I really like their breakfast sandwiches, in particular. The ham and cheese croissant is delicious, and isn't so huge that I feel like I'm enormous after eating one. The employees are very friendly and will get your order to you as quickly as they can. This spot gets pretty busy in the morning, so I wouldn't recommend stopping in during rush hour if you're late for a meeting and don't have more than 5 minutes to spare.

My interaction was via the drive through. I waited patiently in a long line. Once I reached the…read morefirst window, it was vacant. I sat and waited but no one came. So I proceeded to pull forward to the second window. The young lady asked if I placed an order. I explained that I waited, but couldn't, because no one was at the first window to take my order. She stated that she couldn't take my order and instructed me to pull forward, and get back in that long line again to order at the first window. Despite pointing out how punitive this request was, she would not budge and correct their erroneous action. Needless to say I left with nothing and took my business to another establishment.

If you walk to the left upon entering, you can grab takeout. If you walk to the right, you order to eat-in. And there's a lot of seating. For the first visit, we ordered takeout and it was still so good and fresh when we got it back to our cottage. The next visit we ate in. Again, super fresh and delicious. I ordered a pancake with blueberry compote and was happy to see they used wild blueberries in their compote. I also ordered a coffee milkshake to get my caffeine fix and that was a nice, light, dessert for breakfast kind of treat.

Definitely a cute little gem worth stopping by for breakfast. I'd happily come back!

Kyle was very friendly, informative, and obviously loves what he does. He wanted to know my name so next time I come he could greet me by name. The coffee shop has indoor seating with multiple tables. Several people were in there working. They have a deck overlooking the river. We took our drinks down to the public park and enjoyed them along the river. I had the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte which was absolutely delicious. Traverse makes their own pumpkin spice mix for the drink. I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin spice drinks but this was fantastic and I will definitely come back for another. My friend had the Apple Chaider which she also enjoyed. Traverse's other seasonal option is a Maple Cinnamon Latte. Considering how much we enjoyed the first two I would expect the maple cinnamon to be just as good.

Also, it's near Granite City Park, with its long row of colorful Adirondack chairs. That makes it a great place to drink Traverse Coffee with friends, or to drink coffee by yourself while you read or just gaze at the river flow. In addition, they seem to have a uniquely friendly and knowledgeable group of workers. I ordered a black cold brew. It was made with a Cat & Cloud roasted blend called The Answer. Cat & Cloud is off my radar, but some quick internet research suggests that they are based in Santa Cruz, CA. They have a 4.5 Yelp Star rating. The Answer blends Ethiopian, Colombian and Brazilian. It was balanced and pretty good. I didn't pick up any flavor notes in particular, which may have to with the fact that it was cold brewed rather than hot brewed and then chilled. I prefer more acidity and fruit notes. Four Stars.

Nice place to hang out, too, with indoor and outdoor seating. We got the Ethiopian Sidamo in a pour-over ($3) and an Aeropress ($3) and both were fantastic. Other options are cold brew, hot and iced teas, Chai, hot chocolate or iced mocha, as well as pastries by local bakeries Tinder Hearth, Terri Rippeto, and Milkweed + Monarch. I was pleasantly surprised and amazed at the level of the coffee program here. I've lived in Brooklyn and Chicago so am used to pretty good coffee--this place is just as good as any I've had in those cities.

It's in an old bank building on a darling street that you need to stroll down.

We ordered a cinnamon roll (possibly the BEST we have ever had!) and an apple cream cheese danish (FILLED with creamy cheese and apple slices!). We also got a loaf of olive sourdough bread that we had with dinner. So good. Truly wish we had bought more!! The black coffee was smooth and the Mocha Latte was like drinking melted chocolate (perhaps a bit too much for me). Absolutely recommend a stop here even if it's out of your way.

We waited at the food counter but no one paid attention. They were talking and laughing with each other, oblivious. The woman from the register had to come over and take our order. We finished shopping and waited for our sandwiches. 30+ minutes, standing there. The only ones. They're still yammering away. In between all of this, the register lady is running back and forth from their area to hers while they weren't worried about anything. This place is set up to be a real money maker. The food was good once we got it. The location is great. But it's a completely inefficient operation. Hire someone to man the food counter and get the kitchen help to focus instead of socializing- what a difference it would make!

After my visit I am just wondering what this is all about. Maybe just the drinks honestly. I don't know really and after my experience I am not sure I even want to go back. I stopped here to get some bagels to have for breakfast the next day. The bagels are not homemade, they are from NY which is not a problem. I was perfectly fine with that. The cream cheeses are on the homemade side. They tasted great honestly the ones we had. Where things went south for us is the male at the register taking my order. He basically told me I would be better off going to the Hannaford grocery in town for bagels and cream cheese, as I was placing my order. That kind of rubbed me the wrong way. As I am trying to give business to the locals. To imply for me go elsewhere was odd. When I was there there was not a long line or anything. So it was not like I was holding anyone up. I felt like maybe they did not want to scoop the cream cheeses into a cup. I do not know. But, it just left a bad feeling all together. From that point on I did not order any drinks or other food. I was just honestly done.
