Brighton Coffee House and Theater in Brighton

Location on the map
Brighton, Livingston County, Michigan, US
One of the best cozy coffee shops in the area and the prices are reasonable. The decor is so beautiful inside and outside views are even better next to the lake.
Good location downtown with both indoor and outdoor seating. Good coffee with a fun diagram explaining exactly what youre ordering so you dont need to pretend to understand the difference between a latte and a macchiato. Would absolutely return.
The coffee here was just ok. The bumble bee latte (I believe that’s what it was called) had way too much flavoring—you actually couldn’t taste any coffee notes at all. It was just sweet honey/lavender syrup flavor. Ton of ice in the drink, and I also had to wait forever for it. The girl working struck up a conversation with the person after me in line for several minutes which made everyone wait for their drinks and the people behind her in line had to wait even longer to order. I was hoping to be in and out rather quickly as I was on a road trip and just needed a quick caffeine hit, but it took me about 20/25 mins to get in and out. I just wasn’t impressed.
On vacation and needed wifi for a zoom meeting. Stopped in and had cafe mocha, cinnamon twist, blueberry muffin, and a to go honey lavender latte. Bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly, plenty of seating, and nice scenery. They also had outdoor seating and seating that looked over the Mill pond.
The place needs to have a better feel, the tables are out in the middle of a huge room with no partitions to make you feel a little more private, the concrete floors only aid in the harsh feel of this decent place to get coffee. The food selection is extremely limited to one muffin or a breakfast roll up.
Inside wasa poorly organized and messy seating area. Impossible to relax. Should not be called a theater at all. The woman that took our order was very rude loudly tapping on the table while we made our decision and made rude comments when I asked about their sandwich selection. I was nothing but nice the whole time, and there was no one behind us, no reason to treat first time customers like that. Regardless my teenage daughter still like their food.
Very friendly and attentive staff. Great location in downtown Brighton right by the waterfront. Parking in the back was easy. I had a the iced caramel latte which was great! Very cute interior with lots of comfortable seating, and a piano you can play.
The staff was very friendly, they have an amazing selection and the coffee was great! Theres a ton of seating both inside and outside. an overall wonderful place to visit and have a great coffee or snack.
Amazing handcrafted lattes. Some vegan baked goods baked fresh daily. Great service. An amazing go to coffeehouse
Great place to come visit. Great drinks! Friendly staff! The iced mochas are very good here!

Love this place. Staff have become friends. A great place to meet with friends or work for a few hours (or all day).
I enjoyed my visit today at the Brighton Coffee House and Theater. Its often referred to as the BCAT by locals. The space is very inviting with lots of tables to sit and enjoy coffee. They have low table and chairs, high tables and chairs, bar stools and comfy chairs such as couches and recliners. They have tables located close to outlets in case you need to charge computers or other technological devices. The BCAT has free wi-fi which makes it the perfect place to work on school work, projects or actual business work. The space is kept very clean as well as the onsite bathrooms which are kept stocked with the bathroom essentials. It has a few larger tables that a group could meet to work on projects or a group of friends that could just hang out to do homework together. They have a wide selection of both cold and hot coffees, teas and smoothies. I ordered a latte which was served in a nice coffee cup. They also have to go cups in case you are just stopping in to take something with you. They offer different kinds of milks such as almond and oat, as well as traditional milk. They have flavorings to add to your lattes. They are keeping up with the new trend of saving plastic by offering paper straws. They have a wide variety of baked goods for sale also. They offer lunch like sandwiches, soups and salads. They employ a baker who is dedicated to offering scrumptious yet healthy muffins and cookies using a variety of flours and also gluten free options. They staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and also willing to accommodate any requests. I personally have an allergy to nuts and they were careful to not cross contaminate my order. They even have a private menu that just the locals would know of. My mom orders the cafe Miele which is a coffee, steamed milk with cinnamon and honey added to it. If you have time to explore, they have an extra room that is upstairs for a quieter setting that overlooks the millpond. They have special events and those can be accessed on the website. They often host comedians, and theatrical plays. They have had musical groups perform as well as individual musicians which makes the space great for a friday night out. Some of these advance tickets are required but some are just walkin. They often have local talent featured. The building itself has been in brighton for a long time. It’s a beautiful brick exterior that was the home to other businesses such as a book-store and clothing stores. The owners of the coffee shop are residents of Brighton and are providing such an enjoyable space for Brightons residents and visitors. People have been known to drive from other towns just to hang out and enjoy the great coffee and wonderful atmosphere the BCAT has to offer. It’s centrally located in downtown Brighton near the Millpond, an iconic location to Brighton. The parking is out front on the mainstreet as well as some dedicated parking to customers of the BCAT that are behind the BCAT. As most people who live in Brighton know our town is pretty busy and parking can be a challenge. During the winter it is easier to find parking behind the coffee house because the imagination station isn’t used much during the winter months. Either way wherever you find parking it is worth a short walk for such a great establishment. I would 100% recommend the BCAT to anyone looking for a good coffee place in Brighton.
