Truthfully, Petoskey could use a Starbucks, but alas... this is the only so called "gourmet" coffee option in town. The coffee is just fair... often not warm... and the service is at best indifferent and lax, which combined with the crowds can make for an altogether unpleasant experience.

I only made it here once, but would go back again. One of the best mochas I have had in a while. But, we were there on a Thursday mid morning and it was crowded. I can't imagine it in peak summer months. Very loud. But very trendy. Lots to look at.

Best latte I have had outside of Napa! Menu was varied and good value. Soup and half sandwich were tasty. Service was very good and the people were very helpful. Nice atmosphere and all in all a good lunch. Did I say the coffe was good?!

Homemade soup at its best. Chicken club is outstanding. A bit noisy and you must carry your own food to your table. For seniors that becomes a problem.

Great atmosphere, the coffee is just as good. I just enjoyed looking around at all the photos and art. A true funky coffee house.

Asked attendant about warm coffee and she said it was at the right temperature and made no effort to heat up my coffee even though I asked!

Casual cafe with homemade soups and a wide choice of sandwiches on homemade bread. Inspired drink choices including a snowball (white hot chocolate with coconut and vanilla). We went back for another one after cross country skiing at Wildwood!
