Dancing Crane Coffee House - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best coffee ever 😁☕ frappe's are my best friend

This Native American owned coffee house has some of the tastiest beverages you'll find in 100 miles. The Chai tea was good as a hot drink as well as blended so I can assume the same for iced. The Dark African roast was also delightful. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you find yourself passing through the Baymills area.

We came here from down state a few hours...and this place rocks! We loved coming here...and the magnetic bracelets are on point...❤️ Thank you for being awesome!!

Great little coffee shop literally in the middle of nowhere. The two young girls seemed very knowledgeable about coffee and passionate about their job. Coffee was great.

Great little coffee shop! Get the blended chai.

The people who work here are wonderful, and make sure you are happy with your order. If not they will fix or make it over until you're satisfied. Everything tastes great!

Last year we really loved the coffee and muffins. This year, sadly the coffee was probably the worst coffee we have ever had. No pastries available. My husband and I were so disappointed. Not sure what has happened but hopefully it was just a bad day.

Always make a point to stop here. Coffee and ice cream are fantastic, store has beautiful items for sale, atmosphere is 10/10. Definitely worth the short drive from the Soo!

I went with my family and it was very nice, I love the atmosphere and the service was great everyone working there was very kind, there is also a cool section to buy little some novelties, the smoothies we got were good too and my parents like the coffee, the only downside is that it is a little on the pricier side

had a coffee ☕️ at the dancing crane about 6 years ago. I didn't know what to get. Told the lady working I wanted to try something different. It was my first chocolate mint coffee, and I still remember it. Going back this July and this is a must stop. For sure, better than Starbuck

Great place for a drink and a snack while biking thru town I even bought some trinkets

Definitely a good place to stop for a coffee. The owner was very nice and took a few photos for us. Most of the items for sale are hand made by locals.

Great coffee and native gift selections. They do not serve food but coffee is amazing

I was passing through the UP and made a stop here in March. Only the drive thru was open, but I didn’t feel rushed and was given recommendations. Highly recommend a visit.

Very friendly staff. Wonderful place to stop and get fantastic coffee.

The atmosphere was very pleasant with a wonderful lightly aromatic smell of sweet grass. Beautiful handcrafted soaps and jewelry. Good snacks. All taken in and enjoyed over a delicious cup of coffee. Definitely will and have returned over and over again...

A public restroom, when serving drinks would be nice. 🤷🏼

Go every time we are in town. A must stop

Great small town store with big personality.

Stopped in Saturday afternoon for a late coffee. There was a lady in front of us that ordered 6 drinks. Wasn't super happy about having to wait that long in line but the wait was worth it. The barista apologized for the wait and whipped up two coffees for us quickly. Atmosphere was very nice and they had many handmade items for sale in the shop as well.

I love coming here, the dairy free syrups are yummy and the pastries are well made. the pumpkin chai is a fave for me and i always get it with one shot and coconut milk. everyone is super nice when i come in and there's a checkin booklet for you to sign when you visit.

Cute little coffee house near brimley State Park. Good coffee, espresso maker, and very nice atmosphere. Pleasant place to hang out. A little light on baked goods, and they would do well to have fresh baked instead of packaged bars and things.

The great reviews were accurate. Outside might not be as fancy as we all need. Inside was clean and very, very interesting. Beautiful hand made and other items you can view. Our server met us at the door and gave us all the information we needed. I’m sure it was one of the owners and you could tell they loved providing a great experience. My advice, go to this place for an order and a view of a business.

Must stop!! Amazing coffee and spiced cider! Beautiful jewelry and soaps, and the nicest owner.

This place is really great. The service is awesome and the employees are very friendly. I'm from the Burton area (near Flint). We go there every time we go to Sault Ste. Marie and make the 30 minute drive because we like it so much. We first started going there shortly after they opened, like 15 years ago and will continue. Thank you Dancing Crane Coffee House.