Ok place. Nothing amazing, nothing really bad. Ill take it over Starbucks any day. The coffee is mostly made by teens joking and playing around. You ask for cappuccino and get a latte. Come the 2nd time ask for a dry cappuccino and still get a latte. If you like lattes, Im sure you will get one no matter what you order.
Delicious latte, so many flavors to choose from and very knowledgeable & friendly staff! The view of the pond in the back is very nice also.
I came for some Feel Better Tea to enjoy while listening to the Open Mic night. The collection of artists was varied - in age, style, voice, experience - but all quite enjoyable. It is clear they have built up a community of performers, but also that these performers are welcoming of others. The sense of camaraderie was evident. Children and adults were there to enjoy and support a family member or friend, and it was an enjoyable night. I had no idea how many songwriters we have in the Brighton area! (Artists performed covers and some original works.)
Great coffee and pastries. My only issue is seating. Many many folks using tables as their office/study area and staying for hours. makes it hard to pop in for coffee or to meet friends
Quick service, great indoor ambience, Terrific outdoor patio facing the Mill Pond. Coffee was 🤤
Wonderful place to meet with friends or clients! Although it can get loud in there during a rush, its always a laid back atmosphere with great coffee and exceptional staff!
I got a decaf coffee and it was delicious. The best cup of decaf I ever had! Was also happy with the sandwich I ordered. The place is very nice and has great ambiance to meet with friends or even sit at a table alone.
This is really one of my favorite places around the Brighton Mill Pond to sit, mingle, be near the water and enjoy being a human.
Tried this place on a Sunday morning with some friends. Nice relaxing atmosphere. I ordered a single espresso. Most places have really bitter espresso but this was wonderful. They also had delicious looking scones and croissants but I didnt try those...yet!
Great coffee, sweets, and food! Perfect place to get work done or relax with friends
This is A+ rating such a amazing atmosphere.But the fresh roasted beans is next level coffee If your in Brighton run don’t walk to this great hometown feel !!!!!
I love this coffee shop; great coffee and drinks every time. Definitely recommend their Chia lattes.
New place I had to try. It is huge, not too busy (but it will be) and comfortable. The wait-staff were very nice and hospitable. They have a very pleasant atmosphere with a ton of comfortable seating, a fireplace and planned live music tonight. I think this will turn into a regular weekend thing for me.
This was a relaxing and comfortable place to relax, especially for people who dont want to go to a bar. There was live music the night of my visit and I enjoyed it along with a really good pot of tea. They have an ample selection of high quality loose leaf teas to choose from and it was enough for two people. Such a nice place!
This is the PERFECT place. Its hard to believe its only been open for a couple weeks. The service is wonderful, the owners are here everyday and are very kind people. The coffee and treats are delicious and affordable. It is a great place for community interaction, with quiet places to study. They in a convenient spot in downtown Brighton, have reliable wifi and great lighting. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly! I would recommend the coffee house for get fun time and quiet time! Im looking forward to spending more time here.
I really cant think of much if anything to improve this place. More menu variety would always be nice, but for what the location is its absolutely fantastic.Super cozy, relaxed chill atmosphere with usually at least a few people reading or working inside. Tasty and reasonably priced drinks all served to you by some very polite people.And their AC is delightful to walk into from 80° weather, though that may just be my weakness to the heat.
Lovely little nook. Great coffee with a phenomenal pour over. Great atmosphere
Great coffee and atmosphere! They sometimes have live music which is a blast!
It is overpriced but everything made right in front of you and SOOOO good. Lots of good flavors to choose from and seasonal/monthly flavors. Straws are biodegradable so good for environment but disintegrate with your drink so you get soggy straws and smaller holes. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice ambiance. Right on millpond. Stage with piano for entertainment inside. Games and books available to use while there. A quieter upstairs if you want, with a gorgeous view. Staff is always very friendly. Set up is a little strange (the straws, napkins, etc. are on a different table in strange containers). Only 1 trashcan inside and 1 outside. They do have parking around back, though, so if you dont want to parallel park on main drag you dont have to. I love this place. They make vegan and gluten free food and will take requests.
I can be a tough reviewer but this place deserves 5 Stars. With coffee roasted in front of you, pastries that surpass and an environment of community Brighton Coffee House is a stunning addition to an already phenomenal city.
