The Outpost of Manistee

Absolutely The BEST coffee(s) in town, bar none. No wait, professional service. Perfect grind, filtered water, right temperatures, certified baristas. I like the cold brews.

A beautiful store and coffee bar- I could hang out here all day. They know espresso, a rare thing these days. And the clothing and accessories are upscale and not boring- a dream for serious shoppers and browsers alike. I even got my new fave pair of earrings at the coffee counter for $12!
And no, they don’t have matcha or oat milk- this is the best of non pretense so dial it back and grab an americano or latte.
I am jealous of people who live here because of places like this. Thank you!

Pretty unique place, a coffee shop that doubles as a high end clothing retailer. They provide Kuhl, patagonia, Toad and Co, Aran Wool products, Maui sunglasses. I hope you get the point. The products in their are more expensive than what you will find at Gliks, but its quality over quantity. I have a wool sweater from here, and its of 100% merino wool. So treat yourself, get yourself quality clothing and a quality coffee at the output, whatever you get, you will not be disappointed.

Great coffee at the corner. The rest of the space is attractive men’s and women’s apparel and accessories at resort prices. Very friendly staff. Good cuppa joe.

This store always has an amazing selection of quality clothing and happens to serve not only great fresh coffee but amazing espressos. Friendly staff is a plus. Wife and I moved up here from Chicago and could not be more pleases with the clothing which is always quality at reasonable pricing and just as important the excellent coffee.

Drank coffee there a few times a month and always satisfied with them. Today, I bought the thick fall north face jacket and it kept me warm! Great collection of high quality clothings.

Nice selection in the clothing store. They had some sales going on when we went. The coffee there is good. We got an iced mocha and hot vanilla latte. I recommend trying their iced mocha! If you get their vanilla latte, consider asking for less pumps then what they put in. Two or three pumps is plenty. Also, the workers are super friendly and a joy to talk to!

We love stopping in The Outpost for the local smiles and delicious coffee. I personally love the iced latte made with cold brew! They also have a ton of high end outdoor gear for sale your next adventure!

First time trying out this spot for coffee and was not disappointed. The mint mocha was a perfect blend and I loved that it wasn't too sugary. The barista was very nice and informative.

Great spot to grab some coffee and get some work done. Friendly staff and a wide selection of drinks. I worked from here all day and the wifi worked great! It was a bit noisy in the morning but calmed down later in the day.

You can get more than just clothes here. Check it out.

Good Coffee! Great deal on a Kuhl jacket! Nice selection of clothes for the upscale outdoorsman. Also, simply the most beautiful barista north of Lansing... 😏

The Outpost of Manistee is an Oasis of great coffee in a desert of options. There are few places in major metropolitan areas that have beans that are less than a week old, much less small towns like Manistee. That is just the start of the quality control they exercise at The Outpost.

To the best of my knowledge all of their beans are fair trade and roasted in Traverse City. In the summer months they offer terrific cold brew options. Of course a great coffee drink is only as good as the dairy product used, which in this case is Cream Cup Dairy products. Non-homogenized milk, half and half, and cream, all from a dairy less than 50 miles away. Talk about local sourcing!

The staff is always friendly and courteous and they know their drinks. Don't be fooled by the location within a top notch clothing store, this coffee shop has everything a real coffee lover desires!

Outpost has the best coffee in town! But also the selection of outerwear for men is superior to anywhere else in town. Staff is great and always friendly.

Awesome coffee and lattes! Good selection of mid to high end clothing. A must if you are looking for higher quality goods in this area.

Delicious chai latte, excellent service! I really appreciate the Christ-like way they welcome and chat with the locals who stop in!
