drinks were delicious. We enjoyed the pancake latte, a cold brew, and the carrot cake latte. The shops (we did try both locations) were packed but I bet if it was slower I'd enjoy hanging out inside too. Another thing they offer are different coffee classes in Douglas. We did the better brew class and learned so much while also got to taste a few different brews. It was a great time! Our teacher was super knowledgeable and I appreciated her taking the time to answer all my questions. They even gave us a full bag of beans as a souvenir. Great value for the class!

Whoa, where is this place? That's what I was thinking as I was driving down a residential road and…read moremy GPS told me I was at Steelyard Coffee Co., but all I saw were houses. It turns out that, indeed, this coffee shop is nestled in a neighborhood. But if you look closely for a rusted-looking building that looks completely abandoned, then you will find Steelyard Coffee. It's hidden in plain sight. Once I got inside, I was delighted to see a warm and welcoming space, with a full coffee menu and other beverages, like tea and smoothies. I just wanted a little cup of green tea, so that's what I got, in a to-go cup. It was ready lickety-split. Steelyard has a few things to eat, like some cookies and muffins, as well as pans of baked oatmeal, parfaits, breakfast burritos, quiche and other breakfasty things. There are plenty of places to sit, and the decor is very farmhouse and rustic. It seems like a nice place to sit and work remotely or visit with a friend, but also a place where you can hit it and quit it like I did.

April's coffee date took us up to northern Indiana while we were in town for a Luke Combs concert…read more This month, we checked out SteelYard Coffee Co.--and I'd definitely call it a hidden gem. It's tucked inside an older industrial-style building and shares space with a couple of antique-type shops, so it's not somewhere you'd likely just stumble upon. The coffee was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. My wife ordered an iced "Reese in a Cup" and loved it. I went with a hot Cuban Kiss--a mix of cinnamon, vanilla, and white chocolate. It was good, but I'd probably try something different next time. Pricing was very reasonable compared to a lot of coffee spots these days. We also split a cinnamon roll that tasted homemade and was delicious. Overall, a great hidden gem and worth the stop.
