The perfect way to start the day...delicious coffee and a wonderful variety of food options. Pastries, bagels, sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches.... I was so pleasantly surprised to find this place. My fiancé and I went here the morning after going to Cedar Point, before we started our drive home. It's also in a fantastic location! Right by the waterfront. So glad we stopped in this gem before leaving Sandusky! :) read more

Very much unexpected in a small town. The place has a nice high ceiling, good coffee, lots of fancy coffee and cold drink selections! Cheaper than Starbucks and even has Apple pay!! read more

WORST service ever!! if you want to be treated like crap, this is the place to go! i walked in and was treated very rudly by sarah the owner. She had such an attitude with me because i didn't have a mask on. If she wouldn't have been so arrogant about it, i may have walked bavk to the car to get it, but her attitude....She incinuated that i don't have enough money to spend there. she is very very unprofessional and incredibly snotty. She acted as though she was better than me and that is no way to treat a customer that had planned on spending quite a bit of money there. read more

This is my favorite coffee shop ever! All the staff and owners are extremely nice and makes this place what it is. The atmosphere is awesome and you feel at home. read more

Mr Smith's Coffeehouse - Just part of their decor.... they sell local artist painting and photography. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

wonderful latte and quiche for brekkie today! i am used to high quality coffee - rising star in CLE and places like Huckleberry in Denver and Pachamama in Sac. i vouch for this local spot to get your caffeine fix - and the baristas know what they're doing. cold brew looked good too. read more

Located right in the heart of downtown Sandusky. Great coffee drinks and lots of amazing unique flavors! The food (breakfast and sandwiches) are amazing as well. read more

Recently went here with a friend for lunch on a Saturday. Immediately thought it was cute and charming, which was in stark comparison to some of the surrounding area. There was a nice view of the water, though! I had the greek chicken wrap which came with chips and a pickle. The wrap was freshly made and filling, with grilled chicken, feta, hummus, and wilted spinach. If I lived closer to the area, I would certainly consider turning this into a 'go-to' working spot. Highly recommend if you're in the area looking for a quick lunch, but be careful: they close early on Saturdays! read more

One of the finest breakfasts around. Had the croissant and flatbread and both were freash and phenomenal. The specilty coffees were delicious as well. A solid espresso. Very friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. Would return any time. read more

The egg and cheese English muffin was really good and they had a nice coffee selection. Friendly staff.

This is one of the best coffee shops in Northern Ohio hands down.This biggest problem that doesnt get them five stars are the hours.During the week they closed way to early like 6pm and on sunday they dont open at all.I like the cinnamon bagels and Mocha Lattes are what I order the most.I wish they would be open for longer hours but this is Sandusky Ohio. read more

See all

Went there twice while in Sandusky for vacation. Stayed nearby @ the lofts and could walk there. Great selection of breakfast items including breakfast sandwiches, bagels, muffins and pastries. The coffees are great and the service is excellent. The open space inside to relax before a day out to the islands or Cedar Point. This place is a hidden gem! read more

They are so great here. Very nice people, good lemonade, good mochas, good food. I considered trying a new place (I come here when I visit family), but thankfully someone posted a nasty review of Mr Smith's just for flying a rainbow flag during pride month (oh the horror), and that made me decide, why fix what ain't broke? Keep being awesome Mr Smith's! read more

I got a vanilla cold brew and it was delicious! Such a cute place with a great atmosphere :)

This is by far the BEST coffee shop in Sandusky! If you are looking for great coffee and great breakfast and lunch food come check out Mr Smith's!! The owners Trent and Sara are wonderful people and are truly invested in the local community. read more

Fun coffee shop in downtown Sandusky. Neat old building, plenty of seating, great service and beautiful artwork covering the walls. The coffee is wonderful and their spinach quiche might very well be the best I've ever had anywhere. read more

Mr Smith's Coffeehouse - Mocha Latte...delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

I've giving two stars because the food is good, however, the people who own, operate and work there are beyond rude. The past two times I have been in, I felt like they would rather not have my business. I will not return regardless of the food. Would rather visit an establishment that appreciates their customers. read more

