Such a cute cafe! Delicious food and coffee with an adorably decorated interior. My family and I visited Issa Vibe on the way through to Union Pier. When entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted by staff and were advised to grab a menu from the nearby wall. Orders are placed at the counter, food and coffee. They also provide an estimate on wait-time for coffee and food based on level of orders currently placed. We were given a buzzer and advised that our name would be called for both coffee and food. The bourbon vanilla Madagascar latte was delicious, I loved that the coffee flavor was not overpowered by homemade coffee syrup. The paninis were delicious and very filling! They come with a side salad or kettle chips. read more

Issa Vibe Cafe brings a bright, modern energy to New Buffalo's coffee scene, with lush greenery and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the pesto egg panini alongside a pistachio iced latte. The panini was the standout--fresh bread, flavorful pesto, ripe tomatoes, and a well-balanced combination of flavors. The pistachio latte, however, could use a little refinement. I'd love to see pistachio cream incorporated instead of a liquid syrup, which could give the drink more body, richness, and a more pronounced pistachio flavor. Overall, a great café experience with plenty of personality and a menu worth exploring. read more

Issa Vibe Cafe - Pesto & Egg Panini - Salad Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Highly recommend to get here early because after 9:30 am it gets really packed on the weekends. We waited in line for about 15 minutes to place our order. I looked around and noticed that we have to pick up our plate and drop off our plate and there's a section on the back right side of the restaurant where you have to take your dirty plate after you're done. Anthony was the one taking everyone's order. I'm the only one taking everyone's order in the front. It's best to find a table once you're there and then get in line to order The food was OK. I wish my chorizo Panini had more chorizo and that my gluten-free bread wasn't to burn or maybe because it was gluten-free. It looked a little burnt. I did enjoy the Uber cold drink a lot read more

The sandwiches were fantastic and the coffee were very creative and yummy. My friend has a dairy, gluten, and soy allergy. They are very allergy accommodating. She said the bread was as good as she had been hoping. The gluten sandwich was also out of the park. The vibe of the place is so very relaxed and someplace you would like to hang out. read more

Lovvvvvve everything about Issa Vibe Café! We're visiting from Chicago, and I'm genuinely sad I can't make this my regular spot for a daily chai latte. The girls ordered a Vanilla Matcha and a Birthday Cake Latte, and both were delicious. We also shared three paninis, and every single one was divine! I especially loved that they accommodated my dairy-free and pork-free request. I ordered the Pesto & Egg Panini with chicken, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly savory. The atmosphere, drinks, food, and customer service were all top-notch. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! 10/10--worth the drive from Chicago! read more

LOVE this place. Lucky for us this was around the corner of our Airbnb. We came here twice during our visit. They have unique drinks which were so good! I got the blueberry one and I still to this day think about it. They make all their syrups in house. Also really good paninis! We got the Gouda one and the cheese was so melty and delicious. You order up at the front and they call your name for you to come get the order. It is a very chill place and truly is a vibe. read more

Tried this place this morning. Despite it being a summer weekend it wasn't too busy. The breakfast panini was ok, but nowhere near worth an hour wait. read more

Issa Vibe Cafe - Not so busy. An hour for a panini? Not remotely worth it - Salad Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

We arrived on a Saturday morning, it was packed and had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. The service was exceptional though. The cashier was explaining to everyone in line that they were busy and then following up and checking in with others. We ordered the chorizo panini and a peach tea to share. The panini had tons of flavor and was piping hot when it came out. Definitely recommend. Although the restaurant was crowded and busy, it was very cute instead and we were able to get a seat for our group of 6. read more

Issa Vibe has fantastic atmosphere that welcomes you the moment you walk in. It's kind of tropical, with little nooks for seating. They offer parties, coffee and a variety of lunch options. We had sandwiches that were delicious! Service was a little awkward but nothing that would prevent me from returning. The double parking lot was a bonus. read more

Such a cute café, incredible staff, and delicious food. It was a perfect space to work in comfort. Highly recommend!

Loved everything about this cozy cafe! Great coffee and food, wonderful conversation with Jeremy, the owner. Totally recommend!

Issa vibe indeed. If you care about aesthetics/the instagram-ability of a place, this place gets top marks. I loved all the plants and array of seating options. If you care about fun drinks, then this is as good as it gets in New Buffalo. I loved the variety of options, and I really loved my seasonal "chaider" that was generous with the cinnamon. I'm knocking off a star for food. I split a vegan tex-mex panini, and it was hard to eat with the black bean salsa spilling out with each bite...and was that a proper salsa, or just black beans and corn thrown onto the panini? Also, the limited side options are just "bleh" with just chips and a side salad. I will 100% return for vibes and bevies, but I'll save my appetite for elsewhere. read more

I think it's basically summed up all in the name. This is a really cute place to grab a bite to eat. You really get the fun, beach town vibes from the aesthetic. They've done an amazing job creating a beautiful space to have lunch. The drinks are fun, think coffee iced teas and lemonades. We ordered a sandwich with a side salad which was ample to share. If you like places like Panera (think salads, paninis) you will love this. The panini was ample size to share and super loaded up!!! The side salad was fresh and very tasty. Definitely check out if you are visiting!!! read more

