This place is just great. Excellent coffee and baked goods. Crowded on weekends, with lines out the door for good reason.

I love to find great local coffee places like this when we travel. Went for a cup first thing in the AM since I am a coffee snob and our B&B didn't have the greatest. I had the granola, so yummy and my husband had the broccoli and cheese egg bake, was so good. Everything in the bakery case made... More

Great desserts and coffee drinks. My fav is the French Guinea--mocha with a bit of heat.

Very nice coffee, roasted onsite. Always a relaxing place spot whenever we stop in. Espresso drinks are passable but lack the taste and care a barista would bring. My shots are either over or under and the lattes lack real micro-foam (more like dry sea foam). The last counter person didn't even look in the pitcher while steaming.

We stopped there twice last weekend - coffee was good, so was their tea, and the sitting area in the front had a nice view of the lake.

Alright, you may be thinking.....how good can a coffee place be?? Well, one bite of the cherry nut bar will tell you this is not your ordinary coffee shop. The lunch treats, though limited, will surprise and delight you. This little haven is quite a nice alternative to the bar and grill venue typical to Saugatuck. The ingredients are flavorful... More

Was very jealous that there is one not closer to me. Would get coffee and baked goods there everyday. Great place!
