The frequent updates to their coffee menu keep the offerings fresh, making each visit an exciting experience.

But Superior Cafe isn’t just about coffee. Their selection of donuts and baked goods is tantalizing, making it an ideal stop for breakfast. A customer, Greg Kimball, recalls a quick breakfast complimented by warm, tasty donuts. And if you’re looking for something savory, you can’t go wrong with their freshly made sandwiches— a favorite highlighted by other guests.

Don’t overlook their non-coffee beverages either, which range from refreshing smoothies like the Yooper Sunrise to soothing brewed teas. With prices starting as low as $1.50 for their Superior Soda, there’s something for everyone.

I recently visited the Superior Cafe at 215 W Portage Ave, in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. I went there for a quick breakfast before I hit the road again. They offered a large selection of donuts and other assorted baked goods. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick and efficient. The cafe was very clean and modern looking in appearance. I enjoyed the artwork on the walls as well.

One of the many gems of downtown Sault Sainte Marie! The coffee is great and they update their coffee menu frequently with new stuff. All of the employees there are super friendly. The seats near the windows are perfect for catching up with friends or people watching. My friends and I spend hours there everytime we go. 10/10 place!

We didn't get food here but had some coffee. We had the white chocolate mocha frappe and mocha frappe. Both were really good, almost quality coffee's. The only downside was the amount of ice chunks I had in mine, and with the little straws, it made it hard to drink. Inside was cozy and the staff was very friendly.

Great sandwich, very fresh and tasty! Very clean, fast service, professional staff and good environment to get a quick bite and relax.

Delicious breakfast pasty! Somehow they’re able to make decaf coffee taste good. Fun, lively atmosphere. I’ve noticed low reviews due to baristas having fun with each other. Really? C’mon, it’s good for people to have fun at work! Happy people make great products.

Delicious and affordable smoothies! Very friendly staff. Multi-grain bread. The blonde woman who appears to be the owner was one of the nicest people we interacted with on our trip. She was efficient, friendly, and accommodating. We’ll be back!

For a school project I needed to review a cafe, so I went to Superior Cafe. The food is so good!! The environment is friendly and welcoming. Their service is fast, especially for how busy it was. They offer great parking and free wifi for customers. Lots of space to do homework and study. All in all, I definitely will be coming back as it was a great experience! Thank you!