Im honestly tempted to move to Brighton just to be closer to this coffeehouse. It has a wonderful, warm, welcoming environment and some of the friendliest staff Ive ever encountered. The chai is my go-to drink, but everything Ive tasted (from pastries to drip coffee) gets added to my favorites. If youre in the area or just looking for a good place to take a break and caffeinate, this is it. You wont be disappointed.
Great coffee, food and atmosphere. As a musician, this is one of the best sounding open mic venues I have played at. The acoustics are phenomenal!
I love this place. They have good drinks, phenomenal sandwiches (named after Shakespeare characters, which is nerdy and perfect), and a fun vibe. Theres a ton of seating, some comfy chairs, other tables, lots of natural light, and a beautiful outdoor patio right next to the Mill Pond.
The most recent trip, we enjoyed the spacious, nicely decorated, outdoor patio. Seating allowed an unobstructed view of the millpond just the other side of the sidewalk from us (20 away). Good food and service, great outdoor experience. Friends and I will remember it.
Really nice place to sit for a coffee. We really enjoyed the home like atmosphere inside.
One of the best pour over coffees in the area. Variety of coffee. Tasty treats with options always changing. Friendly knowledgeable owners.
I wish the owner hadn’t interrupted my work conference call, so embarrassing. She could see / hear I was talking on the phone but chose to loudly and impolitely interrupt without sufficient warning so that I could mute the call. I felt it was highly inappropriate. Could have been managed so much better. I am hopeful though that next time she’ll handle it more discretely. Perhaps she was having a bad day.
Excellent custom drinks and excellent staff. The owner has made this a special place in this community. If you get there early enough, you might get lucky and hear the staff singing! This place seems to seep positive vibes to anyone that comes in. Great food too!
Stopped here after a doctors appointment, would drive 40 minutes to Brighton just to come here again. Great coffee, atmosphere, and staff
I was just in there today to get a coffee and croissant. The young lady at the counter was friendly. I had a child with special needs with me. I was getting a lid for my iced coffee since they did not put one on . The child I was with was looking at the open piano that was sitting there and touched a key. A woman stormed at us and yelled at my child. It was alarming. Definitely not a child friendly place. Will never return.
I really love the atmosphere of the Brighton Coffee House and theater. Its a lovely place to go and you can take your drinks outside and sit by the water. It really does feel a little bit like youre on vacation there because its just so pretty. I only gave them three stars because they dont offer heavy cream as an option and that leaves out a lot of the population thats just trying to get a nice coffee without adding a lot of sugar. So if youre eating keto or low carb, dont expect very many choices at all here.
Visited when staying with family for a week and loved it. Had the Chai Beet, which was a combination I hadnt seen before and was a fantastic drink. Didnt stay because of covid, but it looked like a cozy and welcoming place. Will definitely go again when Im in the area and hopefully be able to stick around inside.
Adorable coffee shop with delicious coffee and baked goods. I’ve also performed here twice through my choir/vocal studio and they were very friendly and accommodating. Overall a great place to hang out, study, or just stop in to grab a drink.
Wow! This is an awesome coffee place. I loved the atmosphere and was able to comfortably meet my wedding photographer here and enjoy a latte (which totally slapped). We enjoyed the free wifi and worked on our laptops for about 2 hours.
The owners and staff are awesome people! Very kind, thoughtful, ready to please. They make everyone feel welcome. The coffee is amazing!!The coffee house itself is so inviting. Large windows let in natural light, reflecting off the classic coffee bar area. There are many tables to enjoy your cuppa in this intimate and relaxed setting. And even when most tables are filled there is still an open feeling instead of the typical crowded coffee house feel.They add so much more than just a wonderful coffee shop to our town. Every time I go I leave feeling so blessed.
Great New place in Downtown Brighton! Coffee beans roasted on site, lots of quick bites, live entertainment in the evenings! Check it out!
Cold brew is awesome, pour over coffee is worth the wait. Lattes, cappuccino, and specialty drinks are spot on, better than overpriced Starbucks. The owners, I think a married couple, are there frequently and they really care about the business. Attentive, friendly and hard-working staff. We go there multiple times a week. Highly recommended.
After only a few visits to this wonderful establishment, I fell in love! Whether the coffee, food and specialty drinks, atmosphere or staff - this is the place to be. Great venue including outdoor patio and indoor seating with a more private section if needed. They offer books to read and games to play if you choose; along with a piano and stage to perform. Ive heard they do open mic nights, live music and plays - cant wait for things to start back up! Im in here at least twice a week!
The Gluten Free raseberry muffins where so delightful, we went out of our way to go back the next day. The tea selection was lovely and the prices were just right!
