From our beloved regulars
Nice people only! From the barista who crafted my custom latte based on her recommendations to the kind customer who sat next to me, everyone here is NICE. The latte and veggie quiche were excellent, but still am most impressed by humans being good. This place takes you back to what local coffee shops should be. Can’t recommend enough!
The coolest place! The decor/vibe is impressive, the coffee and food are so good and the staff is knowledgeable and kind. If you’re in the area definitely check this place out!
Lovely! The best iced vanilla latte in town. Friendly staff, beautiful design, lots of seating inside and out - with a fire pit 😃 Delicious baked goods, waffles, specialty toast
In my opinion, this is the best coffee shop in town. I've tried what appears to be the top, few coffee shops, but I would say this one is the best. The flavors are perfect and the presentations are perfect. Especially since I use almond milk, which tends to be a little harder on the presentation then cow milk. The vibes are relaxing and calm. Lots of seating. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have outdoor seating in the front of the building and in the back. The staff is friendly and engaging. A lot of great vibes here and great coffee. They also carry amazing baked goods from a local bakery shop. Chocolate, croissants, cheese, croissants, almond croissants, sticky buns, etc..
Bay City’s Finest!!! This place is classy and cute! The brown sugar latte iced coffee was DELICIOUS!! The pastries were yummy and fresh. I was in town for 2 days (stayed in the perfect airbnb upstairs) and visited the coffee shop each morning and afternoon for yumminess💜 You can sit and read in the front window on a cozy soft rug, or there is a nice back room with tables, and also an adorable back outdoor area! Highly recommend!
I’ve been slipping into this place most mornings before work and… yeah, it’s basically therapy with espresso. Rustic wood floors, soft leather chairs, and the kind of lighting that makes your soul exhale. Add in the smell of fresh coffee and the sound of chill music — it’s the adult version of a security blanket. Every corner feels curated but lived-in. Like a Pinterest board that grew up and stopped trying too hard. The staff? Chill and kind. The drinks? Always on point. And outside? String lights and wood fencing like you’re about to get proposed to by a guy in a denim jacket. If you need a spot to breathe, read, think, or just escape Michigan chaos for 20 minutes — this is it.
Such a calming atmosphere. The wood burning fire place soothes the senses with the warm scent of hardwood. Live plants bring a calming to the space. Skilled staff crafts the best drinks and delights. You get what you pay for, the prices aren't cheap, but are competitive with other cafes. The value is in the experience. In my opinion this is the best coffee in the Tri Cities, if not the whole state.
We stop here on our way home from northern Michigan and love it! The coffee is high quality. I got a cortado for here and it was served in such a cool mug. The toast and pastries they serve are delicious. If you’re stopping in Bay City, stop here then hit the antique store around the corner.
Good espresso drinks (the macchiato and cortado are my favorites), great service, comfortable seating areas. It was a beautiful day, so we sat in the back porch area. The cherry scone was great and the smoked salmon sandwich was excellent! While the decaf espresso shots weren't quite dialed-in, I'd definitely visit again and would recommend Harless + Hugh Coffee.
It was such a beautiful place. We enjoyed spending time there. So cozy and satisfying. Good food and drink. Thank you so much!
