Great little coffee shop in downtown St Joseph. The iced chai latte was one of the best I've tasted. Not to be outdone- the caramel latte was awesome too. Prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. They also sell coffee beans too. read more

Forte is a cute spot with yummy drinks right on the main drag of St. Joseph! We visited close to open on a Saturday morning and had the whole place to ourselves but more folks came in as the day went on. There is some gift/merch type items available in the shop and some spots to sit and work or chat around the corner, and everything was clean and cozy. The seasonal drinks looked delicious and the barista recommended the Dun Dun with snickerdoodle and cayenne. It was super sweet- I wish I had asked for half syrup- but perfect if you like sweet drinks! My husband got the Bullseye and thought it was really good. I bet this place gets packed in the summer months, but it was cozy and calm for a winter morning and definitely worth the stop! read more

This place and Broad St. are like night and day. After hanging out at Broad St. and enjoying the warm vibe there. This place was just cold as in the staff working there. They look bothered that we came here and the fall drink we ordered was awful. At least we know now not to return. read more

I got a half caff vanilla frappe and it was so delicious! The people were super nice and accommodating to help find a drink that would be less caffeinated. Line was long but moved quickly read more

I had an iced sugar free vanilla latte, my husband had a cold brew with almond milk and my son had a matcha green tea. My husband and I were happy with our drinks. My son thought there was too much matcha in his tea. read more

Gotta love the help board in the back! I think it was the first time that I thought about the ratios in my coffee/espresso drinks. One of many coffee places in the downtown St. Joseph area but one that I highly recommend! Staff were incredibly friendly and were patient in me taking forever to make my final decision on getting a normal latte. The latte was great! No bitterness from the espresso, it was perfectly mixed with the whole milk. Not sure if there is much else that I can say. Was a reasonable price for a latte and was ready within a few minutes. Definitely a place I would come back to if I happen to be back in the area again! read more

Food- ordered coffee. Latte was warm and tasted like almond milk only. Flat white coffee was like drinking flavored water. Both hot coffees were more like warm coffees and tasted disgusting. Service- fair Ambiance- tranquil, coffee shop vibes Would not recommend at all for coffee. read more

My husband picked me up a 12 oz cup of the Forté blend while he was out running some errands on New Years Eve.  I am not a huge coffee person, preferring to grab a chai tea or hot cocoa, but I'm trying to become more adult in my methods of acquiring caffeine.  Energy drinks with loads of carbs are being cut out slowly, so coffee is something I'm attempting to aquire a taste for.  The forté blend was a good choice and I'll probably get it next time I come in.  They do also have baked goods that all look delicious, but I haven't gotten one yet. read more

Great coffee in a cute area! Was glad I stopped by to explore - there is a small amount of good seating areas indoor and outdoor as well.

As a barista I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff was incredibly rude --acted like serving customers was a burden. I tried to brush it off and ordered a coffee, hoping at least the drink would make up for it. Unfortunately, it didn't. The coffee was bitter, burnt, and somehow both watery and overly strong. I couldn't finish it. Between the poor service and awful drink, I won't be coming back -- and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who enjoys either decent coffee or basic courtesy. read more

We stopped in here each morning during our stay in St Joseph. Each morning the staff was friendly and helpful. The drinks were delicious and we loved that there were Pride themed beverages during Pride month! read more

Amazing service, great coffee, and the owners are wonderful. The atmosphere is cozy, making it the perfect spot to relax after a morning run with my wife. We always feel welcomed here, and the quality never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by today. I got a medium hot dirty chai. The total was over seven dollars but it was pretty decent. They were a little busy when I was there, but got the drinks out in good timing. I saw they had pastries, which I did not try. It looks decent. When I go by I'll grab another drink. The menu was pretty big. read more

An excellent cafe nestled in the rugged, artsy downtown district. We had a flat white latte and an iced chai, and both were delicious! They have all the milk alternatives you could ever ask for (thanks lactose intolerance), and they even have some unique options for supporting local humane societies! How cool! read more

Customer service was very nice, the place is clean, nice and organized as well.... HOWEVER, though I LOVE coffee....This was not it for me. The mocha frap was gross to me. Strong almost like old coffee grounds taste mixed with a very cheap generic chocolate taste. The chocolate taste was very off putting kinda waxy. I have only been there was so MAY give it another try but really cautious in doing so. Was very disappointed. read more
