What customers say

Our first visit! Joined my mom and sister for coffee flights. We enjoyed the ambiance and kind staff so much. The owner kindly took a picture of our table. We loved the delicious coffee and each had our favorites. Another visit will be necessary in the near future.

Our almost daily motorcycle ride took us to Courageous Coffee in Portland, MI today. It's definitely worth taking a drive (or ride!): Warm and friendly staff, absolutely delicious blueberry muffin, tea and coffee. The decor is bright and fun with lots of coffee related signs and hangings.

My kids and I like coming here. Always friendly staff, a surprise variety of baked goods for the day and seasonal varieties to add to drinks also. Nice place to do some work or meet up with someone. You'll often find other customers doing one or the other. Just a welcoming place!

We won't even touch on the bake goods. The added weight I am putting on is enough of a review. This review is about the coffee. I have had several varieties but the Buffalo Plaid Dark in my Aeropress is divine. It being in memory of their grandfathers makes it even better. ❤️
