I was in town for a day trip and stopped by this place completely by chance, and was pleasantly surprised. My mission was to get something quick to eat before I was on my way back home. They offered quite a bit of food options. I got a small quiche and a muffin, and ordered tea (not a coffee person, so no coffee info in this review). The sole staff member at the time was friendly and helpful. The place was nicely organized and almost soothing. Thoroughly enjoyed my food and time there.

Super cute, cheerful, and inviting coffee house. They offer a nice variety and make their own flavor sauces and syrups. The drinks we got were the Vanilla Latte and a White Chocolate frappe. They had a bunch of plants and greenery in the shop with a nice lounge area. Perfect for a nice little hangout. Honestly the best I've had in a long time. It was our first time at Live Oak Coffeehouse and it will not be the last. They outdo Stardollars any day! Thank you for a lovely experience! Keep up the good work.

What a great little coffee shop. I ordered an almond milk macchiato. It was delicious. The presentation of the macchiato was average, so I wanted to test out the flavor of the cortado. I ordered a cortado with the unsweetened almond milk. The flavor of the cortado was perfect. The presentation was average. I usually look for a beautiful presentation, but as long as the flavor is amazing, I'm OK with it They have some baked goods here. They offer several different types of muffins and cookies. They also sell bags of whole bean coffee, honey, etc. The staff was amazing. The woman that waited on me was very kind, helpful and friendly. I like the message this coffee shop is sending to. They sell some shirts that are basically about being a kind person and a good human. I love that message. This was a great little find. They lose one star for presentation.

Heading up to St. Ignace & needed some coffee halfway through. We usually don’t go so far off the highway to stop but glad we did! Really cute shop with lots of pastry options. The baristas were super sweet and let us use our to-go coffee mugs which we always appreciate. Got our regular oat milk lattes and they were great!Pastries looked incredible so may have to stop and grab some on the way home! We’ll be back for sure!

I received my order via Grubhub delivery (thank you so much for offering that). I work across town from the coffee shop so I fully expected to have to microwave my latte and put my quiche in the air fryer. My quiche was double wrapped in foil and was still HOT, not just warm, actually hot and so was my coffee. I don’t normally write reviews, much less a google review, but this was a pleasant surprise and so good! 10/10 awesome job!

I went to college / used to work in up in the uptown area, and I always loved coming here to study, and grab a chai tea They have such a cute vibe / fun little details. I love the sense of “local” that they have in there with the Bay City map on the wall!

This place is so cute! Reminds me of a coffee shop from home! Love coming to fill the homesick void! It's a small location, so I wouldn't bring a group larger than 3 or 4. I recommend the lavender. You really can't go wrong with lavender! It's in a great area to have a nice little walk after ordering as well!

Had a very refreshing blood orange ice tea here. Place looks nice and clean. Comfy atmosphere and friendly staff. Dog friendly Saginaw River boardwalk is right there to enjoy your drink. Recommended this place and will be back again.
