Best time of my undergrad and time in East Lansing. A coffee shop like not other. Their coffee drinks are well-made. Always tasty. Their indoor vibes go along with work environment and social events. Perfect for any occasion.Staff are very friendly and welcoming!
Had a tough time ordering because I have a weak voice due to having COVID in 2020. The person who took my order told the other worker that he couldnt hear anything that I was saying after he finally got my order right, about only 1 foot away from me. Very rude. Kinda regret giving a $1 tip.
The chai latte was delicious and the service was fast and attentive. Also, the open mic that is running on Thursdays was spectacular. So much talent in that coffee shop tonight. Full of support and transparency. I will most certainly be back for more.
Had a great iced americano with cream and bourbon honey! The staff were very pleasant. I wish it were there when I was a Spartan many years ago😊
The vibe is good. So relaxing and many ppl study here.They are very good at customizing. But their regular drinks are good as well!
Second location for Blue Owl, just as beautiful as the first! Coffee is perfection. I really enjoy the vibe at these locations. The snacks are always good and are a perfect match for all the delicious brewed coffees and teas. The nitro coffees are really good. The flavorings in the lattes are delicious! Pure essence. I really enjoyed the peanut butter blossom. Love their commitment to artists and the art world. if youre looking for a great late night coffee shop, look no further. Youre here!
Very creative and perfectly-executed specialty drinks. Great interior design and vibe. Customer service was also nice.
Good coffee but busy and they ran out of baked goods.
Unfriendly and coffee tasted burnt. Go to the Old Town location, theyre awesome!
Love the Iced Mocha with oatmilk and Lavender! This is a great environment to meet up with friends or have a coffee date! I remember when Open Mic was held here, as the number 1 best beatboxer in Michigan its hard to find platforms to perform in person for.
Really great place great service food and coffee ☕ highly recommended
My favorite coffee place in the area. Now that I have moved out of the Lansing area, I think about going back, just for their coffee creations. I definitely recommend stopping in.
Great coffee! Everytime I am in the Lansing area, I make a stop. Staff is nice. Brown sugar mocha is my favorite.
Amazingly flavors, friendly service. Wish you were closer!
Coffee was delicious atmosphere relaxed and welcoming
I love their selection of non-coffee drinks! The seasonal specials are delicious and push me outside my comfort zone. My coffee- and espresso-drinking friends also love Blue Owl. Great atmosphere, location, and service!
Such good coffee and perfect blue mug.
Very clean coffee with with good atmosphere. I get simple black coffee but the taste is flavorful.Staff was very friendly, there is another space they have across from side entrance.It would be a good little place to go for meet ups but not a place to go for peace and quiet.
Prices where about what you would expect for a coffee shop. The presentation on the latte I ordered was great staff where good as well. There was a DJ that had some pretty good beats as well. Unfortunately I didnt much care for the quality or taste of my drink. The lobby was also quite chilly which made us not want to stick around long.
This place is really cute and their new location in East Lansing is awesome. The coffee here is not my favorite. I havent had a cup here and thought that it was one of the best that Ive had. Its okay coffee with a nice staff and nice people watching location.
Dangerous place to get a cup of coffee. While there are signs on the door indicating that masks are required, inside, people are sitting there (without food or drink!) just chatting away, sans masks. This is the most irresponsible place in downtown East Lansing to get coffee. They clearly have no regard for public safety---if they enforce the mask policy, customers go away; if they dont enforce, lives go away. I guess Blue Owl has made their choice!
I absolutely love the staff and the environment. One of my favorite local coffee shops when I feel like working outside of my office.
Extremely knowledgeable about their coffee, but without the snobbery Ive experienced at other high quality coffee shops! They were happy to give a brief description of the options about my order and even more happy to go into further detail when asked. They never talked down to me and helped me learn something new about coffee! Would highly recommend this place to someone for a small meeting or just catching up with a friend; great atmosphere.
I love coffee mocktails, especially the Moscow Mule. I love the eclectic decorating style inside and that they feature artists work. Reminds me of the locally owned coffee shops downtown Savannah, GA, but uniquely Michigan.
Blue Owl is great. Their team genuinely loves what they do and desires to get to know their customers (even though they always have a ton of people coming through). Great coffee. Great environment. Great location (especially once the Center City District finishes up construction in a couple months).
I like the vibe of this place. Im gonna come back 😊 seems like a good place to study, beautiful chill laid back atmosphere. Exposed brick. Hot chocolate was delicious
I like this cafe so much. It is ALWAYS busy. Every time I go there, day or night, weekday or weekend, every single table is taken and the place is just absolutely packed. I have had to turn back several times already simply because there is nowhere to sit. It’s a shame because I like the coffee and bagels and cookies at this place so much. Good for them for doing good business. I get frustrated when I walk all the way over there to find no seats anywhere.
Love the setting, best look for a local coffee house. Contemporary and fun. Unusual coffee drink options with good coffee. Very friendly baristas, who take accurate orders and make good hot coffee. I cant believe that is a thing I have to say, but I have been places where thats not the case. I would give 5 stars if it werent so crowded at high times.
This new location has great seating and nice staff! The coffee is delicious, but I wish there were some vegan food options, even it was just some kind of granola/energy bar. However, I think this will be a good place to study/hang out even if its a bit farther from campus!
