This place is absolute perfection! The staff is wonderful and prompt with orders even at high volume! The cafe also offers art classes!
You can’t help but love this place! The food is great whether you choose breakfast, lunch, drinks or goodies! Service is great, too! Nice place on the water, relaxed atmosphere.
We got an iced latte & a smoothie at Watercolor Cafe on our last morning on the island. Both were delicious & we will definitely be back for food. Servers were friendly & the atmosphere was inviting. I saw many options on the menu for those with dietary restrictions which was nice.
The poptart was hands down the best poptart of my life. The cafe is a great place right on the water. Fruit bowls were also fantastic! Highly recommend!
Love the sandwich “The Monet”.
Such a cute cafe, right in the marina. They have art supplies available for drawing/ coloring while relaxing and enjoying your drinks and food. Always a go to for me when I visit!
We had to find this place to try out their "pop tart" pastries and we are so glad we did! We had our dogs with us, and they have a nice little outside seating area where we enjoyed our breakfast and coffee with the pups! They weren't super busy the day we showed up, which was nice! The staff was very friendly, and the food and coffee was great!
A favorite stop on the island for breakfast or lunch + a great drink; excellent service and setting. Owner and staff fully invested, it’s clear.
Came in for lunch and had a very tasty chicken sandwich and an oat milk latte. Both were very reasonably priced for island standards and were delicious!! The atmosphere and location right on the water can’t be beat. Great staff and service, didn’t take long to get our order. Highly recommend checking it out if you like quaint, cute cafes with more than just bagels and burned coffee.
Our favorite brunch spot in Mackinac Island. Our recommendation is to get the food and drinks to go and bike around the island for a picnic. It’s a small cafe that is prone to running out of seating. Great coffee and food. There is no bathroom.
The breakfast sandwich on sourdough was excellent, but we were really blown away by the lilac latte! The color is very on-theme for Mackinac, and the use of taro is genius in terms of flavor. It had a great creamy, nutty, almost caramel taste that blended perfectly with the coffee flavor. We will definitely be back next time we’re on Mackinac!
Absolutely delightful. Fantastic sandwich and latte. It's wonderful to be able to sit, look at the water and relax away from the hustle and bustle of the town.
This place is so cute and a must-see on Mackinac Island! This spot rests right on the water and has such a peaceful vibe to be in while looking at the boats docked. But, most importantly, their drinks are delicious! My wife and I came here because we wanted to try their Lilac Lattes, and they were even better than expected! The purple taro and coffee is so delicious, and they had oat milk, so they are delicious and vegan friendly! Make sure to put this on your list of tasty places to try while you’re visiting.
Lovely spot for innovative flavors and good comfort food and drink. I loved the Cranky Cure smoothie which dares to mix it up with cold brew.
Fabulous! Cheerful, efficient staff, tasty fare, and really good coffee. Lovely outdoor seating and right on the water - perfection!
Stopped for a latte, it was undrinkable. More details per owners request. I ordered a plain hot latte after standing in line for quite a while, 15-20 minutes. The latte tasted like it had some flavor or syrup or something in it. I don’t know if it was made incorrectly, if the beans you use are soaked in syrup, or if the equipment wasn’t cleaned appropriately, but either way it tasted terrible, and I disposed of it at the first trash can I came across. I will be getting my coffee elsewhere on future trips.
This little place is off the beaten path and is worth a visit. The food is delicious. Highly recommend the chicken salad and iced lilac latte. Prices are very reasonable especially on this island.
Best food on the island. Smoothie and bfast sandwich were delicious. View was great, had a little craft corner with crayons, markers, and coloring books for littles. Inside and outside seating (minimal shade).
This place is awesome! Kate, the owner, along with her staff are wonderful. Great place for delicious coffee and breakfast. They also have art workshops too.
Great spot for a healthy breakfast or lunch. Smoothie bowls are great and there is coloring for the kids. Limited seating but a nice space!
