Love this cute little, friendly coffee shop. The windows are always dressed beautifully for the season.

Respite has GREAT coffee and food! I've been going here for years and I've never been disappointed. It's definitely worth a stop in! It's not very large inside, but it's cozy and welcoming.

A wonderful cafe run by some really nice people. I had a great time enjoying my coffee in their outdoor spot. I would definitely recommend others to try them out. Some really good selection of coffee and breakfast.
From just a narrow storefront, in Douglas’s historic Downtown, with an emphasis on inspiring and caring for the local community, Respite offers a full craft coffee and drink menu, seasonal food menu, and is meant to evoke a feeling of rest and relief - a place to recharge in Solitude, to fulfill a Communal niche, or sustain the transient Road Trippin' boater and second home owner.
Respite proudly serves Madcap Coffee, an independent coffee company based in Grand Rapids, and Michigan's number one roaster! Madcap uses small production methods and direct trade practices to attain a perfect roast.
