Cuppa Joe in Traverse City

Best coffee in town! Locally owned. Holding their own even though a national chain decided they needed open up right next door. (Not cool Starbucks 😠)

Best little coffee shop! I always skipped it because the outside looks a little old and faded, but the coffee is delicious and the service was fast. I walked in instead of using the drive thru and it smells amazing inside. Great experience!

Great place, when they have the blueberry scones!

I do not understand the rave reviews here lol we ordered a toffee latte and a caramel coffee. Both were nearly flavorless, and i'm not that picky about my lattes. You're basically paying Starbucks prices for tepid bean water. And next-to-no pastry selection. The choices were lime scone or cinnamon scone, and they came from the bakery across the street so I think we'll just go there next time we're in town

Great service and great coffee. Get a discount if you bring your own cup. My dog loves her drive-thru milkbones too.

My favorite coffee in town! I come here all the time during my commute to/from NMC. The employees are always friendly and fast. When there’s a line of cars in the busy mornings, it always goes quickly. Often times someone will come out and take everyone’s orders so that they can get a head start on your order before you get to the window. They’ll even come out in the freezing rain. Also just a note, I’ve seen many of the same employees there for months/Years, which suggests that the owner must be doing something right. There’s so much turnover everywhere else in town.So keep up the good work! ^_^

This is a great drive thru. I only drink espresso or cappucinos and several years back they changed where they got beans from and they are not as good, but the scones and other pastries are great. I wish they would go back to the original beans and I would be a regular customer. Also, a toffee latte, caramel coffee or white raspberry mocha is NOT coffee! Those are flavored milk drinks with a splash of espresso no matter where you buy them.

10 out of 10. Blows the place across the street out of the water.

Best espresso and espresso drinks around!

Don't let the appearance fool you of this little drive thru. Ignore the Starbucks nearby and go here. Proper coffee.

Happy surprise, google reviews made me try it and it was worth it. I got a caramel Iced coffee and it was delicious.

Loveee the mocha brave...💯💯💯💯

Yummy breakfast treats and coffee. A nice break from McDonald's or Dunkin Donuts.

The coffee and homemade baked goods are unlike anyother in town...Starbucks has nothing to offer iver Cuppa Joe! Chocolate croissant is ansensual way to start your day💜

Cute little drive through coffee shop

Not what I expected. Wish I knew to add sugar to my cappuccino.... strong hot mess. Maybe I'm not a true coffee person. I thought cappuccinos had sweet flavor.

Nice drive-through location to grab a quick coffee or small snack. There is only one entrance off of Garfield Ave and the lines can be long at certain times throughout the morning. Quick and friendly service makes this a nice stop on your morning commute.

Excellent local coffee company.

Some of the best coffee in Traverse! I really enjoyed my white chocolate mocha. Would recommend to anyone

Great staff, kind, the owner is amazing , Sandi

Great staff, excellent coffee

Best coffee in Traverse City!

Couldn't have made it through cosmetology school without this place. It was a near daily stop for coffee and a bagel or scone. Always a friendly face at the drive though window. Thank you!

Killer coffee and bakrd goods!

Love small business

If you're in the mood for great coffee early then go see Amanda! She is an absolute ray of sunshine and an amazing barista. This girl deserves way more then she is probably getting paid. Its so refreshing to come across someone in the customer service field who is so pleasant and just remembers the little things. Great place and even better staff.

I love Cuppa Joe. One of my top three coffee places I go to. The building is small but the workers go fast when needed. It'll only be backed up for a few minutes. The drive thru is the same thing. It's great prices for teenagers as well. Great thing to wake me up :).

Reasonable prices. Quick service when they aren't packed. Popular place however. High quality coffee, convenient location.

Really nice staff. Not great tea.

Above average mocha. No place to park if your going inside. Had to illegally park at Burger King

Good coffee! The best scone I've ever had!

Convenient and quick. We get breve latte here all the time. Delicious...and their blueberry scones are awesome with plenty of berries.

Great ice coffee

Great local joe!

Great people and tasty coffees.

Thought this cool espresso hut would be like Alaskan ones we miss and would be quick...it took 20 minutes and the coffee was awful!!!!😡 I got a white raspberry mocha asking for skim milk and unkempt looking barista said “but it’s made with chocolate...” ok...and then he said “whip cream?” I said “no thanks” and he said “it comes with it...” so I’m drinking a sickeningly sugary milky raspberry juice with clearly only one small shot of espresso in a 16 oz cup I can barely taste. My bagel was horrible too! How can you mess up a bagel you ask?...It had black grill marks on it like on a real grill. It was mushy when you bit it just went flat and the cream cheese I swear was in a glob in the center falling through the hole! I never bother to leave bad reviews but this is something so simple to get right it’s inexcusable.

Coffee is good, kind of expensive for what you get though. Our service was not the best either.

Best chocolate croissants and iced coffee I"ve had. And the staff are upbeat and swift.

Great coffee and friendly, fast service. I'd give ya 5 stars if you open earlier

This is by far the best cup of any coffee in Traverse city!

Rude staff. I deliver a local newspaper, when I came in to deliver them, I asked where they wanted them and the staff said, "where ever. No one reads it anyway" ok, cool. I decided while I was there to grab a coffee, so I waited at the counter. And waited. And waited. And waited. The staff finally came over. There was no menu inside, so I asked what they had, and the staff rolled her eyes and said, "coffee." I left. Never again.

Cuppa Joe has been my favorite coffee shop for years. They are always super friendly and really appreciate good quality coffee. The best coffee team in town!

New favorite place to get coffee while on vacation! They came right out to our car while we were in line to order. The coffee was great and the danish was good. I love supporting hometown places and this is a great one to stop in to.

Excellent service, good coffee, and the convenience of a drive-thru!

Fast, courteous service. Great for an afternoon coffee run while sight seeing in the area.

Fast, straight-forward drive thru to get your cuppa in the morning. Good prices. Good coffee. Highly recommend!

Dynamite coffe and food

This place is so much better than Starbucks I can't even believe it

My favorite coffee shop in TC! Best lattes and espresso, great, friendly staff. I am completely baffled that anyone would ever leave them less than a 5 star review. (and don't believe anyone who says anything they make is flavorless)

This place has great coffee and very efficient service. I recommend the Frozen Mocha. They are transcendent.
