This is now Madcap Coffee. Excellent quality coffee.
My family and I were visiting Leland for a short weekend. We stumbled upon Madcap Coffee. It was the best experience! We have twin two year olds and they were super accommodating in helping make them their own "kid coffees". The experience and the great tasting coffee had me coming back two more times. Thank you!
Great coffee, great team! There is no better coffee on the Leelanau Penninsula. It is a must visit. They have wonderful blends (recommend Special Origin Coffees) and will accommodate any request. They have limited hours in the colder months and open every day in high season. There is a wonderful place to sit outside during the summer and they are adding indoor seating for the colder months. They love dogs!
Great atmosphere, my mocha was top notch and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend.
Great service and coffee with a smile, good value also
I’m Italian and I know what a good espresso is. This is super acidic. Wondering if from time to time they taste what they serve. And it’s 3.75$ for one shot. Sorry but nope.
Solid coffee, friendly staff. Would recommend.

Fast, friendly, free wifi
I've been roasting my own coffee for 30 years, and had some experience with professional sensory evaluation of coffee, wine, beer, cigars and distilled spirits- and this is truly terrible coffee. Acidic, but lacking fruity/flowery or citrusy brightness, with vegetal undertones, it tastes like an over-extracted Central American coffee that's been over-roasted to cover defects. While I don't have a problem drinking stuff like this in the context of roughing it, or when the only coffee available is from a gas station in the middle of nowhere, my expectations for a $3.75 cup of coffee are that it's a decent quality bean and made correctly. Also, to mirror another reviewer's comments- interacting with the annoyed hipsters in the store regarding the online ordering requirement is less than pleasant. The online ordering requirement is fine- but the list of items for purchase isn't logically ordered or categorized, and it's not clear when ordering more than one of something (like two black coffees), how to specify one with cream and one black. That's not a big problem, right? But after one encounter with the annoyed hipster, I just didn't feel like another exchange before my first morning coffee. Bottom line: the coffee is less than mediocre, and you'll want to bring a little patience if you need to interact with the employees.
Fantastic coffee shop in Leland. Always surprised at how good their coffee is.
Yucky
You have to place your order online which is fine, but there’s no information posted about ordering online or what WiFi to use. You just kind of wander around until somebody tells you what you’re supposed to do. I wanted to order some coffee beans, but some items are not listed to purchase. The employee wasn’t very helpful, just told me it was listed between two products on the menu. I didn’t bother asking for more help as they didn’t seem too thrilled to help out. Save your money.
Terrible coffee, online ordering only, no cell service so you have to log in to their WiFi, did not like
They know how to make great coffee at this sweet little place. Looking forward to the day they are back and hoping next summer we can enjoy normal coffee dates again.
Rudest people ever! Won't be back. In case you haven't read the executive order mask is REQUIRED IN CROWDED OUTDOOR SPACES! It was NOT crowded. They charge you for ice! Worst service I have ever had anywhere!
Blue Boat makes actually flavorful espresso and coffee drinks. Delicious scones and croissants as well! Would be a regular here if I lived around the area :)
Caught last day of the season. Was a nice surprise to find coffee.
Pricey.
Terrible coffee and staff was not very friendly. Literally threw our coffee in the garbage outside and found a great little place on the corner that sold candy and fantastic coffee.
