We've been coming up to Glen Arbor for years and have been stopping in for a morning coffee and sweet treat multiple times during our vacation week. Over the years they have sometimes struggled with staffing and wait times, but in this most recent visit, they had plenty of staff, a quick turnaround, and lots of fresh baked goods. There is some seating indoors, and a nice little shaded spot in the back, as well as a few tables out front. We always take a bag or two home, and we order online to ship when we are missing Sleeping Bear Blend or 45th Parallel! read more

Husband and I got cappuccinos. Was a good stop before heading to our camp site. Clean space and clean bathrooms.

Great coffee and quick service. The prices are a little high but that's to be expected in the area.

We ordered a latte with skim milk (yay) and it was probably a B/B+. Good enough and the price point was fair for 12 oz.. Average old school feel inside and would be a quiet place to read or work - I don't know if they have Wi-Fi. I forgot to check. Service was no sense and fairly quick. read more

WHERE HAS THE WHIMSY GONE?? I have been frequenting Leelanau Coffee for the past 10 years- I ALWAYS stop when passing through Glen Arbor. I could expect to be greeted upon entry with a colorful and eclectic space which I had grown to love and look forward to seeing. Their menu was perfection(I enjoyed my first miel latte here and it basically changed my life), and the packaging/art style is ICONIC, and the smell alone filled me with comfort and joy. Imagine my SHOCK when I walked in yesterday to find the place has been remodeled into a modern, sterile, grey-ified wasteland! Gone is the charm that has greeted Northern Michigan Vacationers for the past 30 years. I am aware that this is due to Schuil Coffee Co.'s recent acquisition. SHAME ON YOU. Don't you know we visit this area for the eccentric whimsy it was once known for? I honestly don't know if I can go back there- it feels like losing an old friend If it's not broken, don't fix it!!!! Enough of the "out with the old in with the new"- some things should never change. Sincerely- a devastated Leelanau Coffee super fan. read more

I found a string of hair in coffee, brought my drink up to the counter and lady ignored me for awhile then used the same cup and remade it. Customer service was bad... read more

Customer service and web site are terrible. I wish they had been kind to their customers because I really enjoy their coffee.

I payed 5.83 for a bagel and cream cheese.... I love bagels I prob eat 3/4 a week lol. This bagel was just bad not good. I want look out for other bagel lovers. Bagel was eh and had no taste. The cream cheese is good. read more

Delicious coffee awful terrible customer service. Don't go in unless you have hours to waste.

The coffee here is actually amazing and the vibes are great! would definitely recommend

paid $7.50 for a cold brew. it literally came with 3 ice cubes and was room temperature...this was not a nitro version. I politely asked for some more ice for my "iced" drink and received an empty water cup with 2 more little ice cubes in it....not an exaggeration. I actually thought it was a joke. i was waiting for the punchline, or figuring I was going to be told there is apparently an ice cube shortage...but nothing?? I could not see the employees name, or I would call her out, but because of her we will never return. Just a final mention, there were only two customers in line. I might have understood if they were slammed, I probably would not have even asked. But that was certainly not the case. Just terrible customer service and attitude. Won't be back...no chance. Go elsewhere is my suggestion. read more

Only tried the Miel Lattee but delicious every time! Great local place to walk to while in Glen Arbor.

With a 3.5 Yelp rating, I went into Leelanau Coffee with low expectations. It's the only coffee shop in Glen Arbor so we had no options early on a Saturday morning. However, overall it was a good experience. Here's why: 1) Coffee: It wasn't bad! The coffee menu includes straight up coffee and specialty drinks. My latte was well brewed, balanced and not too sweet after they put the hazelnut syrup in it. They also have decaf options. 2) Food: They sell breakfast food, including several breakfast sandwiches. Our egg, bacon and cheese breakfast sandwich was tasty as were our chocolate croissants. 3) Service: It wasn't the most friendly, but I think it's because there was a long line being the only coffee option in Glen Arbor. 4) Space: There's a little inside room with tables and chairs. If it's not raining, there's an outdoor back patio too. read more

I cannot stress how important coffee is for road trips and so it was the first thing on our agenda the morning we're leaving Sleeping Bear Dunes for Upper Peninsula. We discovered this place in Glen Arbor from Yelp. Apparently it has been around since 1993! They have their own parking lot, which is very convenient. The place is very spacious, but we only grab to go. They have few selections of baked goods and several variety of coffee beans, but I don't see a lot of specialty lattes. It's pretty nice because you just ask which coffee you want, got handed a cup, and fill it yourself with your preferred sugar/cream etc. We also grab a cheese bagel, which tasted good toasted. The coffee is cheap and the staff is very friendly read more

The place looks nice but the coffee was awful. Nice ambience. But cannot recommend.

