    Lakeshore Mocha
    Martha V.

    Cool vibe and VERY busy. The coffee we ordered tasted delicious and was extremely well made. It makes sense that North Perk Coffee is so well ranked. We ordered Lakeshore Mocha and Vanilla Oatmilk Espresso. I took pics AFTER we started drinking them!!!

    Everytime we visit Petoskey, this is our coffee stop! And it never fails us, ALWAYS on point, always delicious, everyone is friendly and gives recommendations when I asked them. I've always tried one of their specialty seasonal coffees and I've always loved them. This time we came here right at opening and it was so chill and cozy to sip our coffee int he corner on the leather couches. I would like to have had some nice relaxing music in the background :) either was well be back

    Chocolate croissant
    Rachel B.

    Lovely coffee shop in Petoskey- I liked it so much I had to go twice in my 3-day stay! Has lots of seating and is very clean. Also has a nice bathroom. Had a cappuccino, cinnamon roll from Tillie's Tafel, a caramel macchiato, and a chocolate croissant. Cappuccino with oat milk- very smooth and mellow, not bitter or burnt at all! Nice foam as well. Caramel macchiato- I've been craving a proper caramel macchiato and they nailed it! Not too sweet, lovely foam even with oat milk, and so delicious! Chocolate croissant- nice and flakey on the top part and a little chewy on the bottom half- very good. Cinnamon roll- nice ratio of icing and dough, plenty of cinnamon too, most cinnamon rolls I have are lacking but this was perfect. Very nice baristas and staff. I would come here again!

    A little shop in downtown Petoskey with friendly baristas that serves all kinds of coffees and teas and limited pastries - there were only 2 left in the case when we arrived a bit after noon. While my spouse enjoyed a warm latte, I chose a cold mocha frappe. I appreciated the rich flavor of the coffee and chocolate; however, with rather large chunks of ice inside the drink, it became nearly impossible to sip it through a straw. I asked for a spoon to remove some of the ice so I could finish my frappe.

    Great full service cafe. A relaxed environment where laptops and conversations thrive. I had the dark chocolate latte which was delicious. My wife had a chocolate frappe which was equally delicious. Baristas are friendly and coffee is reasonably priced. If you want a bakery item with your coffee, best be here before noon. There were only two bakery items remaining at 12:45 pm.

    6/24-menu. I see they've removed the prices compared to the last menu. Ut-oh

    Cozy little coffee stop in old Petoskey. Relaxing atmosphere that's very popular with the locals and visitors, alike. It's busy every day, especially weekends. We landed during a nice Saturday afternoon lull. Enjoyed a calm soothing Tea and a cold brew. Plenty of tables and the noise level was perfect. Prices are no longer listed on the menus. My guess is they ran out of room. We're also in unpredictable times and it's probably a major task to pull those down and update them. Speaking of price, they do run high, but I suspect it could be higher, so we need to cope and enjoy the simple pleasures. It's a fun, cheerful staff that serves a very good brew. Already we've justified the cost. The room is, well, cute. Not spacious but not a problem. A wonderful place to take a small break from all that walking! 06/24

    Perfect Time For Coffee
    Charlie E.

    I'm a big fan of this place. They care and it shows... Forget chain coffee shops, they are cookie cutter, and no character. Support independent businesses...

    Coffee and cozy seats.

    Friendly and welcoming staff. Chai tea latte was DELICIOUS. Dog friendly atmosphere! We loved this place!

    Casual modern interior, ample seating and relaxing music.

    Cool.... Literally and energetically. On a hot summer afternoon, North Perk Coffee is the perfect choice: a fun place to cool down, have a delicious and beautiful coffee drink or smoothie, enjoy a peaceful moment or the company of a companion. A small but delicious-looking assortment of baked goods were in the display case. There is enough seating to not feel crowded or rushed. Staff are friendly and efficient. Not nearly the wait of other downtown cafes. Glad we found this gem.

    Samoa iced coffee

    Located downtown within walking distance of the shopping in the historic district, north perk has chill vibes and great coffee. Staff is personable, and gives recommendations if you're having trouble choosing. Great place to meet up with friends as well.

    Blueberry matcha
    Samantha C.

    The best coffee shop in Petoskey. The espresso and matcha are both great -- the Irish Cream latte was amazing and steamed really well. I tried the blueberry vanilla matcha and also lavender vanilla, both were lovely! They also have pastries and some gluten free snacks, which is a huge bonus! North Perk has the best atmosphere around, we love to sit and stay awhile whenever we're in town. Love the staff, love the space, love the drinks!

    Iced berry flavor coffee and hot latte

    Food- the iced specialty berry coffee was awful. It was a sugar concoction. The latte was not hot and had a funky milk flavor. Service- baristas with an attitude Ambiance- modern coffee shop This has to be one of the worst cups of coffee I have had in northern Michigan. If you don't like your drink they will not allow you to try something else in place of your nasty drink. Would NOT recommend this place! Not a single person liked their coffee that was traveling with us.

    Vanilla soy latte
    Christine C.

    Fantastic store fantastic service! We walked in and my son had to wash his hands from the ice cream he just had. But I went to order and I was greeted by a very friendly barista. They had multiple alternative dairy options and this made me quiet happy. I ordered a small soy latte with one pump of vanilla and It is DELICIOUS! They also had so many flavors to choose from. The menu was way to read and the flavors were also written on a smaller board. I had forgotten to order It decaf and when I let the barista know they said no problem and made It accordingly. I thought that was kind that they didn't make It difficult. The wait was short and the bathrooms were super clean. The entire store felt airy and spacious and welcoming. I would definitely buy their coffee. I wish I had gotten an americano to really taste the beans. Highly recommend! Also street parking was easy and there is open seating and benches outside. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! .

Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.

    THE. MOST. DELICIOUS. PASTRIES. EVER…read more On our roadtrip, we stopped at the Crooked Tree looking for a local coffee shop. What greeted us was the most delightful case of pastries and loaves of breads. This is a bakery with no seating. Looks to be a large operation that might deliver breads and baked goods locally. There is a bread case, a pastry case, and lots of merch. A very patient young lady was working the counter on the morning we stopped. It took me a while to decide because I wanted one of everything, but had no business doing that! She patiently and quietly waited. Finally, I settled on a ham and cheese croissant and a cherry and white chocolate scone. My husband had a raspberry danish. I did get a drip coffee in the end. The ham and cheese croissant was crisp and flaky with the perfect balance of hame and gruyere. I have not had a scone this good. Ever. Not even in Ireland! If you "do not like scones," these are worth the try! We snacked on the pastries in the car so along with Lake Michigan sand, my car now has lots of flakes of our delicious pastries. Like sand, it's impossible not to leave remnants of the goodness behind. Tip: if you are not local, buy more than you need!! I wish I had.
