    Mocha frap and Carmel frap
    BriAnn K.

    This was the best coffee in the UP. Super cute small business and fast, friendly service. They really know how to make good coffee. I couldn't decide if I liked the mocha or Carmel better, but the Carmel was my drink and I finished it quickly. I wish we could go inside to look at the decorations.

    The quaint and welcoming sign of the Dancing Crane.

    We received a tip to stop into the Dancing Crane Coffee House from a blog we read on line while travelling through Michigan. The baristas here must be the friendliest in the all of the Wolverine State; they explained how they brew coffee, offered tastings and helped us decide which to ultimately purchase based on our individual taste buds. When we asked for some information about the Lake Superior byway, one of the baristas gave us a free map and recommended that we visit the scenic landing for Monocle Lake; we were super pumped that we listened to her suggestion. Definitely make the Dancing Crane, which also offers homemade goodies, a pitstop to refuel with coffee when driving on the Upper Peninsula!

    The cozy rustic interior of Dancing Crane Coffee House

    I had driven by Dancing Crane many times before I finally stopped in, and I'm glad I did. It has a nice, rustic atmosphere with plenty of seating, board games and free WiFi. They also have a drive-thru. It is independently owned (which is obvious even from the outside) and there is a small, friendly staff. While there I met the family that owns it and helped them raise a wall on the expansion they were building. They are nice and welcoming, and know their coffee. They roast their own coffee and espresso, and find their international products at cafe roasting conventions. I ordered a double espresso and a dark roast (two separate days) and it was well roasted, smooth and flavorful. They also have food, including hot dogs, burgers, brats and veggie burgers. This place really was a welcome surprise, and I will be telling family and friends to stop in (we don't live in the area but do a lot of camping and vacationing in the UP). Great owners and product, and a nice place to hang out for a while. A truly unexpected gem.

    This is a great spot with a friendly wonderful atmosphere & fabulous coffee .    I recommend and will be back as today was my 1st visit.

    See all

    Nice people and interesting. They have a mix of little gift items and native craft items. A few are exceptional. Worth a stop.

    This shop is by far the best coffee shop in the UP and would rival anything in a big city.
