Serving great food and coffee just off Lake Michigan’s Shore,
​it’s all about the little moments when life happens and coffee helps.    

Coffee Menu

 Drink coffee, spread love. Every sip of Respite coffee evokes a memory effecting ones well being and happiness. 

​For our beans, we collaborate with Ferris Coffee's certified Q-grader trained to pinpoint desirable characteristics when sourcing from farmers all over the world and roasting locally. Our Barista's are educated and have a love for people.

Come enjoy our fresh baked pastries, (we won 2 of the 4 Blue Ribbon's from Savor the Coast in 2015!)  organic teas, and relaxing vibes—and remember to take a bag of Respite beans home with you!
