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.

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 tea that was tried was the crème brûlée oolong. Took a chance with it as the prickly pear is the top seller but this tea did not disappoint. It is not overly bearing sweet with a nice after taste. The ice cream was called the Mackinac, and it had swirls of chocolate with vanilla and pieces of fudge. The cashier was the sweetest.

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.)
