Maple City Roasters

Great variety of unadulterated as well as flavored coffees, roasted on site, with roast dates marked on bottoms of bags.
The Karwick Road storefront is smallish, but adequate for the area, housing a small section of bar seating and several tables. Décor is contemporary/​casual, no hipster furniture or art on the wall. I know there is another site out near the Garwood Apple orchard but have not visited that one as of this writing.
The owner usually has three of his blends brewed and available for purchase at $ 2/​cup, which is a bottomless cup (free refills), meaning you should fill up before you leave! He also has various Russia teas and a limited assortment of fresh baked goods (rolls) from a local baker.
No lattes or fancy coffee drinks at this time, but I have heard he may be doing this soon.
The owner is very personable to talk to and generally open to requests for doing custom roasts and blends, depending on costs involved and his work load. His prices are on point for the types and sizes he sells, most also available through the local ALS grocery stores and also via local fundraisers.
If you’re into good coffee you need to give Maple City a try!

Great coffee, great customer service! You can order their coffee online, try the Jazzy Java!!!

5 stars because they don’t allow me to give them 10. I love this place. It is a hidden gem in michigan city. They roast small batch coffee rigth in the shop. The prices are great for what they are doing. Getting the best beans they can find all over the world (costa rico, brazil, colombia, etc) and roasting them in house. The place smells great when you walk in. The owner was very knowledgable and enjoyed talking about his craft. My wife and I had a hour conversation with him about all this stuff.
The assortment of coffee that he sells in the shop is wide but not overwhelming. Try the bonzo blend or jazzy blend (if your into flavored coffee). I am typically not a fan of flavored coffee becuase it is made with lesser quality beans and if you love your coffee, you know what I am talking about. Not this place they use the same quality beans in all their coffee. This place an 1 ½ from my house and we pass it when we go to our families cotttage but you can order their coffee’ through the web but it is worth the drive if you have the time.

Owner is very friendly. He goes to Costa Rica to get the beans and roasts them on site. Clean bathrooms. Good pour over coffee. Russian tea is available.

Wonderful coffee. Beans are roasted on site — not just ground fresh, ROASTED! You just can’t beat that kind of freshness. While you can’t get all the fancy coffee drinks you might find elsewhere, this is hands down the best place to buy quality beans and get a good, fresh cup of coffee for $ 2.

Great coffee café and roaster. Just off route 12 at Karwick/​Als Grocery and next to Scartozzis. They roast in small batches so beans are very fresh. Grab a cup or a bag of beans on your way in/​out of Harbor Country, thats what we do.