I go to Blue Owl about two or three times a week. My friends and I use the space for creativity and writing, and Blue Owl serves as a high quality space for this exact kind of work.I don’t frequent many coffee shops, so I didn’t know what to get the first time I came in. When Terrence (my fave Blue Owl employee) heard me saying I had no idea what I wanted, he offered to surprise me. After asking what flavors I liked, he made me a brown sugar latte, and I’ve ordered it every time since!We’ve spent upwards of 6 hours there every time we go, as there doesn’t often seem to be a viable reason to leave! The back private room is often available to us, and the environment is relaxing and inspiring to us, with all of its plants and natural lighting.We love every minute we spend here.
Love how helpful the staff is here! The coffee, staff and environment are perfect!
Tasty drinks and pretty logo
Well done coffee. The space to sit is a bit....spartan.
Hip atmosphere at a great location. Open mic nights on Wednesdays are an extra treat. Good prices on the beverages.
Very unique place with good coffee and interesting drinks. Very cool atmosphere, staff very friendly. I recommend 👍🏽
It was great, nice price point, inviting atmosphere, cordial and knowledgeable staff.
Ive been going here for a long time that It feels like going back home. Coffee is really good and consistent. Not to mention the Blue Howler is the best nitro youll ever have! If you need good stuff ask Tyler to surprise you. You wont be disappointed!
Great stuff. High quality coffee drinks, good location, nice space. Id rate higher, but theyve got some growing pains to get through. Baristas are consulting recipe cards for standard menu drinks.
One of the classiest, tastiest coffee shops.in the area..very good quality, nice peaceful ambience..good envy...very authentic decorations..liked every single one of their hot & cold brews still date!!!
Good place. The dude at the counter was super nice and the person who served me was great as well. I got a tea latte and it was also super good.
I liked their seasonal menu. The hot chocolate was really good. Ive also had a tea latte and one of the cookies. Both of which were good.
My first time at Blue Owl. It was a suggestion of a friend for a nice place to have coffee/tea and converse. It was perfect for that situation
Your coffee cocktails are amazing! I recommend the Mackinac to anyone who hasnt tried it. Thanks for a great time!
Great vibe here! Coffee was delicious, employees friendly and knowledgeable. Open mic on Wednesday night: great talent!
The coffee here can be very inventive, which is fun, and the atmosphere is breezy. My friends and I lost our favorite coffee place, so well be going here from now on.
Excellent espresso and cool mugs to sit inhouse and sip to your hearts delight. Cool venue with industrial design garage door opeing a wall to the downtown atmosphere. Plenty of space and tables. Relaxing yet right in the heart of the city.
Hands down, best coffe place in town! Ive been to them all several times. Not sure if it is because of the baristas, or just quality of ingredients, but they are far better than the rest. Little more expensive, but worth it!
Lots of space. Great energy. Great place to work. amazing coffee. And friendly staff.
I went to blue owl and my coffee experience was below average . I was disappointed with the latte art, there wasn’t any for my drink or other customers since I was sitting at the bar. The baristas had no clue what they were doing. They were spilling coffee everywhere. All of the coffees were overflowing. When you go to a coffee shop you expect the workers to have finesse and I feel like that was lacking. I never had a problem at the other locations.
Good coffee - tried a latte and a shakerado. Good location and lots of space inside. Many outlets available for plugging in a laptop.
Had the French press pot. Well two of them between the 3 of us. Great coffee shop! Go get some!
The vanilla almond milk steamer is SO good! They make it with honey & almond extract. Delish!
It was a great place. Enjoyed a fantastic jazz performace there.
The new East Lansing location is cute and spacious. I love how open it felt and there was plenty of seating.
Awesome space. Great coffee. Good times.
Super cute vibe with great coffee! Just be prepared to be surrounded by college students because its a college town.
There coffee is great!Happy to have them around MSUIt would be great if they provide croissant
Nice alternative to Starbucks, right between Hopcats and El Azteco. Across from Pinball Petes. Place has a garage door they can open in the summer. Only thing missing is a couple comfortable leather couches.
Nice environment and good coffeeOpen mic on WednesdayHell lots of fun
The latte we had tasted great and they staff was friendly. The shop looks cool too.
Its really expensive for a college town but the non alcoholic Moscow mule is my favorite!
Very fast service and the guys were helpful with the questions about my drink
Much more room than the REO town location and with basically the same drink choices. The only trick is dealing with finding a place to park.
Good music, great service. Parking is meh.
The coffee is really great, the atmosphere is very chill, the staff is really nice, had a wonderful conversation with a Tarence, really nice guy. Looking forward to treating myself to Blue Owl Coffee every Friday.
Best coffee and ambiance close to campus.
Stopped in for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. They have a rotating selection of beans from different roasters. There were a few options for brewed coffee and several more for pour overs. I got a pour over made with Mad Cap coffee. The beans were weighed and ground fresh before me. They have a machine that does the pour over. I was a bit skeptical as there is something in the art of a barista pouring the water, but honestly it is the best pour over I have had. I asked about their nitro coffees and the the barista offered a taste of what was on tap. The wake the dead was excellent as was the neopolitan flavor. I will definitely be back to this coffee shop.
Revised review: its gotten a lot better since opening, im happy with it
Everything is soooooo goooooood, but I believe you can improve the foam in the latte more.
Incredibly friendly staff and a great cup of coffee!
The best high end coffee shop in town.
Good place to visit and good coffee👍
Great new shop. Great atmosphere and drinks!
Great service and finally another coffee shop in downtown East Lansing!
Neat little café. Little pricey, but worth it for the environment.
Lively venue with good coffee right by MSU campus .
Best coffee shop in East Lansing, hands down.
Good coffee and friendly staff. A bit over priced but average for a coffee boutique.
Wi-Fi did not work for me
A wonderful place to sit and relax.

Smoothest lattes in town!
