So here's the thing, this place has a great vibe and awesome staff. That being said, the coffee and tea both have a genuine fishy after taste that completely ruins it. I'm not sure if it's the tap water or what but you can taste fish oil in the coffee and tea. I've tried pretty much every thing on the coffee menu it's always there. Bagels and baked goods however, are phenomenal.

Love the aesthetic of this coffee place. The espresso was on point. Cookies are hit and miss, but I just love the vibe of this place. It's off the main street, and can be a quiet alternative to the louder coffee places, which I appreciate. Just something about the layout/vibe/aesthetic......makes you feel calm and welcome.

It's very relaxing in there. The workers are very nice and friendly. We are going back for sure. Love it that they are open late too. Had a muffin and it was very flavorful, light and big enough that we shared it. Makes for a nice relaxing, visit night.

Best coffee in Bay City hands down!! You can taste the quality of their craft in their gluten-free and vegan baked goods too. They are a vital part of downtown, and do so much to bring people together. I can’t think of anywhere else to hangout and get some work done.

They have vegan bagel options and vegan cream cheese which are very good. They also often offer vegan baked goods which are always amazing. They consistently have vegan chocolate chip cookies that are *so good*

Great classic coffee shop! Modern feel with vintage touches engulfs you with warmth of coffee and friends. Friendly barista with great technique! Very big room almost Intimidating, but sit, relax, and be pulled in with good sounds, interesting people... And Great Coffee!! Had a great chocolate chip cookie, too! Oh yeah, good stuff!

Great coffee, very flavorful and well made. I also tried one of the Cosmic Brownies and those were so delicious - very rich!

The coffee is so good! Great flavored bagels and snacks. My cookie was so fresh, it was still warm! 🥰 staff is very friendly and helpful

Wanting to try one of many Bay City coffee shops, we settled on this one. The inside was not expected: very open and minimalistic. Not liking cramped spaces, this didn't bother me one bit. The menu on the wall was also pretty sparse; however, the friendly barista whipped up a Caramel Latte in no time. My black coffee was strong and acceptable (there was a small hole on the side of my 'biodegradable' cup!). The bakery items were all fresh baked in the morning and the Peanut Butter cookie was very good. A bit pricey but little to complain about.