Stopped in for a quick coffee to go. Staff was friendly and coffee was great! Also purchased a delicious pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. Only reason I didnt give 5 stars is because I dont feel like I got a rounded idea of the menu.
The coffee is good and priced fairly. I have had their food as well and enjoyed it. My wife is Gluten Free and loves their cookies. Its a nice big space, perfect for letting my toddler run around while we sip on our coffee!
They need to train their staff how to make basic coffee drinks. I ordered cappuccino, it was more like milk with a touch of coffee and the temperature of the drink was just warm. This is a real disappointment. I will give them one more chance before never again.BTW, I had the drink yesterday Saturday at 6 pm. .... in case the manager needs to know the working staff at that timeThe guy that was working their had the mask below his nose.... come on ?!?! .... COVID-19The girl had the mask correct.
They dont like to turn on the fireplace nor raise hear in a frigid cold day. Most people had to have their jackets on. Yet the coffee was the most expensive!
Great place, go there all the time after school
Staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I love the atmosphere of comfortable Brighton living. Every time I walk in I feel like I am home even if I do not know another person there. I love their homemade baked goods. My office just moved to downtown Brighton and I am sure I will be going to Brighton Coffee House all the time.
This place has become my new happy place. Its my favorite spot in Brighton to work remotely, for so many reasons: The staff is so incredibly warm and accommodating, the food and drinks are great, the ambiance is just right (tons of natural light, a great patio out back overlooking the pond, and a fireplace inside for cold/wintry weather), and the WiFi never falters -- essential these days. :) Really great clientele, too; everyone is so friendly. Ive not yet checked out any of the performances here, but I look forward to doing so. Kudos to the owners for making such a magical community space for this town.
Amongst the best coffee roasters I have ever had privilege to enjoy. They are very good at bringing out fruit notes, depending on growing region, if that is your bag of Joe.
This is a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. They do have entertainment at times, as of yet I havent been able to appreciate some of the local talent. They have plenty of seating and have an upper level. BCH has some great bakery and other items to accompany youre coffee or tea including some gluten free muffins. They are priced a bit on the high side is why I gave four starts instead of five.
This is our FAVORITE place to go for coffee and to work. The coffee is amazing! The food is also really good! The owners and staff are friendly, happy and helpful. I highly recommend it!
Great atmosphere and coffee was decent!
Very busy, but good food for a reasonable price. Still was able to find seating quickly for 2.
This is everything a coffee house should be! There is a small quieter area if you need to focus and a large space with a stage for their local performances. The passion for coffee was obviously present in the staff. They had pour over coffee, cold brew drip coffee brewing, specialty drinks, gourmet tea, baked goods and sandwiches. Most of all the had a welcoming environment, one of the owners was working and knew about 70 percent of the people that walked in and she provided them with personal recommendations based on their previous orders. I will definitely be returning on a regular basis.
Best coffee in town hands down. Im thrilled they are so ideally located. They fresh roast & grind on site, make amazing pour-over, French Press & cold brew (seasonal), as well as espresso drinks and regular drip brew coffee. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is warm & eclectic.
Gluten free chocolate cookies that are homemade and delicious!! Love the atmosphere and staff is awesome. Excellent cappuccinos. I highly recommend this place for gatherings with friends and solo sanctuary. Wonderful view of Lake and boardwalk in Brighton downtown.
This place is so amazing! Everyone is so nice, and the coffee is amazing. And best of all, I dropped my phone in the pond and one of the owners was nice enough to actually go home, get his swimming trunks on, and get into the water to get it! And, he even put it in a little bag of rice for me :)I will be going more often, and you should too!
Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the coffee. Choose the place near to fire place 😉
Finally! A proper coffee shop in downtown Brighton. The location is great, with spacious seating. They are roasting their own beans (and seem to know what theyre doing), offer espresso, pour-over, french press, cold brew, etc. Havent tried the food, but the coffee is great. My one complaint is they need proper menus/signage. The chalkboard reads they have soups, salads, and sandwiches. Great, which ones? When I ask for a pour-over, Im asked if I want light, medium, or dark? Upon asking if they have single-origin Im told there is a map on the far wall with descriptions. A simple list of beans available on a chalkboard would be fine and I can read a map for more info if I want. All in all, great soft opening. Looking forward to what happens next for them.
The almond mocha was superb!! Thanks for an amazing experience!! Loved the artwork and atmosphere!!
Super friendly staff, very relaxing atmosphere, and great soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well as to-die-for baked goods. Plus, BCAT is almost always open, which makes it super easy to plan a visit or go last-minute. Five stars! I love this coffee house and all the friends I’ve invited love it too!
