The quiche interior was warm eggy and pudding like, savory and seasoned perfectly, the crust was homemade and delectable. The dense delicious carrot cake muffin was topped with sweet creamy homemade frosting, Chef's kiss. It was perfectly paired with a "Deadman's Expresso," the name is a nod to a local state park in the Jordan River Valley. The bold expresso paired well with the carrot cake. I left the shop with a "Green Lantern" Matcha Tea, honey & foam milk creation that was memorable and satisfying. I give this cafe my highest endorsement

On my northern voyage I rested for a bit from being a busy bee at The Hive, and it's clear that…read morethis is THE PLACE TO BEE for coffee in Suttons Bay! The cheerful staff absolutely crushes order after order, there may bee a wait but it's worth it. My latte was sweet and served up with that artistic flourish (my pic doesn't do it justice). It's a delightfully quaint spot, tucked away in the downtown. The Hive-theme is charming and sweet (like honey). The whole experience made me feel like I was an absolute queen bee.

The coffee is... well, it's coffee. 40 minutes to get a latte? That's a first. The service is sooo…read moreslow and disorganized. They lose so much business by people in line giving up.

This reminds me of when I was in India.

Cute spot. I was a bit put off initially by the strong aroma of hot sauce when I walked in but…read moreafter looking at the menu I wanted to try the crepes. Apparently they are known for a certain hot sauce they sell out of their shop. I ordered a vegetarian crepe with egg, spinach, and subbed in their favorite ricocheted cheese fora $2.99 upcharge because they said it's a strong one and i love strong cheeses! This did not disappoint! I would have gone with a regular crepe though knowing it was a wheat/grainy wrap. I love the cheese. All went together great! I would have enjoyed a small drop of syrup on the side but they charged for that too so I skipped that. I also ordered the man iced decaf cafe mocha, light on milk and sweetener. I added marshmallows. The drink wasn't as strong as I'd hoped but Ava was kind enough to add a decaf shot and that definitely helped but still heavily milky drink. Ava's service was warm and helpful! There were a lot of boxes near the counter and on some booth seating that detracted a bit from ambiance.

Skegmog - maple caramel coffee, not overly sweet. It was nice!…read more Mocha, half sweet - I prefer a less sweet drink and usually order them half sweet, but I could have gotten this full sweet and enjoyed it just fine. So know that their drinks are a light balanced sweetness and not sugar bombs. I love that in a coffee shop. Flying Squirrel - tastes like cherry somehow? I was surprised to like this but I would actually order it again, especially on a hot summer day. Refreshing! The guy inside was very helpful and knowledgeable. We came right before close and he was gracious about both explaining the menu and making our drinks. The patio area is a delight. They have just added lots of really nice seating and it's a great place to chill.

The menu had plenty of options and now that I have gone by a couple times, I can say that all are equally delicious. The general ambience was excellent, even having a nearby sauna that you can book online. The smoothies are tasty and the coffee is unique! The wait was short and the owner is very kind and personable. I highly recommend checking this spot out if you're nearby!!

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.

It's worth your salt to visit Cuppa Joe Westside. It's the kind of coffee shop every neighborhood…read morewishes it had, but few do. Like every decent eatin' place in town, its about more than the food and drink. It's the experience. The coffee is rich and smooth. That's as opposed to the shops whose coffee is so brewed-for-the-masses, it tastes like they put a brown crayon in a cup of hot water. The scones are far and away the best in town. And the staff is down-to-earth amiable. Try this classic combo if you dare: a sixteen-ounce shot-in-the-dark with no space, and an Almond Joy scone. If you need less octane, have a regular coffee. If you don't care for coconut, try a blueberry scone. Or have a day-old scone. They're flavorful, only slightly drier than a fresh scone, and cost less. That's appealing if you're so cheap that you'd steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes.
