Clifford's Coffee Canal

My husband and I were kayaking through the Paw Paw canal and the owners were on the back porch of their place, over the canal. The owners told us about their coffe shop and I'm so glad they did! Clifford's is a hidden gem and I highly recommend breakfast or brunch! The food is fresh and delicious! You will not want to miss this one! The owners are wonderful and take great pride in their beautiful place! There is roof top sitting or relax on the deck over the canal!

I am shocked that coffee canal gets 5 star reviews. This place is awful. We ordered cliffs amazing omelette and the breakfast tacos - the food was so pitiful and meager. We also ordered the "12 ounce" mochas that were brought to us in 6 ounce mugs.

Sorry, but for $36 the breakfast and coffee should be much better. Very, very pathetic and disappointing. On the positive side, there was very nice gardening and decor.

Do yourself a huge favor and go to the mason jar cafe down the street. It is fantastic.

The place has a great atmosphere and very comfy patio right on the canal. Staff is very friendly and their menu options are very diverts. Enjoyed a great Cappuccino and a delicious croissant sandwich. Really nice.

Absolutely love this place - it is pefect for a quick break or a brunch on a Saturday or Sunday morning!

This place has a wonderful patio in the back as well as on the 3rd floor which both provide a view of the river. They serve great coffee and homemade breakfast food. If you are part of Whirlpool organization, be sure to mention it to the cashier for a 15% discount!

Really nice coffee shop. This place is very well thought out and scenic. It’s set right on a river and a beautiful brick building. The coffee is very good and they offer small pastries. Can’t wait to make a trip back.

Delicious coffee and beautiful seating area on the water with tons of flowers. Wish we had coke hungry- the group next to us was raving about how tasty and fresh their food was.

Clifford's Coffee Canal is Benton Harbor's best kept secret! Specializing in single-origin roasts, the owners are true coffee aficionados. The fresh juice and smoothie bar offer 100% fresh fruit and vegetable options- no jugs of concentrate or mixes are ever used. Full breakfast and lunch menu that are available all day, with fresh and unique items with specials on a regular basis. Healthy plants for sale too, a coffee and plant lovers destination no doubt! Waterfront seating, paddle up and dock from the canal side, rooftop dining as well. Super unique atmosphere. Exceptional coffee. Awesome food.

Great location on the canal, and they've done a wonderful job with the atmosphere, including a beautiful garden on the deck adjacent to the canal.

Coffee is quality and a reasonable price. Food is quite good but very expensive, which is the only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5.

Charming restaurant in Benton Harbor. The back deck overlooking the water was beautifully landscaped with blooming flowers. The food was delicious and the coffee was wonderful.
The best breakfast spot in Benton Harbor/St. Joseph. Highly recommend.

I am not joking when I say I DREAM about this place. The food is absolutely incredible and sitting outside in the early morning was so relaxing. I went back in 2 separate times during my visit to try more items. The muffins and the smoothies were my favorite part. The ladies working the counter were very patient and helpful with my group as we ordered. This is definitely a hidden gem in St. Joe and I can't wait to return some day!
