I hate to post negative reviews but i like to keep the public informed. I went to splurge on myself on a cup of iced coffee with cold foam using oat milk. The second i tasted it the oat milk i could tell had been expired. It immediately separated and tasted and felt like cottage cheese on your tongue. Very unsafe for your health to drink expired milk products. I spent $8 on a cup of coffee just to pour it down the drain. After i left work i wanted to let them know that they should check the dates on their milk products and the staff looked at me like oh whoops or like they had no idea what i was talking about. I had picture evidence. I decided to go back so i could just get one of their flavored drip coffees "specified upon ordering" with room for cream (then put my own milk in at home). They then put just regular medium roast in my cup which is fine.. but again not what i ordered. I have had a couple similar experiences at this business. I will continue to doordash coffee to my work from now on. I suggest you do the same. I don't know whether to blame on inexperience or just carelessness.

It wasn't busy upon arrival so we ordered right away. Staff wasn't overly friendly but they weren't dismissive either. Drinks were ok. Nothing special. I felt like my drink needed a little more sugar and cream, so I just added it at the side table. The inside was decent size with a good amount of seating. It was kinda cozy too. Overall, it was good but not great. Service Take out Meal type Other Price per person $1–10

Great ambience and a beautiful setup to enjoy delicious coffee. I had their sugar free hazelnut latte and it tasted awesome. The place has a very warm and friendly vibe which I absolutely loved in this cold weather. Plus they offer great merchandise, especially coffee cups and coffee canisters.

Espresso Bay is a fantastic coffee shop that truly stands out in the Traverse City area. Their attention to detail in crafting high-quality beverages is evident in every sip, and their friendly and knowledgeable staff only adds to the welcoming atmosphere of the shop. I wish we had one in the local Detroit Area. The Peppermint Crunch Chip Cold Brew Coffee I ordered after breakfast at The Towne Plaza was the perfect morning pick-me-up. The refreshing mint flavor combined with the rich coffee and crunchy peppermint chips is a unique and delightful combination that I enjoyed thoroughly. Beyond their exceptional beverages, Espresso Bay also has a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes it a great spot to relax and unwind--especially but the massive stone fireplace. The comfortable seating, warm lighting, and charming decor create an ambiance that is perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. Overall, I highly recommend Espresso Bay to anyone in the Traverse City area looking for a top-notch coffee experience and a unique array of coffee and non-coffee drinks. From their delicious drinks to their inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, Espresso Bay truly has it all. Service Take out Meal type Other Price per person $1–10

Just OK. Coffee wasn’t too bad. My husband got the caramel latte and I got the caramel vanilla latte. They were ok. Would come back. 3 1/2 stars would be a better option. Meal type Breakfast Price per person $1–10 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes Bagel

I love this place. I am currently struggling with homelessness, and I come in to buy a coffee with my little bit of change, and they let me sit there, work on my art, charge my devices and somwtime cry. It's a very warm atmosphere. I'm always welcomed with a smile. Which is rare to come by these days. Thank you guys for being cool!

Nice coffee place in the heart of traverse city. The location is good. I like the ambience. They’ve made it local. Interesting collection of coffees. You can grab a cup of coffee and sit across the street on the lake front enjoying the amazing view. A suggestion to the owner- please add dark chocolate mocha to your menu. I’m a big fan.
