Cute little coffee shop with good sitting area for hanging out/ studying. Also very convenient location. Amazing and super well done coffee flavors, delicious espresso with beautiful presentation. Staff was so nice and helpful with our order as well.

If you’re looking for a cozy, quiet coffee shop in Pontiac, Michigan, you have to check out Make Good Choices, located right next to Anytime Fitness. This spot is a true hidden gem — small, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing, working, or catching up with a friend.
The coffee here is absolutely delicious, and one of the best parts is getting to watch your drink made fresh right in front of you. The staff is warm, welcoming, and always happy to help you choose from their wide variety of drinks and flavors. I went with a hot s’mores drink made with almond milk, and it was incredible — rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
Whether you’re a coffee lover in Oakland County, a local looking for a new favorite café, or just passing through downtown Pontiac, Make Good Choices Coffee Shop is definitely worth the stop. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and seriously amazing drinks — what more could you ask for?

Phenomenal coffee shop in an unassuming location. Supremely high quality, flavorful, and balanced espresso. Every flavoring is housemade, and has genius behind each creation. This might be some of the best coffee in the entire state.

Coffee is delicious. I ordered a flat white because I like my coffee drinks strong and it was great.
Barista was very welcoming.
Don't be fooled by the shop appearance outside. The coffee is fresh ground and brewed like any other proper coffee shop. Place is still neat inside. I am more than pleased.
I made a GREAT choice

Good small little shop. They had some fresher beans on the counter from a local roaster (which gave me hope), but the beans they use for the drinks are Alidi’s house brand organic.

Make Good Choices is hands down the best coffee shop I've ever visited! It's conveniently located right around the loop of Woodward. The owner, Alyssa, is incredibly sweet and takes the time to engage with her customers. She genuinely cares about getting to know you and will remember your name, making every visit feel personal and welcoming!
What a cute little spot! Coffee and positive affirmations was exactly what I needed today. Alyssa who crafted my cherry latte was super nice and my iced coffee was DELISH. can’t wait to be back!

The barista that I talked to was super nice, and I was by far one of the best cups of coffee that I've had and honestly for a really good price. I will definitely be coming back
