Why everyone keeps coming back.

BIGGBY COFFEE located at 1655 Wright Ave in Alma, MI, is much more than your average coffee shop — it’s a vibrant haven for coffee enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. This multifaceted establishment seamlessly combines the charm of a cozy café with the expertise of a dedicated coffee roaster, espresso bar, and wholesaler, catering to a diverse set of tastes and preferences.

Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the inviting atmosphere: clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged to make every guest feel comfortable. Whether you’re grabbing a quick caffeine boost or meeting friends for a leisurely chat, BIGGBY COFFEE offers an experience that strikes the perfect balance between energy and relaxation. Staff members like Emma and other friendly baristas clearly take pride in their craft, delivering personalized service that brings warmth to your visit, as reflected by delighted customers who’ve noted how helpful and personable the team is.

Their menu reads like a delightful journey through innovative and refreshing coffeehouse creations. For those craving a frozen treat, the Creme Freeze series is a must-try — absolutely crave-worthy blends such as the Neapolitan Creme Freeze, which layers strawberry sweetness, mocha richness, and a splash of vanilla, all crowned with whipped cream. The concoctions are cool, creamy, and vibrant, perfectly balancing bold espresso notes with refreshing fruit infusions and smooth dairy.

Adventure seekers can sip on the Mango Blood Orange Creme Freeze, where tangy citrus and luscious mango dance on the palate, or the Cold Brew Creme Freeze with Sweet Foam, an indulgent, frothy delight that redefines the classic cold brew experience. For tea lovers, the frozen tea lattes stand out, particularly the Frozen Spice of Life Cosmic Chai – a glorious blend of hot spicy cinnamon and cosmic chai flavors that warms from within even as it refreshes.

IQced lattes also showcase BIGGBY’s mastery over combining rich espresso with complementary flavors. The Iced Honey Cinnamon Vanilla Latte marries the sweetness of honey and vanilla with a kiss of cinnamon, creating a layered, comforting sip that’s equally good for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a casual morning treat. Meanwhile, the Iced Spotted Owl offers a nutty, smooth experience accented with hazelnut nuances and gentle vanilla finishes, topped with just the right amount of whipped cream for a touch of decadence.

Customers repeatedly highlight not only the high quality and taste of their drinks but also the uplifting customer service. Darcie Benton was impressed by how well the baristas guided her and her mom through the specials, adding a personal touch that enhanced their experience. Lexie Griffiths praised the staff’s friendliness and found the coffee “delicious,” perfectly summing up the welcoming vibe this spot offers. Even during busy shopping days like Black Friday, visitors like Chris Becker appreciated the helpful staff and energizing mocha drinks that fueled their day.

Though some mention the place can be a little pricey, the overall consensus acknowledges that BIGGBY COFFEE is worth every penny for the quality and care delivered. Seating is a bit limited, but for locals and visitors alike, there’s an exciting change underway with plans to open a new facility just across the street featuring a convenient drive-thru service—perfect for those bustling mornings on the go.

Whether you’re a local Alma resident or just passing through, BIGGBY COFFEE offers a spirited, memorable coffee experience where passion for the craft meets genuine hospitality. It’s a coffee destination that leaves you not only satisfied but truly cared for, one cup at a time.

The barista was super helpful when ordering the drinks, letting us know about the specials when my.mom and I were consulting one another on what to get. That helped us a lot and put us in a good mood. The store was very clean and well maintained and we were comfortable for our time there.

The French Roast coffee is phenomenal, along with a choice of cupcakes as well. Always a great stop and the wait is only 2-3 minutes. Seating and table setting arecurrently limited, but enough for those who opt to sit while coffee is brewing. New ownership will be soon transitioning to a new facility across the street which offers a drive-thru, a service not available at its current location. They also offer breakfast bagel among other food item. Never a disappointment!

The service there is spectacular! The staff has everything put together and they can take multiple orders at once with a nice time to give you your coffee/drink/food. And not to mention there is a variety of food and drinks there. I would recommend going here. They also have a points card if you go there often.

A great place to get a coffee! The Baristas and really helpful and courteous, and the prices are pretty reasonable! I also love how aesthetically pleasing the inside is! The only thing I dislike is how the drive thru/parking is set up, but I believe that is out of this location's control so just be mindful when entering and exiting the area! All on all, this is my favorite place when I want to treat myself!
