Populace Coffee

I'm not a coffee drinker bit they offer an amazing London fog tea! Best I've ever had. Nice small quiet shop to spend some time at.

One of the best places in Michigan. Their vegan treats are amazing and we love their holiday selections. Quality for great prices!

Small local Cafe with a small assortment of coffee drinks and other beverages, bagels and pastries. Service is adequate, though staff are not baristas by any means. The space is pleasant and spacious and mostly quiet. This will do if you need to plug in and get work done while drinking a cup of average coffee. Don't expect any service that you don't specifically ask for. It won't be offered.

Note: I have visited this establishment dozens of times in the past and this review is based on my most recent experience. I went out of my way that day to support this small business. I will continue to give it a chance to improve and will update my review again if it does.

Having had the opportunity to do a bit of traveling i have to say that Populace would be in my top 10 cafes to visit.

Populace sources and roasts their own coffee which it also sales by the bag.

The coffee varietals change with the season so don't expect to see the same selections day in and day out. Don't expect to see any gimmicky drinks here Populace is tailored for those who seek a direct relation between farm, roasting facility, and the talented Baristas.

The atmosphere of populace is very welcoming modern and open. The location offers enough seating for those looking to have some quiet time, along with a very nice long table up front that serves as a communal area.

Populace is definitely a go to destination I highly recommend starting a conversation with a barista whom would be more than happy to walk you through the varietal coffee at hand along with any upcoming sipping/pouring classes.

Coffee is yummy and very smooth
Cute atmosphere
Barista was very nice and did a great job, next time I'm around Bay City I'm definitely going to Populace to get a coffee 😍

If you’re looking for great coffee and service this is the place to go. Friendly warm environment. The establishment roasts everything and it’s fresh.The owner Andrew is knowledgeable and if you have the chance, talk to him. The espresso was fantastic, one of the best I’ve had.

Stopped by for some breakfast on out last day in Bay City. The aesthetic of this coffee shop is insanely cute with so many photo-ops. Its also nice and quiet if you need to study. The baristas made coffee and bagels for 4 people fast! The Golden Raisin and Cinnamon bagel is delicious!!

Great place!! I got the hot chocolate and they had just what I needed for a light breakfast!! Highly recommend will be going again soon!!

Populace coffee is your quintessential third-wave coffee shop. They not only take time and care in preparing the drip, espresso, lattes, cappuccinos etc, but they also roast the coffee and sell it in retail bags so you can craft it at home.
Clean shop, great coffee, tasty food. More than enough reason to try this place.

Delicious coffee,loved the art
