    Beautiful store front.

    We stopped in for a caffeine kick on our way home and were charmed by this lovely space! Out of respect for the many patrons who were seated and sipping, noshing and visiting, there are no inside pictures to share. Know that the owner has taken pains to preserve and enhance the beauty of this older space. Wood burning fireplace in back seating area, gorgeous wood and glass door coolers and bakery case, tile flooring and lots of woodwork. Some nice bespoke items for sale including Wiley lotion and soap, locally-made incense and oils, and a few other dainties. Our cappuccinos were delicious and service was welcoming. Baked goods are sourced from Crust - a Michigan company that is delicious (Westborn and several other Detroit-area markets sell their Fenton-baked goodies). Noticed the bagged coffee beans for sale are from California. Wondering why not sell local Michigan roasted beans? Will return.

    The outside appearance drew me in. Minimalist, sophisticated and modern, I immediately wondered what this place was. One look at the menu I was hooked and had to stop in Its warm, inviting, a place I wanted to hang out for awhile in. There are many places to sit and a beautiful outside area with fire to keep warm by. I was disappointed the menu online was completely different then the menu inside. No where near as many cocktail and warm boozy options listed online. I was told that the online menu wasn't updated. There were some that were still available if you go through the list with them but if they're busy that is a bit hard to do. I hope they get this adjusted. Especially in the cold season when warm boozy drinks are definitely a draw. For food.... The have different Toasts. A lot of different pastries to choose from. We ordered a few things to try. A Cinnamon Roll, Cheese Danish, and an Almond Croissant. We also ordered a Cappuccino which was very well done. Strong but not bitter. Really great flavor and design. They have Muffins, Scones, various Croissants, Cookies, Large Cinnamon Rolls. Everything I've had is delicious. Most come from Crust Bakery in Fenton they said. I can't remember where the Cinnamon Rolls are from. Everything was good and fresh. We have been back since our first visit. I have to add that the Chai Tea is delicious as well.. Service is friendly.

    Loo. Clean. Details on fixtures were simple and smart.

    Hot Chocolate
    Cynthia B.

    Visited Harless + Hugh today. It's downtown Bay City. It was a beautiful crisp autumn day for coffee by their fire pit outside. We enjoyed a hot chocolate (off menu but available) and 2 iced seasonal lattes. You have to try the maple latte especially for those who are not pumpkin spice girls/guys. It was delicious! We ordered a chocolate croissant, lox toast and a fig toast. Sourdough was crunchy with a wonderfully gooey spread of cream cheese with lox and capers. The figs were sweet with honey on the ricotta spread and toast. Thanks to the staff for a great start to our day - especially for making a hot chocolate for our non-coffee drinker!

    Avocado toast
    Kelli R.

    What a hidden gem and my favorite stop here in bay city! The avocado toast was my favorite thing in the world. The combination on vinaigrette with the heaping scoop on smashed avocado, topped with arugula,, everything but bagel seasoning, and deviled hard-boiled egg was delightful. The yogurt was paired with chia seed, local honey and fresh berries! I cannot say enough. Everyone was so nice and even let my dog in the Arizona theme patio from the best ambiance. Love this place !

    Amazing selection of pastries and outstanding coffees, first class in Bay City! Deserves top coffee place.

    Rose white tea

    This was a small town, and I expected their cafes to be more blue plate Americana kind of food, but this one offered a wider, higher-end menu. They also maximized their little shop, including a courtyard out back. A diverse menu of brunch cuisine offered several temptations before I settled on a waffle; theirs comes quartered and with ample fruit and maple syrup. The waffle itself was the least interesting part. Ordering a white tea got me ample tea and just a little ice, which was great; most iced drinks are all ice but this was just enough to keep things cool. The tea itself was excellent in flavor. Having said that, the food and drinks at other tables looked nice too, as did a pastry spread, a selection of canned and bottled beverages, and a small marketplace of niche food items. I was redirected from other food plans in my search for vegetarian-friendly food in central Michigan, and I found this place to be a winner.

    Sooo cute! Stopped in for an Iced Brown Sugar Latte and Almond Croissant Togo - but I cannot wait to come back and order some yummy food and more coffee! The staff was so kind and service was quick, but not rushed. Everyone was enjoying a relaxed, happy vibe. Love their gift & goodies section too!

    What a fantastic place in Bay City. We've been driving up and down from Detroit to Tawas for five years and we finally found a place where we can get a really good latte and snack. It's a place you wouldn't expect on this old downtown street. Worth checking

    Fig toast

    Made a pit stop here on our way over to Traverse City. The food was yummy! I got the avocado toast, it was super filling and all the components went so well together. The pickled egg on top was sooo good! My friends got the fig toast which they said was amazing. I have a friend that is gluten free, she got the lox toast on gluten free bread (not pictured) and she loved it! All of us loved our lattes too! The service was great, everyone was so pleasant! It is super cute there, the outdoor seating was so nice, it was pretty out there!

    Cafe Latte.... disappointing

    Food- ordered cafe latte with whole milk. It had a funky taste that is difficult to describe. It was disgusting to say the least. The temperature of the drink was perfect.... hot! Unfortunately, the taste was not working for me. Service- fair Ambiance- spa like feel with a sprinkle of LA vibes Will not be returning and would not recommend.

    In my opinion, this is the best coffee shop in town. I've tried what appears to be the top, few coffee shops, but I would say this one is the best. The flavors are perfect and the presentations are perfect. Especially since I use almond milk, which tends to be a little harder on the presentation then cow milk. The vibes are relaxing and calm. Lots of seating. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have outdoor seating in the front of the building and in the back. The staff is friendly and engaging. A lot of great vibes here and great coffee. They also carry amazing baked goods from a local bakery shop. Chocolate, croissants, cheese, croissants, almond croissants, sticky buns, etc..

    Orange Cardamom Latte
    Emma T.

    This place is such a great find! They have delicious food and drinks, with some really interesting stuff on the menu! When I'm back in the area I'll be here again! Great vibes, but be prepared to wait, especially if you have to wait in a line to place your order.

    This place has good light roast coffee for those that do not like the current trend of dark roast, motor oil coffee.
