The best coffee shop I have found in a while. The drinks are always fantastic and there is a startlingly wide variety of specialties and flavors to choose from. The staff is always wonderful and never fails to brighten my day. As for the atmosphere, dare-say, it may be the best aspect about LoLoBee's? It feels like a place where everyone is not only welcome but also wanted. There's also a lot of comfy chairs. You can play games, you could read a book, study, join a book club or become involved with with the assortment of local community events that are held here. It feels like the place that the cast of a sitcom would be regulars at, just so they can sit down and exist with one another. So to answer the prompt that asked if I'd like to write a review; Yes, yes I do feel like, "LoLoBee's is so good that it's like the most adorable bumblebee threw up in your mouth."

This darling coffee shop is a diamond in a small town like Bay City. The owner is from New Orleans, LA and it definitely shows in the love she puts into the space. Not only is it a fun, safe space for all but the coffee is good and there’s live music often. Also a TV with a Nintendo switch you can play with! Highly recommend coming here whether it’s to study or just relax with friends.

We were super excited to try out a new coffee shop during a Bay City trip and I’m so happy that this is where we landed. I loved the atmosphere and welcoming cozy vibe so much. The coffee is amazing the aesthetic and atmosphere is phenomenal. Can’t wait to come back!!

Lolobee's Lounge in Bay City filled a niche that our little town was missing - a late night spot without alcohol. It's become a great addition to the community - there's snacks and drinks of course (try the Vietnamese-inspired iced coffee).
But there's instruments to be played if you want to try for tips, video games to play, board games and books, cozy furniture, and art for sale. And that doesn't touch in the events - open mics, trivia, and even a book club in collaboration with the local library system.
Absolutely worth a stop and a sip.

It's probably one of the best coffee lounges I've come across in Bay City. Barista was very friendly and drinks were great, no upcharge for milk alternatives. Great place for hanging out with friends and a safe place for queer people. Also, it stays open until midnight, so it's a great place to work on stuff.
Excellent atmosphere! I've loved watching this place grow and be accepted by other people show casing their art. Trivia night is always fun. Very friendly and kind owners! I love their vietnamese coffee as well as anything glacial. Seasonal drinks are my favorite to try. 💖
LoLoBee's is more than a coffee shop. It is the perfect creative place to unwind. When you come in there is art on the walls from local artists, there are comfy chairs and wide tables, there is a small bookshelf if you feel compelled to read or boardgames if you are bringing a group. The bathroom facilities are sparkling clean. And there are monthly events like musical guests and poetry jams. But what makes this place shine is their friendly staff. They make you feel like this is your home away from home. Their menu is top notch with muffins, coffee, tea and frappes.
It is also a place where you can come and relax, play a few games on their Nintendo switch. Or you can connect with friends and artists. LoLoBee's has become the happening hot spot of bay city performers/creatives.
Can you get a cup of coffee at places like Tim Horton's, McDonald's and Starbucks? Sure. But those places are so in a hurry to get you out the door you barely have any time to think. Also, Lolobees coffee tastes better. I find that I go there to get my favorite drink and muffin and write for 90 minutes. It is cozy and clean and great for the community. I hope they stick around for a long time because they definitely have a customer for life.

My daughter and I absolutely love this place. She wanted her birthday party here and we were given full access and excellent service. They made 14 kids (7 and 8 year olds) incredibly happy and helped in every way possible to accommodate us. I will forever come here. Much love ❤️

Lolobee's is so much more than a coffee shop, though the drinks are fantastic, of course (don't miss the seasonal specials). They are wonderful people who are incredibly kind and welcoming to absolutely everyone. They are very inclusive and community centered, supporting a large variety of local artists and musicians and providing people of all ages with a safe place to relax, meet with friends, and enjoy a delicious drink. You are seriously missing out if you don't give this place a try.
The Ambiance and Location of this Place is Incredible! Plus they’re Open Noon - Midnight. So for another wanting Fun late night plans that involve a Tea or Coffee instead of an Alternative drink, it’s Absolutely the Place for YOU! The Owners & Staff are Incredible! And if you’re Lucky to come on Nights with events going on you’ll get Blessed with a Good Time as well. 5 ⭐️’s & Above! I definitely recommend you stop in the next time you’re looking for a Good Place to go in BayCity MI!
Ps: Their Pistachio Muffins are TOO DIE FOR!🧁
