    Coffee bar
    Izzy W.

    Loved this little place! Definitely our favorite coffee shop we stopped at during our UP roadtrip. All of the merch they sold was adorable and I loved all of the illustrations they had on their clothing, stickers, magnets, etc. We ended up getting 2 stickers for $3 each. For coffee we tried the pancake latte (maple syrup and butter) and the stella stellar (chai, cinnamon, espresso and caramel). The pancake latte was yummy but a bit lacking in the maple flavor I was expecting. But the Stella Stellar was to die for and perfect for our fall morning. It was really cool to see the history of the place and to see the VW bus that they used to run the shop out of fully. We stopped out back to see the bus and to say hi to the shop dog Toivo (what a cutie!). Service was quick and kind. Love supporting small local businesses and I hope they see continued success in the years to come!

    This place is a godsend!!! Was here in this town at the campground with the Grandkids while exploring the UP this summer (horrible campground) by the way, read my other reviews!!! I would never go there again. But this place is literally almost across the street from it and this place is only one of two highlights of this whole community, The staff was friendly every day and this store and gift shop is quaint, they had lots of different options, and the grand kids seemed to enjoy all the little things and knick knacks and doo dads they had. I enjoyed the different coffees and the fruit drinks they made, Very neat spot. The VW bus was iconic, I had one like this in the 70's and it brought back some memories. My wife definitely got lots of swag from this place. She was rocking a new shirt or sweatshirt I felt every morning we were here. It was a little pricey, I mean you're not Starbucks! But not terribly bad. The homemade snacks were good, I feel like this place could open multiple locations in the area and be very successful, I went to a coffee place in Muncing. And it took them 2 days to realize they actually had decaf. So The Dream Bean Machine for the win!

    This is the absolute cutest little coffee shop I've ever been to. The owner runs it out of a VW van but also has an actual gift shop attached to it! I did not get a coffee since I was about to go on a hike, but everything on the menu looked really good. I would also highly recommend checking out the shop inside, and it's also an online store! The owner also had her dog, Toivo, outside on this sunny day and it is the nicest, sweetest dog ever. Always give bonus points if there's friendly animals around!

    Looking for a coffee shop on my recent trip to Grand Marais and stumbled into this gem. Coffee is great with milk alternatives available. Love this place!

    OMG the happy monkey smoothie made me so happy. Chocolate, peanut butter and banana with a sprinkling of coffee nibs made a absolutely perfect smoothie! My companion got the mango banana ( left one in the photo) which was good, but not as amazing.

    Amazingly nice people. Cute shop and found the perfect Pictured Rocks coffee cup. Nothing like getting coffee out of a VW bus.

    So cute! We both got espresso drinks and they were delicious. Sad the cinnamon rolls were sold out, but the coffee was good on its own.

    Where do I even start? BEWARE OF BRANDON BROWN‼ The first time i walked into Moose Du Nord (so Day…read more1 of my experience), there was a younger girl working. My friend and I got drinks, and before even touching anything, she ASKED WHAT KIND OF MILK (like normal drink making businesses usually do) & she was very sweet and reminded us they also have cold foam, i asked her for oat milk due to me having a sensitivity with dairy (i am not lactose intolerant just to be clear, but whole milk makes me NAUSEOUS) Day one went perfectly fine with no issues at all. Day 2 I go in & Brandon Brown is working. I only know of him, because it's a small town and some people tend to stand out more than others, not always in a good way...anyways, i walk in and say hi. I am immediately dismissed/ignored and stared at for five whole minutes, while we were looking at the menu, because I was honestly taken aback by the blatant ignorance, and for no reason? We order the same thing as the day before, but I was distracted by the interaction between us and this person, so I forgot to ask for oat milk. He made the drinks iced instead of a frappe, but I wasn't upset, I let him help the man in line, and then politely said "we ordered these as frappes," and he remade them very efficiently, and we waited for our other friend that was ordering. The drink itself was delicious, so I didn't notice the whole milk until over half way in, because I tend to drink my beverages rather quickly. I felt nauseous, like I was about to throw up the entire drink, because he was too ignorant to even say hi or use this thing called customer service. In my experience with businesses that make drinks like that, I have ALWAYS been asked what kind of milk I prefer, he was not interested in caring about any of that, let alone even greeting the people walking in. That is not personality, that is pure ignorance, and if that's what him and his friends want to defend, I think that says A LOT about them ALL. We went back the next day, because there was a different girl working. SHE ASKED what kind of milk we wanted, BOTH OF US. We met up with two more friends and ordered pizza later that day, again, because we thought he wasn't working, otherwise I would have CANCELED our $70 order (large cheese sticks, large dill pickle pizza, and a medium gluten free chicken bacon ranch pizza), mind you the gluten free crust is a $6 up charge and the medium pizzas are like $20 already. I put our order in, ten minutes later, he walks out, and I immediately regret my order. We wait 40 minutes (told us it would be about 25). Brandon hands us our food, so again i'm thrown off because of our last interaction, and yes this is my fault, but I forgot to ask for extra marinara (not knowing that the cheese sticks didn't even come with any) and ranch. I hope everyone knows that I tried to contact the manager and/or owners to address this issue, just to get no answer or call back; and to find out that they actually EXCUSE AND ENCOURAGE this behavior, and he will be working there with his horrible attitude and customer service in the meantime, so I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

    I loved this little coffee shop so much that we visited twice in three days while staying at our…read morefriends' cabin near Manistique. The menu is pretty large, with lots of options for coffee and non-coffee drinkers. The first visit I got a medium iced latte with English toffee syrup. They told me that the medium lattes have two shots of espresso and asked if that was okay - appreciated that check in (and it was definitely okay!). The latte was good, I was hoping for a bit stronger espresso flavor, but it did the trick. Nate got the Yooper latte, which was a s'mores flavored drink that was sweet and delicious. On our next visit, I got an iced coffee with vanilla cold foam, which was so tasty! Nate got a cappuccino that was nicely balanced. The employees we interacted with (younger, students?) were all SUPER polite and friendly. Great customer service! The shop is cute and rustic and they have items for sale like mugs, shirts, stickers, cards, etc. I'll be back!

    We love our small town coffee shops and we're hopeful when we stepped into The Grind Coffee House…read more First impressions are important and, unfortunately, this little coffeeshop was less than impressive. It was busy with very little order or space to serve customers well. The 3-person staff were hustling to work the counter and the drive thru but it all looked and felt chaotic on an August Friday around 11:15 am. The casual vibe was overshadowed by a general lack of organization and intention in appearance. For a small space, there was too much clutter. The photos here display the best features: good detail on drinks to order, hardworking staff behind the counter, and a lovely, positive thought. Cleanliness also left something to be desired. Looks like a good deep clean is in order. We ordered two mochas as we have been traveling the UP this past week and stopping in a new local coffeeshop daily in search of the best mocha. We were disappointed by these mochas: warm but not hot, thin and runny, way too sweet. Even the small decaf brewed coffee was meh. Our standards are high and most other small town coffee shops in the UP have exceeded them. The hardworking staff were the best part of this experience and deserve a shout out. The place is busy (little competition in the area) and apparently not well-run.
