A must-try if around the area. I knew from the photos of the lattes that these folks have their microfoam right. The syrups are all made in-house which is a HUGE check mark. There is a drive thru + beautiful and plentiful spaces to sit with plenty of light. The staff and owners were so incredibly friendly. I had a latte with Cardamom and brown sugar. It was lovely. The design of their coffee cups is beautiful and suits the aesthetic indoors. And lastly, it was Easter weekend when I visited and I stumbled upon the most amazing egg hunt of my life. The staff hid plastic eggs around the store, and plenty. They encouraged us to find 1 each and I won a $15 gift card and my partner won a beautiful, re-usable glass. The gesture of seeing the owners give back to their community and seeing them welcome us passerbyers to partake in the fun meant so much. Everywhere I go in the world, I stop at local coffee shops. This was one of the most memorable of my hundreds of experiences. read more

The coffee is wonderful, however, the sandwich that I bought was covered in large slices of onion, much larger than any normal sandwich would include. I pulled out almost four pieces of red onion that were larger than the size of a quarter. The turkey cranberry sandwich I ordered tasted more like an onion sandwich. :(( read more

Highly recommend!! We stopped here on a "google coffee search" and soooo happy we did! All of our coffees were perfect, the orange cardamon croissant was to die for and the staff were all very friendly!! Will definitely stop in again when in the area!!!!! read more

Stopped in during a vacation earlier this summer. We got two iced drinks- a brownstone latte and a caramel coast latte. Coffee was just ok- priced fairly. Was expecting more from a small shop. The retail stuff inside was really cute!! If we weren't in a rush I would have taken more time to browse. read more

I have been visiting my sister in the area and this spot has been a family favorite forever. It's small, but quaint. The breakfast sandwiches were on point, which was nice because they are a little spendy at $7 a pop. Cold brew flight was meh for $15, but I appreciate the effort and the opportunity to taste test. Overall employees were nice and I loved the vibe. I'd definitely recommend. read more

Great staff, amazing pastries, however the espresso was sour and acrid. I cant even finish it. Perhaps the extraction/temperature is off.

Upon entering, you're greeted with a sunny setting and a mixture of seating options. The staff was friendly and responsive! I ordered one of their signature lattes (with maple and brown sugar). When I got it, it was too espresso-forward for me and not sweet enough so when I asked for the barista to add more flavoring she was so gracious! FYI that if you like your beverages on the sweeter side, add for more flavoring when you order. The baked goods are to die for! We got a slice of blueberry lemon bread and a blueberry scone. All baked locally and delicious. We also purchased 2 sandwiches that were wrapped in a "grab and go" section. Looking forward to trying them tomorrow. They serve ice cream, smoothies, etc. as well for none-coffee drinkers. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Was vacationing in the area recently an pretty much the first thing we scope out in any area is--where's the coffee? Not that we couldn't make coffee at our airbnb cabin, of course, but local coffee shops are always a must on any vacation (that and local bookshops, but I digress). We stopped by here on a couple of occasions. Once for a quick cuppa and to dash out to adventure around the area and a second time to come sit and enjoy a cup over a couple games of cribbage. It's great for both. It's a small shop with a few tables inside as well as a few umbrella adorned tables outside. We sat for a bit outside (lovely) and then when the rain started, headed inside for a cozy afternoon of coffee and cribbage (also lovely). The service is incredibly friendly and the coffee menu is varied. Get to it! read more

Lovely and cozy! My favorite place to go when I'm home for the holidays. Their drinks are always delicious and they have great coffee specials and ice cream! We go almost every day we are home. Everyone is so friendly too! read more

If you need a warm and cozy latte on a rainy Lake Superior day, look no further. This tiny gem had it all. Ambiance 5 - cozy lake vibe Service 5 - staff was friendly, attentive and helpful Drinks 5 - awesome white chocolate oat milk latte. Delish. Also enjoyed the peppermint lavender latte. read more

We hit the drive thru for a quick cup of Joe before exploring town while on a camping trip, the wait was a bit long (about 10mins with two cars ahead of us), but the coffee was good! I only ordered one iced coffee, it tasted about the same quality as any big coffee chain- nothing spectacular but will get you a caffeine jolt if you need it:) Parking was limited unless you wanted to drive down the street a bit, but if you do the drive thru it's not a problem. read more

They made us some great lattes! Worth the construction detours. We also had some small scoops of ice cream, delicious.

