Espresso Bay
202 E Front St, Traverse City, MI
Crema's Take
“Tucked into downtown Traverse City, this espresso-focused café earns love for its creative signature drinks like cherry blossom lattes and innovative cold foam creations, backed by genuinely friendly baristas who take time to make recommendations. The space itself is a real draw with varied seating from cozy chairs to high stools, strong wifi, and a warm vibe that makes it equally suited for lingering solo or catching up with friends over pastries and light food.”

I ordered a short lavender latte, hot. It was good but the lavender flavor was very subtle. There are lots of seating options - high stools, comfy chairs, etc. Employees were nice, store was clean
Stopped into Espresso Bay while visiting the area and really enjoyed it. Great coffee, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect little stop while exploring downtown. ☕️
The employees were very friendly, the girl who checked us out kindly recommended we try the cherry cold foam. I loved my cherry blossom latte 🍒🌸
Great ambience and a beautiful setup to enjoy delicious coffee. I had their sugar free hazelnut latte and it tasted awesome. The place has a very warm and friendly vibe which I absolutely loved in this cold weather. Plus they offer great merchandise, especially coffee cups and coffee canisters.
It wasn't busy upon arrival so we ordered right away. Staff wasn't overly friendly but they weren't dismissive either. Drinks were ok. Nothing special. I felt like my drink needed a little more sugar and cream, so I just added it at the side table. The inside was decent size with a good amount of seating. It was kinda cozy too. Overall, it was good but not great.
