Can I move in? That'd be great. Adorable spot with perfectly mismatched decor, lovely branding, a big menu of interesting + experimental coffee (bourbon barrel aged - nice), healthy smoothies and delicious treats? Yes please. They've got outdoor seating out front but an even more dreamy backyard garden to slow down, sit and savor your breakfast. Don't miss the pumpkin muffin this time of year. read more

Uncommon Coffee Roasters - Iced caramel silk - Bakeries Near Me - Saugatuck, Michigan

This was the best coffee place I've ever been to! Not only was the coffee & food delicious, the energy and overall feel this place gives off is unmatchable. My family and I stayed in Saugatuck for a week and we came here almost every single morning and it was such a good way to start the day! I would literally come back to this area for this place alone. All of the staff was super kind and I love that they advertise a safe space for LGBTQ+, I wish I could give 10 stars to this place! They deserve it read more

Alert, Alert: Uncommon had a Yelp check-in offer for $1 off of a bag of roasted beans as of 01/04/17. When I'm in West Michigan, I tend to pop into Lemonjello's in Holland for coffee and a pastry. However, I was itching to try something new, leading me to Uncommon Coffee Roasters in downtown Saugatuck. Even in the dead of winter this place was packed full of patrons. I was impressed by not only the quantity of beans for sale along the wall front wall (there were at least a half dozen options, if not more), but also the variety of sweet AND savory pastries behind the glass at the counter. My visit just so happened to be the perfect snowy morning for a vegetable hand pie and a cup of coffee. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the coffee (I got that burnt taste I despise), I did enjoy the flaky, hearty hand pie. All in all, I think Uncommon Coffee Roasters is worth the visit. I intend to return to try one of the scones or the peanut butter and jelly muffin. However, my beverage of choice will be a tea. read more

Grabbed a cortado (which was excellent) and sat on their little patio with the heat torches. It was a nice pit stop on a cold, snowy day. Really impressed with their COVID precautions and the food/baked goods looked delicious, but I didn't indulge this time. read more

Stopped in late Sunday morning for some breakfast and brunch. The café seemed busy with students working, families and young people chatting. Breakfast menu is limited and I opted for the breakfast sandwich (scrambled eggs, roasted tomatoes, green peppers, Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese: cooked casserole-style) between a multi-grain English muffin. Coffee selections and creations are impressive! Try the French Guiana (espresso, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and whipped cream), smoothy (strawberry, banana, yogurt and granola mix of corn flakes and almonds). Patio-seating and proximity to the waterfront make this space ideal! read more

It was my first time here and I have one word to describe it....BUSY! I can see why, this century old home converted to a coffeehouse is a charming labyrinth of cozy places to enjoy caffeinated concoctions. They do have a quick serve cart out front, but I wanted the experience. There were three lines formed in a small space, so you need to be patient and anxiety ready for close proximity. My friend made suggestions for her standard; Cafe Miel- coffee with honey and cinnamon. I couldn't say no because those are three of my fav flavors all in one drink. 15 minutes later they called our order up ( told you....busy!) But after that first sip...I would be waited longer if needed. It was a perfect balance, not overly sweet and no overwhelming cinnamon, just a wonderful sippable delight. We did not have food, so we were able to wander the streets and shops after this. I will say, while it is small, there is seating tucked into all kinds of spaces to utilize. Their outdoor area provides more options and a view of passing tourists. read more

I have been here every morning! Great vibe, totally accepting, strong wifi, great indoor/outdoor seating. Ya gotta try this place for yourself! read more

Oh man their infused cold brew drinks are so awesome! I've tried a lot of cold brew across the Midwest and this is top 5 for sure!!!! Great menu too- sandwiches and pastries were all on point. I had the southwest sandwich with a great egg replacement and flavor and my partner had a bagel with cream cheese very standard. Awesome place! read more

Admittedly, I only feel like reviewing a place when I like it. The latte is great. How come national chains can't make one this good? I also had a ginger molasses cookie. Yum. This is a pretty town, and this is a good place to stop. read more

Uncommon Coffee Roasters - Front of business - Bakeries Near Me - Saugatuck, Michigan

Hand down the best Cafe in the area. Exquisite coffee with awesome bakery goods and the best staff around. Seating both outside in the garden out back and inside. Very eclectic and well decorated. Some great gifts such as coffee mugs, shirts, drips, etc. This place rocks most of the time with both tourists and locals alike. It is THE hangout for the town. The line can be a bit long at times, but the wait is well worth it - don't go or try another place, you will regret it. The food is made with care and love and mostly organic or vegan and the taste is to die for. Various drink menu and food items. The selection of beans to go is pure amazing. Don't miss going to this place, it's a must do if you are in the area - Classic Saugatuck / Douglas event. read more

Would like to know that the (somewhat) new owners cared how rude many of their baristas are: no smile or thank you (for the customer's patronage). Many seem bored and as if a gun is to their backs to work there. What happened to good, friendly, and courteous service?? Poor management, and even poorer ownership. read more

Queer friendly. Good chai. Good coffee. Gluten free options! And a very cute outdoor seating. Small and quaint inside.

