    This is a nice little coffee shop. I like that they have decaf espresso to make drinks. I had a decaf latte and it was good. I have tried the baked goods at 2 locations and I do not think they are anything special, honestly. I would stick to the drinks. Staff was friendly.

    Forte coffee was a lovely find! My boyfriend and I were driving back to chicago and we wanted some coffee and decided to stop by here. The menu was extremely cute! Well designed and explained every item really well. I had the cracker jack hazelnut and caramel latte and my boyfriend got the shamrock latte. We also got the biscottis - butterscotch and dark chocolate! Super super yum. Our barista was very nice and helpful! Overall the ambiance was great, very cute. Fun Fact: this coffee shop is connected to a glass blowing gallery/factory! Coolest thing ever.

    Delicious coffee but $10 for a matcha latte is indeed ridiculous. I only go when I want to treat myself. The owner is so nice and it is ALWAYS packed. I wish they would do more special matcha latte's but haven't seen anything yet. I do love the fact that they do specials on their whiteboard and switch them up often. I was in between giving them 3 and 4 stars but I truly think that $10 for a drink is soooooooo expensive. My order is matcha latte with oatmilk iced that's it!!

    Very cool little coffee shop! Friendly staff, great coffee and awesome cookies! Beautiful interior, the ceiling is gorgeous! As are the old hard wood floors!

    The wall menu to truly satisfy your needs.

    I was up in Benton Harbor for a graduation party and I was looking for a Starbucks, well the closest one was in another town. My family told me about this place and once I visited this place and tried was they had to offered, Starbucks was no longer on my mind. Very friendly service, beautiful decor and some of the best tasting coffee to delight you, please visit these folks.

    I loved it. I love iced coffee drinks and baked goods. This place has both! I sat outside in the sun and relaxed.

    I ordered the iced Americano which was smooth with a great nutty flavor.

    I love my coffee, so when I travel, I always seek out a local roaster, and I am SO GLAD that I…read morefound Uncommon during my first visit to Lake Michigan! I'd come across them while doing my HW for the trip, but without really knowing the area, I'd thought that staying in South Haven meant I wouldn't get the chance to visit, but after stopping in to The Flying Saucer in South Haven and picking up their beans there for the house, I learned everything is kinda close on this part of the coast! This is their main location, right in the heart of Saugatuck. It's cozy and colorful, warm and inviting, and filled with some incredibly sweet people. Oh yeah. They have A LOT of great coffee too! Their specialty and seasonal drinks all sounded delicious, but I'm a purist in pursuit of the best cup of black coffee, here for the single origins and blends that are sourced and roasted by this skilled team. Walking in I was faced by a massive wall filled with beautiful bags of beans from all over the world, each labeled with notes on origin, processing and flavor profile. I set my sights on a pour over and when the cashier said I could choose anything from the wall, I was gobsmacked (that's a funny word). The range was so impressive, with great representation from all over the world, processed in all different ways, making the choice quite difficult. It's a good thing I used my time in line to look at all of the options, and I settled on a white honey processed coffee called Villa Sarchi, which was delightful. If I have one quibble it's that they didn't have an actual pour over menu and this is simply because I enjoy asking the baristas about the coffees. This spot is super hot, with a line out the door at all times, so despite the barista at the counter being incredibly accommodating, I couldn't in good conscience hold up the patrons behind me with too many questions or returns to the wall. I also tried their espresso lime tonic for a beverage to stroll with and enjoyed the slight sweet and tart drink very much on a hot day. Uncommon also has a great menu of food offerings and we had a bagel breakfast sandwich and one of their MASSIVE savory scones. I wish I'd asked or been asked about warming the scone because it definitely needed it, but holy hell this thing was packed with cheesy goodness and the perfect foil to my naturally sweet coffee. Normally I go home with one bag of coffee as a souvenir, but I couldn't help but buy two, which were in addition to the beans I also bought in South Haven! In total I think I sampled about 5 different Uncommon roasts and loved them all! I loved this place so much I looked to buy merch, but sadly they had run out of the sizes I needed. There's always next time. Or maybe they'll ship...

    Very much looks the part, but was left wanting a little more tbh…read more First off, vibes wise: amazing. Beautiful old house converted to a coffee shop with a dreamy garden in the back. Incredible. Coffee wise: fair. I ordered a few specialty summer cold brews for my wife and I and they were tiny, and my wife's was well-made with cold foam and cinnamon, but mine barely had a dollop (I gave her the good one, aren't I a nice husband?) I got a black coffee on my second visit and it wasn't very good. Service: friendly but slow. I was SO glad to have pitcher on pitcher of cold brew back at the AirBNB so I didn't have to wait. The times I came, this place was popping and it (expectedly) took some time. Hours: I was out for an early morning walk in the six o'clock am hour and several other middle-aged to elderly people were circling like vultures waiting for their caffeine fix. I feel like in peak season bumping hours to 6 or even 6:30 might do numbers for them. Food: I ordered a buttered bagel for my kids the first time in and it took a long, long time. I think they forgot about it. It appeared to be a grocery store style bagel and was ok. I'm telling you, this place looks beautiful and it's got great energy. It just so happened the business and the coffee on just a few visits didn't quite land. I would definitely encourage folks to try it out, it just missed the mark more than I was hoping for.