Love this Bohemian style Coffee House ! Great baked goods,salads,sandwiches & cheesecake read more

In from out of town. I pulled in lured by a sign for a smore and lavender latte. Let's just say the bait was well placed. Both were excellent. Love the vibe in this place, very chill and local business friendly. Also had the Carmel brownie and lemon pound cake. Delicious. read more

The good: Big shop with tons of space. great looking shop and plenty of seating. Staff was very friendly. The bad: The shop has fallen victim to the starbucks generation with syrups and flavors in everything. Perhaps this is the drive in the local market or my coffee snobbery, but they looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for latte. They responded with "which one?". I said "just a standard latte". I asked for a small and received a 16 oz cup. The espresso to milk ratio was good, however, the espresso was burnt. It reminded me of starbucks' roasts. I take my lattes with little sugar so the espresso was very pronounced and in my face. Also, most of their beans they use for drip coffee (no pour over or chemex here) are flavoured. They keep the beans in glass jars that are only sealed from the plastic ring around the top meaning that the roasts are most likely going stale. I didn't bother to look for roast dates as most of the roasts I saw had flavors associated with them (not notes, flavors). All in all, my negative review is only on the product. The atmosphere and location is great. If they could up their game on the actual coffee side my review would be different. If you like flavored coffees and syrups in your lattes you'll like this place. If you like simplicity and standard style coffees you're probably better off at starbucks. read more

Massive amount of breakfast food for $20, including a yummy breakfast sandwich. Nice, friendly, inviting airy atmosphere. Really big menu.

Love good coffee. Stopped in during bike week. We noticed a couple bikers sitting out front as we parked our bike. We were clean, well dressed but wearing Harley sweatshirts. The girl behind the counter ( with eyebrow piercings and visible tattoos) was insistent that we get our espressos "to go" we politely explained we would be staying to enjoy our drinks and sat down. We began playing chess. A few minutes later a man came in ( must have been a local shop owner or regular customer ) and announced "I see the circus is in town! Only the circus smells better!!" The people behind the counter laughed ... then he looked over and saw us and practically ran out of the shop. I think ALL bikers should stop in there and enjoy a cup of coffee while hanging out INSIDE. How rude of these people to treat us like that .... Good coffee AWFUL service and NO MANNERS! read more

My wife and I stopped by for coffee and a breakfast bagel this past week. Great little coffee shop surrounded by artists paintings for sale. The coffee's were great, and the sandwiches were too. If we find ourselves in downtown Sandusky, we'll stop back. read more

Could have used a little more butterscotch in the Butterbeer Latte. But the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the coffees yummy. The staff was cool under pressure when they got busy. They remind me of my favorite coffee shop in Athens, Donkey Espresso. Great experience will do again. read more

Nice coffee shop with an extensive drink menu and plenty of food choices. Comfortable and quiet working spaces available as well. Really enjoyed my time visiting here. read more

Mr Smith's has been around for years but for some reason I only started going this year. Now my husband and I go at least once a week if not more. The staff is always extremely friendly. I love the vibe of the place. Our kids even love to go. Highly recommend. 5 stars across the board... I recommend the breakfast Croissant! read more

ive been to sandusky three times and know this used to be two other places. i had a black bean burger. i opted to oust the bun and go with a jalapeño wrap and cole slaw as a side. the burger wrap was small but tasty. im not sure how they propsed the wrap to be anything jalapeno-like...it was yellow and not spicy at all. the cole slaw was tasty as well. appeared to be locals doing their thing. free wifi artwork on the walls available for sale. read more

Fantastic atmosphere inside and a gorgeous view of the Lake Erie shoreline from their bistro tables set up outside. The coffee is also on par with the best of Northern Ohio in my opinion with better than average micro foam. Well worth the drive away from Cedar Point if you're in town visiting. read more

Strong coffee, a lot of choice, friendly staff. One star off for the interior is quite dark without windows.

