My family and I were visiting Leland for a short weekend. We stumbled upon Madcap Coffee. It was the best experience! We have twin two year olds and they were super accommodating in helping make them their own "kid coffees". The experience and the great tasting coffee had me coming back two more times. Thank you!

Madcap Leland is by far the best coffee anywhere on the Leelanau Peninsula and likely throughout Northwest Lower Michigan. Their coffee is fantastic and prepared with such great care. Daniel, Talia, and DJ treat every customer so wonderfully. They’re friendly, engaging, and kind. I love getting a carefully prepared Americano and a treat for my puppy.

We were looking for good espresso after a week of tent camping and the Americano from Blue Boat Coffee was everything we were looking for. Expertly prepared, with a nice thick layer of the natural espresso crema, to warm the soul and delight the senses.

Great coffee, great team! There is no better coffee on the Leelanau Penninsula. It is a must visit. They have wonderful blends (recommend Special Origin Coffees) and will accommodate any request. They have limited hours in the colder months and open every day in high season. There is a wonderful place to sit outside during the summer and they are adding indoor seating for the colder months. They love dogs!

A sophisticated coffee shop in a small town is always a pleasure. The staff here know how to brew and pour a great cappuccino, and they have several specialties that are worth trying as well. Great energy and attitude.

Made an amazing latte and cherry lemonade, but forewarning the prices may seem steep to the average coffee goer.Service was at a leisure pace (which I did not mind at all) but conversating with the staff seemed laboring.Will absolutely try again and hope the experience is a tad bit more personal and homely next time. Overall, I loved the atmosphere and location.

This is a great cup of coffee (Mad Cap)! And baked good from Sisson’s. Quite the perfect combination.

I've been roasting my own coffee for 30 years, and had some experience with professional sensory evaluation of coffee, wine, beer, cigars and distilled spirits- and this is truly terrible coffee. Acidic, but lacking fruity/flowery or citrusy brightness, with vegetal undertones, it tastes like an over-extracted Central American coffee that's been over-roasted to cover defects.While I don't have a problem drinking stuff like this in the context of roughing it, or when the only coffee available is from a gas station in the middle of nowhere, my expectations for a $3.75 cup of coffee are that it's a decent quality bean and made correctly.Also, to mirror another reviewer's comments- interacting with the annoyed hipsters in the store regarding the online ordering requirement is less than pleasant. The online ordering requirement is fine- but the list of items for purchase isn't logically ordered or categorized, and it's not clear when ordering more than one of something (like two black coffees), how to specify one with cream and one black.That's not a big problem, right? But after one encounter with the annoyed hipster, I just didn't feel like another exchange before my first morning coffee.Bottom line: the coffee is less than mediocre, and you'll want to bring a little patience if you need to interact with the employees.

I’m Italian and I know what a good espresso is. This is super acidic. Wondering if from time to time they taste what they serve. And it’s 3.75$ for one shot. Sorry but nope.

Just left this establishment without making a purchase because the owner was very rude to two young women who were waiting for the coffees they purchased. They were looking through books that were at the establishment while waiting for their coffee and the owner asked, very loudly, "Are you going to purchase those books?" in a very rude tone while rolling her eyes at them. I was next in line after a lengthy wait and decided to walk out without ordering. Bummer for me since the coffee did smell awesome.

You have to place your order online which is fine, but there’s no information posted about ordering online or what WiFi to use. You just kind of wander around until somebody tells you what you’re supposed to do. I wanted to order some coffee beans, but some items are not listed to purchase. The employee wasn’t very helpful, just told me it was listed between two products on the menu. I didn’t bother asking for more help as they didn’t seem too thrilled to help out. Save your money.

Decent coffee but typical pricing arrogance of an upscale coffee shop. My only contention is that a small coffee shouldn't be slightly larger than a Dixie cup serving for $3.25. Give me a reasonable serving for fairness sake.

Blue Boat makes actually flavorful espresso and coffee drinks. Delicious scones and croissants as well! Would be a regular here if I lived around the area :)

While Blue Boat's Coffee is still decent, I miss the option of getting drip coffee. It used to be our favorite coffee place in Michigan, but with only drip coffee available, it is a good coffee joint, but not the best.

Best coffee in town! Also sell Sisson's baked goods! What's not to like?! Service is as quick as possible... given that sometimes they are very, very busy! I'll be back!on

From a distance, I thought this was a random Blue Bottle Coffee Shop (yes, from San Francisco lol). The logo is quite similar.Even if it’s not the SF coffee chain, Blue Boat is still a great place to stop for a cup of Madcap coffee or a great mocha during your time in Leland, as your walking through Fishtown and the local shops!

They know how to make great coffee at this sweet little place. Looking forward to the day they are back and hoping next summer we can enjoy normal coffee dates again.

Great coffee from Madcap. It is small inside but they have seating outside when the weather's nice. Good selection of baked goods and friendly service. Highly recommended!

Excellent coffee! Mostly Madcap. They're very precise and use great products. Cute space. Such an unexpected find and a local gem here in North Michigan!

Lots of Michigan products tucked back in a cute little square. The interior design is top notch, absolutely cute little spot. If I lived closer I'd come here every day!
