    Coffee, food and vibe 10/10!!! The housemade chocolate cream coffee was so good, taste like a rich chocolate milk but not too sweet. Their matcha was also very good. For food, I got the BEC bagel and it was one of the best breakfast bagel sandwiches I've had. The cream cheese on it was chefs kiss.

    Love the dark but vibrant punk vibe in here, complete with background music. I enjoyed an oat milk latte which was smooth and served on a small wooden board with a copper spoon. She had rocket fuel with real maple cream. Barista is knowledgable, patient, and friendly. Thanks for adding some awesome culture to Michigan City!

    Super good! The lavender latte was great and the warm spiced chocolate latte was delicious. Staff was very nice and there is tons of seating inside. Would recommend!

    A full menu devoted to chai

    Fantastic spot that's well worth the trip off the highway... I would love to see some more lunchy sandwich options on the menu because they seem to be mostly egg.

    This is a nice coffee shop with bagel sandwiches and other pastries. Obviously a new use for an old downtown building, it's clean and well (if somewhat electric) decorated. Staff is very helpful with free coffee refills while in the store. A good breakfast restaurant in an underserved area.

    Great local coffee shop. This is the best full service coffee shop at an easy in-and-out location, right in the middle of downtown Michigan City. Excellent coffee and food (all made to order) as well as a unique decor and vibe. My go to spot whenever I'm in town.

    Service was super friendly and helpful. Peanut butter chocolate coffee was amazing. Space was clean, ambiance was warm and inviting

    The latest drink special that just dropped yesterday - forgot the name but this cold brew is THE REAL DEAL

    Came here before hitting the outlet malls and was not disappointed! Such a cool, sleek and unique coffee shop with plenty of seating, good vibes, and baristas who are meticulously crafting delicious drinks. The wait was well worth it. I got the cold brew that was featured for the month and it had a maple spiced syrup with a spritz of paprika and something else, also came with a maple rock candy lollipop. So delicious. Will definitely be back again when I'm in the area!

    Get your fuel for the day at @fluidcoffeelove! Tried the lemon love cold brew and the vanilla bean iced coffee at Fluid and it was honestly incredible! I didn't know how to feel with lemon and coffee but being such a lemon lover I was obsessed and all I want is more of this cold brew! It wasn't overpowering whatsoever honestly made to perfection it was exactly what I hoped it would taste like! The vanilla bean iced coffee was refreshing and yummy and I was happy to be able to try both:) The ambiance is very artsy and it's honestly such a fun vibe to sit down and have coffee and the service was very nice! If you're going on a road trip stop by Fluid Coffee!

    Fluid Coffee Roaster was such an enjoyable experience that I went twice during my trip (even though I usually avoid repeating coffee shops on short trips). My friend and I were in MC for a little weekend getaway and swung in Saturday afternoon for a pick me up. The barista was super friendly and when he told me the Chai was the best he'd had within a 2 hour drive, I had to try it. I wasn't sure how honest he was being but my dirty iced chai was beautifully spiced and not overly sweet like a lot of Chai lattes. The My friend got the monthly special, Dial M for Murder (a cold brew with blueberry coldfoam) that was to DIE for. We opted to swing by in the morning before leaving so she coudl get her own Chai and I decided to get the Doncaster (an iced coffee with buttercotch and oatmilk) and was equally impressed with that. I wish the space had some more comfy chairs versus mostly tables, but space still feels welcoming and it looks like tehre are plenty of pastry and food options as well (wich we didn't try). Definintely worth a visit if you are in the area or passing by!

    Keto Protein Bowl
    Mitch J.

    Found it on Yelp and came here for the good reviews. Noticed right away how dark it was in here, kind of depressing to me. But they do offer outdoor seating which is nice. Ordered coffee, the keto bowl, and the Parma police sandwich. Two employees were here and the one was friendly and one was not. They made our coffee drink super quick and it was really good. The sandwiches though took another 30+ minutes to make and when they were finally ready, they didn't include bacon that we payed extra for on the sandwich and they put cheese on my eggs for the keto bowl (cheese isn't even listed on the menu) and I have a dairy allergy. Food was good when we got it. Seemed like they were very understaffed and couldn't keep up. So if you're not in a rush, or are just ordering coffee, this place might be great, but if you're in a hurry, don't order food here.

    10/10 coffee! such a cute little shop, our barista was so nice! If I'm ever in Michigan city definitely will be back!

    The aesthetic was giving "the living dead drinking coffee". Coffee was good and came in mugs with an average latte art. The sandwiches were tasty. I'd go back and try their draft cold brews. Everyone seemed nice and it was pretty crowded.

    The Madagascar vanilla bean latte is the best latte I've had in recent memory and possibly the best latte I've had in my life.

    Went for dinner on 2/13 thinking we would not have the rush for Valentines Day. That plan was good…read more We made a reservation but when we arrived the bar had open seats so we sat there. I ordered the White Fish dish and my wife had Tortellini with vodka sauce with added sausage crumbles. Both dishes were incredible and I'd strongly recommend. Now for the downside and the reason for only rating 4 stars. Prior to dinner we split a Zsa Zsa Salad. The menu describes this as having poached shrimp, asparagus bits, bacon, avocado, tomato with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. For some reason the shrimp decided to leave the plate before we got it. Without the shrimp, the salad was boring and pretty much flavorless. We would have liked it better had they used Romaine rather then the foliage we all used to discard before serving. We asked the Bartender about the missing shrimp and she put in an order for a side of shrimp. The side arrived after we had pretty much finished with the salad. Not complaining because we ate the shrimp as it was the best part. The surprise came when we received the bill which contained the $19.00 charge for the salad as well as a $10.00 charge for the side of shrimp. I pointed that out and it was promptly removed. In summary, I'd suggest a hard pass on this menu item. Not to leave this review on a sour note, we love Cafe Farina and as previously mentioned the entrees were both fantastic. As a side note, we tried their privately labeled Farina Valpolicella Red. Moderately priced and well worth it's $56.00 price. We will order that again.

    The food was spectacular, old world ambiance. Just like your Italian grandmothers kitchen, good…read moreservice too

    The Coffee Has Potential. The Attitude Does Not…read more Let me set the scene: I walked in happy, wallet open, ready to support local. Bought a latte and three greeting cards. Three. GREETING. CARDS. You know, the things you buy when you care about people? The irony was lost on whoever was behind the counter. No "thank you." No smile. Just a full serving of stanky attitude with a side of complete indifference -- and I didn't even order that. They've got 444 on the door. Angel numbers. Protection energy. Good vibes literally bolted to the building. And somehow none of it made it past the front entrance. I've given this place multiple chances because I believe in supporting local businesses. This is me believing in something for the last time. To the owner: I genuinely hope you're not the person I keep encountering behind the register. If you are -- bless your heart. If you're not -- you may want to pop in unannounced one day. Bring a secret shopper. Bring a therapist. Bring snacks. Whatever it takes. The latte was fine. The cards were cute. The experience? Starbucks doesn't have angel numbers on the door, but at least they say thank you. I'm out. Peace.
