No food ordered just a 12oz skim latte which came out very hot (yay!). The staff is friendly and quick, they offered dog treats for our two furry companions which is always appreciated. read more

See all

Locals spot for coffee. Service is friendly. Ambience is acceptable. They have a drive through option as well as a sit down spot in town.

Got a caramel cappuccino and it was delicious but more importantly I got the pesto chicken sandwhich and it was exceptional. Not joking when I say it's the best I've had. It was so fresh and flavorful, seriously I was so so impressed! read more

We loved cuppa Joe! Delicious pastries and smoothies! The apricot and cinnamon roll croissants were to die for! So fresh and flavorful, light and buttery! Omgggg we went back the next day for more! Very nice staff also! read more

I just love cuppa joe. I even visited this drive-thru location on my bicycle. Thankfully, my drink fit in my water bottle holder. Biking while holding stuff doesn't work for me and I don't have a basket or panniers. The drink that I got was a Mexican mocha- mocha plus vanilla and cinnamon. It had exactly enough bite/kick. I know when I order here that it's quality. Thanks. read more

This place has no seating and is mostly a drive-thru with no food. If you want pastries and other breakfast items, you need to go to the other location. The coffee is okay, and the iced coffee is mediocre. read more

Last stop on our way out of Traverse City and it was awesome! The coffee came out delicious: salted caramel vanilla latte! I have also never had a scone that wasn't just dry biscuits with sometimes icing on top, this scone was bursting with flavor and solubility of keylime batter with blueberry compote inside and icing on top! Check this place out for other tasty treats! I'm sure they will have more to offer the next time I go back! read more

We tried to go for local coffee, instead of the Starbucks which was right next door. The drive thru is kind of difficult to get to because you have to cross traffic. The coffee was... fine... decent... nothing special. If you're coming to TC, there are great options which I would go to before going back to Cuppa Joe. I will say, the staff was wonderful and did a great job moving people through the line. At one point, they were even coming out to the cars to take orders so we didn't have to wait long. read more

Amazing coffee!!! We were in town visiting from Texas and we literally went to Cuppa Joe 4 mornings in a row. It was so good, we didn't want to try anywhere else. The coffee was consistent each time and they were so friendly to us. Definitely recommend! read more

Amazing coffee at really great prices. Had an Americano and White Mocha. Also got a blue berry scone, wow was one of the best scones I've had. Server was very friendly. Will definitely be swinging by there again. read more

Yummy coffee & I do love supporting local. My only complaints are that the menu is at the window after the girl walks up to your car window and takes your order. Also, the cup sizes are small for the price but I don't mind since it's supporting local. Coffee tastes good - not burnt like Starbucks. The iced vanilla latte I got was good, but the hot version was way better. read more

It's so nice to have a drive thru option that isn't Starbucks! We grabbed coffee from here a couple of times when we were in town. It was really good. Their honey syrup is apparently made from local honey and was perfect in my oat milk latte! read more

This place is legit! Delicious coffee, no wonder there's always a line up front! Definitely a hidden gem in traverse city!

Don't buy coffee anywhere else. This coffee was fantastic and wish it was in my hometown!! If I lived in TC, I would skip the rest and head here. Don't let the exterior fool you! (PS, recommend upgrading the exterior to draw in the crowds!) read more

Cuppa Joe - Coffee, with cream and a bit of sugar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

Awesome iced mochas Best blueberry scones we've ever had!

Update: Sandi from Cuppa Joe reached out to apologize, explain that they had received a shipment of faulty cups, and offered to reimburse me completely for the ruined phone case. Very impressed with the customer service and will gladly visit again thanks to this. read more

Cuppa Joe - The cup leaked from the bottom into both of my cup holders. My phone was in the other and the leaked coffee fried my $150 Mophie phone case. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

The best! No better way to start my day. I really love the flavor of the house coffee. Makes it easy in the morning to just hop on over and grab a solid Cuppa Joe read more

What can I say? Me and coffee have a great romance and Cuppa Joe keeps the flames burning lol. Always hit this place when I'm in town. Cold, hot, cold brew-doesn't matter it's great coffee. Service is a little slow but the coffee makes up for the wait read more

Buy local!!! I am guilty of grabbing my morning coffee from Starbucks each day because it was quick and familiar. Not anymore! Cuppa Joe is right across the street, has a drive through as well, makes the yummiest coffee, and is a local business. Absolutely recommend. read more

My favorite place to stop and get coffee!! It's a shame that Starbucks is going up next door but I will continue to go here no matter what. The baked goods are always fresh, and coffee, hot chocolate and smoothies are excellent. read more

Great coffee! Fun menu selection and the staff was so helpful. They recommended the Diablo coffee , which I would highly recommend! Mocha with some cayenne. For sure stop if you are in traverse city. read more

