    My husband enjoyed the Great coffee, pastry and friendly service! Loved sitting on the outside deck overlooking the marina. I enjoyed hot green tea!

    Great view!

    I ordered a medium size latte which came as a small latte in a medium size cup. The scones were overcooked and tasteless.

Inside the cafe is a gift shop filled with art, apparel, and fun local items like shirts and sweatshirts, which was fun to browse. You place your coffee order at a little window outside, at least during the fall when we visited; I am honestly not sure how it works in the winter months. When we arrived, there was a decent line of people waiting, which we took as a good sign. Clearly, this spot is popular. I had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded good, but I ended up choosing the Harvest Moon Latte ($6.25). It had a good mix of brown sugar and spice flavor, and I did enjoy it overall, but the espresso was slightly more bitter than I typically prefer, and the drink was not very sweet despite the brown sugar flavor. Ultimately, I am glad I ordered it hot because the whipped cream on top melted into the drink and added a bit of sweetness, which helped balance the flavor. The staff did an excellent job handling the crowd and keeping things moving smoothly, even with a lot of people waiting for drinks. Since we had a large group, we were lucky enough to grab seats at the long outdoor table with swing seats, which was such a fun and unique feature. The outdoor seating area, in general, is cool and adds to the laid-back, artsy vibe of the cafe. Overall, Woosah is a great stop for coffee with a fun atmosphere and unique setup. It is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Since I was in the area, I wanted to check it out. It's SO cute! Their seating area is all outdoors and I love the hammocks and swing seating - it's just so so unique. I got a iced coffee with their banana syrup *my personal fav* and my wife got the seasonal Campfire Coldbrew. I planned to get the banana bread latte, but they were having issues with their espresso machine, unfortunately. The employee working was patient and helped me figure out how to pivot from my original order. We both loved our coffees and it was so nice to be able to go down to the beach since it was so close. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a yummy coffee with a unique environment. Also always LOVE being able to support an LGBTQ+ owned business!

They had a cute little shop with some cool items geared towards an active outside woodsy lifestyle. Unfortunately, the espresso machine was out of order when we were there so they were limited on hot drinks. We did get a puppy latte for our fur baby & an iced caramel coffee for me. We also purchased some other items in the store. We really enjoyed the unique outdoor setting with a hammock and swingset tables. I wish we could've tried more off the drink menu... oh yeah, our pup LOVED her puppy latte!

While the place may not have had AmBiAnCe it was exactly what we were looking for-- a cute cafe with outdoor seating; it also had a nice view of the strip and some pretty trees to shade you. I got the lobster roll both times and would go back for a third with no remorse. Our group also tried the gyro wrap and some salad options. Only set back was their side options were chips or spinach (no dressing). I really, really hate when chips are the side option. Just don't. My friend will be back in Michigan in July & she's been to the same rental for 25 years. She's never eaten at Fresh Basil because there are lots of dining options but now she's excited to take her family there and make a new tradition!

The quality of food was not good and hummus wrap and classic bagel sandwich were underwhelming. The wrap was 96% lettuce and then hummus and tomato's making up the rest of it. The bagel sandwich reminded me of a rubber grocery store or gas station sandwich. We were one of the first customers of the day and the girl working the counter was also rude and seemed so annoyed that we were there. The inside doesn't give the cleanest vibe either... Overall, the name is super misleading. I don't recommend. Opposite of "fresh".
