“I’m not a bit coffee drinker but my husband enjoyed his vanilla latte. My kid and I ordered the hot chocolate it was delicious, better than what most coffee shops offer. The staff was very kind and helpful, they welcomed us and our kids in with big smiles. We picked up some authentic Palestinian olive oil and Zafar by Canaan which was a pleasant surprise.

Kid-friendliness: They had some colored pencils and paper available which kept our children entertained while we enjoyed our drinks.“

“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!“

“This has been my family’s favorite coffee shop for years, and I know that it’s a favorite of many other locals. It’s the best simple cup of coffee in town. My order is basically always the same - coffee (whatever unflavored roast is on offer that day) with room for cream (real half and half that you add yourself) and a blueberry lemon scone (they aren’t particularly moist which means they go perfect with a cup of coffee). My kids love the kid’s hot cocoa with whipped cream, and whenever there are holiday iced butter cookies they love to get those too. It’s a small shop with stool seating for maybe 4 people inside and a few small tables outside. Service is friendly - just go in and go all the way to the left to order drinks and then move along to the right and order bakery items from the cashier, then move around the corner to the right to wait for your drinks after you pay. There are usually parking spots available on the street outside, and if not there are also two spots in the parking lot next to the shop.“

“Probably one of the best iced mochas around! The chicken pesto sandwich was great and the breakfast burrito was yummy. Only issue is that one of the staff members was not as good as the other staff at the time. The staff member who took our order didn’t get it put in correctly, which we shrugged off initially. Later, we asked for a refill of water and the same staff member said that they “could” give us a refill, but that there is a water fountain in the hallway… weird experience with that employee. Oh well, the rest of the experience was decent.“

“My wife and I were looking for a taste of home while we were away on honeymoon. We decided to come by Hexenbelle for its food and drink. We not only found the familiar flavors of fresh bread, savory olive, and creamy labneh, but we found a warmth from the surrounding atmosphere and staff. We were immersed in light toned woods, lush green plants, and ample sunlight, as if we were relaxing in a sunroom or a garden.

We had an opportunity to speak to the owner, Chris, who welcomed us and gave us his attention despite also running the kitchen. Chris has been doing a great service to bring hearts and minds together for peace, prosperity, and freedom, both within Traverse City and for the Palestinian people. His love and passion shows in every dish he crafts, and we are forever grateful for the warmth, friendship, and hospitality that he extended us.

Hexenbelle is truly a rare and valuable gem amongst the many cafes and eateries in the area. I believe Hexenbelle is the best and only choice for authentic Palestinian cuisine and hospitality in Traverse City.

“Great selection and friendly service with fair pricing. First time here, tried the Mexican Mocha Latte without cinnamon - mocha latte with a pinch of cayenne pepper - it's great. We decided to relax and enjoy our drinks and the sitting areas are comfortable and cozy, with enough room to talk without feeling like you have to whisper. All with a nice view of Traverse Bay across the road. We'll be back“

“Why are people reviewing the Target Starbucks and putting it on the South Airport Starbucks page? Jeez, use some reading comprehension before slandering the wrong location publicly. Everyone here also seems whiny and ungrateful — go make your own coffee at home. I love the baristas here! They’re always so sweet and so happy to give my dog his pup cup. I don’t care about lines or speed; its 2023, labor is extremely hard to find and staff everywhere is underpaid… be patient!“

“Holy cow! This place amazing!

The vibe and atmosphere alone is so chic and bohemian! It’s a chill space with a lot of seating options and outdoor seating!

Service was amazing! Very friendly and prompt and for being a first timer and struggling with what to order, the person taking my order wasn’t wrong what to get!

I order an Iced Vanilla Latte (and being told that the vanilla syrup was homemade was definitely a draw), and also got an Outpost chop and all I can say is WOW!

*Add-On* The Spicy Italian, was a lot lol. If you aren’t ready for that much meat then this isn’t the sandwich for you. Kind of which it had alittle more of a kick but it was good.

**Add-On** On a cold chilly and rainy day, I had to get the tomato soup and let me say….WOW! It was so good! Also got the
Chicken Avocado, and my only small complaint is that I which it had MORE avocado.“

I’ve gotten to know most of the staff and everyone is so incredibly friendly, their kindness always makes me smile.

“Great place to get coffee, but the staff is even better. This is the only starbucks my wife and I use in traverse because of the staff. They are super friendly, even when they may be having a rough day. For example, the lobby was closed due to a staff shortage because of the weather, but they were still doing drive-thru. The problem is that my work vehicle is too tall to fit in the drive-thru. I stood outside the lobby door, reading the sign, wondering what to do when one of the employees opened the door. I explained my dilemma and she told me no problem and let me in. She politely took my order with a smile amidst all the chaos of the drive-thru orders and other employees diligently working behind her.“
