It was fresh, but it was not strong, dark, and bold. Limited edible offerings. Execution and Hospitality. Typical millenial serviceability = limited engagement, no eye contact, and minimal delivery of expectations. Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. Clean loos. Whimsical and rustic decor. Nice live plants. Lots of natural light. Street and lot parking. Seating was hard. Music was loud and echoed for an almost empty place. Overall, OK. Photodocumented experience.

One of the few coffee spots open much of each day this is a fun stop for a cup of something…read more Once you walk in there is an open vibe with many tables and some comfy chairs as well as various spots to work if you are so inclined. You order at the counter that is directly in front of you, and then they serve the drinks at the end of the counter. Do be mindful though of what you ordered as they didn't take names and called out orders instead. If it is busy (which it was when we visited) you also have to keep on top of the orders as often people mistakenly take an order. They are gracious about making another one for you, but it helps everyone to keep your ears open for your original order. My latte was full of flavor and not too bitter but did need a bit of sugar to make it sweet enough for me. They do have alternative mills but run out quickly so if you want something on a holiday or busy weekend I suggest you go early. Their teas are also quite good as my husband can contest, so if you want to try a tea they have several good options. All in all a great coffee spot and one that can accommodate larger groups and even has some fun Boyne City souvenirs to purchase. Recommend a stop in while visiting !

The barista was friendly and welcoming and made excellent coffee drinks for my friend and I. Some of the best coffee we have had - and we have had coffee from countless places around the country.

Really great experience with expertly crafted coffee in a beautiful and comfortable environment. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

The shop had 1 worker, and lots of customers (many who left frustrated and angry). The 1 worker was polite, but very slow. At one point there were 6 people waiting in line while the worker was making coffee orders for 4 people. There was zero communication with the people waiting! Most left. My wife and I waited about 15 minutes for our drinks. The store had plenty of interested customers, but was so poorly understaffed and the 1 worker was clearly inexperienced. I don't think they survive. Not when being run like this!

Lady at the counter was friendly and they had a ton of options to choose from on the menu. However no macaroons like pictured in the reviews, and even more upsetting was half the toppings I wanted weren't available. Including the tapioca pearls which, are pretty much the whole point of getting bubble tea! Settled for a couple other toppings instead and figured I would give something new a shot. At the end, definitely extremely disappointed with the bubble tea itself. Not only do you not get one of those cups with the plastic sealed top to satisfyingly or frustratingly pop with your straw, but they also provide you with a normal soda straw that isn't big enough to suck any of the boba toppings up with! Definitely a lot of room to improve here with the boba experience, which would be okay if they didn't so explicitly advertise it everywhere with huge boba signs all over the place. I feel bad for the low rating, but unfortunately based on the product itself, I would have to give it two stars. But don't get me wrong, restore was nice and clean, the menu has a lot of option for flavors, and the staff was friendly. So for those reasons, bumping it up to three stars.
