Flying Saucer is the call for coffee in South Haven. When searching for a shop in a new town I always 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. read more

Nice ambiance, I liked the theming of the shop. This was our first stop in New Haven and we were excited coming in, a bit disappointed coming out. The owner (I believe) was there, and it almost seemed like he was annoyed to have us there. My dad loves trying new shops for coffee, he is super into specialty coffees and especially pour-over. He ordered a large-size cup of pour-over, and he was given drip coffee instead. To add to that, instead of giving us what we paid for, they gave us the smaller portion and topped it off with hot water. The coffee otherwise was decent and decently priced. While this wasn't necessarily a terrible experience, there are other spots nearby that are much more welcoming and enjoyable. If you're looking for a nice coffee spot, I would recommend Water's Edge very close by. read more

Good coffee and treats! Their coffee is cery mild and they have my beloved oat milk. They don't have plates or drink-in dishware. But they were patient helping me with my order. It's just a fun little shop with UFO and sci-fi decor. There's a signed picture of Mr Sulu, aka "Uncle" George Takei! Sitting next to the kitchen, the noise of pots and pans slamming was so loud I jumped a couple times. I wouldn't be able to work on my laptop here. But it's a nice air conditioned space with tons of seating and a large unisex bathroom. read more

Well loved coffee shop. Came in mid morning on a Sunday and it was full of folks of all ages. There was also a line but it moves quickly. Staff is friendly. read more

I stopped in for some pastries. Zucchini bread, brownie, raspberry sugar cookie, and a blueberry muffin. The zucchini bread tastes like it has ginger in it, didn't love that, but I liked everything else. The brownie was fudgy enough. The decor and theme is really cute. They can make decaf lattes as well. I would stop in again. read more

The Flying Saucer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

Cute little cafe in downtown South Haven! It's somewhat space themed, with some light artwork/posters on the wall with a kind of sci-fi bent, but I wouldn't call it kitschy or a theme cafe. The focus here is good coffee and they deliver! I got a few drinks for my crew. A vanilla latte for my mom, a coconut latte for my husband, and a cold brew for myself. All were excellent. In particular I quite liked the coconut latte. It's one I never think to order for myself but every time I take a sip when my husband gets one I like it! And they make a great one here. There's plenty of seating here, too (though I took our's to go) and the barista who took my order and prepped our drinks was really nice. Over all, a great option when needing a caffeine fix or a beverage when exploring South Haven! read more

The Flying Saucer - Coffee alien - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

The Flying Saucers atmosphere is unlike anywhere else; cozy, inviting, and sprinkled with a subtle intergalactic theme. The shelves of books are such a wonderful touch. It's easy to lose track of time sipping coffee and flipping through something on a rainy day. The coffee is fantastic. Every cup tastes thoughtfully crafted, and the nitro cold brew is an absolute delight: smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax, a fun place to bring a friend, or just an excellent cup of coffee, The Flying Saucer delivers. read more

One thing about me is, I love sipping on a good cup of coffee. As my girlfriend and I made our last stops in South Haven before heading back to Chicago, we knew we wanted to grab some coffee. We found this coffee shop mixed in with all of the shops in the area and were happy to stop in. The vibe was pretty chill, and the barista was friendly and helpful. I ordered a regular latte and my girl got the Chai Tea. All in all our drinks were good and got the job done. We were both satisfied with our purchase. We'll have to stop back in when we're back in South Haven again. read more

Decided to stop in to get a cup of tea and a pastry/muffin. I was guilty of ordering tea without understanding that they did not have milk set out for customers to add after they ordered their drink. So I asked to have some milk added to my tea. A young man behind the counter nodded and then proceeded to add something to my tea. When he handed it back I asked him what he added, because it was obviously not milk, and he did not respond. I asked again and got no response. Then the cashier turned around and in a loud voice (almost shouting), said "You didn't ask for milk!" Then someone who appeared to be a manager came over and I again asked what was added to my tea. No response once again. The person who may have been a manager said we'll just give you another tea with milk. I said fine, and soon I received my tea, and I left. This is no way to run a coffee shop. There are other options in South Haven where the staff is not hostile, the staff is actually trained, and they actually want your business. read more

The line was decent when we came here. Just two ppl working but loads of space to sit. The theme is aliens. After visiting Roswell NM I really wanted to see more aliens. I think I had the black and white. Nice touch on the lids bc they do look like a flying saucer. Living in a beach town you get a lot of visitors. Be nice to the person taking your order. A little niceness goes a long way. I made it a point to ask the lady who took my order how she was doing. It made her smile more. read more

This place is so cute! I love the theme and how it's pulled through all the decor. This place has plenty of indoor seating and a couple tables outside to sit and enjoy your coffee. The coffee itself is decent. I've tried a couple of the specialty lattes and they basically all taste the same, but they're good. read more

Awesome local coffee shop! I can't believe that an iced coffee with oat milk was only $2.50!! The new location is very bright, but maintains the sci-fi decor and theme of the previous location. There is plenty of seating and a few baked goods for purchase. The staff is prompt, polite, and gets the drinks out quickly. I highly recommend the Flying Saucer! read more

The Flying Saucer is out of this world (pun most definitely intended). We were looking for a coffee shop mid afternoon, and this was one of the few that were still open. We got lucky! The inside makes you think you're inside of a spaceship. Awesome decor! The coffee wasn't half bad either. They have flavor pumps up the wazoo and the espresso was really fresh without any burnt type of taste. I got the double cold brew, which is cold brew brewed with cold brew. Apparently most places use water? Anyways, was really good and strong. I needed to add a little sugar even though I usually get my coffee black. I If you're looking for a little pick me up and maybe a little cool down from a day in downtown South Haven, make a pit stop here. read more

Adventuring with my daughter before school starts, we are exploring local owned coffee shops. Our first stop is the Flying Saucer. Quite a pleasant surprise. The owners didn't disappoint with the decor and atmosphere. There is a book collection to explore about UFOs, futuristic furniture, alien posters, and other art within this theme which is a joy. The staff were attentive and caring of our experience and tastes. Kind and thoughtful. The drinks were tasty and cool on this hot and muggy day. Bravo to this little gem. We feel they are onto something. Can't wait to see if they add anymore cool decor. read more

First off, I think this coffee establishment is super cozy and has a nice atmosphere. However, my friend ordered a peppermint mocha and it tasted like straight up toothpaste.
