When we're not "up north", I have been ordering directly from the Dark Water website. A couple of my favorites have been Stargazer and Seven Sisters, but recently ordered the current Shooting Star offering which features micro-lots that Tony and Lauren have come accross. The current offering is Hondouras-Finca la Esmeralda and is AMAZING! my new all-time favorite, and I am ordering a couple more bags while it is available. There's no better coffee than what you can find with local roasters who love what they do, and know how to do it. Thanks for making my morning coffee something special!

I was on my way home to Indianapolis from Traverse City and wanted some good coffee. When I…read moresearched coffee this place popped up and I was intrigued. I walked in I was greeted with a friendly smile (I think by the owner), and told some things about the menu/flavors. I love a good local coffee shop that cares about the quality of their beans and roasts and this is exactly what I got. I wanted a hot coffee for the morning and a cold brew for a later pick me up for the drive. The owner said the Tanzanian bean was her favorite and I went for it. I have to say it tasted soooo good! So many great notes and flavors. When I ordered my cold brew she asked "do you like it strong?" And I really do. All of this to say... I had a fantastic experience from the time I walked in the shop to the last sip of cold brew. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice, but the coffee was immaculate. Honestly, when I'm near Owl Eye again on my way to Beulah in the summer I will be stopping with my family. And if they have beans for sale I will be buying some bags! If you like GREAT coffee, supporting local, look no further. Get some good coffee!

I live for fun specialty matcha and while they did have one on the menu, the pine flavors weren't appealing to me. Surprisingly, the real star of the show was the bagel. Not the avocado spread that was on it, that just tasted like that overly acidic stuff you get in the little cups, but the bagel itself was amazing. It was chewy but not tough to chew. I loved its soft doughy texture. They also had some vegan treats available that i'd love to try next time. The matcha was good but not my top pick in GR but that bagel would definitely bring me back.
