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

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 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

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

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

If you like Chai Tea Lattes- you HAVE to try one at the Flying Saucer Coffee Shop. I stopped in while we were camping in South Haven, MI, and I think it was the BEST chai tea latte I have ever had!

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