Such excellent coffee! I had one of the best Americanos ever, and it was very welcomed after the sad in-room coffee at our hotel. There was a long line, but that's a signal to me that it's worth it. It was! It also happened to be the day the farmers market was happening across the street. I highly recommend getting a delicious coffee and heading over to enjoy it at the adorable farmers market! read more

Stopped in for a quick caffeine fix as we were shopping around Glen Arbor. They have a large seating area if you want to hang out. And lots of their coffee beans for sale along with mugs too. The service was quick. I had a cafe latte which was nice snd rich. Very good. read more

For how nice of a town this is, absysmal shop. Horrible layout, understaffed and undertrained staff that forgot multiple orders (including mine) leading to excessive wait. Have seen faster workers in a retirement community. read more

Leelanau Coffee Roasting - Cold brew that they forgot to make for me that tasted burnt even after adding stuff to it. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glen Arbor, Michigan

Great coffee shop! Went here two days in a row on a trip and enjoyed my coffee both times. The miel and cappuccino are delicious, along with the bagels. Don't be turned off by the low reviews--this is a solid choice! read more

Loved their espresso Frappuccino! I was hesitant that it may be too sweet for my liking (given my typical reaction to Starbucks traps) but this was just perfect. Definitely hit the spot on a hot summer day. My boyfriend got the traverse city cherry ice cream - also hit the spot on a hot summer day. Came back for seconds for an iced americano for the beach, which was also great! Loved their merch and design, too. read more

We stopped here after a hike and my husband (a bit of a coffee snob) praised his iced latte, so that's a legit recommendation. The service was prompt and attentive too. It's worth a stop if you're in Glen Arbor. read more

Maybe the worst latte I've ever tasted! Seriously.... What's surprising is the coffee beans blend we took home for our coffee maker was great! read more

I don't normally give bad reviews but this coffee was terrible. The espresso was so burnt and the service was very sporadic. Would not recommend getting coffee here. read more

The worst iced coffee I'd probably ever had. Looks promising but I promise you it's not. Had coffee grounds sitting in the bottom of my drink. read more

I've given this coffee shop two chances and they disappointed me both times. I got a vanilla iced latte and it was the worst thing I've ever tasted. do not come here. The place is cute and friendly, but do not be fooled. The coffee is terrible. read more

Stopped in to grab a coffee during a drive through Sleeping Bear Dunes. Its a great place to find some unique coffee flavors! I just got a regular brewed coffee and they had 3 or 4 different ones to choose from. I tried a blueberry roast. It was quite blueberry-like! Definitely recommend. read more

Two friends of mine have previously visited this place and recommended I check it out. I was on my way back to Cherry Capital Airport and got into Traverse City earlier than I expected - so I made the 40 minute drive over the Glen Arbor to see this place and get some coffee. I met Mike the owner and chatted with him for a few minutes, and got a cup of coffee to go. Nice guy and good coffee! They ship coffee beans mail order to where ever - so check out their coffee! read more

You really can't beat a small batch roastery. The variety that they offer is insane and extremely impressive especially for a local and independent shop. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful! Being that we love locally roasted coffee and are kind of coffee snobs, we asked for their best opinion and they knew exactly what we would enjoy. Plus they offer more than just coffee! Brewed to order coffees have such a finesse to the craft and it makes for such a delicious cup when made properly. We ended up leaving with an iced coffee, 1 pound of the Glen Arbor blend, 1/2 pound of the Sidamo, (a unique suggested bean recommended by one of the baristas) a sticker, (because I collect local coffee shop stickers) and a coffee bean burlap bag! We are very excited to try the roasts we got and if we love them we love having the peace of mind that they are also offered online! read more

Drove out of our way and they closed early. Multiple people trying to get in at 4:40 when we arrived. Supposed to close at 5.

Yummy Coffee! Fair prices. We bought a bag of whole bean snickerdoodle that I cannot wait to try once we get back home. Lots of seating available inside and out to enjoy your cup of Joe! Lady who helped us knew her stuff! read more

Owners might want to train servers to say thank you when a patron puts a nice tip or any tip into the jar. Tired of seeing this behavior

Amazing coffee!! We've been using them for two years and their customer service is amazing too with quick shipping!

These are no newcomers to the coffee roasting scene, they've been around 25+ years. Go for the Yrgacheffe; a great coffee with the unmistakable berry flavor. Not surprising, but we found buying beans and coffee at their store is waaaaay better than grounding their beans at a local grocery store. Much more fresh! read more

Great little spot in Glen Arbor for coffee, only open during the Summer season. But always enjoyable. I grabbed a cappuccino and a breakfast sandwich so that we could move fast. The Chorizo breakfast sandwich was great! read more

Really?? We show up at 8:45. My wife, son, brother in-law, and nephew go in to get a frozen coffee drink and smoothie for the kids. They place the order, wait several minutes and get their drinks and then they tell them they have NO STRAWS! Ok just try to drink your smoothie and frozen mocha drink without a straw. I'll just tip up the cup and see where it all lands. Just a thought if your not smart enough to count and keep straws for your drinks then maybe tell the patrons before they order them! I wonder what's taking so long so I stroll in at 8:55 and as soon as the girl sees me she says " just so you know we close at 9:00". Really ?? You in a big hurry to chase out your customers? Your open till 9:00 right? Well it's not 9:00 yet. You people better get it together. read more

A gracious and charming young guy delivered out lukewarm lattes. Our order took at least 25 minutes to arrive. The English muffins had been put on the griddle with rancid tasting butter(?). Once again reminded us why we don't eat here. Highly NOT recommended. read more

Never online order!! My family and I have been coming here for years and their service quality has diminished greatly over the past few years. That has never stopped us from wanting to support this local shop, but today was too much. We online ordered to make it simple for us parents traveling with 4 kids, and ended up waiting 40 minutes for an order that we were told would take 10. Normally I wouldn't mind the wait, but watching person after person waiting in line go past us and leave and the manager of the shop walking past me many times and never doing anything to help, just felt like a waste of time and a slap in the face. I had even asked for a refund at one point and was told that the cashier had no idea how to handle that. I do not blame him for that, but defer this blame to management for their lack of training as well as attentiveness of their shop. Unfortunately, we will never be coming back here after a 20 year tradition of stopping while we are in Glen Arbor. read more
