A beautiful store and coffee bar- I could hang out here all day. They know espresso, a rare thing these days. And the clothing and accessories are upscale and not boring- a dream for serious shoppers and browsers alike. I even got my new fave pair of earrings at the coffee counter for $12!And no, they don’t have matcha or oat milk- this is the best of non pretense so dial it back and grab an americano or latte.I am jealous of people who live here because of places like this. Thank you!

Pretty unique place, a coffee shop that doubles as a high end clothing retailer. They provide Kuhl, patagonia, Toad and Co, Aran Wool products, Maui sunglasses. I hope you get the point. The products in their are more expensive than what you will find at Gliks, but its quality over quantity. I have a wool sweater from here, and its of 100% merino wool. So treat yourself, get yourself quality clothing and a quality coffee at the output, whatever you get, you will not be disappointed.

Great coffee at the corner. The rest of the space is attractive men’s and women’s apparel and accessories at resort prices. Very friendly staff. Good cuppa joe.

An adorable coffee stop in a fantastic outdoor shop! The staff was friendly, greeting us when we arrived and patient in discussing the menu. The iced hazelnut latte (decaf) with almond milk was tasty & refreshing.

This store always has an amazing selection of quality clothing and happens to serve not only great fresh coffee but amazing espressos. Friendly staff is a plus. Wife and I moved up here from Chicago and could not be more pleases with the clothing which is always quality at reasonable pricing and just as important the excellent coffee.

Drank coffee there a few times a month and always satisfied with them. Today, I bought the thick fall north face jacket and it kept me warm! Great collection of high quality clothings.

My wife and I wandered in today dripping wet from a downpour while cycling on the Shoreline West ride and the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Plus the cappuccino and mint mocha coffee were both great. Highly recommended.

On my leisurely trip up the coast of Lake Michigan, I stopped in the town of Manistee. After wandering around town I stepped into the Outpost for a caffeinated beverage.The Outpost is a lifestyle clothing store with a full coffee bar as an added feature. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff is friendly and helpful.They have a well-representative selection of locally roasted direct trade coffee and locally grown and blended organic tea. I appreciate the emphasis on local. So many towns deplete themselves by patronizing chains that send profits elsewhere. I'd drink bad local coffee before I'd drink chain coffee.Fortunately, this was not the case at the Outpost. Laina was my barista. She was pleasant, but a little curious when I asked if she could make a good Americano. Even though the drink is simple, many seem to muck it up by over-diluting. I ordered a double Americano - she put two shots of espresso and filled the 12 oz. cup not quite full. She nailed it.I admired the caramel crema that formed on the top - just as it should - and inhaled the rich aroma.Customers were browsing the clothing selection, but I was ready to sit and ponder stuff while I sipped on this exquisite brew. There are several high-top tables in the front of the store, but I opted for the outdoor seating. I like to people watch as I ponder.I always like to admire my coffee before I taste it - let the anticipation build. That first sip was exactly as I hoped it would be.Friends, if you're in Manistee and want a delicious coffee or tea - and support a local business - stop by The Outpost. You won't be disappointed.

First time trying out this spot for coffee and was not disappointed. The mint mocha was a perfect blend and I loved that it wasn't too sugary. The barista was very nice and informative.

Coffee was good, the coffee person messed up the order and also corrected us on how to say "caramel". But otherwise, good place and the only place to get coffee in town. I liked the outdoor seating.