I love this place and want to support their business. But my husband and I went in this week and only one employee was wearing a mask; at the payment spot. Those preparing our drinks were not, and customers were milling around without them, too and making no effort to distance. So, sadly, we will not return until COVID is gone.
Wonderfully quient and very welcoming. As well as free wifi. Overall wonderful place. Also got this photo.
Amy and Markus are so friendly and always willing to listen about whatever it is I decide to blab about. The place is clean and the coffee is never bad. Some days I dont get much and theyre fine with that. When I need a recommendation theyre there. Brighton has needed a place like this for a while now and I think its the breath of fresh air this city needed. On a personal note, I like this place WAY better than Two Brothers Coffee. That place has very not good coffee (decent food and amazing lemonade though).
My wife and I have definitely found a new favorite place! We even got to talk with the owner as he roasted coffee beans (They roast them in house). Great guy and awesome atmosphere, also, really good coffee!
Great coffee shop. Latte and cappuccino were well made, milk wasnt burnt at all, great atmosphere and customer service. Outdoor seating area is pretty awesome too!
If your an espresso lover go here. Excellent!!!! Best place in Livingston County hands down! Very nice people and live music at times! LOVE the home made baked goods too.
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Fair prices and good coffee. Must stop for your coffee needs.
Great coffee shop....great service awesome atmosphere
This place is so cute!!! Coffee was amazing! Snacks were super good and they had all these super cool old books from the 1800s. Such an amazing place to relax .. Will definitely be back!!!
Terrific service in a nice setting in downtown. Plenty of drink choices and seating options. A nice alternative to a chain place.
We love coming here for the wonderful coffee, hearty scones, but most of all, the employees! They are always welcoming, offer free samples, give helpful suggestions, and are genuinely happy people. Please keep up the excellent job!
Coffee is good, atmosphere was crowded and a.little loud. Went there for a meeting, not ideal for conversation
Classic old Town coffee House feel, good service, good espresso!I like that they are open late.
Everything was great....service, food and coffee...they have a great patio out front on main street or sit out back by river....this is true coffee house...
Absolutely love the coffee here
Great little place right on Main Street. Small but wonderful menu. There is a stage and artwork. So I look forward to the entertainment theyll hopefully bring in. Also the service was accommodating and personable. I have nothing but praise to give the Coffee House.
Great coffee, huge space with tons of potential and would make for a nice place for meetings with the side rooms. They also hold events like open mics and theater performances so an awesome place to hang out! Staff is very friendly as well.
Love love love this place! C ant wait to go back and see some theatre acts!! Spencer works there and hes engaging, delightful, a beautiful person, you will love him and the hot white chocolate with plenty of whip cream!!
We drive 30 min for this cappucino, is really good 👍😋
Thrilled to have this new hangout in downtown Brighton! Super-friendly owners & staff, yummy food, delicious coffee. Cant wait to go back! Hope the audience will quiet down during future performances, though. 🙄
Every time I come here Im treated like a regular, even though Ive only been here 2-3 times so far. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Very cozy feel, yet large enough to accommodate a crowd. I would come here every day if I could!
Best coffee in Brighton, I especially like the pout over with custom on site roasted beans. They alway have several beans in jars for you to sniff and examine. A real coffee shop experience, complete offerings exceptional coffee outstanding food which in my humble opinion are difficult to find together. Brighton Coffee House and Theater is an exception. Quality Theater and performance put this place over the top, I thought I was in New York with Trees and quite friendly midwestern charm
Love this place! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, nice outdoor area overlooking the water, and tasty coffee.
I have been here twice now, the first time my mocha lacked flavor and what flavor it did have was too... bitter? Or maybe acidic? Its hard to label. On my second visit I ordered an iced Americano, and was really bracing myself for that to over the top bitter/acidic, but to my surprise it was relly good. Ill give it a few more tries and see if my review needs to be updated.
Fun place with good coffee and sweet eats and local musicians come in and play on the weekend very family friendly good place to hang out and socialize get out to the Brighton Coffee House you will enjoy.
They were very busy when we were there. The girl behind the counter forgot part of our order but was very apologetic when we had to ask again for our pastries.
This was a quite large and very pleasant Coffee House. The interior was unique even for coffee houses and they have several rooms off to the side filled with upholstered furniture overlooking the water in downtown Brighton. One of the nicest places Ive ever been. The folks Manning the coffee counter were very pleasant and helpful and I had the most delicious piece of carrot cake that Ive had in years. The Wi-Fi is also a cut above the average when it comes to coffee houses and their Wi-Fi setups. I would definitely recommend this for anybody who happens to be in the town of Brighton and wants a desert and or a cup of very good coffee.
