When I was out in Alpena, Mi, this place had easily became my favorite place to go to in the…read moremorning and sometimes for lunch. I will say the wait's a little long in the morning as this place is popular. I had ordered coffee and a breakfast wrap and luckily I had some work I could get done while waiting for it. The workers are all so nice and the people coming in and out were also amazed at the amount of souvenirs and merchandise. (Like I was) I was thinking about picking up a quarterzip as they're now in style. If I found myself in Alpena again, you'll catch me here the second I wake up.

This is our favorite coffee to buy whole bean by the 5lb bag. We buy it every 2 months and have for…read moreseveral years. We sometimes order online and have it delivered since it's 50 miles from where we live. On occasion we drive there for an outing but we will never eat there again. First off it's very unappealing inside. Dirty floors Cobb webs everywhere. Just a nasty feeling. I was eating a blah wrap and noticed all of the animal mounts hanging on the walls were thick with dust. Who ever owns this place needs to close for a couple of days and clean up the filth.

First off-if you need a proper wake-up call, order a chai latte with extra espresso. It sounds like…read morea chaotic flavor profile, but trust me on this one. The spicy, sweet chai cuts through the rich coffee, and adding that extra shot gives it the heavy-duty jolt you actually need to survive a massive grocery run. It's dangerously good. While sipping on that, I always end up wandering over toward the gift and home sections. They consistently have the cutest homemade-style gifts, local touches, and unique souvenirs that you wouldn't expect from a big place like Starbucks. Whether you're looking for a sweet local keepsake, quirky little trinkets, or a last-minute gift basket item, their selection of artisan-style goods and seasonal knick-knacks is surprisingly robust.

I buy gifts for friends on special occasions often and I know I won't ever be embarrassed by the quality. I know it's expensive but everything is nowadays. Great local coffee beans, huge selection including Michigan themed small souvenirs, free wifi, little tables to hang out at .....and totally delectible wide variety of chocolates. They gave me a free sample of their caramel butter popcorn and I thought I would die right then and there! So I bought a bag of cherry cordial chocolate covered popcorn for a friend. Five stars all around.

The speaker crackled like someone was about to take my order, and then... silence. The girl working, Kacie Sobeck, sat there and completely ignored me. Not because she was busy, not because she didn't hear me--but because she decided to be petty and unprofessional. Honestly, that's not just "bad service." That's straight-up disrespectful and childish. If this is the kind of behavior BIGGBY allows, it explains why this location has such a bad reputation. Coffee shops are supposed to be about customer service--here, you can't even get basic human decency. I'll never waste my time or money at this BIGGBY again. There are way too many other places to grab coffee from people who actually act like adults. This is hands down the worst BIGGBY I've ever been to. This isn't customer service, it's high school drama with a drive-thru.

John Boy's isn't just a diner--it's a portal. One foot in Americana, one in a dream. The menu reads…read morelike a manifesto: sprawling, obsessive, oddly precise. Every dish arrives like it's been summoned by memory. The bacon is crisp, the toast knows something, and the omelets are heavy with intention. The dining room is small, dimly lit, and full of quiet drama. The regulars speak in half-smiles, and the staff greets you like they've seen your face before--in another life, maybe. Alpena doesn't have many restaurants. That's the mystery. You drive around expecting more, but there's a stillness here. A pause. And then--John Boy's. Waiting. Whether you're just passing through or hiding out for a while, this is your place. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. (Even if you're not hungry.)

A hidden gem in North Michigan!…read more I was visiting Alpena for a diving trip and was recommended this place. Specifically the Fire Burger and their Poutine. Our party was 6, they gave us "outdoor beers" and a pager. When a table opened up we sat down and I was immediately impressed. Our server was friendly and helpful, super sweet. She handled our accommodations (one of my friends had a lot of specific "requests" for his meal.) We got the poutine and mozzarella sticks for our appetizers... holy sh*t.... The poutine was INCREDIBLE. The mozzarella sticks were clearly house made. Just absolute perfection. I took the recommendations of my friend, and got the Fire Burger... insane. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Great beers. Great apps. Great burger. Just an all round great time. You owe it to yourself to try this spot.... And if you don't think so, you probably hate puppies and America.
