    Issa Vibe has fantastic atmosphere that welcomes you the moment you walk in. It's kind of tropical, with little nooks for seating. They offer parties, coffee and a variety of lunch options. We had sandwiches that were delicious! Service was a little awkward but nothing that would prevent me from returning. The double parking lot was a bonus.

    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.

    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!!!

    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

    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..!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great vegan or vegetarian options. The panini was delicious and hit the spot after a day at the beach.

I really enjoyed my lox bagel and thought it was one of the best I've had!! The flavors were nicely balanced with the onion, capers, cream cheese and lox. I was able to eat it easily and get a little piece of everything in each bite. The bagels seem smaller than average, but who needs giant bagels anyway? I found these to be reasonably sized. Big overstuffed bagels that fall apart while you eat them - lox sliding all over the place - are really annoying. These were satisfying without making you feel gross after. The coffee selection exceeded our expectations. We shared a chemex for 2. They had a few single origin coffees to choose from and we had their pink bourbon Columbian. We enjoyed our coffee and bagels outside in their seating area and this was once of my favorite parts of our trip! We didn't have to wait too long, but as we were finishing, a long line was forming down the block. Consider getting there a little early!

    You know, as much as I have been to Oink's in my lifetime, I cannot believe that I forgot to leave…read morea review for them YEARS ago! First let me start by saying that Oink's and I go way back. I believe that the first time I went there was in 1988 when I was 16 (my two older cousins were raised in Union Pier), and since I visit SW MI at least twice a year, I never leave without going to Oink's before coming home. As I always took my kids to Warren Dunes instead of Chicago beaches, my kids always got to enjoy Oink's before coming back home also! So this year was no different and my wife and I got to sit down and enjoy ice cream before coming back home. I have always loved the different ice cream flavors (especially strawberry cheesecake), and as I always do, I bought a few pig keychains and other things from the gift shop. I also have always loved the old-school vibe! So every time I am up that way, I'll be there!! One last thing: I got to meet Coach Vink back in the day because my older two cousins (The McSmith brothers, who both passed away unexpectedly in 2024 and 2025), played for him at New Buffalo High School. Coach was a good dude, and I was sorry to hear of his passing. So, see you next time I'm up there!

    Another ice cream review from another favorite!…read more Oink's has been around for ages and is always a great place to stop in if you're in New Buffalo! There's a parking lot and other fun places in walking distance as well to check out. The decor in Oink's will never leave you bored. There is so much to look at! They have a number system so once you enter, be sure to grab a ticket with a number on it and it'll flash on the screen. There were a few groups who came in who were unaware of that and so the lines and ordering process was a tad chaotic. Eventually one of the staff mentioned something about grabbing a ticket and it was easily sorted. Everyone working was very friendly and patient which is a huge plus. I tried out one of their cherry and chocolate ice cream flavors. So tasty! I also love knowing you can get a half scoop as well although it was still so much ice cream. The perfect place for a sweet treat!