Cool vibe. My husband had some work to do and we wanted to go out for dinner. I brought a book and he worked away. It was quiet and charming. Sandwiches were delicious as well as the sodas. My one complaint was that it was cold 😊 We will be back.
Visiting from out of town and have been here everyday. The staff is very friendly and the coffee is great! Love the open space. Would definitely be a regular if I lived here.
Awesome brah!I really enjoy this place. Customer service is always spot on and the drinks, sandwiches, and other onsite made baked treats are always a delight.Ok end of review, now coffee soap box.Brighton Coffee House is Brightons only coffee shop that fine tunes their espresso and roasted beans. Not only do they roast onsite, theres an art to dialing in espresso.What the heck does this mean?A professional espresso shot is a combination of the grind, the water, the temperature, the time and weight of the drip, and the bean. Any minute change to any of these factors can wildly swing the taste and texture of your espresso. Your niche coffee shops are some of the only places youll find this level of craft and we should be lucky to have such an establishment in Brighton.Starbucks, as an example, uses a bean roast thats burnt, a generic grind, and automated process. This is how they ensure a consistent flavor from stop to stop. Also why most all of their drinks mask the flavor with syrups and sugar. Try a straight espresso shot from starbucks and at least to me, its not a pleasant experience. A straight shot from a niche coffee shop that dials in their grand will produce a shot that varies naturally from nutty and earthy to fruity to a vast array of other tastes and textures.End of soap box.
Too expensive for the long wait. Its Star Bucks for the parents & grandparents of the kids who hang out at Star Bucks. Dont get me wrong... the veggie sandwiches are a work of art and the personnel are great but the coffes are too too expensive. The coffee quality is average but it is fun meditating on the front patio..prime real estate. And it is crowded on the patio. The patrons do spend the entire afternoon there. I should know since Im one. Haha thats the only the high school crowd csn afford the coffee. Thanks for listening. BTW Ive been there x3 for a full review. Ciaot
Super cute place in downtown Brighton, drinks seem pretty good. I liked the hot chocolate, pretty presentation! :) worker at cash register was SUPER friendly and enthusiastic!
Great place! Comfortable, clean, trendy, pleasant and helpful staff and absolutely the best coffee Ive had in YEARS! Try the Mexican or Ethiopian pour over... you wont be sorry!
I love that they have gluten free treats! Coffee is consistently delicious and very friendly service. Its a great spot for a work meeting.
Had the Romeo Sammy- the Ethiopian blueberry pour over- stupendous! Bought a bag of Mexican beans- also divine! Gorgeous space, great staff, stellar locale
Vert nice ambience, staff is helpful and their coffee is a good roast. However, they need to up their game and set themselves apart from every other coffee place in Livingston County. How? Staff needs to learn basic and advanced latte art for a beautiful finish every time. Also, their milk pour is full of bubbles and comes out as foam, rather than a fine, frothy finish with a texture of soft meringue. This takes practice but provides a superior cup of coffee and a memorable experience. All staff should attend a barista school and learn the tricks of good latte art. There are classes for certification around Michigan and/or many good You Tube videos to learn these tricks. Great location and nice addition to the downtown scene in Brighton.
Baked goods are good, coffee is just ok. Unfortunately, an older employee (the owners father maybe) had his mask around his neck.
Great place! They serve delicious food as well as their great coffee drinks! Very nice atmosphere inside and out
I stop in for coffee and food for my wife a couple times a week,she and I love the place. Great food and coffee plus the staff are always friendly and cheerful.
Great service, awesome coffee and some of the best baked treats in the area. Love how fresh everything is! Definitely one of our go to coffee destinations.
Stale muffins at a coffee house but atmosphere on point...
The coffee is great! Roasted perfectly and with care. And there is a pastry chef behind the counter!!!! Good ambience. Wonderful addition to Main Street.
My favorite place in Brighton
Pour over coffee is awesome
Great atmosphere, great coffee. Rewards program is rather underwhelming as you have one free drink to every 15 orders, even if those orders include multiple drinks from what I saw.
Went to watch Frozen Jr that was supposed to start at 6pm. 5 minutes before we were told itd start at 6:30pm. How do you kill time with two 4 year olds in a coffee house with sugar cookies the size of an oreo that cost $1.75? I asked how long the performance would be, and was assured 1 hour. Finally at 6:50pm it started and lasted 10 minutes (3 songs). No apologies given by management. It was a disorganized event. Very disappointed.
Great coffee. Enjoyed the concept of having theater. Got to enjoy listening to Civil War stories in the event I attended. Looking forward to future date events.
