32 Best Coffee Shops in Traverse City

“Very nice establishment, great coffee, refreshing atmosphere.“

“Fun, friendly and energetic staff. they make you excited to get your coffee/Energizer. My daughter was struggling to decide what she wanted and the person taking our order asked her probing questions (like what's your favorite candy, lemonade flavor, lollipop flavor) to help her decide what to get! Definitely recommend!“

“great coffee and ambiance!“

“Best Iced Pumpkin Latte I've had!!“

“When I’m in TC I always love coming to Aroma’s for their tea selection. When I was in Aroma’s today I forgot to mention an aspect of my drink order and when I asked the barista Brittany if she could remake it she was so kind and patient about it. Her and this coffee shop deserves a shoutout! Thanks for being a gem in TC and having such great baristas.“

“Best lavender matcha latte ever!“

“Busy coffee shop in the morning, quick service. Had the BEST coffee I've ever had. The Dirty Harry, coffee with cocoa, delicious. Also ordered a pumpkin spice cake donut which was good. Highly recommend the Dirty Harry and the pastries many to decide between.“

“Ownership and staff are amazing- soon to be the best place in town for coffee & cocktails“

“Best Iced Pumpkin Latte I've had!!“

“Always delicious and a beautiful building inside and out. Highly recommend for alone time, group of friends or would be a great treat for a work group. Now there’s a restaurant and brewery in the same building, excited to try it all! Kudos to the talented and friendly staff at Seismoto.“

“Best lavender matcha latte ever!“

“Strongly recommend. The staff is wonderful bagels are made fresh every order and drinks are amazing.“

“Very comfortable atmosphere, greeted instantly, had help with the menu / ingredients in the food / coffee I was interested in. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING food and coffee. I had the grilled turkey on jalapeño cheddar sour dough with a sugar free cold brew. Honestly the best food I’ve had locally in a while. 1,000% recommend trying at least once but I’ll be back since the menu is HUGE.“

“Fresh food, nice selection, lovely café atmosphere! Enjoyed my stop here!!They could use to reconfigure the insider perhaps to allow more tables. But it is a lively fun family friendly atmosphere. A very nice energy!! Coffee was good, but not great—a bit over milky. Nice food selection - and everything seems freshly made right there. Portion sizes are reasonable…not too big. A bit pricey, but a nice sunday morning gathering spot.“

“Strongly recommend. The staff is wonderful and friendly very knowledgeable bagels are made fresh every order and drinks are amazing.“

“Such a cute spot! I got a Taro Boba Tea and the BBQ Banh Mi - both were delicious!“

“The food was delicious here. We ordered the pot roast dinner and then lava cake for dessert. The restaurant was clean and the service was great. Lori was our waitress and she was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will eat here again.“

“The owner is absolutely amazing to work for! She pays fairly, has snacks and drinks for us to take for the day, and she does once a week “ family dinners” where we stop in after work to chat, grab dinner and bring some home for our families ❤️.“

“Best ice cream shop yet !, fresh and unique. was so delicious and they made it quickly!“

“The food is outstanding! Love that hot honey sauce!“

“I went to this Starbucks on 5/28/25 around 2pm, and the barista I had was so kind and funny. I’m not sure what her name is, she had lots of fun arm tattoos. Just wanted to shout her out because she was so kind and introduced me to putting cold foam on an iced chai latte, it’s amazing!!“

“I was having a pretty rough day because my flight got cancelled and I needed a place to hang out for a few hours. The staff was incredibly accommodating and very friendly. I've been to many Starbucks across the country and this was the best experience I've had of all of them. If I want coffee the next time I'm in Traverse City, I will be coming back to this store.“

“Seven Brew (7B) drive thru has literally every option... superb customer service. The crew was fast and friendly.

Kid-friendliness: Allows the kids to get creative with their drink order.

Parking: Just a drive thru, but huge parking lot surrounding the area as well as a nice road side park with walking trails nearby. Three drinks and a muffin top under $20.“

“Friendly staff, good coffee and my kids love the hot coca!“

“To the wonderful lady employee who complimented my gf’s appearance and nails, while serving her drink, you have made a impact on her day she immediately called me to let me know how nice you were and how it made her day ! Thank you for keeping her happy while I’m at work :)!“

“amazing owners! speedy customer service! quality drinks! good hangout spot! love espresso bay!“

“I worked at Starbucks for seven years, and this store is so far behind standard that even I would never go back. I walked into the store, and even though there were four people working (and three people in the lobby who already had their coffee), nobody greeted me. I stood at the register for a while before anyone even acknowledged me. Finally, a barista yelled at someone in the back "Someone's up front for you". and then THAT person replied "I can't come up will you get it?" So the original barista, who had been completely ignoring me, greeted me and asked what I would like. I was going to get something from their pastry case, but I noticed many gnats in the case, which I mentioned. The barista outright lied to me, saying "oh, we don't serve anything from the case" (why are there two and three of everything in this case, then? I doubt the store manager is okay with that much product waste) "corporate won't give us plastic pastries so we put these out and then throw them all away, every night." Yeah, I don't believe a word of that. I'm sure that there are extra pastries that are not in the case that you serve, but I don't believe for a minute that you never serve any of the pastries from the case. It had two slices of banana nut loaf, but only one slice of pumpkin loaf (where was the second slice?). It had tons of cake pops in it (that you just...throw away every night?) No way. So I declined any pastries. I only get one drink at Starbucks, and I order it the same every time. I always get a grande 5 pump breve no water chai with whip. I ordered it exactly like this and the cashier charged me. I waited for the baristas to make my drink. They didn't seem to know who should make the beverages for the cafe, as all of them were doing drive through drinks. One person came along and put four, not five, pumps of chai in my cup. A few minutes later, someone else came along and took over the drink. I asked if they put 5 pumps in, and she said no, that's not what I ordered. So she adds the extra pump - thanks. I was watching them make my drink. I did not see any half and half (the "breve") used. It looked like she just poured milk in a used pitcher (not supposed to combine cold milk with warm milk). I didn't say anything, because maybe they have a container that looks like milk jugs for their half and half, idk. Anyways, after waiting longer than sbux standards (there is a corporate two minute goal for drink waiting), she put a drink out. She didn't make eye contact with me, didn't call my name, she didn't call out the drink, nothing. I wasn't sure if maybe some of the people who were already seated in the lobby were waiting for another drink, so I wasn't sure if it was even my drink. Anyways, I finally figure out that it's my drink, and I look at the label. All it said was grande chai with breve. I opened up the lid and noticed that she didn't put whipped cream on there either. I almost went back to correct the drink, but changed my mind. I had a feeling these kinds of employees would spit in your drink if they didn't like you. not saying that's what they did, or would do, but I felt that vibe BIG TIME. I drove away, and tasted my chai. it didn't taste like it was made with half and half. It was also barely warm. I think they used leftover milk from someone else's drink. In my opinion, this Starbucks is dirty, the employees are careless and rude, they don't get your drink right, and they dont communicate. it was like being around a bunch of surly high schoolers. I'm never going back.“