Coffee hit the spot in such a critical way and the barista was so friendly and informative of the area. The road that the shop was on was under road construction so I had to park a block away.. I highly, highly recommend. Delicious brew. read more

10/10 good frappe tastes like actual coffee service is really good they even gave us punchcards buy 10 get 3$ off next order ambiance is really good again 10/10 read more

Nice coffee shop. You can park close on a side street - still doing road work. Took me a minute as I'm not local but easy enough. My Chai was made right and timely. Nice tables inside and a few outside. Brought in my laptop and chilled. Stop in. read more

Their pastries are good, but i was going for breakfast because there are very few options in town. The bacon biscuit sandwich was good except for that strange pepper sauce mixed in. The sausage biscuit did not come with that and most certainly was divine. read more

A delight....really. Nice atmosphere and seating areas (indoor & out). Positive staff (oh-just let me give you guys a huge tip), not minding that it was my first visit in & not sure what to try. A little more spendy than other spots, but worth it. When we drive by, we always see a long line of cars. Now I see why. Check it out, or swing by their drive thru window....they offer ice cream as well read more

Our go-to coffee place on the peninsula. Specialty drinks are always made to order, and they seem to have enough help to keep the line moving even with the drive-through. Outdoor seating is nice in summer. Breakfast sandwiches are tasty but our favorite is their made-ahead sandwiches. read more

Pricy but good! cute shop, good choices, friendly staff. Wish they were open for Sunday coffee dates with family and friends read more

Great cup of coffee after a cold hike. Staff was really nice and it was a quaint spot with a personal touch.

I'm def a fan! This place is just a cute, my friends and I were driving through and couldn't help but stop. I ordered a small soy mocha and it was good! A little sweet but they do use gherradelli chocolate. Something that surprised me was their fridge sandwich. I picked up their ham and pesto and it was so good! 5bucks and there was also a nice aioli on it. Overall it was great My friend also grabbed one of their ice cream sandwiches and it was awesome! Huge portioned and a good cookie to ice cream ratio. I would def stop by here again when I come back to visit! read more

While on the way to Bayfield, WI, I was disappointed that there is no caribou or a starbucks. Then we found this coffee shop on a billboard and went to this coffee shop - it is right there on the main road so it is pretty easy to find. We ordered a whole milk latte - about a $1 less than the big chains and served in a nice coffee cup (Ceramic) Then the Kids saw ice cream and wanted to have ice cream - so we got 3 kid cones. Coffee: Really really awesome - Waaaay better than the stuff in Caribou, with great small town hospitality and service. Ice Cream: we tried a bit of the ice cream and we found it to be really good. So, while driving to Duluth - we intentionally took a 20 minute extra drive just to visit this place and all of us had some ice creams. So, I am glad there are no caribou and starbucks here and hope they do not get to this town. This town is blessed to have a place like this. If you live in Wisconsin or Minnesota - if you make a trip just to visit this coffee shop - I will tell you that it is worth it. read more

Great coffee & really nice staff. Might come back for ice cream. Too bad their beautiful dining room is closed but you can order inside & they have a nice patio. read more

My wife and I went to North Coast and loved it. She's a coffee snob and I'm not a huge fan and we both loved our coffees and lemon poppyseed muffin. Get the caramel mocha! read more

Friendly service and nice place to hang out. They have a drive thru that was always busy. I got the Caramel Coast, really good if you like salted caramel. read more

