I try to stop here whenever I'm in Grand Marais. The people are terrific, and they'll make pretty much any drink you want. There's also free Wifi so you can catch up on email if you want to. Great place!

I've never found Java Moose that impressive. I've tried regular coffee and espresso drinks without finding that something that makes me want to return. Friendly staff. A Caribou or Dunn Brothers would easily compete.

as the title states...each time in town we head there. It's quite good and the girls who work there are nice. Sometimes you get one that is really friendly and talkative and that just feels "right" for a coffee shop to have that kind of worker...it's a warm and inviting place and the owners are quite friendly and outgoing.

Look no further. This is our watering hole! Sitting by the water with a cuppa joe, relaxing and watching the harbor.....enough said.

I love this place. It's a perfect stop to begin your day or to grab your favorite beverage prior to window shopping or walking along the Harbor.

We got coffee there each morning. Good coffee, good service. They have a parking lot so you can just pull in and grab a cup.

When we are up north, I want to go to the Java Moose everyday! Nice people, fun atmosphere, such a great scenic view they have to shovel their deck which faces Lake Superior in the winter and people really sit outside! They will draw a moose in your drink, even if you get whipped cream. On Valentine's Day they made... More

Wife and I stopped by twice a day during our Grand Marais visit in November. Great mocha and other flavored coffees each time we ordered. Great local flair and ambiance. Beautiful location across the street from Lake Superior. Wish I could transport the place to the cities!!!

This is your typical coffeehouse with a northern flavor. My wife and I are from southern Illinois and they folks that waited on us got the biggest kick out of our southern accents.....which we didn't think we had. LOL
