Welcome to Cuppa Joe Westside

“ Cuppa joe serves excellent coffee. Their breakfast burritos will fill you up, and scones and smoothies are A+. Service is usually great, be patient. Atmosphere - can be buzzy loud, but I think it's the high ceilings but, idk. ”

“ We were visiting Traverse and originally planned to try one of the brunch spots at The Village, but most were fully booked. We thought Cuppa Joe was just a coffee shop — and we’re so glad we went inside and checked out the menu! Everything we tried was delicious. The pesto sandwich was amazing, the BLT instantly became my favorite (and the reason we’ll definitely come back!), and my son loved the open egg salad sandwich. The egg sausage sandwich was another hit — so good! On top of that, the drinks were exceptional. Highly recommend the Diablo (a coffee with a little heat — so unique!) and the chai latte, which my daughter and I loved. For smoothies, try the Calypso (yum!) and the green smoothie — both were refreshing and flavorful. Hands down, the best breakfast ever. Hidden gem in Traverse! A hole in the wall!! Noel and Krissy ”

“ I got the chicken pesto sandwich and a chai tea latte. The chicken pesto had a phenomenal sourdough and the sauce was very creamy. A really thoughtfully crafted sandwich. And the chai was the perfect blend of sweet and spiced. Could not recommend more. ”

“ Probably one of the best iced mochas around! The chicken pesto sandwich was great and the breakfast burrito was yummy. Only issue is that one of the staff members was not as good as the other staff at the time. The staff member who took our order didn’t get it put in correctly, which we shrugged off initially. Later, we asked for a refill of water and the same staff member said that they “could” give us a refill, but that there is a water fountain in the hallway… weird experience with that employee. Oh well, the rest of the experience was decent. ”

“ AMAZING!! Homemade bread and fresh wondefdul veggies on our BLTs, smoothies wete made with fresh berries. Seriously can not say enough positive about our meal here. Teens were very happy, iced coffee for 1 and a smoothie for the other, we all got BLtS. The employees were so sweet and friendly. We sat on the patio, westher was gorgeous and the scenery lovely ”

“ They have the best biscuits & gravy in town!! Awesome spices, flavor and the staff is always friendly. ”

“ Ok, I already raves to the staff directly but they need a standing ovation here!!! I have stopped before and already enjoyed their great coffee. This week I stopped in hoping to also grab some brunch with a friend. We had tried several places recommended to us who were all booked up due to need for a "Covid reservation". When we got to Cuppa Joe, the employees were kind, happy to see us and more than happy to help however they could. Their entire demeanor made our day as many of our Traverse City stops were less than enthusiastic for opening "tourist" season, but Cuppa Joe was the complete opposite. Our food was AMAZING. Do not underestimate what they have to offer because they are a "small business". My friend got their BLT, I got the open faced Egg Salad Sandwich. We went half on each to give them both a try. The BLT was made with Sun dried tomatoes and I can't believe I have never done this myself! So so so good. The egg salad not only floored us on flavor but we could not believe how such a basic sandwich had been SO elevated in flavor! We agreed it was our favorite! Thank you so much to the Staff who worked there on 5/2/21! Food was perfect, you were all so pleasant, and we are thankful you even carried food out to our table! If you all just keep being wonderful this business is going to Flourish SO fast! ”

“ Our daughter lives in Traverse City, and we end every trip to this city with breakfast and coffee at Cuppa, followed by shopping through the wondrous assortment of shops that serve as their neighbors in The Commons. ”
