My review is limited in scope but I felt compelled to share a few honest thoughts. I am the type of person whom outside of necessity or social situations, mostly refuses to buy coffee/tea, yet Retro has been become a weekly(sometimes more 🙈) ritual. I had a couple poor experiences in the beginning. But hey, they were still learning and I am always willing to try again, although it took me longer than I hoped for various reasons. Everything has become exemplary. The rare ability to grow, correct issues, and and improve while continuing to evolve is a testament to ownership and management, and the dedication of staff, making it a place I love to give my business to. They have staying power.
I don't strive far from my regular drink(I'm lame), Matcha Oat. I have had food on a few occasions; sandwiches and a part of an acai bowl, all was great. I do recommend it as a place for drink and food.
Everyone is friendly, your visits feel like more than patronage, a part of community. A welcoming place for all ages and demographics with a unique aesthetic.

Come here a couple times a week to read and relax. While I like my coffee more on the bitter side, there are a variety of different drinks offered for anyone’s palate. My go-to coffee shop in Manitowoc.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops... Aubrey and her staff are excellen! Everyone is personable, kind, and they each contribute to the wonderful atmosphere... and don't even get me started on the food- have you tried the chicken aristotle!? Out of 5 starts, Retro is a 10.

This place is a secret gem of Manitowoc! The best matcha in town, fresh home made food with the best service and sweetest people! Aubrey was amazing. I always make sure to stop here every time I’m in town.

While my family and I were passing through Manitowoc, we stopped at Retro Coffee. This old gas station converted to a coffee shop was impressive. It’s a clean relaxing place to stop where our food was exceptional. We enjoyed our coffee and drinks. We also were pleased with the portion sizes.

We are from out of town and stopped here for some coffee and a bite to eat passing through, and we absolutely LOVED it! Aubry was extremely welcoming and friendly and the coffee and the wrap and bagel was probably the best we have ever eaten - extremely fresh and delicious. And the atmosphere was relaxing and cozy - I highly recommend this place - will definitely be back to try their grain bowls and açaí bowls! Thank you Aubry😁

Coffee has tasted horrible the two times I’ve gone in. And the owner? Is so rude! Not friendly at ALL. It’s a shame it’s a cute place
