Uptown Coffeehouse

Excellent Location! Right on the corner of the busiest point in beautiful downtown Howell. Prices are high. If you like Starbucks you won’t like their drinks. Staff is mediocre. Nice place to bring your own drink and chill.

Still continuous good service. Plenty of outdoor seating for the season yet. Like the new wood seating bar along the glass window too.

Quaint, cozy place with really good coffee. They have a lot of chairs you can get cozy in and read a book, some tables for working, and little nooks for quiet conversations. The drinks are quite good, and the prices are comparable to any of the other places, too.

Great Frozen white mocha much better than Bigby and I can walk from my house which is very nice! Nice to sit outside and people watch!

I live here, it is nice, the coffee is dank and they play good music ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would go again

I have work meetings here frequently. I love the staff. I do wish they would get Almond milk as a latte option though.

Stop by here when I’m in town for a while, which isn’t very often. I’ve probably been here 4 – 5 times over a couple years. I really like the ambiance of the place, being right on the corner of downtown it’s a great spot.
Coffee is pretty good. I am a fancy mocha gal, not the brewed stuff so I can’t say much outside of that. I enjoy their drinks, but it’s nothing like Comet Coffee in Ann Arbor or Ugly Mug in Ypsilanti. I had one of their frozen drinks and it was hugely disappointing. I should have asked to trade it in for something else but I was determined to muscle my way through it (plus they were busy). It was too ‘from a mix’ taste — not like a blended coffee drink I was hoping for. Powdery? Fake tasting. Totally shocking compared to their espresso drinks.
They seem to be consistently steady with short bursts of rushes. There is usually one to two people on staff at a time, so this can be a problem if you are in a hurry.
Pastries are a little pricey so I have yet to try one there.

I love this place. I have been coming here with friends since I was a sophomore in high school – now I’m almost through with college! The coffee is a bit pricey, but worth it. It is an independently-​owned place, so you can’t expect to pay bottom dollar, but it is also cheaper than if you were to go to Starbucks or Biggby (depending on what you get). Staff is always friendly and often remembers returning customers and their orders.

I love this place! This coffee house is the best place to go and chill with friends. My family and i went here after the christmas parade in town. I ordered the chai latte great choice. It was so sweet and warm.

Caramel Apple Pecan Pie Latte. Really, does anything more need to be said? Are you freakin’ kidding me? The mermaid and her lucky charms praline’s have nothing on this!
When we arrived it was the first snow of the year, and people were excited to curl up on the couches in front of the picture window, with a nice warm coffee and enjoy being inside!
The staff was excellent, and very friendly. The atmosphere was very cozy. The drink selection seems really sufficient (although I can’t be sure I truly got past CARAMEL. APPLE. PECAN PIE. Latte!).
I can assure you, they will be receiving a lot of our business in the future!
5 STARS for SHOP LOCAL!

The coffee and pastry were nice, and the atmosphere fun, but the service is like others have mentioned. I’m not from the area and was just looking for a nice cup of coffee and something sweet to eat. I had a lovely apple pastry with an iced latte. The reason for my low rating was the service. When I entered I was behind just one customer who had already ordered and was waiting for their coffee. I stepped over to the pastry display and checked things out, then shifted over to the counter. The person standing there was silent and did not make eye contact. She turned her head past me several times, still never acknowledging me while less than 3 feet away. She wasn’t doing anything and could have at least greeted me. It was not until I said hello in a clear tone that she would even look at me. Sad how a lack of basic customer service can ruin an experience.

This is a decent spot in what seems to be a small town. I don’t live in Howell, but I do visit at times, and during those visits, I’d stop here again for the same cup of coffee.
I came in with my fiancé and ordered up two iced coffees. While waiting for those, we perused the menu. It looked very cool and I loved their organic options, especially the organic teas. I do wish they’d offer up some coconut milk or really clean almond milk, but sadly, they do not. So if you have any kind of dairy issues, you’ve gotta drink your java straight up. Java came and it was smooth and just what we needed.
The vibe inside is cool, lots of studying going on and a little socializing. Guy behind the counter wasn’t overly friendly and seemed somewhat annoyed when we asked him any questions. We happened to be in the area for a funeral, so here’s a tip to guy behind the counter: be friendly, to everyone. Not just the regulars, but the people dressed in overly fancy clothes for a Thursday afternoon. It had been a long day, and we needed the coffee to keep us going… a friendly smile would’ve been nice, too. Also, people come in who don’t live in your town, so remember that you not only represent your coffee joint, but also represent your town. Enough said there.
So here’s the rating break down:
One star for delicious coffee
One star for location and ease of access
One star for cool vibe inside
Could’ve had one more star for friendly staff but that wasn’t the case, and could’ve had one additional star for variety in non-​dairy milk options.

Love this contemporary coffeehouse in the quaint downtown area of Howell. The service was friendly and quick. They make a mean cup of coffee.
Fancy coffee drinks are poured just right. Never bitter or sour. And they don’t have a push button like the «other guys». These guys time their espresso shots!
Jill is the friendliest barista I ever met. She knows the regulars and what they drink.
They use a coffee brand called Crimson Cup which is really good. I bought a bag to brew at home.
They have a few pastry items like bagels, muffins and a quiche like egg dish, but remember, this is a COFFEE house, NOT a bakery.
There are a variety of seating: high top, tables, recliners and sofas. They even have a great little window seat! And free wifi!
Truly the best place to get coffee in Howell!
