What a great place! In town from GR and stopped in for breakfast... ended up staying for hours on their cute patio, nursing a delicious iced latte. Staff all super friendly and helpful!

Service was amazing, good atmosphere felt like a hometown coffee shop

Tara Walters

I was in town briefly today and had been outside taking pictures in the 17 degree weather, so I found this awesome little coffee shop where I was warmly welcomed! I grabbed a coffee and sandwich to go ; they were AWESOME! The panini sandwich came with apple slices - BONUS. They even offered me a small cup of coffee while I waited. I can't wait to come back! Thank you for your hospitality!

Steve Swaney

Their roasted coffee is fantastic. The hand pour over coffee is a must for coffee lovers.

Loved the visit. Seriously great coffee, service, and everything else.

Montana Svoboda

If you're going to get coffee and a sammich, or start the morning off with a waffle and espresso ANYWHERE in Michigan, this is the place yer gunna wanna go. From the atmosphere to the coffee to the sammiches named after characters from "The Office", everything is top-notch.

Brandon Ball

Highly recommend! Espressos on point.

Ontell Babbitt

Very cute atmosphere, intimate, very downtown city feel

Absolutely incredible coffee. You can't get better quality anywhere else in town. House roasted and smooth. No frills. Just go here. The lavender vanilla latte is sublime when they are offering it.

Upscale coffee and wraps in a laid back environment. Very unique menu options. Worth a try if you love coffee and healthier meal options. Baked goods also available.

David Craig

I haven't tried the beans yet but the wait staff was very nice. They were a little pricey !

Joe Herman

Delicious coffee and food! Had the ham & cheese frittata and shared an apple & cinnamon waffle with a friend. From the ambience to the tastes to the fun, inviting staff; Ponder was a wonderful one-stop-shop. A must try, locally-owned, homegrown establishment!

Norman Thomas

Great coffee and waffles that hit the spot on a chilly winter afternoon. Warm atmosphere.

Megan Barber

I've never had a drink I didn't like here! They know my order when I come in and know that I like it slightly sweeter than normal! I love this place! Friendly and awesome every time

Lawrence King

Love this place! Best coffee in town

I have hated coffee my whole life and tried my husband's black coffee here and it is really good! No harsh bitter after taste- amazing! Waffles are delicious, creative drinks taste lovely; it is one of my new favorite places in Mount Pleasant.

Best Nitro Cold Brew I've ever had!

Faith Carolyne

I absolutely L O V E this place! I have a passion for coffee, and cozy coffee shops as well- this place is encapsulates both of these things. Employees there have a obvious passion for coffee, and do their best to create the cozy environment I desire. I live states away, and I brag on this place everywhere I go! This is easily my most favorite coffee shop in the world, and I have been to many! Not to mention their friendly environment, and wonderful food!

Obsidian Phoenix

Loved their chai latte. Never had one with real steamed milk and foam before

Sassi D

Traveling this summer and so thrilled to find Ponder Coffee! Excellent service and the menu includes gluten free dairy free options! The coffee quality takes fresh to a whole new level!!

Kevin Goddard

Super friendly, great drinks.

Shawna Conley

Love their lavender vanilla lattes

Nicolette Wilson

Excellent coffee! You can drink it black and it tastes wonderful (for those of us that don't normally drink black coffee). We buy a variety of beans here, which are also excellent. They have a subscription program for the beans that lowers the price.

Marian Matyn

Good food, service, prices. I wish the chairs were more comfy.

Justin Baker

My favorite coffee shop in Mt Pleasant. Their coffee is their own product line - before they opened a storefront, they were coffee roasters, and they are highly committed to the quality of their product. Plus, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are super nice. I've been many times, and I'll go over and over. Love this place.

Catherine Schafer

A great little place!

Wendy Epple

Great specialty coffee with cream art on top

Firas S

Great little coffee shop with local goods. Friendly staff. Loved the ambience. Just wish they were open longer and had a bit more seating

Best coffee in town! Waffle Sundays are amazing!

