    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Iced chai tea latte
    Alexandra W.

    Whenever we are in the area, we always stop here for coffee! They have such delicious drinks. I love the iced chai tea latte. One thing I have to say is that both my mom and my sister can't have dairy so they always order oatmilk, which they have to pay extra for, but they are ok with that. But, they made my moms drink with regular dairy milk which she didn't realize till she drank it. So, be careful if you have allergies! Otherwise, this place has a very cute interior and we love it!

    The coffee was incredible. The hibiscus tea was tasty! Service was incredible, and the little coffee shop was the cutest!!! Big fan

    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!!

    Love this coffee shop! Great coffee, fast, lots of seating and it's super cute! I got a seasonal latte with maple syrup and cinnamon and it was super tasty. They have outdoor s at every table against the wall and it's a great place to hangout for a while. I wish they still had mugs but still 5 stars from me!

    A bit of a wait but worth it for a perfect cappuccino. The espresso was really well extracted. I see why they were busy.

    Stopped in while in town for the weekend. Wife and I wanted to make sandwiches and needed fresh…read morebread. Grabbed a loaf of sourdough and we were not disappointed. Great taste and texture overall, everything you'd want from a sourdough. Staff was friendly and shop seemed really clean.

    I heard about Crooked Tree Breadworks on a recent trip to Petoskey and dropped by on my last day in…read morethe area. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to visit until near the end of the day and at that point they had sold out of most of their items, including the famous pepper parmesan rolls. They still had a few items left and we decided to pick up two of them. Kouign Amann ($4.95) - The caramelization of the sugar on this pastry is on point. The bottom has a layer of sugar that has melted into a glaze with extreme caramelization, almost on the verge of being burnt. If it had been left in the oven for a few moments more, it would probably have started to develop an acrid taste. Luckily, it was pulled out at just the right time. Even the sides of this pastry have been graced with sweetness and a top layer of thicker sugar crystals/grains adds an amazing crunch. While the kouign amann may not have as many thin laminated layers as a croissant, there is still an excellent buttery interior which helps balance the outside sweetness. The interior is fluffy and layered well into an even honey comb pattern. This kouign amann exceeded my expectations. (5/5) 3:00 O'clock Baguette ($5.90) - Yikes, this is by far the most expensive baguette I've ever bought. I was kind of dreading it when I first felt the baguette through the bag - it seemed a bit soft and limpy. When I tore into it soon afterwards, I found my concerns to be somewhat unfounded. By somewhat I mean that yes, there is hardly a crust on the baguette, but the interior still exhibits a nice chew and the flavor is very well developed. It's a decent baguette, but nothing outstanding. Perhaps the crust would be better earlier in the day when fresh baked? (4/5) I was definitely surprised by the quality of the baked goods at Crooked Tree Breadworks. I'll have to revisit earlier in the day on my next visit to the area so I can try more of their breads and pastries.

Their handmade bakery goods and other goodies are made fresh daily, sometimes hourly, are always delicious and you can tell they take great pride in only offering the very best they can. We have ordered 'Yule log' otherwise known as 'Bûche de Noël', Christmas cake several times, including this year & they are always delicious and very well received by our Christmas guests! They use locally sourced ingredients where they can and always seem to have a lively, fun, yet relaxed atmosphere of locals and seasonal guests either stopping by for an excellent cop of coffee & a treat or maybe lingering for a while enjoy a breakfast treat or sandwich and while hopping onto the Internet to check of email via their Wi-Fi network. You are always greeted with a friendly 'Welcome' or 'Hello, we'll be right with you.' if they are busy and you always feel welcome even if it's your first time! We loved everything we've tried including their artesian breads, pastries, cookies, Pecan Rolls (so good when they've just come out of the oven!!) as well as their made-to-order cakes, which are amazing!! Highly recommended & we love supporting locally owned & operated businesses & this one is definitely worth supporting!