Wonderful, friendly staff Excellent baked goods Good ice cream

Great drinks, service, staff and atmosphere

Nice little place. Very friendly. More than just a coffee shop. Good coffee

Coffee and smoothie s are great

Great coffee and Ice cream. Wonderful staff.

Homespun trinkets and interesting books and great coffee!

Loved reading here, everyone was so kind!

I sincerely wish I could rate higher than 5 stars. We rolled up to this funny little joint not knowing what to expect... we were greeted at the door by this lovely bright spirit who made us feel immediately at home(I did not get her name) inside was full of handmade goods, the smell of delicious coffee and warmth. The hot and cold lattes were amazing... the blueberry muffin close to the best I have had! If you are within 100 miles... stop here!! It's worth the trip!

We stopped for coffee. This place had the best chia chocolate blended coffee I have ever had. Next time I am in the area, I will be stopping. Great job, Dancing Crane Coffee House!

Excellent coffee selection. Plus the souvenir selection was unique. Great location, love this place.

Dancing Crane Coffee House in Brimley MI is a true gem. The Crane serves many varieties of coffee, bagels, muffins, other assorted pastries and scrumptious ice cream. The owner and staff are warm and welcoming. The Crane is a “must stop” destination for us whilst in the UP.

Very interesting place. Coffee is good, rich.

Curious little coffee spot just north of Brimley. Limited food and room but great drinks. Not many espresso machines in this part of the world!

Great coffee drinks and friendly staff. We went back every morning when we were in Brimley.

So cute and full of history. Absolutely recommend the staff were so nice

Adorable place with super friendly staff, yummy coffee and iced chia tea with almond milk! We bought a mug and a bball cap so we will remember to go there again 🙂

This is a cool place. The service was excellent and the drinks were delicious.

Restocked on our sage and sage soap!! Plus the coffee was great!!!

Stop in for an ice cream, was give the most pathetic size ice cream cone it was not even a baby size cone made a comment about it being extremely small but no reaction from staff, have been going there for last few years this will be the last, go to superior subs and pizza instead

Best coffee and the service is above and beyond!!! Be sure to stop in for some enjoyment and history. I'm hooked!

Amazing drinks, service, and ambience! Can’t wait to visit again!

We go out of our way to visit when we can. One of our favorite places

Got some DELICIOUS coffee and sweet grass oil -😍🤌🏼 when I walked in, I immediately felt at home, and nostalgic and comfortable.. talked to a gentleman, a medicine man, and he was very kind and I loved the energy all around. I haven't been for a few years because I live >6 hrs away, but it is still burned into my memory.. I love this place, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE 🖖🏼❤️🙏🏽

Drive thru friendly service. They also sell the best black cherry ice cream on the planet.

Relaxing, chill, local & Native!🥰

Awesome little coffee shop. Neat atmosphere, delicious coffee.

It is a good summer place to get drinks.

Great place to get coffee, snacks, and some gifts.

So delicious we took a bag home. Roasted locally, served with a smile.

Super nice ladies serving coffee and conversation. Very friendly and comfortable place to sit with coffee and excellent baked goods.

What a wonderful little place for coffee, beautiful inside lots of stuff to look at, the cappuccino was wonderful.

Great place to find solace from the crazy world. Coffee, tea, & people are all a comfort! The earth needs more places like this.

Awesome local coffee shop one of the highlights of my week in the UP

Very nice little privately owned coffee shop. Locally owned. Carries variety of juices, coffees, and even ice cream!

Nice little coffee shop on the Bay Hills Reservation. The coffee is on the pricey side and a bit unexpected, but flavor of coffee and smoothies were good!

People are amazing food and drinks A+. A must stop when we go North.

Great staff. Tasty drinks - they made my oat milk latte perfectly. And I was suprised to find they had a gluten free vegan snack option. And a great tea variety

Traditional stop every year for coffee and ice cream. Beautiful local arts and crafts. Wonderful owners.

Very nice!! Helped my husband make sure I got a coffee that I love!