Cuppa Joe to the rescue! I am not used to two particular circumstances when running out for coffee: 1. Freezing cold temperatures (I currently live in London). 2. Children (under my care/in my car) sleeping in car seats. And yesterday, both of these conditions applied to me...and I was thankful to remember Cuppa Joe situated there on the corner of Front Street and Garfield, ready to make all my coffee dreams come true, despite the inclimate obstacles standing in my way. I wasn't in need of perfection, I was in need of good enough. And this will do ya just fine, my friends. The line was about 4 cars deep when I arrived, and the ambitious young cashier made his way out in the cold to take orders and get them ready. Even with this it was still a rather long process. I suppose if someone has a large order in front of you, it is not possible to retrieve your simpler order by walking around them, as you would at a counter shop. Who cares though? I mean you are driving through to get coffee, the least one can do is have a bit of patience with the process. The guys were polite. The coffee was fine. Nearly $4 for a latte with a dash of syrup seems a bit steep to me, but again -- who am I to complain when they'll serve it to me in my car? I won't. Well ok I am a little, but I'll survive. ...and, on our way! Baby still sleeping and I'm working my way in the other direction to being a fully awake human. The exterior could use a little TLC and would really shine. read more

I'll admit it I'm used to certain big chain coffee shop after living downstate... Finding a good cup of coffee in the morning after moving back felt like a daily struggle- until I found CuppaJoe. Suffering from serious goldilocks syndrome every coffee shop I tried was either too expensive, tasted Awful, inconvenient or the staff was taking living in TC too seriously and constantly on island time ... Not here they're amazing! Drinks are delicious (pumpkin pie latte anyone? Yum!!) and the drive thru is awesome when the last thing you want to do is trudge through the snow in December! The staff I'd say is near perfect, always so cheerful even when they're at your car window in the freezing rain taking your order to speed the line along. Price is just right too. Thanks for being there to take care of my caffeine fix guys! :) read more

Cuppa Joe is pretty good, and as previously mentioned by others, very fast and efficient. It is a drive thru after all! I am an iced latte fiend, and in my one week visit in Northern Michigan I have been by cuppa joe almost every day to get my fix. Its not the best espresso in the world (i.e. Stumptown) but it certainly hits the spot. I have never tried there hot lattes, but the iced one is certainly delicious. read more

Their chai tea is the best!! #supportlocal It was very fast service, I was very happy. I will be back.

Got a latte here this morning. It was good. Service is friendly and fast; what more do I want? The only thing I'd change is to brighten up the outside somehow. When I first drove up I thought it was closed down. read more

I like simple hot black coffee, but am super particular. 12oz regular coffee near the end of the day was hot, rich, and fresh. My kind of place. Sold vegan cookies, if that's your thing. Bought a blueberry scone that was tasty. Loved this place! read more

Went through the drive thru and were third in line, where the guy walked up to the car to get our order. We each ordered iced coffees. I am only giving four stars because of the wait at the drive thru, but once you got up to the window it moved quick! Coffee was great!! Smooth!! This is from not seeing a menu of what they offer. Next time I am in town, I will be back!! read more

Best coffee in Traverse City! Why wait in the Starbucks line when you can support a top quality local business? Outstanding cappuccino, mochas and lattes. read more

Great coffee, friendly service and amazing pastries! This will be a must stop every time we're in TC.

Coffee was actually really good... but our food was cold... potatoes were uncooked, eggs were not good... bacon was like microwaved. None of us finished our breakfast, disappointing. read more

Love having this local coffee spot close to home! Although indoor seating is minimal, this busy mom loves the drive-through option! Reasonable prices, yummy drinks and food, and always super friendly staff. If the line gets long, they'll even come out to the car line to get the orders to speed things along. read more

Best Lattes in T.C. The baristas here really take a lot of pride in what they serve....even if they have a line, they still take the time it takes to produce an amazing latte. Most places rush through it, and burn the milk....I highly recommend them. And BTW----The one at Horizon downtown is the BEST one!!!!! You guys do a great job! read more

frozen coffees are so goodalso the employees are very nice and honestly u can't go wrong here

Didn't have what I wanted. I asked for half and half. He tried to give me non dairy "creamer" . Coffee at the gas station was better. Step up your game. read more

Fine place to get it started in a beachy town!!!My favorite publications and coffee to dig in & out of digital this & that with a solid boombox/beats machine. Josef S Connolly Menu read more

I got a 12 oz Diablo. Hands down best cup of coffee in my life. Cookies for my dog too. Happy girl, right here. Thanks Cuppa Joe!!!

Great little coffee shop. Got the large shot in the dark - if you are looking for a bold, strong cup of coffee you gotta get that. Latte was smooth too. Would go back if we are in town again. read more

They have an "old sign" that advertises ice cream...waited in line for coffee and ice cream for 10 mins plus. Then we were told they dont have ice cream anymore. Awesome job for a summer tourist locale. We drove off and spent $30 elsewhere. Change the sign! read more
