37 Best Coffee Shops near Independence

“As an Actor and Filmmaker, I tend to hold a lot of meetings at Starbucks on Sashabaw Rd in Independence Township, MI as it's 25 seconds from I-75 and easy to find, but the latest remodel has reduced the available seating considerably and I'm rethinking Starbucks as a destination. It's nice that there are more power outlets to plug devices in, but fewer chairs make this added convenience counterintuitive. Not a fan of having to sit outside so I'm considering alternative, well-known locations. I think Tim Hortons may be a bit more hospitable to guests.“

“Very nice place cozy atmosphere with comfy seats and couches and very handsome baristas that make wonderful coffee!!! ☕️ ☺️“

“Randomly was looking fir a nearby coffee place, didn't realize it was at the mall, but fortunately I found decent parking, and it was pretty close to the entrance GPS led me to. SUPER friendly service, a certain intimacy despite being in a mall. My coffee drink was WONDERFUL!! That in and of itself would bring me back next time I am in the area🌞“

“Always high quality product. My absolute favorite place to get coffee. Excellent staff and great atmosphere“

“Great friendly staff with high quality food and drink!“

“They are made the BEST way. Nice staff and quick service!“

“Delicious empanadas (and this is coming from an Argentinian)! Also very good coffee and so many flavor options. Everyone there was so nice, very cute cafe with lots of things for the kiddos to play with“

“An oasis. Perfect for dates and red eyed breakfasts, interfaith dishes but a vegetarian Mecca. Calm lake view for the post meal stogie. A place where oddities like myself can get cozy. Attended an open mic here long ago and that was a treat as well.“

“This place is a must! The coffee, the decor, the staff, the location ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The staff were top tier and made the experience even better! Definitely will come again when coming through!“

“Yummy beverages (Butter Bear is so good!) Super friendly staff & great service 👍“

“The folks at Abeantogo are always so welcoming and their coffee is delicious. It is a frequent spot for meetings with clients and colleagues and offers a great atmosphere for a casual conversation and wonderful coffee.“

“We actually live closer to another location but will drive a little farther to come to this location. The staff is super friendly and helpful, always making sure you get the best deal. We love free shot Friday so much that it’s our 2 toddlers favorite phrases! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best Coffee in White Lake 😍“

“I know there are a few negative reviews out there, so I had to come check it out for myself to see what all the fuss is about.

I personally think the novelty of it isn’t that bad. Sure, it’s not for everyone. Easy solution…stop complaining and don’t frequent. Plenty of others will.

The coffee is not bad, but is mediocre. I found the service to be great. At the end of the day, service is the single most important aspect of any business. I mean, your product can’t suck, but even if it’s mediocre (edible or drinkable), the service will be remembered more.“

“If you want your coffee made right this is the place.. Ask for Melanie great service with a great smile..“

“I love Tim Hortons, now that Geoffrey has taken it over it has really turned around. 💖 Great job“

“Love this place. Always great food and service. To the lady that left her purse there for how long?Six weeks? Honchos should have charged you a storage fee. You can't blame others for your lack of responsibility. You are slandering their business for something YOU did. How would you feel if someone slandered your husband's ophthalmology business over something he didn't do?“

“Best salted caramel cold brew and sweetest barista ever“

“They are so fresh and delicious! They also have the best lattes in town!“

“Absolutely amazing tres leches cake! Beautifully decorated and delicious! Highly recommend.“

“It’s obvious that other reviews complaining about the lack of “prioritizing the drive thru” have never worked in food service or have just been too lazy to get out of the car and see what’s going on inside of the building. I can’t go through the drive thru lane most days because of the height of my work truck. The sheer number of online, drive thru and in shop orders alone is staggering. Most of the time I’m in there no one stops moving, and they still provide excellent service and seem cheerful. People just need to be more patient, or place an online order… you guys literally can’t move faster than humanly possible and it seems people are more self important than they are capable of logic and reasoning to understand how the process really works.“

“This is the best Dunkin hands down! Staff here ate amazing, and you know what amazing staff makes?? Awesome Dunkin drinks and food. Always fast, always fun, polite, and best of all accurate on my orders. I pass other Dunkins just to come to this one. If you aren't order the Berry Dunkin Energy drink from here, yiu are wrong.“

“Oh Tim, oh Tim hortons. This shop, this is one of the greatest locations in history. The first time I came here… I got a donut. When I ate this piece of food, my life changed its course forever. I have never had a donut, or any food for that matter, as beautiful tasty as that donut ?. Maybe my chicken tenders at the fork n pint, but that’s the only thing as good. I will never forget, until the day I die, that donut. And I won’t forget the plenty others I have eaten since that day. If you ever want to see perfection, go to Tim Hortons- Nick r“

“Donna and the rest of the staff at The White Lake Tim Hortons do a fantastic job! I will go out of my way to drive to try to this location since they make the best lattes and always get it right. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the store is very clean. Thank you White Lake Tims for donating hot cocoa and donuts to the Oakland County Foster Closet Holiday party. We appreciate you!!!“

“Love this place☺️ love the all the teas, my guy loves the coffee.“

“Not a fan of the corporation necessarily ,but everyone that works at the Lake Orion Starbucks location should get a raise, because the L.O. Starbucks locals are amazing every time I happen to stop in. The best kinda employees,make you wanna come back,I drink tea anyways! Staff es super excellente tho!💚🫵🤑👌🤙❤️‍🔥👐 Wu-Tang 👐“

“I have been coming here for years with my wife! We love it and it fuels us for work everyday! I have had some rude encounters with the blonde manager but that is something that comes with starbucks!😅 Just wanted to write a review for the store as they are always working so hard!“

“nice people, great coffee!“

“I was searching for a spot to enjoy a drink, a snack, and get some work done on my laptop. I first tried the place next door (they have “café” in their name), but they didn’t offer Wi-Fi and suggested I try Cannelle instead. Honestly, I’m so glad they did! This place turned out to be a hidden gem I’d been driving past without ever stopping in.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and the staff was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the menu since it was my first visit. The selection of pastries and food is so impressive it’s almost hard to choose — I included a video to show you all of their wonderful options! I ended up with an iced caramel matcha, and it was absolutely delicious.

I stayed for several hours, enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, and appreciated how clean everything was (including the restrooms). What started as a happy accident became a great find, and I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in the area.“

“Great restaurant went in on a Sunday me my wife and kids they had a party of more then 35 people they still took us in with no questions and we where treated really well, food was quick and tasted really good will definitely use them as my family diner thank you guys.“

“I am new to Biggby coffee, anytime i have a question about coffee (recommendations, adjusting the drink) the girls here are so kind and helpful! I ordered a caramel cold foam cold brew with two espresso shots, she even helped me add sweetener. so good!“

“I ❤️ Dunkin Donuts! Far better than Starbucks. And easier on your wallet.“

“It was moderately busy today, due to the holiday weekend but Julian was absolutely fantastic! They were friendly and efficient, not to mention the drinks were really delicious! They definitely deserve a raise for powering through the hoard of humans that came through the line like a boss. ? 100/10“

“Best dunkin by far! I’m in oxford leadership class at OHS and I called dunkin asking if they would be willing to donate hot chocolate for the elementary schools and they said yes right away! Anthony- the manager was so nice and super understanding with everything! Him and the dunkin team are really making these kids month!!“

“Barbie Frappuccino for the win!“

“Great place. For morning Treats before work, but you must go early in the morning! It's a good experience�“