ISSA GOOD COFFEE! Issa Vibe is a super cute brunch and coffee spot located two blocks off the main road in New Buffalo. And when I say "Good Coffee" I mean "GOOOOOODD coffee. Like this is not your boring Starbucks cup of Joe. This is artisan crafted coffee. I went several time during our stay and everything I tried was great! The shop is SUPER cute and modern with very hipster, boho, flowery, garden vibes. The food was also pretty good - it's normal coffee shop fare like pastries, salads and paninis. My one and only complaint was that service could have been better. Maybe it was the summertime rush/crowds but the baristas and counter staff always seemed short and several times I waited for a while before even being acknowledged. Better service would make this a 5-STAR establishment for sure! Stop in and enjoy the best coffee in New Buffalo! read more

Had a Saturday morning coffee and breakfast sandwich at Issa Vibe and was sooo good. I had a Blueberry Latte (house made syrup with Michigan blueberries and not too sweet) and I split a Pesto & Egg Panini with my cousin. We also took some muffins to go (GF Lemon Blueberry, Raspberry and Pistachio) and all were just as delicious. Jeremy the owner was extremely friendly and Issa Vibe definitely lives up to its name. read more

Fantastic breakfast paninis and coffee. Little on the expensive side but in a touristy town you kinda expect that. Parking isn't great during the busy season but man that chorizo and egg panini is to die for. Pistachio latte and drip coffee both 5/5 stars. Favorite coffee spot in New Buffalo area. read more

I really like the vegetable soup here, nice atmosphere. I also ordered a caprese salad. It was fine but I thought it was odd that it came with what tasted like ranch dressing along with the pesto and a small amount of thick balsamic glaze. I am not a panini person but I would come back for some other stuff. I did not like having to pay over the phone when placing a takeout order though. I would rather do online ordering and not have to talk to anyone if they are really worried about it. read more

This is the best place ever!! Great gluten free and dairy free options. I was visiting New Buffalo and came here both days for my meals because I knew it would be safe for my food allergies. The vegan Italian panini with gluten free bread blew my mind, the salad was so fresh and delicious, and I was so pleasantly surprised to find vegan and gluten free muffins at the counter! Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and willing to answer any questions. The seating area had such a fun bohemian vibe. I loved everything about this place and hope to see more restaurants like this!! 12/10 highly recommend! read more

Wow! An amazing vacation find. Our group went once for lunch and again for breakfast. The teas and coffees were perfect. The food is flavorful and fresh.

Issa Vibe Cafe - Breakfast! - Salad Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

When you walk into the cafe, you immediately feel its welcoming energy. They have helpful signs/instructions for first timers like us, and I appreciate that they tell you the wait time upfront to manage expectations. It is casual dining, but it's NOT fast! So be aware. My husband and I each got a salad, which were large portions so you likely score some leftovers. The ingredients are fresh and dressings are delicious, especially the balsamic. I got a lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. This was the perfect precursor to our beach excursion, as we didn't want to have heavy food sitting in our bellies. Will definitely return the next time we visit the area! read more

Issa Vibe lives up to their name! The interior is totally chill, with a warm spacious decor featuring both traditional tables as well as comfy couches and even a sun room. The service was super friendly and helpful with menu questions from these first-timers. And the food was absolutely delicious!!! The food menu is not huge and I wish they had some fresh juices on the drink menu, but that's a minor gripe. They have some awesome looking coffee drinks but we had already had coffee prior to our arrival but we won't make that mistake again, as everything being crafted by the barista looked amazing. They do need a more prominent sign on the exterior, at least something facing west, as we totally passed the place on arrival when driving up 12 from the east. Really loving this place and will be back soon! read more

So so adorable! If I lived nearby I would be a frequent customer. Coffee was good, their sandwiches were delicious, the chocolate muffin was rich and satisfying. The decor was so warm and inviting and so were the people. There's an area with egg chairs and a bench. Then there's an enclosed patio space that could be a quiet reading room. We'll done, owners!

Went in a few weeks ago and HOW CUTE!! The decor is absolutely to die for and the menu is pretty big. The guy working the counter was great but it was odd to me that you pick up the menus at the door and then just walk up to the line but I'm sure it's efficient when it's busy! I ordered a blueberry latte with dark mocha and it came out with white mocha after the guy specifically asked which. read more

We got the lavender latte and lavender Matcha latte and they were really good. We loved the environment and friendly service.

I was with a group of (7) who stopped by Issa Vibe Cafe on a Saturday morning. The inside is extremely cute with fun patterns, bright colors, plants everywhere, and tons of seating. Walking in the line was long but staff hustled to keep things moving! After ordering, drinks took about 5-8 minutes and food about 15 minutes. The staff did graciously tell us upon ordering that food was going to take a little longer. Our group got a variety of coffees and teas. I got the Rose and Honey Latte which was delicious! I tried a few others as well as some bites of food and loved everything! Our group talked about how good everything was the rest of the weekend!
