Java Moose Espresso Cafe

Oh my! Most delicious coffee and breakfast sandwich on the north shore. Staff incredibly friendly and when I asked them for their opinion for coffee choices, they gave it without hesitation. My “salty” was insanely good. My husband had a breakfast sandwich which he raved about. Might have to drive all the way back there tomorrow… it was that good!

Went here twice during my stay, had a great experience both times.
Had the Nordic miel and a raspberry white chocolate scone, and a maple latte the second time. Coffee is very nice.
There are a few places to sit indoors and lots of outdoor seating.
It can be very busy, but they serve you very quickly and efficiently despite the crowd.

The best place in Grand Marais to grab a cup of coffee. -- ** Worth noting, they do not allow dogs indoors. Would hate for someone to wait in line just to turn back after seeing the sign on their door.

I recommend getting there early as the line begins to form through the parking lot by late morning. Don't let it intimidate you, it moves quickly!

The blonde gal at the register was super sweet and was genuinely happy we were in town for a wedding, making it a personable experience. The coffee was excellent and was enjoyed right next to Superior. I recall Java Moose selling their own bags of coffee if you want to bring some home.

I highly recommend stopping in if you have a few extra minutes.

This coffee shop is always a must when we come in to town. It is a very popular destination and attracts a lot of business. The line tends to move quickly. Lots of menu and flavor options, there is something for everyone. There is a lot of public garbage cans in the area and in front of businesses so you don’t have to worry about walking around with a cup all day until you find one.

Instead of Starbucks, I wish I could get my cold brew from Java Moose every morning. But unfortunately, I was only a tourist in the area. The staff are more than friendly. My cold brew was exactly how I like it every morning. We had hot Turkey breakfast sandwiches and loved it. I highly recommend the sandwich. Their chocolate chip cookies were scrumptious 😋. The cozy cottage style decor was cool. I also bought a cup from them since I found it unique.