Barnes Randall

A nice, quaint coffee shop. A very warm and welcoming staff. Great place to hangout or to meet with friends.

Ryan Egeler

Exceptional coffee & service. The best shop in town without question! Nothing but the best quality, at affordable prices. It's my go-to for morning coffee, and afternoon meetings. Nothing bad to say about this place. It's worth a visit. They have opened a second location close to CMU's campus.

Erin Riley

Delicious coffee, clean and modern little shop

Erin Geno

Well executed coffee drinks and pastries. In town from Boston to visit family and quality rivals the best shops back home but the atmosphere is better! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, enough seating. Breakfast options and waffles looked good too, but we didn't get a chance to try. Maybe next time... A gem in Mt Pleasant.

Matt Hewitt

Get a waffle. You will not be disappointed. I mean the coffee is great as well, but the waffles are what keeps my family coming back.

Chase Simpson

This place is the best coffee place in town by far. Plus they're super friendly.

Doug Flegel

The Ambiance was one of uniqueness. And it's because of that I will go back again. They roast,and blend their own coffee, it is not for those who do not understand coffee it is for those who appreciate coffee, and a nice place to appreciate the day.

Eric Baerren

Wish they wouldn't a gotten rid of the curry slaw.

Heidi F

Excellent experience every time! Great coffee, great food, and the owners are beyond friendly!

Frank Williamson

Ok

Hilary Walden

Super friendly with an easy going atmosphere. I had a caffeinated cinnamon beverage that wasn'tsickeningly sweet and my 7 year old had a sprinkle covered baked goody he declared the best thing ever.

keith drinkard

Great coffee! Extremely unique and tasty sandwiches, Superb waffles! Uniquely satisfying atmosphere. Drink it in!

Bryce Masterson

Was visiting from out of town, stopped by this place, not having been here before I was really happy with everything. I'd recommend this place above all other coffee shops in Mount Pleasant.

Gabrielle Likavec

A great atmosphere, with good coffee, and reasonable prices.

Benjamin Moe

I went to Ponder Coffee for waffles with my wife and two kids and was quite impressed. My wife had purchased their coffee for me in the past (which is really good) but I had never been to their shop. The coffee was naturally good and the waffles were delicious. I got the Berries and Cream waffles and couldn't quite finish the whole thing. I will certainly go back and I highly recommend checking them out. Support local!

Steve Tyler

Only the best from this place!

Kathleen Rozga

Great avacado toast!

Kyle

Favorite coffee shop

greg lazser

I'm not a huge gormet coffee person, but I enjoyed. Friendly service with outdoor seeting.

Ellen Villa

This was the best cup of coffee I have ever had! I was in the foodservice business for over 30 years and have had my share of great coffee...hands down this made me keep asking my wife when we were coming back!!

Avery Little

Waffle was my first word, it's always been my comfort food. Their waffles are pretty damn good - decadent really. Coffee is satisfying and they have a healthy variety to boot. My favorite little spot in Mt. P.

tylerl2418

The lattes are amazing without overloading you with sugar and the Sunday waffles are the best I've ever had. The service is fast and friendly and the owners are incredibly nice.

Brittany Shoen

Delicious drinks and waffles! Classic coffee house atmosphere with inside and outside seating, perfect Saturday (or any) morning spot! Staff is always very friendly

Kelly Nack

Leah Parker

Great place, nice people, good coffee.

Kirsten Davis

Wonderful!! They even roast their own beans!!

Christopher Sindik

We've been going here since almost Day 1 and it is still awesome. This is HANDS DOWN the best coffee in Mount Pleasant. The owners of the place care about what they do, the coffee they make and the people that come in the door. We get both hot and cold drinks, waffles, sandwiches, and whole bean coffee. Great place to grab a coffee and go or spend a few hours working. Love this place and I'm grateful it exists every time I go in.

Kelly Staten

Great vegan options and delicious lattes!

Caity Sweet Burnell

Mt Pleasant's little slice of coffee & waffle heaven!
