Forté Coffee

Forte Coffee Shop: A Flavorful Delight in beautiful downtown St. Joseph, MI

Forte Coffee Shop is a hidden gem, offering incredible caramel lattes, refreshing Louises, and invigorating iced Matcha lattes. From the rich aroma of their caramel latte to the smooth and creamy texture of their nitro cold brew Louise, and the vibrant green elixir of their iced Matcha latte, Forte is a must-visit for coffee lovers seeking a delightful and satisfying experience. They really know their coffee.

Absolutely the best experience ever! This was our first time coming to the shop & let me just say I’m hooked ! Anytime I’m visiting I’ll be stopping by. Young lady at helped me decide what to do, being my first time I didn’t quite know what to order & her recommendation was great! We actually stopped here twice on our weekend getaway. We’ll be back soon hopefully.

Knowledgeable and super friendly barista, quaint and cozy shop! Pastry and coffee was amazing! Wasn't sure what I wanted and the barista was able to help me choose the perfect drink! Definitely gonna be back!

🤍 My favorite things about this coffee shop were the tshirts and colors! My husband and I were visiting from out of town and trying a lot of the local coffee shops. They were out of the nitro cold brew, but the regular cold brew was 👍👍

The tshirts were so cute, with the sayings on the back! And I loved the dark moody colors, along with the upscale coffeehouse mood while still feeling cozy. It reminded us of our coffee shop back home-- the selection of flavors is impressive! 😍

Quite possibly the best coffee you’ve ever had. It was for Josie and I. We just happened to stop by while the owner was there and we received a history of coffee like never before. The place is amazing! Owner and staff really know their business. Great Find for us Hoosiers!

We were just here 15 minutes before close and the barista was very friendly and helpful. They recommended the lavender honey latte and it was spectacular! I look forward to being a returning customer :)

It must be noted that I have consumed half of the coffee in the photos, it did not come that way!

Had coffee here at least 4 times over our week long vacation! Coffee was great, atmosphere was friendly & over all it's a great spot to grab a coffee or stay & work for a bit. Will return for sure when we're back in town!

Great location for a cup of London Fog, and PLENTY of seating in the back of the shop. 😊

Excellent coffee and fantastic service! Baristas are always friendly for a chat and go out of their way to accommodate you. Occasional wait depending on the time of day, but I've never had an issue with it myself. Highly recommend!

This was our first time in Benton Harbor. The downtown is super cute and this cafe is no exception. This was a great cup of coffee and maybe the best scone of my life. Can't wait to come back.

Such an adorable coffee shop! I was downtown when it started pouring rain and my phone had died so thought I’d pop in for a latte and warm up. Upon walking in you’ll see the counter you order at and seating lining the windows with a cute little set up perfect for studying or remote work, they have some tables towards the back as well. The barista’s were so so helpful and kind! Hugo steamed my latte to perfection and Diana lent me a charger so I could charge my phone and call a ride home lmao. All in all would highly recommend checking out this gem downtown 🤩

Fun shop, good pick-me-up!

Great place to stop and grab a fresh cup of coffee downtown St Joseph. Drinks were amazing. Scone was great. Thanks

A perfect coffee shop to visit while in St. Joe's. The baked goods and coffee were very tasty, and the staff was friendly. They have dog treats and a water bowl for your four legged friends.

My son loved the chocolate pumpkin muffin and peppermint tea, and I enjoyed my Chai Latte. This location offers fun seating options that enable you to look out over State Street and watch the people and dogs going by, which my son enjoyed. They offer a variety of food options, teas, coffee, smoothies and juices, as well as seasonal specials.

This was one of the best coffee shops in the area! It has a good vibe, and the coffee and scones were amazing. If you're in the area, try it out you'll love it!

Beyond happy we stumbled upon this place! We just needed a place with wifi to stop quick and finish a meeting on the road, but we will be coming back again and again for perfectly mixed lattes, breves strong enough to make your brain buzz, and the BEST scones (I recommend the cinnamon) along with all of this they have all gender bathrooms, pride flags welcoming you at the door, and unequalled customer service, if I could give higher than 5 stars I absolutely would!!

I got a really good London fog, and my sister got a pumpkin latte, which was apparently her favorite pumpkin-flavored latte she's ever gotten! Great service, good atmosphere, good drinks, I'd definitely recommend it :D

Cute corner coffee shop to stop in for a refreshing drink!

So excited for this new coffee shop. They have delicious vegan options (oat milk, almond milk, soy milk and coconut milk). And they have vegan granola.

It’s a lovely coffee shop, great coffee. And they clearly have a heart for animals with their cute logo, options to donate to the humane society and more.

Stoked to see what other vegan options they come up with!
