    EXCELLENT! This place is TOP NOTCH. Probably the best coffee we've had on our entire trip. Prices are great & the drinks are even better! The latte i ordered was so strong and sweet I loved it! Super clean place & the entire staff were beyond great. The interior is lovely & even better, they support PALESTINE . The feel of this place is positive I could t of wanted a better spot to go. I highly recommend this place. It's in the heart of traverse city so it's easy to get in and out. No steps to get in so it's wheelchair accessible. There's a generous amount of parking outside.

    Great spot for coffee and to study! The interior is cute and trendy. Limited tables but they seemed more of a grab and go place. The cafe caramel was soo good! Also make sure you get the hand pie! The crust was so flaky and delicious. Wifi was reliable.

    Will never return. The gentleman with the goutee who worked on 7/23 around 9am was extremely rude. We met up with friends at this coffee shop and sat inside to catch up with our small children. There was only one customer in line when he yelled at us, "You all need to be quiet! I can't hear my customer!" We had no trouble hearing our conversation and were kids were sitting nicely by the window. Later on this gentleman was taking out the trash and we apologized but mentioned that his comment was quite rude and took us aback. He continued to harass us and refused to give his name. He said, "The volume of this coffee shop should be like that it a library." It is a small space where silence is impossible. We have never been treated with such disrespect. As a local, we will not be returning. This man has no right to be in the service industry. The website says "good for kids", but this should probably be removed as it is not accurate.

    got a iced vanilla latte that is exactly how a latte is supposed to taste, super nice guy working there, cute place too!

    Stopped here to pick up some plain coffees so can't accurately judge food or specialty drinks but I thought it was such a cute and trendy spot. LOVED that you can buy a toy dinosaur with your drink. Nice to have a coffee shop like this East TC

    First time here. Coffee was good. Scone was pretty good, but a little too sweet for me. The two ladies working were not friendly.

    Cuppa Joe's Eastside has delicious coffee. I love the hand pies-a great value and the chalula sauce that goes with them is a nice touch.

    I got a cafe caramel and it was very good- smooth and the perfect amount of sweet.

    Nice coffee shop with plentiful seating. There was a bit of a line on a Monday morning. Not a…read more"quick stop." I'm a sucker for a house made syrup so I tried the lavender mint latte with oat milk. Bonus points for a solid heart made with oat milk! The mint was not very prevalent which was fine by me. It was a tad sweeter than I'd want but still very good. The almond croissant was perfect - crunchy and flaky crust with lots of almond stuffing. I can't stand when there is not enough stuffing! I would skip the veggie power bowl - it reminded me of a thanksgiving side dish. Didn't go with the vibe. It was pretty though, and healthy! I just wish they would deliver the food to your seat. As a solo diner I had to keep popping over to see if they called my name and risked giving up my table or leaving my stuff there. Plenty of free parking in the lot. Try it out!

    Nice large space with plenty of seating. Delicious coconut cream latte. Did notice hate speech…read morewritten on front wall in dirt. Multiple offensive words/symbols. I was perturbed, so I grabbed napkin and went outside to wipe off myself. Dealt with it. Mentioned to barista she was concerningly not concerned nor did she initiate immediate action. It's really jarring to walk up to an establishment and be met with a penis, hateful symbols and some terrible terrible language. Wish they had more care and concern for how they present. Coffee was good tho.

The avocado toast was inedible. The eggs were barely cooked. The greens were plain and undressed (bitter arugula). The tomatoes were soggy. The bread was thin and untoasted, so it got soggy really quickly. The avocado was a thin consistency (maybe packaged avo?), browning, and a super thin layer. They gave me a little side of fresh berries that seemed like they were packaged for a few days (strawberries a little sketch.) They were out of almond croissants and many other pastries (10a on a tues.) You order at the counter and they bring food to you. I found a paid parking spot in the lot right in front ($1.50/hr or so). There are lots of cute seating areas so this space would have potential if they fix the food situation. The pictures on their Instagram made it look much tastier than it was :/
