"So far my favorite coffee shop in Traverse City! Great service, beautiful building. My Peppermint Latte was fantastic. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area."

"Just popped in for some (freshly) ground and roasted Higher Grounds coffee to take back to Florida. Staff is a friendly as always, and the variety of coffees from around the globe is a amazing as ever. So by the Game Traverse Commons and get and cup to enjoy now, and a bag to enjoy at home!"

"Incredibly well-balanced and smooth and surprisingly affordable for such high quality espresso. Loved the Maple Oat Miel. We went twice during our TC visit."

"Higher grounds coffee is some of the best I have ever tried. The Apex Series is superb. My always choice. The flavor of each of these coffees is full bodied, unique, distinctive to the origin and completely delicious. I appreciate that these are sustainable products, crafted with care and Higher Grounds chooses coffees to support their communities. The Gold series Apex brand are a little more expensive, but worth every penny. Now that we are drinking better coffee, there is no going back. Thanks Higher Grounds."

"Went here a couple times during a trip, it was good not great. I had a cortado on my first visit, the espresso leans a little too dark for my liking and the foam wasn’t perfect. On my second visit I got an iced latte which was much better for my palate, I also got an oatmeal cookie which was very, very good. The atmosphere is pretty rustic, there’s a patio outside and limited seating inside"