Great first date started at Mr. Smith's! Met a man on Match.com who lives in the Cleveland area and I live in the Toledo area, so we decided to meet halfway in-between. I looked at the reviews on Yelp and picked Mr. Smith's. Went an additional step and e-mailed them and told them the story. With rain in the forecast, they reserved a small table in the front private room for us since we could not sit outside. Coffee was awesome!!!! So was the date!! After strolling around downtown Sandusky, having lunch, afternoon crab cakes, beer, and watching the sunset, our first date ended 12 hours later. Thanks, Mr. Smith's!!!! read more

Much better than Starbucks whether you're looking for a simple cup of coffee or a fancy flavored latte. Not to mention the menu of delicious, relatively healthy (with vegetarian options). Great staff, great atmosphere. read more

The atmosphere, the sandwiches and wraps, the desserts and above all the coffee make this one of the nicest places downtown Sandusky. My wife and I make it a point to stop by and have a quick bite or a nice lunch whenever we are downtown. Truly a delightful place in our city. By the way, the inside is decorated with art and photos of local artists, most of it for sale. It is never the same, it is always delightful. read more

Favorite place to get coffee locally. Everything about this business is solid. The coffee is great, they have a wide variety of options to choose from, and the staff is friendly and prompt. It's an added bonus that, aside from truly great coffee, the business also does what it can to help the community. They hang the art of local students and artists in town as a way for them to make more sales, and they also accept donated books as a way to encourage the general public to sit with their coffee and pick up a book. No complaints. read more

This is what a great local coffee shop should be. A few food options to accompany delicious beverages and locals hanging around the seating area chit-chatting. I love the place and I believe most locals do. The barrista's are completely unpretentious which is such a wonderful change from the chains. This is an establishment where a person who has no idea what the difference between a latte and an espresso can go to discover a new favorite. Seasonal features are also suggested to mix things up if you are courageous enough to step outside of your caffeine zone. read more

I am visiting my parents from Florida. They told me about this wonderful coffee shop in downtown Sandusky. They go there about once a week and bring family with them about every other visit. We had gone here three times in the last two weeks. Employees were kind and helpful. The food and coffee are what you would expect from an upscale city coffee house. Today, we went in to order and were waited on by the owner. I am legally blind and cannot see the menu on the wall. I asked what sugar free coffee flavorings they had and was directed rather shortly to a paper menu located in pocket of the counter that was almost on the floor. Ok. That was a little unexpected, but ok. While I was looking at the menu, my dad asked about two different types of house coffee that were both medium roast. He asked what the difference was between the two. His very impatient reply was, " The description of each is on the air pot." My dad said that he was just looking for a little help. The owner replied that he would just have to try them out. My dad asked , how would he do that, are you giving samples? The guy said, no, you buy a cup and you don't like it, you buy another cup. By this time, my dad was irritated and told the owner to forget it. We left and got coffee at Starbucks. 1. The owner should have been able to state the types of sugar free flavorings. 2. He should know enough about his coffees to explain the difference to a customer. 3. His whole attitude was rude. He obviously. Couldn't or didn't want to take the time to answer a few basic questions about the coffee. Why does he have a coffee house if he isn't willing to promote his products? I don't think my parents or our family will go back. Customer service is a key factor in any business. I hope Mr. Smith can figure this out. read more

Great coffee shop in the Sandusky area . My husband and I like to frequent "mom and pop" shops even when out on vacation. We visited here twice in one day. I had a croissant breakfast sandwich with ham and it was so yummy! The Mayan chocolate was nothing short of amazing! My husband really enjoyed his Americano. We will be back when we visit this are again. read more

This place is amazing! Way better than any other place in Sandusky area! When you walk in... You feel welcome, and at home! Great place to go if you just want a coffee to go (usually not too busy) or want to sit and chill with a brew in your hand! Would recommend to anyone and everyone! Best of all the business is LOCALLY owned. I would give it 10 stars if I could! read more

Good place to visit in Sandusky's downtown, had a family breakfast there. The cheese panini & muffins were delicious
