    Chocolate croissant and dark chocolate mocha, to die for!
    Cheryl S.

    If you are in East Tawas and need a light breakfast, lunch or delicious bakery snack with your coffee selection, definitely stop by Sunnyside Cafe. We are mocha snobs and this mocha was just perfect: rich dark chocolate, whole milk and espresso. Yummm! We also tried the dark chocolate croissants and a breakfast burrito. They were both delicious. Be cautioned that the burritos are very small and you will definitely want your own. Though we do not have any dietary needs, we were impressed with the vegan and gluten free options available to customers. Plant-based milks, an array of fresh-baked gluten free items and a cold case with chia breakfast oats, vegan berry pudding and other healthy cold salads and sandwiches. We tried the Lazy Toaster and would happily recommend this cafe, hands down. The staff knew their local customers and were very friendly and accommodating. Happy people create a genuinely happy vibe. You can feel the good vibes here. The ambience is warm and beckons you to stay a while; however, seating is limited. I enjoyed perusing the locally sourced items such as honey and maple syrup along with other health-oriented products such as essential oils. Excellent addition to Tawas. Please support this business.

    Fantastic local spot! We stopped in while passing through- it did not disappoint. They have some fun MI inspired flavors and great options. I got an Iced Carmel Latte, so good! My friend loved their coffee too. They have food options as well. There's indoor seating and the shop is attached to a bookstore. Would recommend!

    This was a quick pit stop that we made as we were leaving Tawas and what a cute little coffee shop this was! You will blink almost miss it as there are no major signs on the road, parking in the back, entrance on the side kind of vibe, so it's kind of a if you know, you'll know spot. The coffee shop also has a bunch of holistic and healthy pantry/fridge/freezer essentials that you can shop around for too, which was such a delightful touch. More coffee shops should have this! There were a ton of great options for those with dietary restrictions and my friend who is gluten free found a ton of goodies here that she purchased! The workers here were super friendly and welcoming as well and happily chatted with us as we browsed and placed our orders. I got their butterfly raspberry matcha, which I could tell was made lovingly! The drink wasn't the *best* as the matcha tasted not the best quality and a bit too watered down, but it was still solid. Had a good time here and love that they offered so many options in terms of pastries and other grab and go foods too like pre-made sandwiches. This is a great place for a pit stop and a pick me up if you're passing through, while also great for locals to stop in and pick up some essentials for their homes and a daily caffeine hit as well!

    Lovely little coffee shop, bakery, and community crossroads for other locally sourced items. A perfect spot to start your day, whether that be sunrise or lunchtime. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the service is quick and friendly. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the coffee is very good! A town without any brand name coffee emporiums, SunnySide Coffee makes a strong argument for why Tawas is better off without them. The business complements the vibe of the town, and visa versa..

    I LOVE this store! I could've spent hours in here and I passed up somethings I'll be going back…read morefor but I had to draw the budget line somewhere today! The young lady ringing me up and the older gentleman (owner?) making our coffee and lattes were both so friendly and helpful. (I kept adding on stuff and never felt ready to be done, lol) The latte was awesome btw! I'm very excited about the bath scrub and the kitchen essentials I bought... and the cans of different Michigan made drinks! (Can't wait to try the Crantini) I think I have to go back for this espresso set. Can't stop thinking about it I somehow didn't even get all of the aliolis in my cart. So much to see And a great dog too! Stop here!!!

    After a second poor experience in this store, I will not be returning nor will I recommend/refer to…read moreany friends or family. My husband, daughter, and I stopped in during the summer of 2020 because it looked like a cute shop. Not only were we followed around the store by who I presume were the owners, my husband was almost chastised for inquiring about a restroom. This year we decided to give it another chance because once again, it's a cute shop with cute items. I stopped to look at some of the beard products for my husband. I picked up a tin of beard balm, opened the UNSEALED lid to smell, and put it back. An older gentleman (the owner's husband per a young female employee) walked up to me out of nowhere and very condescendingly asked if I just broke the seal on the product and shook his head in disgust at me. I immediately went to find my husband and daughter to let them know we would be leaving. As I walked to the back of the store, the gentleman was speaking with a young female employee about me and what I had evidently just done to the product. I'm a grown woman who was raised with respect. Never would I ever pick up a product and intentionally damage it in any way just so I could smell it. I do not appreciate being treated this way as a customer and based on this place's Google reviews, a lot of other people don't appreciate it either. As a business owner, kindness goes a long way. Being rude, arrogant, and unpleasant is so off-putting and has just lost mine and countless friends/family member's business.

    Bigby coffee is a well known chain where this business is in line with other stores I have seen…read more Its a step up from the fast food and gas station options in the area but falls a tad short of the small privately owned coffee centric businesses in the area in my opinion in both quality and flavor of the beans. The issue with the small boutique coffee centric businesses in this area is they are not open every day with much shorter hours than Bigby which is a huge plus for Bigby's. Something I greatly appreciate and a nice convenience for the greater Oscoda area. You can always count on these guys to be open to get your hot cup of Joe daily. Nice! As far as what they offer, they have all the coffee drinks you would expect from a Barista operation with some food options to boot. They also open quite early (I believe around 5am) where the breakfast food offerings makes them a standout for this area for the early risers. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was quite friendly and had quick service where the inside dining area is quite clean with plenty of dining tables, two computer work station areas and some cushioned furniture seating area for a more comfortable experience. Overall, quite nice and a big plus for this business. If you are looking for good coffee in the area with reliable hours where depending on the day and time you can either go here or go to McDonalds/Burger King. Tough choice right (:

    tell me why I'm paying 14 dollars for two bagels for the guy making them never has given me a warm…read moreor hot bagel don't have a problem with anyone else other then the large guy that seems to always pull them out before there done and it's like I'm eating a icy bagel if ur gonna charge that much at least make it right
