About Us

We opened our doors in 1994 in downtown Saugatuck, Michigan. Our goal was always to deliver to our customers the best tasting coffee possible in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. In addtion to providing great coffee, we offer made from scratch baked goods and an interesting and healthful food menu and juice bar.

We enjoy running our cafe, holding special events regularly featuring live music and art openings with art works created by our talented baristas and other local artists. Our baristas are a dedicated group that is continually learning to the intricacies of coffee and coffee preparation.

All of our coffees are roasted onsite at our cafe located in downtown Saugatuck. We roast carefully, in small batches, ensuring that we bring out the best in each coffee. Our coffees are globally sourced and organic and fair trade whenever possible. We offer many varietals and are always searching for the best the growers have available. Our roasters, like our baristas and bakers, are constantly learning in order to bring our customer the best product we can.

Our business continues to grow with our on-line store and wholesale accounts. We hope you visit our cafe soon, enjoy our coffee at home by visiting our on-line store, or enjoy our coffee at one of the cafes/restaurants/bed and breakfasts that serve our coffee.
