Cuppa Joe Drive Thru — Restaurant in Traverse City

Thought this cool espresso hut would be like Alaskan ones we miss and would be quick...it took 20 minutes and the coffee was awful!!!!😡 I got a white raspberry mocha asking for skim milk and unkempt looking barista said “but it’s made with chocolate...” ok...and then he said “whip cream?” I said “no thanks” and he said “it comes with it...” so I’m drinking a sickeningly sugary milky raspberry juice with clearly only one small shot of espresso in a 16 oz cup I can barely taste. My bagel was horrible too! How can you mess up a bagel you ask?...It had black grill marks on it like on a real grill.

I’ve always loved going to Cuppa Joe before drill back in 2012-2015. I came to TC for a day trip and was pleasantly surprised to see Cuppa Joe still standing!

She made us exactly what we asked for, even though we didn’t know what we were asking for! So glad to see that they’re still in business and still providing amazing service! Thank...
