Keep on Grinding Coffee House
1024 Michigan Ave, Traverse City, MI
Crema's Take
“Keep on Grinding Coffee House is a genuinely special gathering spot where owner Ed's passion shines through in every handcrafted detail, from the rustic wood finishes to the thoughtfully curated open mic nights and board games that draw regulars across all ages. The spacious, eclectic interior feels like stepping into someone's carefully loved home rather than a chain café, complete with a mini library and abundant seating (both indoor and seasonal outdoor) that makes it equally perfect for laptop work, lingering conversations, or just soaking in the warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

I watched the construction of a new coffee shop in BENZONIA two years ago. I finally was in town when it was opened and stopped by to check it out (and also stop in to The Cherry Hut for pie). Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious pastries. This is my place for early morning coffee when I am in town.
Very quaint (if not eclectic), spacious coffee house complete with open mic, board games, mini library, indoor and outdoor (seasonal) seating. Clientele spans generations.
Keep on Grinding Coffee House is a fun local spot with unique, rustic décor that makes you want to linger. From the moment you walk in, the wood finishes, quirky details, and warm atmosphere set the tone for a cozy coffee break. I visited on a very busy late Saturday morning and ordered the quiche along with a vanilla latte. Despite the rush, the staff was pleasant, and my food and drink were both tasty and satisfying. Disclaimer: For me, a five-star review means an experience that is exceptional and truly above and beyond. So, if I rate less than five stars, it’s not a reflection of poor quality, this place is definitely worth a visit.
The Finest of coffee houses I have quite literally ever stepped foot in. Ed, the owner and builder of the shop shared his life story with us and I was mesmerized to say the least. The passion and quality here is genuinely unmatched! I will recommend this place to everyone I know, and will stop here any time I’m within 2 hours of it. The fact that he built all of this by hand and did it all himself is so crazy.
Such a beautiful warming place, has a great vibe full of rustic woods and unique seating. Atmosphere is amazing it really makes you feel at home. Lots of power sources to do work in the morning and amazing wifi (115 mbps download and 30 upload). Coffee tastes great with lots of different options. Antique decorations all around the store that are also for sale. It truly is such a great little place to spend your morning.
