Dead River Coffee Roasters

This coffee was SO good and super strong. I got a mocha- it was great. Two people came in to buy coffee beans while I was there

Getting to drink coffee and watch more get roasted is pretty great. Cozy atmosphere. Fun and quirky decor to look at while you sip your coffee. Americanos are great.

We just happened to pass by exploring downtown and popped in for a coffee and hot cocoa. My daughter got a hot cocoa and thought it was delightful. She was happy she could drink it almost right away, it was hot but not scolding. I got a cold brew with vanilla and um, wow! I drank the whole thing!!! It was my first time having one and I am sold! My husband got a vanilla mocha and we were a happy family!

I really enjoyed our visit here! This place is so special, definitely the coolest coffee shop I've ever been to! Loved the vibe! Happened upon a really fun cribbage game which only added to the ambiance. The smell of fresh roasted coffee beans, music playing lightly in the background and lots of things to look at. I love the sound the coffee roaster makes, would be a great noise to sleep to 😊

As far as the coffee, delicious! I also tried the 906 summer blend tea and loved that as well! This place will always be on my list of places to visit when I go back to Marquette. It will always have a special place in my memory. Thanks for bringing the passion for coffee (and life) to Marquette! True artisans in their craft. Stop in and take a step back in time and taste life!

I did post a short video of the roaster in action 🥰

was gifted a bag of beans by a friend from Marquette :) total game changer — strong, delicious, balanced flavor. now considering buying our beans from out of state!!

Omg!!! The people here are so nice!!! The barista was super nice and the older gentlemen was funny and hopefully after the nice lady and I told the barista about Muriel’s Wedding she’ll watch it!!! I got some beautiful roasted dark coffee beans from Nicaragua. And the guy really knows his coffee!!! He also gave me a dead river mask which I love and also get those dark chocolate expresso beans😛. They also made me trip unforgettable by telling me to go see the black rocks which are 1.7 billion years old. It was my first walk outside since being severely sick for two months with covid. I had an incredible time and I really can’t thank you guys enough. After all the things that happen last year to start this year off with so many beauty moments I’m just really full of gratitude. Thanks so much guys and hope to see you guys again. 🥰

I recently visited Dead River Coffee Roasters and ordered a hot cappuccino, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Stopped by here to get a drink and beans while visiting the UP. The employee who helped us was so friendly and the drinks / beans were delicious!

Went for a cold brew, they were out, but the barista helped a brother out and did an iced latte. Such a cute lil place in mqt. We’ll be back.

This was very cozy and relaxing . The lemon pastry just melted in my mouth and the chai latte was amazing . The service was very friendly and being 7 hours from home it helped coming to a family owned place ..

Best coffee in the UP. They grind on site and sell whole/ground coffee. I tried their in-house made vanilla syrup in my coffee and it was SO good.

The cutest little coffee shop in Marquette. You’ll get an old timey feel, super friendly staff and the smell of fresh roasting coffee beans.

Didn't get food, but got coffee! The coffee is amazing. Awesome spot to look at a grounding machine. Friendly staff.

I got black coffee here and it was flavorful, nice sourness, and not harsh. Had a taste like it was brewed with care and not a mass produced large brewer. My gf got an iced vanilla latte and enjoyed it a lot as well. They also had a picture of the Dalai Lama with a cup of their coffee which was pretty cool - he was probably moving his kid into Northern Michigan 😉 7.5/10.

Dead River Coffee Roasters is, to my estimation and thorough local experience, the best Marquette (and I might even argue greater Michigan) has to offer. Sloan and her amazing staff of wonderfully talented and friendly individuals, treat you like a friend of the family each time you're in. The coffee is to die for and if you're a home brewer, it's the best supply of beans (completely roasted in house, with a multitude of variety) you will ever find. A pound of Dead River is a pound of pure delight, no matter how you take it; black, flat white, a little razzle dazzle, or something off the wall entirely, Dead River Coffee Roasters has what you need. Pure Delight.

Amazing coffee and hospitality! The cold brew was top-notch. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Loved the coffee beans for sale here. Was just visiting the area, but I will be back when I can! I received a free cup of coffee with the purchase of beans. I'm pretty sure the owner was helping me themselves, and they were super pleasant and made the perfect amount of small talk.

Purchased some delicious single origin coffee beans for my V60. I also received a batch brew coffee with my beans which was beautiful. This is a great place to get coffee in Marquette.

I've been coming to Dead River and enjoying their coffee as long as I can remember. The coffee is consistently good and this is one of the first places I encountered single origin roasts (what a door that opened for me) Cozy, friendly staff across the years, and just enough menu options to satisfy coffee and tea cravings of all sorts without going over board. I like too how they sell higher-end brewing equipment like chemex

Location is ideal,plenty of parking and excellent quality of coffee. Staff have always been very courteous,competent and non-discriminate. It has a very pleasant atmosphere with informative booklets guides and maps. If I were on a road trip in the Marquette area I definitely wouldn't hesitate to bring the whole family along to the Dead River Cafe.
