Crema's Take
“Cuppa Joe Eastside is a reliable pit stop that locals and travelers alike trust for solid, traditional coffee drinks and friendly service on Traverse City's convenient north corridor. The spot strikes an inviting balance between quick-grab efficiency and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, making it equally suited for a five-minute caffeine run or lingering over a bagel bomb and iced latte on a lazy Sunday morning. Their strength isn't flashy experimentation—it's consistent execution and the kind of casual, family-friendly warmth that keeps people returning trip after trip.”
What to expect

I got an iced vanilla latte with oatmilk and it was amazing!!! The service was great, the coffee was great and the atmosphere was lovely. I didn’t stay but it would have been a cute place to hang out or work. The price was also great!
This location was walking distance from our cabin so my younger cousin and I visited multiple times. I got the cold brew and she got the chai, both were fantastic. We went back multiple times with the repeat order because drinks were so good.
