EXCELLENT coffee. Got the Mocha and Pumpkin Spice latte. Just sweet enough without being overbearing, the foam was executed wonderfully. Also got a bag of house blend beans which I find is far superior to standard mass-produced beans you get at the store.

They make their own (really really awesome) syrups for their lattes. Bonfire mocha and lavender pistachio are two of the best. The waffles are also delicious.

The Loch has some of the best coffee in Michigan. The staff are always friendly and able to assist. They are super allergy friendly and will offer vegan, gluten free, dairy free options. I have always loved every cup of coffee I have gotten from The Loch. The owner is fantastic and started the shop from the ground up at a young age which is amazing. If you have an afternoon and want some awesome vibes, great music (one time I went in and they played the persona 5 sound track which scratched an itch Ive had to listen to that sound track at a coffee shop irl) and friendly people, definitely give The Loch a try. Ive been coming here for years and I still go back at least once a month to get the gourmet coffee fix. The best shop in town that definitely has a loyal following.

The BEST coffee in Midland according to two west coast coffee snobs! If you care about the quality of your espresso drink, this is the only place in town for you. Delicious coffee, including the simple drinks like a plain latte or cappuccino--which is the mark of a great coffee shop. House-made syrups are original and delicious. The music is always on point, and although there is a small selection of food, everything they make is DELICIOUS. Sometimes we go for the waffles...sometimes we go for the lattes...but usually we crave both!

My husband & I are visiting Midland for a few days. This morning we stopped by The Loch coffee company to have breakfast.One other person was there having coffee. We were not greeted with a hello or ill be right with you instead she looked at us & turned around walked in back room while we stood there. After 5 min we left and went to Cafe Zinc where we were greeted with friendly staff on this beautiful Thursday morn

Really enjoy the coffee here. Nice ambiance. Definitely the best espresso drinks in Midland. Great selection of tea and unique hot chocolate and flavored latte choices that change seasonally. Definitely recommend a trip here.

Im a bit hermity, but whenever I do get out these days I end up at the Loch as a refueling place. The coffee is FANTASTIC. Ive made a point to try lots of different things on the menu and everything has blown me away. The Mexican Mocha is unparalleled and they make the BEST London Fog Ive ever had. Great price point for fabulous service, delicious baked goods, and what I now consider, the best coffee in town.

Review №21

I went there today for brunch, and I was quite satisfied.I timed the delivery of our breakfast at 14 minutes for a large, delicious chorizo burrito with rich sour cream and fresh salsa on the side and my guests waffle and our coffees. The food was great all around.My Americano was exceptionally smooth and hot and complemented the donut I had alongside the burrito. Donut only captures a genre of sweets, not what I ate; these are immaculate confections: jumbo, soft, and succulent—everything a fresh donut should be—more like fresh-baked brioche than store-bought cake mix. I recommend the Loch make these donuts an everyday thing as soon as possible. Even their plain donuts are anything but ordinary and plain.The atmosphere has a retro vibe to it--retro as in 1920s-40s, with artisanal plaster tiles hanging over and huge mead-benches from Hrothgars wine-hall... a jazzy mix of Mile Davis Quintet, John Coltrane, and Chet Baker on in the background... with a half-dozen parties seated well-spaced from one another. I also appreciated the texture of the floor, for it would work well for my espresso-loving grandpa who would have trouble with his walker on carpeted floor. The staff were friendly, but did not talk your ear off, which is to my liking; Im not there to make small talk with anybody but my partner, anyway.The pricing is what you would expect from a mom-and-pop shop, so if you want to save money, I recommend the gas station down the road.... and if you only want Starbucks, Duncan, and Tims for your coffee and donut options, then dont frequent small businesses. I like having local options. You can get Starbucks at three locations in Ho Chi Minh City; you can only get the Loch coffee in Midland, so why compare them to Starbucks? It would be one thing to compare the Loch to other local coffee shops, such as Espresso Milano, who also care about their beans, the people who harvest them, and how theyre roasted after harvest. Its another thing altogether to compare a small business with a multi-national, multi-billion-dollar grossing company, who will survive the pandemic just fine without your patronage.

Tried to go there for the first time today. Website said open until 6. Walked in the back door at 330pm excited to try it and they said they were closed for cleaning. Perhaps should lock the door or update the website. I guess I’ll call next time before going.

Fantastic spot to get great food and strong coffee. The Nitro Brew will wake you from a coma. The Spinach and cheese croissant is sold out by lunchtime.If youre in the MBS Tricity area, give it a shot, not too far from any Dow Facilities or Dow Gardens.

Took 45 minutes for a mediocre cup of house coffee and cold waffles. Wasn’t even busy. Bad.Edit: To provide context for the owners comments below, he did give us 2 doughnuts and apologized for having to wait 45 minutes for a cup of coffee and waffles. Spoiler alert: we still had to wait 45 minutes for a cup of coffee and waffles. Hahaha.