Coffee is fantastic!! Savory scone was SO YUMMY..very happy that you are open 😋..by far, my favorite place in Brighton 😎
Great coffee. Great people running the shop. Great atmosphere. Great wi-fi. The music nights are really well done with talented artists and a great sound system.
Very good selection of food and drinks.Nice patio to relax, refresh and view Mill Pond.
Absolutely beautiful building. Friendly baristas, and a great looking menu. A perfect place for a business meeting or casual date youd like to impress.
Nice local coffeehouse! Good treats and coffee!!!
Love the environment here! Its great to see the space being used for the community too. Open mic nights and live performances are options too, I look forward to going to one of those events.
My favorite coffee shop in Brighton. Very clean, warm atmosphere and welcoming staff.
Great service and the coffee was perfect! Plenty of tables so you dont feel crowded. Definitely recommend it if youre looking for something new!
This place has the nicest warm aura about it. The staff are very friendly and the food is outstanding along with the coffee. 10/10 would recommend.
Seemed like a very thought out place until I got to adding honey to my tea. The honey was from Gordon Food Service which was sourced from 4 different countries on 3 different continents. I now question the quality of the other ingredients.
Great atmosphere and awesome coffee! Pre covid we listened to live music while enjoying our espresso
Open with lots of space yet super cozy! Great views of the pond from the back room. Friendly and knowledgeable baristas. So happy to have stumbled in!
I love coming here for a chai tea latte during the week, but unfortunately they skimp on making them on their busier show nights. They are premade in a big carafe and just taste watered down and not even chai flavored. Its disappointing for someone like me who is a tea drinker, not a coffee drinker
Mediocre coffee at best. Not one staff member was wearing a mask correctly (under their noses). The woman I interpreted to be the manager or owner wasnt even pretending- no mask in sight.
Fantastic variety of food and drinks, great coffee, wonderful people, great atmosphere!!
Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, delicious coffee!
This place is always fantastic. Great atmosphere. Great coffee. Better and cheaper than Starbucks.
Great coffee and great service. Convenient location in Downtown Brighton.
Awesome atmosphere and service. My wife and I love coming here on the weekends for the live music. The menu is great too!
Friendly baristas, good espresso drinks, nice selection of food, both savory and sweet.
Great local place to come and hang out! The Mexican pour over is delicious and so is the decaf with almond milk! Thank you for the community spot with music and theater!
A very unique spot. Good selection of coffee and simple pastries. I would like to come back to see the theater portion in action!
I am a coffee regular kind of person but give the straight brew a try and you will be pleased. Ive also tried the espresso its spectacular.
Coffee is exceptional! Really quality! Thanks for having a great selection of plant based milk options. Awesome tea selection too
Pumpkin spice latte tasted like an actual homemade pumpkin pie. Amazing! Staff was super fun. Great vibe
I tried that Uganda dark roast pour over- it was so smooth I didnt even feel like I needed cream. Their way of doing pour-overs produces a taste with less bitter edge.
Very cute coffee shop inside a unique building. The Butterfly Matcha was amazing!
Its a beautiful location, the coffee is great, and the service is wonderful.I highly recommend stopping here if you have the chance.
Nice cosy environment with friendly staff and good coffee.
Wonderful staff, coffee is delicious, and there is always the nicest customer/crowd there! Our favorite place to get coffee.
This place is awesome, I love any coffee house that does a design with the creamer. Also, I like their open mic night every other Thursday.
Amy was so nice and made me a special vegan wrap to accommodate my diet! The almond milk latte was also delicious!
This place is so cool and there coffe and smoothies are the best, and they are so nice and generous!😁
Nice place. Very welcoming. Good croissants & coffee. Reminds me of my hometown local coffee shop.
Cozy environment, great coffee!
Drinks are delicious and staff is friendly. A nice atmosphere and great spot to cool off when its warm outside
My favorite place in Brighton to grab coffee or tea! A great study place, just check to make sure there isnt any events going on if youre looking for a quiet environment.
Love their special blend of coffee. My wife and I have been searching for this very same taste for over 14 years and found it at Brighton Coffee. Yipee!!!
Love coming here to meet friends. They have games for our little ones to play and we can catch up on life. Cant wait for our next gathering!
Cheerful service, cool atmosphere, calming outdoor views, I thank God for this place!
Really has amazing coffee! Didnt try any of the food but it looks like quality pastries.
Was in Brighton to meet some family and decided to come here after dinner. Delicious coffee and a great environment! It’s beautiful inside!
Me and my friend went here and there smoothies are great and they are so nice😎
Great atmosphere, good gathering place, lots of people there. Good tea! Didnt try the coffee.
