The coffee shop has a cute and cozy interior with a decent amount of seating. The staff were friendly and efficient. I ordered an iced caramel latte with oat milk and it was made within minutes. It was full of flavor and the coffee was excellent. If you're looking for some good coffee in Traverse City, this is a great spot!

Filled it up while I waited. I didn't realize it initially but i was charged a dollar for an empty cup by the owner and my goodness did she give a dirty look while she was doing it. I had no idea why but once i walked out and saw the receipt it made more sense. That is unacceptable especially when I had already spent 13$ on two cups of super average coffee. Coffee review - ok coffee. I wasn't sure why there is such a huge line there. Both Mundos and Espresso bay are much better. Don't waste your time waiting in line for mediocre coffee. I wanted to support this local place but there are better options. I'll stick to Mundos.

Traveling in Traverse City for the Fourth of July weekend. After a visit to Torch Lake, we'd seen…read morepositive reviews for The Dam Shop. It was busy but we got a seat inside. We ordered a variety of food and were willing to wait the estimated 45 minutes for a pizza. It's an odd arrangement. A food truck built into the building on the back and a pizza kitchen in the front. There's pagers for the food truck stuff and text messages for the pizza. I got the Elks Rapid Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich double dipped Tim's way. It was an oily mess with no flavor. And definitely no heat. There was also a burger and some tacos and chips and salsa. No one cared for the verde salsa, but my wife liked the tacos themselves. The pepperoni pizza finally came, probably a bit later than hoped for. It was also nothing to get excited about. No real flavor. Drinks mostly come from the refrigerators or the bar at the back which was very busy. Sadly, The Dam Shop wasn't damn good, indeed it wasn't great at all. 2.6 stars rounds to 3.

The Friday morning visit was five stars. We walked in and must have hit it at just the right time as there was no line. My husband and I ordered the lavender chai latte off the Spring time special menu. I ordered mine with oat milk and his with regular and asked them to make both of them dirty. We were both super happy with this selection. We didn't have to wait very long even though there was only one person working that day. The next morning, there was a long line and two people working... and the specialty menu was no longer available. Even so, they did let my husband order the lavender chai latte again. I went with a flat white with oat milk and light lavender. We waited quite awhile and noticed others around us did as well. It was fine since we were not in a rush, but not the best experience. Clearly the staff were stressed with the rush of people and so many orders to fill. The coffees were once again delicious. There is a limited food menu and a small retail area, as well as indoor and outdoor seating. There isn't any other gourmet coffee in the area to my knowledge, so if you are wanting a fancy coffee, this may be your only option. If you hit it right, you will have an incredible experience, but if there is a line during a busy time, be prepared for a bit of a wait. Either way, enjoy your time at Walloon Lake - it's magical!
