    Americano and pecan scone.
    Demetrius K.

    Really enjoyed the vibe here as well the coffee. Glad I ordered the pecan scone and they were right that all our freshly made. Service was also great. I'm happy that I stopped by and chose a local coffee shop in our area.

    We were making our way from Holland to Chicago and needed caffeine. This cafe is so cute! The baristas were super patient and friendly, we didn't feel rushed at all. it's been 3 weeks since our visit and my girls friends and I are still talking about that latte. Perfect temp, delicious and creamy especially on the rainy day. Can't wait to go back again

    The coffee was great!! My husband and I both ordered specials from their winter menu. The lattes were foamy, smooth, and had the perfect amount of balance of flavoring to coffee. The barista was kind and did a great job making our coffees. She also answered the questions I had about the drink menu. The inside was very cute with bar stool seating to see the street or more towards the inside of the shop. There are also little items for sale inside the shop which is very cute. I can't wait to come back and try a new latte!

    God damn I found this place. Well worth the 5 minute drive past Dunkin and other drive through places. Here I enjoyed one of the most meticulous pour over experiences I've ever had. I tried both the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and the Brazil. Both were beautifully roasted with great complex flavors. If you're on 94 traveling between Detroit and Chicago...skip the Starbucks and give fotre a try.

    In a world obsessed with coffee I am an outsider preferring chai tea.  I am also in the minority in the belief that Starbucks shouldn't be the go to spot for hot drinks and a quick snack.  I always believed in small local businesses and Forté coffee fits great into the St. Joseph area.  The location could have made it a struggle because of all the other food spots near by but the fact it isnt a chain in a sea of fast food makes it the better and unique choice. I had been wanting to come in since I found out they opened but one thing or another always stopped me (mostly my husband being picky).  I came about an hour before closing on a Friday.  I picked put a chocolate almond scone and a chai tea.  With a small tip my total was still less than $10 which was great.  The 2 employees behind the counter were very cheery and the man even complemented my Bob's Burgers shirt (because duh, BB is awesome). The scone was ok, but not something I'd order again.  It was good enough to encourage me to try other things that would make my taste buds dance though, unlike some places where u taste something u dont love and just know everything is going to be like that.  The chai tea was right up my alley however.  Much better than any other place in the SJ/BH area.  The foam and cinnimon on top was great and the flavor throughout was delicious. Overall, I liked everything.  From the set up, to the employees to the available items everything seemed fantastic.  I'm so glad there is a great chill place in town for a socially anxious girl like me to get her pastries and hot beverages.  I'll 100% be back to possibly try a cookie and get another chai or maybe actually try coffee.

    Delicious coffee! I originally wanted to come because of a yelp comment actually ! Someone was very enthusiastic about the coffee and traveling out of the way to try them. I was visiting a friend and helped her find a new place to get coffee! We got the Miel and it was perfectly flavored and combined! The service was top notch and provided suggestions as needed! It was a cute shop in a shopping center. I would totally spend time here if I lived closer! I also got some beans for a coffee snob friend of mine because it smelled so fucking delicious!

    Matcha Latte
    Crystal P.

    We finally visited Forte last weekend. Not sure what took us so long, but well worth it. I love perfectly made Matcha Lattes, and it was. No concentrate or sugary fake syrups and a variety of options for dairy and non dairy milks. It was heaven on a cold day. He had the Miel and it was also the perfect blend of expresso, foam, honey and cinnamon. Back in his college days, he worked in a high end coffee shop and knows good drinks and he said this was the best he had had in town for what he ordered. It is a little pricey, but these days, it is comparable to everywhere else (and tastes better IMO) and it's also local so there's a good reason as well. Although, the chains in town are owned as franchises, so we support them too. For us, it depends on what we are feeling that day, drink wise, but this is definitely worth the visit. Staff was friendly, love the vibe (even in a strip mall type area) and bonus points that they have a cool way of donating to our local humane society. They have and are expanding locations so we will definitely visit them more.

    We enjoyed our drink and our experience. Happy to go again! It's not my favorite coffee place but it was well worth my time and money.

    This review pains me a bit. I love Martins and I have been shopping there for 20 years. Since…read morethey were acquired their donut deliveries are only on time about half the time and some days they don't come at all. Store shelves have too many sold out items. That never happened with Tally on duty. Too much good stuff is replace by our family brand. I am waiting for the donuts to either go away or be replaced by some preservative filled our family donut. Too many cost reductions. I sent feedback to the link and got some cold a spartan nash manager has been told. That was a month ago.

    When is comes to grocery shopping I don't usually come to Martin's, but I do come by on occasion to…read moretheir deli.  I have been fond of the muffins near the deli that are technically one of their bakery items.  I also love their panini sandwiches, corndogs, and their honey mustard they have available for dipping.  Their salad bar has been updated and I would recommend checking it out but keep in mind it is pay by weight.  Their sushi is freshly made and you can watch the employee make it.  I am not a big raw fish person so I usually will grab one that is vegetarian if I get any at all.  They do have a Starbucks inside which is an added bonus.  In their bakery area I have always enjoyed their muffins, specifically the poppy seed muffin and the blueberry muffins.  Overall I have been enjoying Martin's for years and would recommend coming in specifically for their deli.