I am very picky about the one cup of coffee I drink each day, North Coast Coffee did not disappoint. I enjoyed my cappuccino (although slightly overpriced). The service was with a smile and I watched the counter person treat several older customers with great kindness. They have a small seating area inside that is very clean and homey (they even have games). There is outside seating as well. I was glad to be able to use their WiFi. I will be back! read more

My wife and I stopped in North Coast Coffee while exploring the great northwest of Wisconsin. Cute place -- nice quiet sitting area, plenty of room to relax and unwind especially on a cool late spring day. The scones were phenomenal and the chai tea latte was piping hot and flavorful. I am sure we'll be back in Washburn on a return trip to Apostle Islands -- it's good to know we have a solid local coffee shop to visit while in the area. read more

I'm a big fan, yet I am a big fan of coffee shops in general! This is something, in my eyes, that Washburn needed. A little coffee shop that serves traditional style coffee and espresso drinks. Very tasty, and made pretty good. I always get a cappuccino... it never fails! (or cold press) It was made just the way I like it. They also had some really good raspberry scones last time I went here. I was highly impressed! They have a pretty big menu, and their prices are pretty low..a lot lower than some here in the cities.. that's for sure! The only thing that I hated, was, when I went in once last winter on my drive back to the cities, I really wanted some cold press.. They didn't have it. It is seasonal here, which makes sense. Washburn is a pretty small town. I really cannot imagine how many people actually stop in daily and want cold press in the wintertime! Overall, it is a classy little place, perfect for small one-on-one meetings, and great coffee! read more

Huge fan of their ghiradelli mocha! We were headed up to the ice caves and needed a cup of real coffee on the way. The bathroom was super small- had trouble fixing my pants up afterwards due to the narrowness of it. But it was clean. The staff was friendly And fast. I also purchased a bag of whole Beans and loved the Peru roast. Overall a cozy, cute little coffee shop with nice seating, local crafts for sale and excellent Drinks! We will be back. read more

Friendly staff ,tall cup of coffee and great nachos and mushroom/bree soup. Its been two years sence I have been here last and every thing is still great. Dog friendly read more

Great ice cream, great coffee! We visited twice while on vacation in the area. Employees at the drive-through window were friendly and efficient. I recommend! read more

We are spending a few days just outside of Washburn and tried North Coast multiple times despite their inability to take an order correctly. We ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and Iced Decaf Americano. One day they had to remake the Americano three times to get it right. First it was hot, then it came out with creamer and finally they got it kind of right. Today my wife had to yell the corrections to her order over the drive thru attendants shoulder because she could not remember the order correctly. They work in a pinch but beware. read more

Small place, friendly staff, decent coffee. What's not to like?

What a hidden gem! Great coffee and chai! Atmosphere is adorable; warm and cozy! A must stop when in this area!

Good ghiradelli mocha ! Made it in soy and it turned out really good! My friend got a cappuccino which again was great! They seem to get the sweetness right on their coffees. The folk don't seem that friendly but again the review is for the food that what mattered today. read more

This is our stop in place when we travel to Bayfield. Love the espresso coffee and snacks, which can be hard to find in this part of WI. Also easy to do the drive through experience for the car trip home. Great service. read more

Got my Matcha Latte fix! Lots of snack & food offerings. Outdoor seating too. Cute place & friendly helpful staff! I'll be back with my teens! read more

I decided to check out the coffee shop based on the previous positive reviews. Unfortunately, the staff member working the morning I visited was not friendly. She seemed rather annoyed when I asked a few questions. However, I noticed she was a lot nicer to the locals that came and went throughout the morning. Even though it's pretty chilly outside, I still expect a coffee shop to be warm enough to take off my coat. The place was small and the temp. inside was chilly. My fingers were so cold I could barely even type on my computer. I even wore my coat and scarf the whole two hours I was there. As an individual who has worked at a few coffee shops in the past and have also frequented many in the US, CAN, and EU, I was very disappointed. If you're looking for a warm, cozy, and quiet place to work in the area, skip North Coast Coffee and drive to the coffee shops in Ashland. read more