I've come here the past 4 times I've visited in town, and they have always had really great staff! My friends and I always get bagels, and now they've really stepped up their game and wait times are so much shorter. Highly recommend. read more

The coffee here is delicious and the people are always friendly. Today I had a nitro cold brew latte which was amazing. No ice, which means that's it wasn't diluted at all but still chilled. I also had a flourless chocolate cake that tastes like smooth fudge. Amazing! I then got a carton of their cold brew coffee with chocolate milk today to have with breakfast the next day. It was unoque and delicious. I wish all my mornings started with it! Every time I'm in Saugatuck I go here at least once a day and never have something that isn't perfection. I also always take home some chocolate covered espresso beans for my grandma. Inside is cute and a little small, outside has a porch which is nice to sit on during summer days. There is also a garden spot in the back. If you have a dog, or even a stroller you don't want to wrangle inside, there is an outside ordering window! read more

Don't look for other coffee places in town because there are none. This is the only true coffee house in Saugatuck. And for the non-coffee drinker, try the ginger fizz or fresh made iced teas. They also serve food but we never get around to eating here.. Looks good though and homemade! read more

On an uncommonly brisk summer day, I was more interested in a coffee shop than an ice cream shop, so I was very happy to follow the crowds into Uncommon Coffee Roasters. The feel of the place is very rustic and interesting (definitely wasn't surprised to hear it was a historic building!). They had a good selection of drinks and treats. I enjoyed a pricey little chai, but it was quite delish. Delish feels like the appropriate word in a place like Saugatuck. I would definitely go here again if I venture to this side of the state again. read more

Burned coffee beans and 1 hr line for a cup of joe. Not even close to acceptable. Just that people got used to it over the years but niw there are many options for coffee like the Siena cafe accross the street, annex and Bigby. read more

Great COVID setup, lots of plexiglass everywhere. Cafe miel was perfect - not too sweet but definitely had that honey and cinnamon flavor. Great drip coffee too. read more

Uncommon Coffee Roaster has re-established itself as my favorite go-to coffee location in Michigan! Stopped by on a whim, heard they had their takeout window open and as able to enjoy the most perfect, splendid and heavenly cup of caramel silk that I have had in months AND they had my favorite cookie in stock! It was fate, kismet, meant to be and all other kinds of just right. So do yourself a huge favor and travel to Saugatuck and treat yourself to a cup of coffee (or baked goods - there's still large selection of items to choose from) at Umcommon Coffee Roasters. read more

Love this place. A cozy setting to snuggle up with a book and a warm cup of coffee. The restaurant is located in a old home so you get the squeaky hardwood floor as you walk across it. I just love that. The food is upscale bakery with some egg items. I believe they also have lunch items. A must when visiting Saugatuck. Give them a try! read more

Cute place with central location and variety of take-away breakfast items. Reasonable amount of outdoor seating. Breakfast sandwich decent. Staff very friendly and despite the long line, service at the counter moved pretty fast. Like just about everything anymore, however, prices mildly eye popping by the time you order a few drinks and items. Looking forward to visiting there again. read more

Stoped here for coffee after an early dinner when passing through town. Very nice area and the coffee was good. I really liked the garden seating in the back. Looks like it's a house turned into a coffee shop. Due to Covid everything was ordered from a window on the side and the drinks were then placed outside on a table through a side door. Overall the place was kinda shabby but the atmosphere was great. read more

I drive all the way to Saugatuck to check out this coffee shop. They roast onsite and seem to put a large amount of effort in to cultivating relationships with their coffee suppliers. They had a really large selection of roasted coffee beans for sale with a large diversity between single origin, origin blends, and some specialty roasts. They had some recents roasts available (6-8 days), but most of them were in the 3-5 week old range. I ended up getting some Costa Rica and some Columbian beans to try out. Unfortunately, both roasts were over three weeks old but I have plans for a coffee time get together this weekend so I will be able to get in to both of them before they get much older. In addition, i snagged a box of Chemex filters and tried one of their "pour overs". Technically, it wasn't a pour over as they utilize a Clever coffee dripper which is more of a filtered immersion brewer. It was ok; I'd give it three out of five stars. It was a little thin and had a fairly bitter finish to it. read more

