“ I am from out of town, but heard about a new coffee shop in downtown Gaylord. Stepped into a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I am not a coffee drinker but was made the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted. Perfect for the 43 inches of snow we found in town! I indulged with a cherry chip scone. Delicious. I will be back. I love the family atmosphere and WiFi. Support this family owned small business! ”
“ Very welcoming coffee shop. There is seating, but it is limited. Great place to do some remote work, music is a bit louder, so maybe not the best for conference calls. They have gluten free goodies, too! ”
“ Delicious coffee but even nicer people. It's always great, being tired and needing caffeine, to have the workers smile and talk to you and make the morning a little better. Great place and great people. Coffee was delicious, but the muffins were just average. I'd still go back again in a heartbeat. ”
“ The staff here are wonderful individuals! My wife and I were out of town and had our two very cold young children with us (after some fun outdoor activities) - the staff went above and beyond to make our kids feel comfortable, welcome and to make sure they warmed up :) What a blessing this coffee shop was! The food and beverages are also worth every penny! ”
“ SUPER great coffee! No bitterness whatsoever. In my personal opinion, and my daughters, far better coffee than Starbucks! The staff was super friendly and fun to talk with. Great local spot. I'll be back for sure, and soon! ”
“ We found a warm welcome and delicious coffee and tea at Brennan’s. Service was amazing and we were very happy with our beverages. The bread and pastries looked delicious but we’ll have to wait to try those another time. Wish I could come every day!! ”
“ Quaint but charming local coffee shop. All the drinks I’ve had here have been delicious, and the staff are always so friendly. Thank you! ”
“ This is the CUTEST coffee shop ever! It’s a family run business and the owner, Patti’s, adorable son was our cashier. She shared their amazing story—the shop was named after one of their children who passed away. The shop is beautiful and cozy. There is even a little nook with games. Patti is wonderful and there is a really good feeling here. ”
