5th & Elm Coffee House

This little spot is so tasty. Highly recommend! We got a breakfast burrito and a breakfast bagel that were both very tasty. Wish we would have seen the add avocado option to make it that much better. The sandwiches all sounded great, but unfortunately didn't get to try due to traveling. The matcha latte they made me was just what I was looking for. This is an all around great breakfast spot!

The best part of this place is the atmosphere. The chunky construction and the large glass south-facing windows and thick overhang make this my favorite winter sandwich shop. My lunch partner regularly comments that they have the best sandwich in town. The moca coffee and chi are more milky than sweet.

Good coffee, great food! I was taken by surprise at how good their sandwiches are! If they could just nail their green tea lattes that would be even better!

Overall it's a perfect breakfast/ lunch spot and the wait isn't as long as it is everywhere else in Houghton/Hancock area.

#1 coffee shop anytime I go to Houghton. They make the fraps/caps/& lattes with freshly pulled shots. Best breakfast bagel sammies in town! I highly recommend 2 egg, bacon, smoked gouda, & peanut butter on a blueberry bagel. Sauteed onion/gp if you're adventurous. 😉👌they might still be outside order but has a great view of the canal. ❤️

first time going to 5th and Elm and definitely my last. As soon as i walked upto the outdoor ordering window the barista slammed the window shut, that should have been my first sign to just walk away and go elsewhere. I ordered a large caramel macchiato and they delivered in in under a minute, should have been another sign that i was not going to enjoy my coffee.

needless to say it was cold, the side of the cup was covered in caramel and the coffee tasted like absolute garbage.

Great cozy spot. Tea selection was excellent; had my favorite morning green tea. Window seating for my laptop; got work done. Lunch meal option for vegans was high quality. They even had Kombucha. Not many cafe's can be expected to carry those. Purchased: Large Tea, Lunch salad and Kombucha. Also purchased raw honey. All for around $25. Definitely worth the price.

I was skeptical of the best coffee rating before going there. I got a caramel macchiato and they definitely live up to the rating. Very chill, comfortable, clean atmosphere. It may be hidden away, any yet it sure was worth the stop in! I also got a veggie breakfast burrito, as veggie items are harder to get right sometimes, and I was delighted to find it was the perfect balance of flavors especially when partnered with their salsa. The caramel macchiato overall in flavor profile however, still can't beat Cyberia's.

Sandwiches are very good here. The loose leaf tea and green tea latte with extra shot were perfect. Easy online ordering and it was promptly ready at the window at the time the website predicted.

Great service and environment. Lots of posters up about local events and business cards. Good menu options and the coffee is 1000x better than Starbucks. Tastes like northern European coffee and I could drink it every day. If I lived in Houghton I would definitely become a regular.

They have very nice coffee and muffins. I especially loved the poppy seeds muffin.