Friendly, awesome coffee, great building...fresh coffee smell gets you the minute you step into the room!!
Visiting from out of town. Fantastic service, great coffee, casual atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!
This spot attracts people with fresh attitudes and ideas. Parking in downtown Brighton is a breeze. All this makes for a perfect morning meeting spot.
Wonderful latte!We will be back!!
Had a really great Hamlet sandwich! Nice outdoor seating option.
Lots of seating options and the staff is very friendly. They have a variety of drinks to try and the coffee is delicious!
I ordered something to try but did not enjoy it. The place was very nice and had a good spot for hanging out with friends.
Been in here several times mainly in the morning but not consistently. Always met with a warm hello and friendly discussion. Very inviting place.
Out door seating but no service outside. Would love to walk there with my dog and have coffee in the morning but the employee offered on the phone offered no resolution
Great atmosphere, lots of selections. Yummy mint mocha latte, not too heavy on the chocolate.
Asked to leave room for my creamer and they didnt. No where to dump and then I ended up spilling it. Coffee was just OK.
Good coffee and baked goods. The productions are a fun atmosphere.
Even tho its no longer Valentines Day, I ordered the special -- a Red Velvet Mocha. Yummy.
My daughter and I went there for a coffee this week. Great coffee,staff was friendly...we really enjoyed it
Great coffee, great food. Staff is very friendly and takes very good care of their customers.
Honestly the cutest coffee shop in Brighton! Also, great drinks and food!
I like the coffee, drinks and atmosphere and the fact that you can hang or do your computer work(if you dont mind doing it in a loud atmosphere). I do not like their prices or breakfast sandwiches.
Great new addition to downtown. Once they work through their growing pains and flow, they can spend many years as a thriving downtown business.
The service is friendly! The food and specialty coffees are delicious! I would highly recommend them.
I love this place. Amazing food and drinks as well as a cute atmosphere! Love love love
The BrightTown Coffee House & TheArtre was AMAZING..... I thought it was TruLy artistic and a genuine inspiration for those who appreciate a cozy and comfortable place to Enjoy hanging out or connecting with others.
A large coffee w one shot of espresso was $5 and change. Ridiculous
Very nice place. Great vegan muffin
Great experience. Super sweet staff and fun atmosphere. Thank you guys for a pleasant experience. I will be back!
The staff on Wednesday nights make the best hot chocolate and grilled cheese. Highly recommend
This place is amazing... I love love every drink I have ordered here!!!

2022-02-07Everything is incredible here. I love the building, the environment, the drinks, and the staff is awesome. The last few times I have been here, they are having a great time behind the counter and make you feel so welcome. There is also a back room that is quieter if you would like to go get some work done. Love it here! Great experiences every time 😊

2022-03-01My coworkers and I all agree this place is the BEST coffeehouse weve been to.The atmosphere is very cozy and well designed. I love the building and that it is also part of a theater. So unique. There are many nice places to sit and I love coming here just to study or journal or even get lost in thought for a bit.The food is wonderful. They sell more than just basic pastry things one would see at a lot of coffee shops if youre looking for more sustenance. That being said, their pastries are amazing. They also sell Vegan + Gluten Free muffins that are the best things Ive ever tasted... and Im not a sweets person.The coffee is also absolutely divine. Some of the best coffee Ive ever tasted. I could drink it plain because the flavor is so nice. Thankfully they sell bags of it too.If youre in town, a coffee or even a tea or smoothie from this place would definitely enrich your experience.

2021-08-27Great service! The lattes are pure art & the staff behind the counter made us feel right at home. I highly recommend a pour over if its your first time in. Im bias for a good mocha latte though! Either way you cant go wrong.

2021-12-30Cute coffee shop with salads, soups, and sandwiches, as well as a variety of hot and cold drinks. Service was reasonably quick considering how busy they were during the holiday rush.

2022-05-31This place drips friendliness and coziness. Hungry? The sandwiches here are nicely portioned and always delicious, - a good value. The variety of drinks here mean there should be something for everybody. The coffee has always tasted fresh and unburnt. When your order comes out, enjoy their seating area in the back right next to the Mill Pond if the weather is cooperating.

2022-03-11Fantastic coffee shop with many options for coffee and food. Their espresso and black coffee were phenomenal. They have a lively atmosphere and stay very populated but it’s an excellent place to study (if you can deal with some noise) or stay in to have a coffee. Great location right downtown Brighton. Excellent service as well!

The atmosphere is so calming and the restaurant is filled with cute seating and tables! I love all their drinks and food (especially the muffins) I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a place to study downtown or find a good place to eat or drink coffee.
