Pedaling Beans Coffeehouse

Great coffee and bakery items, sadly they were closed our last day in the area :-( Saturday 9/17. But we will stop in our next trip up for sure.

UPDATE 9/13/21. 1 Star changed to 4 Stars
Owner contacted me with an explanation and sincere apology. I responded in kind.
Their mocha and blueberry muffins are delicious. I suggested that when an order has to be corrected that it should be moved up on the priority list to reduce wait time, and a few simple words like "sorry for the wait" would have gone a long way to smooth everything out.

Horrifying experience.
Only reason why there are aren't a string of one star reviews is because most people that come here figure "why bother".
I ordered a large mocha with an extra shot of espresso and blueberry muffin. I waited and watched as 10 people behind me received their orders. When I inquired, no one acknowledged me, until 5 minutes later when my name was called...my order was wrong...small instead of a large and no extra shot of espresso, which I had already been charged. I sat and watched as 6 more orders were filled. I asked if they could please fill my order before finishing others. When they did, they rolled their eyes, pushed it toward me with a smart aleck smirk, as if I did something wrong. A simply remark apologizing for the delay would have been appropriate And, but instead, an angry older woman appeared and shouted "Is there a problem?" Before I could respond, she yelled "Get the hell out of here!"
My friends and I were astonished until we spoke with other business owners in Lake Leelanau that said they had the same experience with this business. Their hurtful, insensitive behavior was followed by more shouting to "never come back!" Lol...as if.
Simply the worst.
When this place goes out of business (sooner than later I'm guessing) I'm sure their former jobs as prison guards will still be waiting for them. What a stain on this otherwise bucolic village.

I've been stopping in for coffee at Pedaling Beans for years. Great coffee, beverages, and some light food choices. They have a comfortable inside seating area to enjoy talking with friends or use the wifi (there is a picnic table outside too). Their restroom is clean and large. Also they are located near the only bridge crossing the actual Lake Leelanau for miles around.

My husband and I have enjoyed our daily visit to the Pedaling Bean while vacationing in Leelanau County. The staff is very friendly and the pastries, burritos and Avacado Toast are delicious. I'm not a coffee drinker but my husband and kids are and they all enjoy their morning coffee here.

I have been to a few coffee house/ restaurants in the area and, so far, this is my favorite. Being a high-tourist area, I get the feeling from the other places that they don't really care about their customers (since the next 3 are walking in the door, already). At Pedaling Beans, I felt appreciated as a customer. The person who took our order was happy to me there and joked around with us. We stayed and visited over an hour and never felt rushed. We even ordered some smoothies 'to go' when we made our first order (over an hour before we left) and they were happy to have them for us when we left. - no complaints about how long it took us. I would highly recommend this coffee house.

Been here many times over the last few years. I always get my morning coffee here. Awesome coffee and friendly service. I always miss this place when i'm home. If you're in the area make a point of stopping by.

The decor is cool, the staff were very nice, even though it was busy, and my cappuccino was good.

Great coffee and pretty good service!! With free fast Wi-Fi!!

This is my favorite place for my signature drink- frozen Breve with an extra shot of espresso, caramel sauce and whipped cream. Try it. You’ll love it!!! And don’t forget to grab one of the 9 bean croissants as well.

I love thier cafe latte, as close as I can fine to an Australian style flat white. Pretty yummy scones as well. They keep a bunch of bird feeders well stocked so you can watch them and enjoy the cozy atmosphere.
