The Flying Saucer - Inside

The Flying Saucer

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.

Nice ambiance, I liked the theming of the shop. This was our first stop in New Haven and we were…read moreexcited 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.

I love my coffee, so when I travel, I always seek out a local roaster, and I am SO GLAD that I…read morefound Uncommon during my first visit to Lake Michigan! 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...

We loved uncommon! Best shop in town. Prepare to wait a long time though... I waited 30 minutes for…read moremy drink even though my husband got his in under 10 (same order). I wish they had come out together! But the drinks were delicious. We enjoyed the pancake latte, a cold brew, and the carrot cake latte. The shops (we did try both locations) were packed but I bet if it was slower I'd enjoy hanging out inside too. Another thing they offer are different coffee classes in Douglas. We did the better brew class and learned so much while also got to taste a few different brews. It was a great time! Our teacher was super knowledgeable and I appreciated her taking the time to answer all my questions. They even gave us a full bag of beans as a souvenir. Great value for the class!

The coffee-to-flavor ratio was perfect, and everything was made with high quality ingredients. The hash brown was delicious too, and I would definitely come back for both. The atmosphere was probably my biggest hesitation. Even though it wasn't particularly busy when we visited, it was loud and a little overstimulating. The space also felt somewhat cluttered, almost like they had everything you need, but hard to find where things would be. It could have been a little cleaner as well. There is some nice outdoor seating, which I really liked. The service wasn't bad, but it didn't feel especially warm or welcoming either. The barista seemed fairly disengaged (but she did make a great coffee). I think this would be a nice place to meet up with a friend for a coffee and something to eat. I probably wouldn't choose it as a place to work. Overall, the food and coffee were great so I'm glad we stopped in. I just wish the atmosphere and customer service matched the quality of what they're serving!
