I truly only like posting great reviews so this is difficult. Both my wife and I were not impressed. Coffee was average. The location was indeed clean. However what was most disappointing was the poor unfriendly customer service. Neither she or I felt invited and we went in for our orders seperately (as we took turns because we had a dog on leash outside with our daughter). We visit many coffee shops across the state and country and this was simply a disappointing experience.

This is the cutest little coffee shop. Such good vibes. I had my first ever Matcha latte there and the barista made it so delicious. I’ve had a latte and two of their toasts. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the toasts are. I have had the pear toast and the avocado toast. Both have angelically blessed my taste buds.

Dreamy. Though the baristas were a little cold, it’s the perfect stop if you take your coffee black; well-curated/design-centric retail wall; indoor and outdoor seating. Brunch served daily—the toasts are to die for! (Pear Toast. *Chef’s kiss.*)

Better than 5 star! If I could give 10, I would! The cappuccinos are the best in the USA and possibly the world! Both the avocado toast and the pear & goat cheese toast have just the right amount of all ingredients so the flavors compliment each other without overpowering. Yum yum yum!!!!!

Try the orange blossom latte! Its seasonal and the best coffee Ive had yet. Fantastic coffee shop with amazing food too. If you like lox, you have to try their version. Deliciously salty and the fresh dill sets it apart.

Coffee is garbage tastes like water. Hotel coffee tastes better. Why spend your money here when you can actually get a decent coffee at Starbucks for the same price!

My family and I are visiting from Ohio and wanted some coffee from a local place and decided to try this one because of how conveniently located it was. I was super excited to see a cereal milk latte on the menu! I had to get it! It was delicious! I loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place! And the baristas were very classy:)

The coffee was strong but flavorful. Loved the sweet swirled bun w/powdered sugar on top. Yum! Also liked being able to sit outside on this lovely morning. We will visit again.

This was one of the best meals I’ve had in the state. The macchiato was perfect! The breakfast sandwich was wonderful. A perfect blend of flavors, all well cooked. The space is cozy and sparse but expands through the building into the back yard.There staff was friendly and pleasant. Service was fast too. I highly recommend this spot and I can’t wait to go back.

They made our nice little getaway into a memorable weekend! Thank You!Between my husband and I, we shared the avocado toast with the pickled egg, delicious, and the quiche, mmm so good. I had the M25, it reminded me of the cold coffee I grew up with in India. The whole Bay City experience was good but the amazing breakfast is why we will go back.

Classic cozy perfect independent third wave coffee shop in Downtown Bay City MI. It’s all about the coffee here. Home made syrups. Plenty of alternative milk choices. Full tea menu. Brunch menu growing constantly and very popular with the regulars. A cooler full of non coffee choices you don’t find too many places. A cabinet full of CRUST Bakery pastries with plenty of options that can be warmed (or not). But let me finish where I started: it’s all about the coffee. They have NOT forgotten to keep the quality and love in the brews as they expand and diversify the menu. Don’t waste your time on pump bottle syrups you can get in the grocery or club stores. If you want a good espresso, pour over and all the variations - go to a place that loves what the do and do it well. Go here.

I was in the area for a business meeting and wanted a vanilla macchiato. Saw this place on the map. Espresso grinds in the bottom of the cup, the milk was Luke warm and no vanilla. Yea waste of time. 25 minutes for a macchiato that wasn’t good at all. And the girl asked if I was sure I wanted a macchiato! Not returning

Review №63

Took 30 minutes from time I walked in till I got my coffee. Coffee is decent but not worth the 30 minute wait, thus the one star. I would not go here again. Some advice: hire more people. There were 2 people working. One taking and fulfilling orders and another working in the back. I think she was making food, without a hair net or gloves. But Im not sure.

Coffee is amazing ! The quinoa salad I had was also amazing. Also its a really cool place just to hang out. My only criticism would be it is dramatically over priced. I could have made the salad at home for a fifth of the price but if youre looking for someplace cool to hang out with friends I think its worth checking out.

This is a must try coffee and tea shop. They serve great coffee and their tea is top notch. They also have good cinnamon rolls, big enough to share. Their customer service has always been outstanding and their facility is nice. Well worth the quick trip for coffee to-go or to sit and enjoy a beverage in their quiet shop.

Hands down the best coffee shop in Bay City! The coffee is top notch with plenty of options to satisfy any pallet. The service is amazing and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend this little spot. There is ample room to sit and work, a large table for conferencing with others, and even a fireplace.

Review №74

High end coffee, tea, and light meals in a well-appointed space. Its comfortable here, with your choice of window seating, benches, bars, or couches and chairs in the backroom. Everyone here is friendly, not just the staff. Its the kind of coffee shop youd expect in a big city, right here in Bay City. Grab a house blend coffee or try one of their amazing seasonal beverages. Go on Sunday for their waffle brunch, or grab a snack out of the refrigerator case. You can also get coffee supplies here, not to mention craft and import beer by the bottle.

This is an extremely nice and cozy place. It has a very hipster vibe and the cafe aspect of it is very nice. The workers seem to truly enjoy what the do and each order is made to perfection. Seasonal drinks are phenomenal! The rosemary mint latte is to die for.

Review №78

I was visiting from out of town and in search of early morning iced tea and muffins when I found this place. Id tried two other places slightly closer on my map, but one didnt open until 10 (???) and I could not find the second one and assumed it was out of business (turns out they just have no signage at all and looked closed). By the time I found H+H I was a little cranky and worried about being late to my meeting. The signage is not great on this business either (the name on the building is H+H, not Harless + Hugh) but can be found and thats the only thing I have to say that isnt lovely. The staff was immediately friendly and gracious in a sincere way, the service was fast, the herbal iced tea was excellent, and the space is a balance of hipster and cozy well executed. I recommend it.

Review №79

First off I would have to say the coffee was some of the best coffee I have ever had and the price was very reasonable. The only reason this is not a five star review is that from the minute I walked in wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, I felt like I was not welcomed there. I cant say that I wouldnt recommend the coffee but I most likely will not be returning.

Review №84

I worked in Bay City last summer, and Harless & Hugh was a weekly (ok maybe daily) staple. Now I live an hour and a half away, and all I can do is dream about this place until I happen to be in the area again.Ive tried a few different things, but an iced sea salt caramel almond milk latte is my go-to. The almond milk and caramel work really well together and give it an incredible depth of flavors while making it super smooth and creamy.When I worked in the area I tried their tacos on Taco Tuesday, and Id highly recommend. They change weekly, so if you happen to be around on a Tuesday, Id say its worth checking out.The interior is very cool and modern, with a nice mix of new and old.I now work at a coffee shop, but H+h is still my favorite. I dont know how they do what they do, but I hope they keep on doing it.

One of the better places to get artisan coffee beans in the Great Lakes Bay Region. Everything about Harless & Hugh epitomizes quality coffee. Its also a great place to sit down, relax and enjoy a pour over. They partner with Bay City bakeries and offer a number of pastries, etc. The decor is fun, interesting and comfortable. Between the front of the shop and back there is plenty of seating.
