    Nice little coffee shop located in downtown Manitowoc. Has all the drinks you would expect to see in a Barista operation like this at a reasonable price. Good saftey protocols being followed relative to Covid with good separation between the tables. Overall a great choice to enjoy your morning Java in a safe environment. Two thumbs up.

    Pleasant coffee shop with good coffees and lots of natural light in an expansive space. Bakery goods are quite tasty. Ideal location for sipping in solitude, enjoying a coffee with friends, are sipping while getting some work done. Also an enjoyable place for meetings. Moderate prices, but they do charge a credit card swipe fee (including on Apple Pay).

    This local coffee shop has fresh baked pastries, muffins and cookies. There is a wide variety of teas and coffee beans. Jenn's had delicious cakes for all occasions. This is a perfect place to have a latte while playing a board game with friends, reading a book in a cozy corner or meet with a client. After your coffee and snack you can walk over to the little gift shop area stocked with handmade items; you're bound to find some unique item for you or someone special.

    Groovy cafe/bakery/restaurant/gift shop near downtown Manitowoc. Best parts, IMHO, are the coffee and the pastries which Jen herself makes on site. Lots of seating, mellow music, free wifi... I'm a regular.

    Large Latte, Small Hot Chocolate

    We went on a Wednesday morning on our way out of the area. It wasn't busy at all; there were a few people seated already and enjoying their drinks, but there was no line. I ordered a large plain latte, and my friend got a small hot chocolate (both to-go). Both were really good, although they were definitely steamed on the hotter side. The girl that took our order was friendly, but she was a bit soft spoken. We struggled to hear her, but I understand that could be for a number of reasons. My only real issue is that there didn't seem to be a menu posted anywhere. We understood that they would have any "typical" coffee shop drink, so ordering wasn't too much of an issue for us, despite this. The building itself was really cute. They have lots of things for sale, such as baked goods and T-shirts. If I ever find myself in Manitowoc again I'd definitely stop in again and stay for a while!

    Stuffed green pepper soup

    Its always a treat coming here. I typically get something new every time i go and haven't been dissapointed. Wonderful cheesecake and other baked goods. I skipped dinner tonight so i got to try the stuffed green pepper soup. Great taste and huge portion! Great time to catch up with friends and use wifi!

    Peeps coffee. Yummy and fun

    Not the greatest...not the worst. Barista was kind of out of it and distant. Definitely better coffee places in Manty.

    My family and I stopped here on our trip home from the UP to Chicago. It's a bit off the highway,…read morebut we were so glad we stopped by. This coffee shop was amazing. The address is a bit misleading, because you enter the coffee shop from 19th St, but it's accessible from 18th, just not as easily. I almost didn't even go in because the building is so nondescript, it didn't seem like there'd be a beautiful coffee shop inside. The beverage menu was extensive, and the coffee/food we got were absolutely delicious. Everyone on the staff there was super helpful and so nice. They were so accommodating to me and my family. The lobby area was beautiful and comfortable. They had comfy leather chairs, plenty of table space, and even a couple of long high top tables with wireless chargers and charging cables available for almost any device you need. I also really enjoyed the tree inside. We will be stopping by here again, for sure, it was worth every minute off track.

    I had a great experience at this shop. I ordered a honey lavender latte-so good! I highly recommend…read moreit. I also ordered a muffin that was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and friendly, I love the tree, and the variety of seating options were perfect. Once they add signage on the 19th St. entrance door it will be easier to know where to go. I read Yelp reviews so I knew which door to use, but the people I was meeting struggled more to find where to go.

    Ambience and Experience: This little coffee shop is located in what used to be an old auto mechanic…read moreshop. They have done a great job of flipping the space. Retro wallpaper and vibe give this place unique and quirky charm while the two glass garage doors open up to provide for an decently sized (and relaxingly breezy) space. Employees were super friendly and chatty (in a good way), they shared some insights and tips about exploring the town while I waited for my coffee. Super helpful and welcoming while also being down to Earth. Drinks: We mostly came here for coffee and to chill for a bit. They offered coffee flights here so my wife was sold to stop and try them. We like flights because you get to sample more of the menu without committing to just one thing. After the flights, I did also try a separate flavored latte off of the menu has well. The lattes were not too sweet and the flavor profiles fit the espresso base without overpowering the coffee flavors. My favorite out of all of them were the Huckleberry Latte and the Black Sesame Foam Latte (The Goth I think is what they called it). Fun little shop to stop and grab a drink and bite to eat. Bonus - they are only 1/2 mile away from Lake Michigan and a local park. Park and grab a drink to go and explore the beach!
