I've stopped at the shop and I've also purchased at Michigan Made in Manistique. I purchased hazelnut this last time and it was fabulous as well. I love Cherry UP so much, I have to have an extra bag in my freezer at all times. Give this roaster a try. I know you will go back for more. I wish a shop here in Appleton served this coffee.

I was happy to see that my small hometown had a new cool place to get special coffee that you can make at home. I am a huge coffee fan and order beans from a roaster in Lansing. We sampled the coffee the next morning and it was pretty good. However, I like stronger coffee than my mom and stepdad so I think if I had made it, it would have been better. I love that they have a variety of flavored coffees and nuts as well.

Great place. Quick service and they have heavy cream. She also asked how much cream we would like.read more

I loved this little coffee shop so much that we visited twice in three days while staying at our…read morefriends' cabin near Manistique. The menu is pretty large, with lots of options for coffee and non-coffee drinkers. The first visit I got a medium iced latte with English toffee syrup. They told me that the medium lattes have two shots of espresso and asked if that was okay - appreciated that check in (and it was definitely okay!). The latte was good, I was hoping for a bit stronger espresso flavor, but it did the trick. Nate got the Yooper latte, which was a s'mores flavored drink that was sweet and delicious. On our next visit, I got an iced coffee with vanilla cold foam, which was so tasty! Nate got a cappuccino that was nicely balanced. The employees we interacted with (younger, students?) were all SUPER polite and friendly. Great customer service! The shop is cute and rustic and they have items for sale like mugs, shirts, stickers, cards, etc. I'll be back!

We love our small town coffee shops and we're hopeful when we stepped into The Grind Coffee House…read more First impressions are important and, unfortunately, this little coffeeshop was less than impressive. It was busy with very little order or space to serve customers well. The 3-person staff were hustling to work the counter and the drive thru but it all looked and felt chaotic on an August Friday around 11:15 am. The casual vibe was overshadowed by a general lack of organization and intention in appearance. For a small space, there was too much clutter. The photos here display the best features: good detail on drinks to order, hardworking staff behind the counter, and a lovely, positive thought. Cleanliness also left something to be desired. Looks like a good deep clean is in order. We ordered two mochas as we have been traveling the UP this past week and stopping in a new local coffeeshop daily in search of the best mocha. We were disappointed by these mochas: warm but not hot, thin and runny, way too sweet. Even the small decaf brewed coffee was meh. Our standards are high and most other small town coffee shops in the UP have exceeded them. The hardworking staff were the best part of this experience and deserve a shout out. The place is busy (little competition in the area) and apparently not well-run.

Friendly and warm staff. Nice for a change today…read more It's loud and busy in here. Their baked goods look pretty yummy. Ordered the peanut butter cup, cold brew, chocolate and peanut butter added to it and a fruit cup. $15.98 Their mango smoothie has pineapple and banana in it as well as the mango. The fruit is not smooth, tastes like frozen fruit. It's a bit clumped up, it doesn't taste bad. Will give you brain freeze, it's so cold. The PB cold brew is okay. Not a ton of prominent PB or chocolate. The fruit cup is good.

On our road trip around the Great Lakes from Philly, we made a stop at this incredible spot -- and…read moredon't ask me to pronounce the name! Located inside Palms Book State Park, this natural spring was one of the most unique and beautiful places we visited. The water is crystal clear all the way to the bottom, and you can easily see fish swimming below. You hop onto a self-operated raft that you pull across the water to the middle of the spring, where there's an opening in the center to look straight down. It gives you a perfect view of the vibrant underwater world -- it's honestly mesmerizing. It's a quick stop, but totally worth it. And the best part? It's dog-friendly! Definitely add this to your list if you're exploring the Upper Peninsula.

This is such a unique place. I'm so glad we stopped. We were on a road trip from Mackinaw City to…read moreMilwaukee and wanted to break up the trip a bit so we saw this diversion and decided to check it out. Clear blue water, bubbling sand, never ending springs, a tow boat, and lots of trout are the wonders to see. Everyone gets on the boat and someone (well a few people over the course of the trip) step up to the wheel to tow the boat across the water. The water is mesmerizing. I couldn't take my eyes off the water. Many people can fit on the boat so the wait is not too long. A day pass is $11. Definitely make this stop if you are in the area.