I love Loch’s second location downtown! Right across the street from where I work so it’s very convenient to get my fave iced maple and brown sugar latte!! Great place to get some work done or meet with a friend to chat. Wishing Loch great success!

Review №35

Been coming here since it opened. Love the place. Only complaints are that the pastry selection is occasionally odd, the parking lot is awkward, and the cost of things is a little high, but the price is well worth the quality. The coffee is delicious -- best Ive ever had, with a good selection of both conventional and creative. Likewise for the teas. The pastries are delicious (most of the time). The weekend waffles are delicious, and a hearty serving too. The staff is very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is so unique and relaxing. The owner is awesome. Just an all around great place and the only place I care to go for coffee anymore.

Consistently delicious. The vibe, the coffee, the food is all on point. They have fantastic rotating syrups which are very unique.I recommend the brown sugar maple latte iced. And grab a goat cheese spinach scone. You will not be disappointed.They also offer matcha which I consider essential for a good coffee shop. And they do a lot with it. Different flavors and styles of drinks.

If you’re looking for a pour over, this is THE place to go in Midland. Super fresh coffee from their roaster in Mt Pleasant meticulously brewed into your cup. Several single origin coffees to choose from to please your palate.

This was my first time here. Got one of their lattes that was intriguing. I am formerly from Southern California so I have some experience with coffee houses. The Loch Coffee Company has some innovative flavors of coffee as well as a creative breakfast menu. I will be coming back for the coffee but I may have to get up early and get breakfast!

Rode our bikes here Saturday evening around 6 (they close at 7) and it was very quiet. Its a large area with lots of seating including a few seats outside. I had the nitro cold brew, yummy.Stephanie was very friendly and helped us figure out if a specific tea was decaf but we instead decided on a simple decaf coffee (which was also delicious).We also had the last very berry bar (which is made there) and that too was delicious. I think next time Ill try a gluten free option 😊For meeting friends or a quiet reading spot this seems to fit the bill and Im looking forward to visiting again soon.

Review №46

This is a lovely little spot! Super cozy and trendy looking on the inside. Its a barebones, small establishment with a lot of love put into it.They basically only serve coffee and dessert baked goods here, so dont expect a four course meal. The prices are pretty standard for a trendy coffee shop... Between 1 and 5 dollars per drink depending on how fancy the title of the drink is. My drink was delicious.Inside, theres a few kinds of seating, including high chairs at the bar, window seating, and a lounge area surrounding the fireplace and art wall. Good spot to spend 2 minutes or 2 hours in. The lady who made my drink was super friendly and engaging!I recommend it overall.

I was blessed to be invited by my sister in law and her mother for some coffee to this gem. The atmosphere is hip, calm, and unique, the coffee is incredible, and the staff and owner are polite, informative, and accommodating. I was pleased to find the menu was not only creative but seemed to be very well throught out. I will surely demand they take me back on my future visits to the area!

Review №48

Rather expensive cup ‘tall’, $3.45, vs $2.17 at Starbucks.Loch house blend has good taste, full body and low acidity.Must ask for coffee cream, not available on condiments shelf.Atmosphere resembles a warehouse; Patrons Noise level is a bit high due to reflection off painted concrete block walls (typically 70-75dB).Floors are dull grey with pitted surface, consistent with warehouse decor.Aisle to Restrooms piled with carts, busing trays and misc junk.Workers dress very casual. Knit caps and Hoodies prevail.Music choices are good and acceptable volume; Wifi is good.

Review №49

This place is pretty stellar. Great coffee, good service, pretty good prices. The decor and atmosphere is pretty great. Only two small drawbacks kept this from being a 5 star reviewTheir POS system automatically gives you the option for a tip, starting at 15%. To not tip you have to select a small button underneath the bug ones with percentages. They also have a standard tip jar. Pick one and stick with it.And this may be a personal thing, but I went there and it almost felt like the place catered to regulars, not the common traffic. My service was completely fine, but the service some received after me (who were clearly regulars) was absolutely top notch.All in all, a great place, and would go here again. Dont let my nitpicking get you down.

So delicious! Came in from Detroit and was told I HAD to come here. Not disappointed. I had the Uganda Vanilla late with almond milk, and the Slasher waffle ( they were out of the siracha so we subbed for aïoli) my friend across had a Maple Brown sugar Carmel latte over ice with oat milk and the churro waffle. The owner made our drinks and was so kind. The environment is calming and they even have cute little throws on the chairs if youre chilly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! They even have scrumptious looking pastries i hear are divine!

Good food but not kid friendly. Barristas werent the greatest (didnt seem too friendly). No hight chairs or changing station for kids. Small bathrooms, too small to take kids in with you. It was also uncomfortably warm. Seemed like they didnt want to run AC in their business or even have it.
