Coffee Barrel

Beautiful, calm coffee joint with friendly baritstas! They have an extensive variety of beans to choose from and will grind them for you in-house! Thank you, Coffee Barrel! Will be back soon. 😌☕

As usual, the best coffee ever you can get. Nice and cozy place with professional and welcoming staff. You can drink your favorite coffee and buy the coffee (grounded beans as you want) that you like to make at home. It's more than just a coffee shop.

My wife and I happened across this place while visiting our son at MSU. We brought home two bags of coffee and I can honestly say we have never brewed better coffee at home. Absolutely fantastic. We normally bring home coffee from Caribou or Starbucks, both of which I thought were great until I tried this coffee. Unfortunately, we live 10 hours from Holt and The Coffee Barrel, but will absolutely continue to order their coffee online. A little more expensive than what we normally buy, but the quality is worth it.

My absolute favorite coffee place. Aside from amazing coffee the people there are always helpful & kind. They helped me ship coffee over to my cousin while he was stationed in the middle east, and to friends and family for the holidays.

I have just found my favorite coffee shop in the area! I am a Michigan State student and don't like packed, generic coffee shops for studying, so I took a longer drive to see what I could find. I came across Coffee Barrel, and it was perfect for me. Cozy and inviting decorations, friendly staff, and adequate seating available. I had a delicious matcha latte with almond milk and stayed for almost three hours working on my laptop. The music was relaxing, and the sun shining through the windows made for a pleasant day.

This is not your typical coffee shop. They seem to specialize in flavored coffees, so if that is your thing you might like this place. Despite an abundance of staff and no customers I stood for 2-3 minutes at the counter to ask where to bus my plate before I just left without an answer. Their 20 oz americano only had 2 shots meaning I paid extra for water compared to the 16oz. In addition, their espresso shots taste like cheap diner quality coffee.

Great selection of coffee. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will be a repeat customer for sure.

The Coffee Barrel is a long-standing favorite of mine dating back to my college days at MSU. For years, I continued to get my Coffee Barrel fix by mail-ordering their beans. Their current location is new to me. They have moved from their old location closer to campus, but the new location has a comfortable, small seating area with tables, chairs and even a couple of armchairs. They have a wide variety of beans available for purchase and I have always found their coffee to be excellent. They roast their own coffee and much of it is fair trade coffee. The entrance is handicap accessible and I believe the bathrooms are as well. Though the bathroom entrances may be a bit narrow to navigate with a wheelchair, I think they are still accessible. A small selection of food is available, although it is the typical cafe fare - pastries, cookies, etc. Ample free parking available in an adjacent parking lot. Although it is a little bit more of a hike from campus these days, it is still a favorite coffee stop for me when I'm in the Lansing/East Lansing area!

Great coffee and relaxing atmosphere!

Great coffee!! Very cozy environment.
