The Owl is one of our favorite coffee stops on our way north to Michigan. The place has great ambience, a lively Saturday morning business, great coffees and lattes, decadent pastries, and terrific customer service. Each time I'm there I take a peek at their rotating/seasonal cocktail menu and always find things that are intriguing. Unfortunately, we are usually there at 10 AM, not PM! Maybe someday! read more

At one point, I literally felt bad for those who don't get the white chocolate hot chocolate. That drink was not expected, especially that white chocolate is the best chocolate ever even though it is nowhere. The bathroom (the one around the corner) is so cute, probably because there is only sunlight out the high up windows. Service is amazing ! read more

This place is a great alternative to Starbucks. The drinks are always great and the coffee/hot coco is always hot and tasty. They never have forgot anything in my order and the service is always quick. The overall vibe and ambience is great with local bands playing music occasionally and the holiday decorations and lights make it feel very cozy. Also this place has a pretty great bar and great drinks. Perfect study place as well, also some free WiFi as well. Overall this place is amazing do recommend read more

The Owl - Yum!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milan, Michigan

This hip place located in downtown Milan serves coffee (frozen and hot), tea, beer, and wine. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy. It's a fairly large place with both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside there are dining type tables and an area near the front window with a couch and two comfy chairs. It's those comfy chairs that welcomed me! Dave and I both ordered a frozen caramel mocha, since it's our favorite and we wanted to "play it safe". The employee went out of his way to make them just right for us. Whipped cream? Salt on top? Of course, we said yes to both. The salt on top was so yummy!! Although we mainly tasted it towards the end of the drink, it was the perfect ending to a delicious drink. If you are in the area, check out this unique coffee shop! There is street parking or a parking lot across the street. If we are passing by, we will stop in again! read more

Went to the owl for the first time to get a coffee this morning, ended up getting a nitro iced coffee and a blueberry scone. Both were excellent! Service was fast and very friendly! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Stopped in while in town. I'll just say Marlene makes fabulous drinks. We'll be back!

Delightful place to come for coffee in the morning and a cocktail or beer in the evening. They never disappoint!

Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Innovative coffee drinks and a good selection of beers for the wind-down.

Best place to hang out with a coffee or beer in Milan. They carry fantastic coffee and are all very knowledgeable on the subject. For the afternoon, a full line up of beer and wine. Also a shockingly large selection of whiskey for whatever your heart desires. WiFi available. Plenty of booths and tables with plugs for laptops. Good for work away from home. Bring headphones though because sometimes the kids get loud. read more

My wife and I have come here a few times and the drinks and service have been great. Tonight we had a little trouble getting the same drink made the way it was on our previous visit but it was all worked out to our satisfaction. Thank you to the staff for working with us. read more

So many choices, there's gotta be something you like to drink here. They make them strong! Yay!!

The Owl (formerly the location of the Lighthouse coffee shop, and now under new ownership) is a valuable part of the small community. There are events, board games available, and during the non-peak hours, a calm, quiet place to rest and reflect. There is trivia once a week, big video game nights once a month, often live entertainment like music and plays, and the drinks are great! There are also some things to eat, clean bathrooms, beautiful wood furniture, and lovely music. You will like it!! The Owl contributes to the community by being a drop station for donations to Toys for Tots, a pickup point for the local free newspaper, having a community bulletin board, and being a regular gathering place for organized entertainment. It is a blessing to the town. read more

Friendly staff, good vibe, WiFi is good too. I was there briefly and it was good, I recommend from my experience :)

Stopped in here last week for an iced coffee. The gentleman working was super friendly, helpful & informative about the drinks they offer & events going on during the week. Super chill vibe, comfy couch, perfect for doing some homework or reading a book while enjoying a delicious caramel macchiato. My new favorite place to enjoy some me-time while my kids are in school. Expect me back throughout the week read more

Very nice staff. Delicious coffee. Cozy atmosphere. Lengthy WiFi password, but nbd. ;D Easy to locate off the highway in downtown Milan. Quaint town. Awesome wood burnings on counters. We were informed everything was done by employees with a vested interest in making the business work. Good to know you have passionate workers! read more

The Owl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Really good!! Loved the owners. They are so sweet. Food is delicious, they're really knowledgeable about what they're creating!

I stopped in for a cup of coffee yesterday. This is a gem. The coffee was great and so was the service. I love that they have organic half and half. The decor and ambiance were cozy and welcoming. This would be a nice place to meet a friend and hang out. read more

This place is so amazing! These folks sure can make some coffee. I wish they would open a location near me up in the Flint area. The coffee beats Starbucks or Bigby any day. They also have a bar and have some great stuff on tap. I tried a cider that was out of this world today. All I can say is if you are around and need some caffeination or maybe a little inebriation, stop in it's worth it. read more

This is the best coffee house in town. It has a nice rustic feel but you still feel like family every time you go. Yes, it might be expensive, but is almost the same as starbuck quality coffee, (- the Spanish taste.) Everyone will die unless you try the best coffee in town. read more

Great place to hang out and get drinks, coffee, or a smoothie with friends. Board games available to play while enjoying the wide selection of craft beers and coffees. read more

Ryan is an all around great guy. He has created an amazing atmosphere within the Morning Owl. If you love coffee he has countless options. He can even give you some coffee101 on how to enjoy it and understand what you are drinking! read more

Decent coffee and mediocre pastries. Costco stuff. Not bad, but not homemade. The atmosphere is what is so great at the Owl. Great seating and very nice, large booths. read more

Great location, much better service then "the lighthouse" yet it still feels so welcoming. The owner is extremely friendly along with all other staff. Great drinks and snacks and they are super involved in the community!!! read more

Great place! I stopped in and had an iced chai tea latte and a granola bar. The owner behind the counter was super friendly and I love all the awesome activities they hold here as well. Great for the community! read more

Good coffee, lots of fun stuff goes on here each month, friendly employees

Stopped in at this adorable coffee shop while I was in Milan last weekend and totally fell in love! My pumpkin pie latte with almond milk was delicious as was my pumpkin pie muffin (I couldn't help it!). The staff was so friendly and nice, we asked for directions and they gave us recommendations on disc golf parks in the area. I'm going to move to the area soon and would absolutely make this place my regular stop! read more

Love the feel of this business when you walk in. Cozy and extremely friendly. Prices are fair and customer service is excellent.

Not just a cup of coffee, but an experience. Games, books, movie night, art fairs, gamer night, wi-fi... And, the owners clearly care about the world around them with the fair trade coffee they sell (which is a very good cup of coffee). They also are pure Milan, supporting and hosting local events, getting involved in local causes, and have you seen the new counters? Made of salvaged wood from the renovation on Main Street, built by local craftsmen, and enhanced with intricate wood burning by a local artist. The Morning Owl loves Milan and Milan loves the Morning Owl. Oh and their Peppermint Mocha is to die for. read more

My dad loves this place. He likes the small town feel of 'visiting' with the patrons and the friendly staff.
