Raspberry mocha
Beautiful, top quality, unique clothing! Friendly staff!
Absolutely The BEST coffee(s) in town, bar none. No wait, professional service. Perfect grind, filtered water, right temperatures, certified baristas. I like the cold brews.
My go-to cup of dirty chai every week. I couldn't imagine Manistee without this place!
This store always has an amazing selection of quality clothing and happens to serve not only great fresh coffee but amazing espressos. Friendly staff is a plus. Wife and I moved up here from Chicago and could not be more pleases with the clothing which is always quality at reasonable pricing and just as important the excellent coffee.
Drank coffee there a few times a month and always satisfied with them. Today, I bought the thick fall north face jacket and it kept me warm! Great collection of high quality clothings.
Lots of great clothing items. Awesome coffee too.
Adorable coffee shop, bought a cute shirt for $40 on clearance
Great store with clothes and a coffee shop
i got their cold brew and it was yummy. love a yummy drink
First time trying out this spot for coffee and was not disappointed. The mint mocha was a perfect blend and I loved that it wasn't too sugary. The barista was very nice and informative.
Coffee was good, the coffee person messed up the order and also corrected us on how to say "caramel". But otherwise, good place and the only place to get coffee in town. I liked the outdoor seating.
On my leisurely trip up the coast of Lake Michigan, I stopped in the town of Manistee. After wandering around town I stepped into the Outpost for a caffeinated beverage. The Outpost is a lifestyle clothing store with a full coffee bar as an added feature. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have a well-representative selection of locally roasted direct trade coffee and locally grown and blended organic tea. I appreciate the emphasis on local. So many towns deplete themselves by patronizing chains that send profits elsewhere. I'd drink bad local coffee before I'd drink chain coffee. Fortunately, this was not the case at the Outpost. Laina was my barista. She was pleasant, but a little curious when I asked if she could make a good Americano. Even though the drink is simple, many seem to muck it up by over-diluting. I ordered a double Americano - she put two shots of espresso and filled the 12 oz. cup not quite full. She nailed it. I admired the caramel crema that formed on the top - just as it should - and inhaled the rich aroma. Customers were browsing the clothing selection, but I was ready to sit and ponder stuff while I sipped on this exquisite brew. There are several high-top tables in the front of the store, but I opted for the outdoor seating. I like to people watch as I ponder. I always like to admire my coffee before I taste it - let the anticipation build. That first sip was exactly as I hoped it would be. Friends, if you're in Manistee and want a delicious coffee or tea - and support a local business - stop by The Outpost. You won't be disappointed.
Good coffee, friendly service. Would highly recommend.
We love stopping in The Outpost for the local smiles and delicious coffee. I personally love the iced latte made with cold brew! They also have a ton of high end outdoor gear for sale your next adventure!
Delicious chai latte, excellent service! I really appreciate the Christ-like way they welcome and chat with the locals who stop in!
I went into The Outpost only expecting a hot coffee, and at $3, it should be. Or at least some common courtesy as I had a couple of questions on my 1st trip in. This is a fine clothing store that has some cafe equipment in it, so don’t expect a cafe atmosphere or fresh coffee.
Great clothing and coffee bar.
Very nice place. Great quality merchandise. Nice customer service.
Nice clothes and easy to shop.
