    Everything was so fresh! Interesting settings that the tables are placed within a art gallery/ceramic store. Great service, menu, food and drink! Can't go wrong with any dish. The earth bowl surprised me with how good it was when all the ingredients combined together. I wish I know how they made the wild rice and the eggplants!

    They gave us this toy pony to mark our table.

    Very unique menu! We've been twice so far and have tried a variety of different dishes but a couple have fallen short flavor-wise.

    I love my coffee, so when I travel, I always seek out a local roaster, and I am SO GLAD that I…read morefound Uncommon during my first visit to Lake Michigan! I'd come across them while doing my HW for the trip, but without really knowing the area, I'd thought that staying in South Haven meant I wouldn't get the chance to visit, but after stopping in to The Flying Saucer in South Haven and picking up their beans there for the house, I learned everything is kinda close on this part of the coast! This is their main location, right in the heart of Saugatuck. It's cozy and colorful, warm and inviting, and filled with some incredibly sweet people. Oh yeah. They have A LOT of great coffee too! Their specialty and seasonal drinks all sounded delicious, but I'm a purist in pursuit of the best cup of black coffee, here for the single origins and blends that are sourced and roasted by this skilled team. Walking in I was faced by a massive wall filled with beautiful bags of beans from all over the world, each labeled with notes on origin, processing and flavor profile. I set my sights on a pour over and when the cashier said I could choose anything from the wall, I was gobsmacked (that's a funny word). The range was so impressive, with great representation from all over the world, processed in all different ways, making the choice quite difficult. It's a good thing I used my time in line to look at all of the options, and I settled on a white honey processed coffee called Villa Sarchi, which was delightful. If I have one quibble it's that they didn't have an actual pour over menu and this is simply because I enjoy asking the baristas about the coffees. This spot is super hot, with a line out the door at all times, so despite the barista at the counter being incredibly accommodating, I couldn't in good conscience hold up the patrons behind me with too many questions or returns to the wall. I also tried their espresso lime tonic for a beverage to stroll with and enjoyed the slight sweet and tart drink very much on a hot day. Uncommon also has a great menu of food offerings and we had a bagel breakfast sandwich and one of their MASSIVE savory scones. I wish I'd asked or been asked about warming the scone because it definitely needed it, but holy hell this thing was packed with cheesy goodness and the perfect foil to my naturally sweet coffee. Normally I go home with one bag of coffee as a souvenir, but I couldn't help but buy two, which were in addition to the beans I also bought in South Haven! In total I think I sampled about 5 different Uncommon roasts and loved them all! I loved this place so much I looked to buy merch, but sadly they had run out of the sizes I needed. There's always next time. Or maybe they'll ship...

    Very much looks the part, but was left wanting a little more tbh…read more First off, vibes wise: amazing. Beautiful old house converted to a coffee shop with a dreamy garden in the back. Incredible. Coffee wise: fair. I ordered a few specialty summer cold brews for my wife and I and they were tiny, and my wife's was well-made with cold foam and cinnamon, but mine barely had a dollop (I gave her the good one, aren't I a nice husband?) I got a black coffee on my second visit and it wasn't very good. Service: friendly but slow. I was SO glad to have pitcher on pitcher of cold brew back at the AirBNB so I didn't have to wait. The times I came, this place was popping and it (expectedly) took some time. Hours: I was out for an early morning walk in the six o'clock am hour and several other middle-aged to elderly people were circling like vultures waiting for their caffeine fix. I feel like in peak season bumping hours to 6 or even 6:30 might do numbers for them. Food: I ordered a buttered bagel for my kids the first time in and it took a long, long time. I think they forgot about it. It appeared to be a grocery store style bagel and was ok. I'm telling you, this place looks beautiful and it's got great energy. It just so happened the business and the coffee on just a few visits didn't quite land. I would definitely encourage folks to try it out, it just missed the mark more than I was hoping for.

    We stopped in on a rainy morning and fortunately was able to sit inside The seating is very limited…read moreinside, but there is outdoor seating. Respite Cappuccino Court is located in downtown Douglas. Their coffees are made with beans from Ferris Coffee and MadCap Coffee. We ordered a latte flight- Lavender Honey, Vanilla Carmel and Golden Dune. Since our order was to eat in, I expected the lattes to be served in a coffee mug, instead of paper to go cups. The Lavender Honey was my favorite and is one of their signature lattes. It was made with rich, bold espresso with a custom-crafted lavender honey syrup. I had the Lavender Honey Toast . It was very good and the lavender was not overpowering. The toast was French bread, spread with velvety house-made goat cheese mousse infused with lavender, and topped with a drizzle of honey. My husband had the Tourist Wrap Panini. A combination of egg, bacon, avocado with a tomato aioli spread. Food was served in a box. Overall, the food and drinks were very good, presentation could have been improved.

I even brought my pups with me so I posted them outside by the bench. Respite had DELICIOUS sounding summer specials with blueberry, but I opted for cold brew (cold Brew made from our featured MadCap Bolt Coffee Blend for 12 hours or longer). I also ordered a granola bowl (Muesli) - it was pretty premium at $12 BUT it was freshly put together and a really good plain full fat yogurt with really nice fresh fruit. The muesli rocked too - tasted like some really good homemade ones!

    What a surprise. I knew it'd be good, but was not prepared for HOW good it was…read more Casual, laidback ambience. Easygoing, friendly, attentive staff. Incredible food that I'm Gibbs dream about for a few more nights yet. I had the walleye, my fiancée had the pot pie (called something else on the menu; I forget exactly what). She only didn't finish hers because she eats like a bird, but I finished hers even after I'd inhaled mine. I came even describe the flavors (except to say the horseradish mixed in the potato top of the pot pie is inspired!) I will just say that each bite hit the sweet, savory, and salty notes just right all at the same time. Can't forget to mention: the service was lovely. Our server was very kind, personable, and relaxed, and she offered us great recommendations, and boy am I glad I listened. I can't recommend this place enough. I hear the James Beard nominations may be snooping around, and they'd be right to.
