Green Clean Bean

The best coffee in the entire Thumb of Michigan, get 2 or 3 and put in your thermos if traveling. The laundromat is clean works great, restrooms are clean. Pet friendly 2 decks to share with your 4 legged friend. The baked goods are very good, scones my favorite.

Only coffee place in town I think. Close to the pier and walking distance from downtown. Great place to chill on the patio and people watch with the kayak store across the street.

I am new to Port Austin and was in town and walked into the Green Clean Bean to the most welcoming person ever (later found out he was the owner). I was happy there was a laundry facility closer than Caseville or Bad Axe where I've been going since moving here and told him so. The owner gave me his card and the hours and I am online making sure they are open since it is after Labor Day and I realize this area is seasonal and some businesses may not always be open all the time.

I just happened to see this review which I copied and pasted here and feel compelled to comment on. This review is so typical of people who think the world evolves around only them. So it's okay to park anywhere one wants for their convenience and not be considerate of others? Wonder whose idea it was to park there in the first place. What this woman failed to mention was that it was raining and apparently hard since the owner's response indicated that he was getting soaked. I have 2 daughters and I would not have allowed my daughter to park as this mother did. Besides, I raised my girls to be respectful, considerate and thoughtful of others. It's unfortunate that some people cannot take ownership for their choices. To think that this one bad choice on the part of this writer would cause a family to not support a local business is a bit overboard ... don't you think? I wonder what the other "lots of people" this writer knows in Port Austin would do in this same situation. Maybe she could put herself in the other person's shoes ... I think the owner was tolerant with what he had to deal with. Kudos to him! Coming from a small town called Antioch outside of the Chicago area, I support local businesses. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to be successful. Being an establishment dealing with customers is not always easy. As we know, there are those that can make a business-owner's day quite challenging as this day was. Be kind, considerate, courteous and thoughtful of others and support local businesses. It doesn't take much to do so; and others will notice and "pay it forward".

Here's that review: "A man whom I assume is the owner of this shop just made sure that my family will never be back by treating us with utmost rudeness. Because there were no parking spots on the road and because I was waiting in the car while my daughter got a coffee and because there's no sign prohibiting it, I parked in the driveway while she ran in. The man pulled up behind me blocking me in and began unloading things from his car. He could see me sitting in my car so I thought it was odd but I figured he'd let me out when my daughter came out. Nope. My daughter VERY politely apologized for parking there and asked him to let us leave and he refused and kept unloading. I got out of the car and reminded him that I would gladly have moved if he had asked me and that now he had alienated us as customers. That didn't do it either. He just kept doing his business while we waited. It seems like a bad business model. I live in Port Austin and I know lots of people. Remember, at no time were we anything but polite. You must all decide for yourselves, but my family will never be back."

Good coffee...check....Good dog....check....Great owner....check.
Unusual place...if I lived here I'd bring my laundry.

The coffee was delicious! I was pleased to find a good place during our family vacation in Port Austin. Ordered black coffee and a carmel frappuccino. Barista wasn't quick but the drinks were delicious!

I love this place. Haven't had to use the laundry services in a while now but the room was comfortable to work in when I did. The coffee is great and it's a nice little room to use wifi for a bit.

The gentleman that owns the establishment is friendly and a wonderful conversationalist. The coffee is amazing and the atmosphere is welcoming. Will definitely be back

Most fun I've had at the laundromat! Great coffee, snacks and pleasant conversation. Laundry was reasonably priced for a resort area.

Amazing coffee made by the kindest soul. Grab your coffee and head out on the deck and enjoy.
