I'd come across them while doing my HW for the trip, but without really knowing the area, I'd thought that staying in South Haven meant I wouldn't get the chance to visit, but after stopping in to The Flying Saucer in South Haven and picking up their beans there for the house, I learned everything is kinda close on this part of the coast! This is their main location, right in the heart of Saugatuck. It's cozy and colorful, warm and inviting, and filled with some incredibly sweet people. Oh yeah. They have A LOT of great coffee too! Their specialty and seasonal drinks all sounded delicious, but I'm a purist in pursuit of the best cup of black coffee, here for the single origins and blends that are sourced and roasted by this skilled team. Walking in I was faced by a massive wall filled with beautiful bags of beans from all over the world, each labeled with notes on origin, processing and flavor profile. I set my sights on a pour over and when the cashier said I could choose anything from the wall, I was gobsmacked (that's a funny word). The range was so impressive, with great representation from all over the world, processed in all different ways, making the choice quite difficult. It's a good thing I used my time in line to look at all of the options, and I settled on a white honey processed coffee called Villa Sarchi, which was delightful. If I have one quibble it's that they didn't have an actual pour over menu and this is simply because I enjoy asking the baristas about the coffees. This spot is super hot, with a line out the door at all times, so despite the barista at the counter being incredibly accommodating, I couldn't in good conscience hold up the patrons behind me with too many questions or returns to the wall. I also tried their espresso lime tonic for a beverage to stroll with and enjoyed the slight sweet and tart drink very much on a hot day. Uncommon also has a great menu of food offerings and we had a bagel breakfast sandwich and one of their MASSIVE savory scones. I wish I'd asked or been asked about warming the scone because it definitely needed it, but holy hell this thing was packed with cheesy goodness and the perfect foil to my naturally sweet coffee. Normally I go home with one bag of coffee as a souvenir, but I couldn't help but buy two, which were in addition to the beans I also bought in South Haven! In total I think I sampled about 5 different Uncommon roasts and loved them all! I loved this place so much I looked to buy merch, but sadly they had run out of the sizes I needed. There's always next time. Or maybe they'll ship...

Very much looks the part, but was left wanting a little more tbh…read more First off, vibes wise: amazing. Beautiful old house converted to a coffee shop with a dreamy garden in the back. Incredible. Coffee wise: fair. I ordered a few specialty summer cold brews for my wife and I and they were tiny, and my wife's was well-made with cold foam and cinnamon, but mine barely had a dollop (I gave her the good one, aren't I a nice husband?) I got a black coffee on my second visit and it wasn't very good. Service: friendly but slow. I was SO glad to have pitcher on pitcher of cold brew back at the AirBNB so I didn't have to wait. The times I came, this place was popping and it (expectedly) took some time. Hours: I was out for an early morning walk in the six o'clock am hour and several other middle-aged to elderly people were circling like vultures waiting for their caffeine fix. I feel like in peak season bumping hours to 6 or even 6:30 might do numbers for them. Food: I ordered a buttered bagel for my kids the first time in and it took a long, long time. I think they forgot about it. It appeared to be a grocery store style bagel and was ok. I'm telling you, this place looks beautiful and it's got great energy. It just so happened the business and the coffee on just a few visits didn't quite land. I would definitely encourage folks to try it out, it just missed the mark more than I was hoping for.

Since I was in the area, I wanted to check it out. It's SO cute! Their seating area is all outdoors and I love the hammocks and swing seating - it's just so so unique. I got a iced coffee with their banana syrup *my personal fav* and my wife got the seasonal Campfire Coldbrew. I planned to get the banana bread latte, but they were having issues with their espresso machine, unfortunately. The employee working was patient and helped me figure out how to pivot from my original order. We both loved our coffees and it was so nice to be able to go down to the beach since it was so close. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a yummy coffee with a unique environment. Also always LOVE being able to support an LGBTQ+ owned business!

We went for a hike up Mt Baldhead to Oval Beach and back up. Afterwords we needed coffee and bathrooms. Outside Coffee came up on our search list, highly recommended, and open! While most other coffee shops nearby were closed, Outside Coffee was open. Thank you! Furthermore, the coffee was delicious. From drip coffee to cold brew to lattes, you can't go wrong. Everything is high quality and delicious! The staff in both the coffee shop and the outdoor shop were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We loved perusing the outdoor shop goods while we waited for the coffee. Plus the bathrooms were clean and available. What more could you ask for? We now have a must-stop coffee shop next time we are in the area. Thank you for being available, delicious, and high quality, Outside Coffee! And see you next time!

Flying Saucer is the call for coffee in South Haven. When searching for a shop in a new town I…read morealways look for one with a nice pour over menu, as it typically signals the fact they care about the coffee they serve and often are serving or connected to a local roaster, which is exactly the case here. Midday and wifey needed a pick me up, so after a quick Yelp search I discovered The Flying Saucer and set our course. Located right in the heart of downtown South Haven, this shop is a bit unassuming from the outside, but cozy and charming inside. We were fortunate to find a parking spot right in front, so she hopped out and went in to order her drink. We needed coffee for the house, but I wasn't sure we'd find it here, so when she came back out with a bag of ground beans, I had to head in to see what was going on myself. Now I stopped here because I saw the pour over menu and as it turns out, Flying Saucer serves Uncommon Coffee from Saugatuck, and as a result, they offer a wide range of their beans for sale in smaller packages, which were perfect for the needs at home! Flying Saucer was a win on so many levels. Stop here if you're in South Haven.
