    Chorizo panini
    Catharine P.

    We arrived on a Saturday morning, it was packed and had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. The service was exceptional though. The cashier was explaining to everyone in line that they were busy and then following up and checking in with others. We ordered the chorizo panini and a peach tea to share. The panini had tons of flavor and was piping hot when it came out. Definitely recommend. Although the restaurant was crowded and busy, it was very cute instead and we were able to get a seat for our group of 6.

    The Italian panini

    Came here for a quick bite and the food and service were great! The vibe of the cafe is amazing. Loved all the green plants and cute seating areas! 10/10 would recommend and will be back

    Panini and side salad which
    Selma L.

    I think it's basically summed up all in the name. This is a really cute place to grab a bite to eat. You really get the fun, beach town vibes from the aesthetic. They've done an amazing job creating a beautiful space to have lunch. The drinks are fun, think coffee iced teas and lemonades. We ordered a sandwich with a side salad which was ample to share. If you like places like Panera (think salads, paninis) you will love this. The panini was ample size to share and super loaded up!!! The side salad was fresh and very tasty. Definitely check out if you are visiting!!!

    very cute interior. server was also super nice and gave recs. the food was pretty ok except for the roasted bell peppers on the salad which were not for me..!

    Fantastic breakfast paninis and coffee. Little on the expensive side but in a touristy town you kinda expect that. Parking isn't great during the busy season but man that chorizo and egg panini is to die for. Pistachio latte and drip coffee both 5/5 stars. Favorite coffee spot in New Buffalo area.

    Great muffins with sprinkles throughout the muffin

    Great seating and tropical "vibe" with cushion seats and nooks to sit with some privacy. This is a counter order restaurant. The service was good and staff kind. Most of the food was great except they did mix up our order with someone else's. Otherwise the muffins, drinks and sandwiches were really good. Fun positive cafe great sit down spot. No outdoor seating but very good sunlight.

    ISSA GOOD COFFEE! Issa Vibe is a super cute brunch and coffee spot located two blocks off the main road in New Buffalo. And when I say "Good Coffee" I mean "GOOOOOODD coffee. Like this is not your boring Starbucks cup of Joe. This is artisan crafted coffee. I went several time during our stay and everything I tried was great! The shop is SUPER cute and modern with very hipster, boho, flowery, garden vibes. The food was also pretty good - it's normal coffee shop fare like pastries, salads and paninis. My one and only complaint was that service could have been better. Maybe it was the summertime rush/crowds but the baristas and counter staff always seemed short and several times I waited for a while before even being acknowledged. Better service would make this a 5-STAR establishment for sure! Stop in and enjoy the best coffee in New Buffalo!

    Blueberry Latte
    Vera H.

    Had a Saturday morning coffee and breakfast sandwich at Issa Vibe and was sooo good. I had a Blueberry Latte (house made syrup with Michigan blueberries and not too sweet) and I split a Pesto & Egg Panini with my cousin. We also took some muffins to go (GF Lemon Blueberry, Raspberry and Pistachio) and all were just as delicious. Jeremy the owner was extremely friendly and Issa Vibe definitely lives up to its name.

    Wonderful environment- just a perfect, friendly, and clean space for brunch or lunch. They set good expectations on time and they have excellent service. Our sandwiches were super tasty with great layers of flavor. The drinks were complex and lovely. A fantastic spot.

    Berry salad with avocado
    Isabel P.

    This is the best place ever!! Great gluten free and dairy free options. I was visiting New Buffalo and came here both days for my meals because I knew it would be safe for my food allergies. The vegan Italian panini with gluten free bread blew my mind, the salad was so fresh and delicious, and I was so pleasantly surprised to find vegan and gluten free muffins at the counter! Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and willing to answer any questions. The seating area had such a fun bohemian vibe. I loved everything about this place and hope to see more restaurants like this!! 12/10 highly recommend!

    I really like the vegetable soup here, nice atmosphere. I also ordered a caprese salad. It was fine but I thought it was odd that it came with what tasted like ranch dressing along with the pesto and a small amount of thick balsamic glaze. I am not a panini person but I would come back for some other stuff. I did not like having to pay over the phone when placing a takeout order though. I would rather do online ordering and not have to talk to anyone if they are really worried about it.

    chocolate muffin
    Alex L.

    My friends and I were in town during our Easter Break from Notre Dame, and we came here to grub and study. Extremely cozy with good drinks/food and incredibly nice staff. I ordered a chocolate muffin with a lavender matcha latte, and it was one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had (high praise since I've been to every matcha cafe in orange county, california). After 1.5 hours of doing some work, the owner offered us free drinks on the house, which we were all pleasantly surprised about. Definitely worth the visit!

    Breakfast!
    ann K.

    Wow! An amazing vacation find. Our group went once for lunch and again for breakfast. The teas and coffees were perfect. The food is flavorful and fresh. It's a small place and everything is made fresh, so just be patient because it takes a while to prepare. Very worth the wait. If we're back in New Buffalo I'm definitely going again!

The food is always delicious and the homemade sauces, dressings and baked goods are greatly appreciated! Although we noticed the portion sizes are slightly smaller, our meals were outstanding and the service was great. Parking can be challenging; however, they do have a small parking lot and there is street parking in the neighborhood. A beautiful outdoor patio with vines and flowers is a perfect spot for lovely weather days and Brewster's is great for families, lunch/dinner with friends or date night!

    This was just about as perfect an experience as it gets…read more We were in town for a Paul McCartney concert in Chicago and had opted to stay in new Buffalo to have a slightly less expensive room for the night as well as avoiding Chicagoland traffic in the morning. We had not counted on finding such a wonderful restaurant as part of the experience. To begin with the restaurant space is gorgeous. We arrived to find beautiful lighting, and various rooms dressed up with Christmas trees. This space was clearly something else in its former life, perhaps a home? Our waitress Melissa was an absolute sweetheart. She made a point of checking with us several times throughout the meal, and was Delightful to talk to. Our meal was magnificent. I went with their signature Bolognese, and it was absolutely perfect. Heaping amounts of sauce with generous amounts of meat, and perfectly cooked pasta. I was so pleased I almost licked the bowl. Dessert was a must and I went with their sticky toffee pudding. This was another triumph, wonderful toffee bits and soft finish. Frankly I'm a little sad that this place is so far away from where I live, or I would be inclined to come back just to have dinner.
