Espresso Bay

Open early & such a welcoming place to grab a cup of coffee.

Stopped by on vacation, bought a bag of their light roast, opened it up at home and it is medium if not darker. Not bad but far from light.

Great tasting coffee however I will be honest when my husband and I came in to order one early morning the barista Paula seemed as if us being there was a complete inconvenience to her.. she just seemed cold when we would ask questions about the menu and adding creamer to our coffee! I wish we could have had more friendly service.

First time visitor. Had a very tasty latte. Coffee quality was much better than the average shop.

A line out the door was another good sign.

Really enjoyed the frozen caramel drink. Having worked at a smoothie place for 3 years as a young adult one thing that drives me crazy is when a drink is not smooth. That is not the case here. It was creamy, right consistency of ice and espresso. The price was a little high, but its Traverse City pricing along with everyone else. I'll be wishing that you had a store down by me for a while.

Very kind, and delicious baked goods!!

Nice coffee shop. I only got a quick drip coffee to go, so I can't speak for their lattes and such. But the service was quick and friendly, coffee was good. They had cold brew available I saw at the end of the counter.
It looks like they offer a selection of baked goods too.

Best place in town, this crew knows what they are doing! The are in the center of town so its a busy place, but when you step in your treated with quick individual care! The atmosphere is both bright and relaxing. I won't go anywhere else, and love that it's only a block away from the beachfront.

Great coffee, polite staff, but a kind of dirty. It's not really a place you want to sit and have a coffee or snack because it's always busy with street traffic and public restroom goers and it's not kept very clean. It feels and looks more like a public space than a private shop. I recently had the lavish lavender latte (lavender and vanilla) and it was absolutely delicious.

I was in the middle of a kayak bike tour dying for coffee and stopped here. It was so amazing and in a great location.