The cinnamon vanilla cold brew coffee was probably the best cup of coffee I have ever had. I also purchased a bag to take home with me. I asked the barista about the flavors and if the "chocolate mocha" was very chocolatey. She said I have no idea and couldn't tell me about any of the others so I just grabbed a bag. It must have been a $15 bag of coffee because I spent over $20 for just my small iced coffee and the bag (coffee prices are not posted). I also had a coupon for checking in which was offered on Yelp but she didn't take it off either. The place and location is extremely cute and I would return mainly because their coffee is amazing. However their people could be a bit more friendly and helpful. read more

I walk in to the whir of the expresso machines, that classic earthy smell of rich ground coffee, and a long ass line. If you aren't in a rush, the line is no problem; good people watching, knick-knack browsing. The pastries are displayed with no f*cks given- rows of hearty scones and muffins haphazardly stuffed in the glass case, ahhh. I got the blueberry one. The crumble on top was divine. Behind the counter local Saugatuckians are dancing, joking, hurrying to pour shots of flavor and yelling order names. The people were friendly and artsy. Great vibes. Surprisingly, I ordered carrot juice. I waited off to the side and watched as the dude juiced my carrots, fresh as can be. And the result: the perfect balance or orange and carrot, the perfect "wake-up call." read more

Loved it! So glad to find quality coffee, great atmosphere and someone who loves and cares about what they do! Will be visiting this spot again whenever I can swing to West Michigan! read more

One of the few enjoyable places for breakfast in Saugatuck. Offers several outdoor seating options which even fewer places do, so this became the favorite breakfast spot for the week we were in town. Good selection of pastries and breakfast sandwich options. Coffee selection is vast and the several beans I tried were wonderful. Only thing missing is a nice view of the harbor, but the neighborhood is nice to look at too. read more

While staying in Saugatuck, we found this great little coffee shop down the street from us. It worked out so well as our Chihuahua woke up to go out, Hubster was able to take him to the coffee shop walk thru window! How cool is that. He said the latte and coffees were very good and always picked up a scone or biscotti. He brought me iced tea, as that is my choice, but the tea had a slight hint/taste of coffee which wasn't good. A great little place with very cool vibes! read more

LGBT+ safe space business Literally my most favorite coffee shop to go to in Michigan! Amazing coffee, service, building, and it's right by the water. Indoor and outdoor seating, dog friendly, and a place for a bite to eat and some great drinks. I'm always a fan of their flourless chocolate cake!! Super indulgent for one, wonderful to split for two. It's super rich- and uses high quality dark chocolate. A MUST HAVE! read more

The coffee was ok but nothing special. The service was not very good. It is small and it seemed to have a lot of people just camped out in there so there was no place to sit. read more

We've been coming here for years! Coffee is always on point and pastry and sweets are always fresh! Love the staff as well!

so, I only give 3 stars to let those that rely on internet to not come here unless you have a hotspot on phone. I visit Saugatuck often and love this shop. the employees, food, coffee vibe all on point. But just know if you want to spend time working, studying, etc. you will probably not be able to get online without a hotspot. read more

Great coffee and lots of outdoor seating with heaters! Gluten-free blueberry muffin was delicious. A must visit in Saugatuck!

By far the best coffee I have ever had. The cold brew with chocolate milk is amazing. Nothing will ever be the same in my life again! Also try the cinnamon miel- it will put a huge smile on your face. Gotta love local success especially when it beats the coffee from South America to pieces. read more

super yummy! got the iced americano with carmel syrup. kind of bitter for my taste, but i don't usually get americanos in general. maybe some more carmel syrup would've made it for me! seems like a very accepting place. lots of pride flags! read more

This was a great stop for coffee! My husband had a plain black, while I enjoyed the Cafe Miel, which was amazing!

Stopped in for a Cafe Americano to take on a return drive home. It was the best tasting Americano I have ever had! Their coffee is wonderfully roasted and the espresso was excellently prepared. This is a must-stop if I am ever in the area again. read more

It was good really good but it was expensive so you can get a cheaper coffee somewhere else

Great little spot with absolutely delicious coffee. I love all of the outdoor seating, as well as the coziness you feel when stepping inside. I love the walk-up window for those with dogs, what an awesome idea! They have a great little garden out back, and if you are hungry there are multiple pastries and sandwiches which you can order. What a wonderful place. read more