Love the energy of this place and oh yeah, the coffee is great, too.

Excellent coffee and a fun, unique shop.

A lovely place to stop for coffee, gifts, and more.

Unique coffee shop with quality coffee you would expect from a big city in a small town. Baked treats are great. The staff was very friendly. Highly recommended

Great house roasted coffee, really helpful and upbeat staff. Happy I was able to buy both chaga and wild rice!

Always good, friendly staff... five stars every time

Really needed this coffee stop after a few days camping. Latté was smooth and perfect. Also picked up some baked goods and a cute bracelet and a box of Ojibwa tea which I love! Be aware they do NOT have a bathroom… plan accordingly ;)

Favorite stop in Brimley Michigan! Great coffee and other goodies. Charming and friendly atmosphere. The rustic interior only adds to its unique vibe.

Great coffee, tea, lattes, cappuccinos etc.

This is a must stop when in the area. Amazing staff and locally made items.

FOOD & SERVICE ARE All ways GOOD I STOP BY AND ORDER , WHEN I GO THRU THE AREA.

Must go! The iced Chai is delicious! Especially when they make it a little strong

Amazing! Coffee is delicious. I highly recommend the cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins.

Quant and quality lattes! Not many options in the area September of 2021, but I would go out of the way to have a drink from this coffee shop again.

The gift shop is just reopening. Nice variety of local items and teas. Very friendly staff. Coffee is wonderful!

A very quant stop on the way to white fish bay..a small but very nice selection of first nations items.. I recommend a stop... amount other items offered..

Best coffee and drinks good people good vibes

Cute little shop on the edge of the bay. Good size selection. Drive thru in front of the building is easy, and they have a walk up window with a couple of tables. Simple pastries and bagels available.

Great food and drinks plus it has great service

A must on my way through the Bay Mills community. Excellent coffee!

Absolutely amazing coffee shop. We stopped here each morning on our trip. We will definitely return from now on whenever we are in the area.

The best coffee in the entire eastern UP I'm sure. Went out of my way going downstate from whitefish point and I was not disappointed.

Gave us a large instead of a medium

Great little shop with gifts. They will take your temperature and insist on masks if you want to go inside to shop. We always comply. No reason to argue. I bought Ojibwa tea, which was a bit overpriced, my fault for not looking at price tags, a hat, a hoodie, a bracelet, and two coffees for about $85. I'd recommend.

Went to the beach and park that's located just on the west side of the Dancing Crane Coffee Shop. Love this beach! Not crowded and always nice and clean! Love to watch the barges and fishing boats going by.

Awesome folks here. So convenient to have a LOCAL drive thru coffee shop that is all about the quality, service, and in the UP of the mitten! An absolute gem! I will go back for next year's trip!

Best place for coffee,Great owners

I love a family owned business, by and large this is a cute place with a few kinks. I have an allergy and they were reluctant to check products for me while being kind of pushy about other products. Maybe because I'm not a small town person but it was off putting that she patted me out of the blue. We were also told "no public washroom" even though we bought things.

Friendly staff amazing coffee and hot chocolate. Make the time to stop.

Love dancing crane, you can't go wrong here!

The best dirty chai I have EVER had! What a surprise for a small town. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Don't miss out if you're passing through!

Great café with excellent coffee. Cappuccino may be the best I've had in the Yoop. Planning to come back when the live music picks up again.

Aside from great coffee there are some exceptionally polite and friendly staff staff here. I visit Michigan once a year and always make a point of stopping by. They now have several flavors of Ice Cream and serve bagels, burgers and bratwurst as well.

I'll return for the vibe for eternity.

Was camping in the area and decided to try it. The mocha, cappuccino, and hot chocolate we got were so good we stopped by 2 more times. Everything was always delicious, and the service was polite and friendly. Even when we were indecisive.

We had a Cafe Mocha, and chocolate waffle cone. Both were wonderful. The owner was very friendly, and even helped with a mosquito bite remedy for our daughter.
