Date balls
Lucy G.

Super cute place! It looks like they renovated since we've been here last. Coffee a sandwiches are super good. Today we tried the date balls as well and we didn't like them unfortunately, so I'd skip that next time. But their food and coffee is great! Pretty quick service as well .

Cool ambiance, but chairs are not comfortable in the front half. The back half has cushioned seats. There are outdoor seats too. We sat in the front window area to enjoy the ac and people watch. The chai latte wasn't very good. It was bland. I wish the hot tea was steeped with the loose leaves in a real mug. There is food available. Free street parking on Sundays.

Cappuccino and Cortado
Morgan-Emilee A.

My favorite coffee shop in Traverse City. It's located downtown, I have never had an issue with parking. I'm sure it can get a little tricky with summer time, but each time I've found a shop out front. I love their Cortado. Their espresso is very tasty and it tastes very smooth and creamy when complimented by milk. When I don't want milk I get an americano or even their drip coffee tastes good. Those who need milk alternatives there's oat and pistachio. Got to say pistachio wins over oat in taste at least. Got a pistachio milk matcha and it's so creamy and the pistachio milk really blends well with their matcha. My husband likes an iced latte with pistachio milk. I've tried a lot of their pastries now. I think a good ol butter milk croissant is still my number one. I tried a sandwich and it was very good. You can tell their pastries are good quality. I see they sell The Mill baking products so I wonder if they use their ingredients from the shop or get pastries delivered. Either way it's delicious! You know this shop is good when I get home and come in with an Outpost coffee and my family says, "You went to Outpost without us?" I'll keep supporting this shop! Cheers on having such a cool coffee shop with great service and very welcoming vibe.

Ambiance and friendly service was the only thing we enjoyed. Went on a Sunday for breakfast since all the sit downs were packed, so we expected to wait but as a quick casual option the wait was way too long. Waited in the order at the counter line for 20 min and then another hour for a toast and 2 sandwiches. They were also already out of eggs and avocado at 10am... coffee options were simple and just okay (no syrups, spices, or seasonal options). The baguette for sandwiches were so hard and crunchy, it wasn't enjoyable to eat. The salmon toast was the best food option we ordered.

See all

Can't speak to anything else, but the PB and J sandwich (called "Trailblazer, " I think?) is THE BEST PB AND J that I have ever had.

Great sandwiches. Chai latte was more bitter than sweet (for my taste). Avoid baguette if you arent in love with a harder bread.

Rude staff, extremely overpriced, bland drinks, doesn't list common allergens on signs. Baguette was pretty good

I thought it had a nice ambience with good service too! This use to be the Brew, but it's now smaller and cozier.

Our server was attentive and friendly and professional. They had a solid food and drink menu and we enjoyed our oysters and tuna carpaccio apps. My Caesar salad was fresh with the right level of parm, dressing, and sourdough croutons, our mushroom risotto and trout was well portioned and prepared-- so delicious. There wasn't room for dessert but and overall excellent dinner experience.

The eggs were barely cooked. The greens were plain and undressed (bitter arugula). The tomatoes were soggy. The bread was thin and untoasted, so it got soggy really quickly. The avocado was a thin consistency (maybe packaged avo?), browning, and a super thin layer. They gave me a little side of fresh berries that seemed like they were packaged for a few days (strawberries a little sketch.) They were out of almond croissants and many other pastries (10a on a tues.) You order at the counter and they bring food to you. I found a paid parking spot in the lot right in front ($1.50/hr or so). There are lots of cute seating areas so this space would have potential if they fix the food situation. The pictures on their Instagram made it look much tastier than it was :/
