The best way to start your Brighton Howell Area adventure is with a cup of joe. Luckily, the area is full of locally owned coffee shops offering a welcoming feel and delicious coffee, teas, pastries, and cocktails. On your next stop through the Brighton Howell area, forget about those big-name coffee shops and check out these unique spots.
Brighton Coffeehouse and Theater
📍: Brighton


If you have a passion for rare and unusual coffee – Brighton Coffeehouse and Theater is the place for you. This updated bank building turned coffeehouse utilizes international coffee beans that are ground daily and uniquely roasted to bring out the most intense flavors. Fresh coffee beans put the coffeehouse in this downtown location and live music and open mic nights fill the Theater.
Black Iron Coffee Roasters
📍: Howell


In the heart of downtown Howell, Black Iron Coffee Roasters believes that “life is short, drink good coffee.” That’s why this couple-owned business specializes in roasting quality, small-batch artisan coffee. When you need your next cup of joe, head to this beloved spot to take in the homely atmosphere filled with locals, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind handcrafted drink.
Thread Creek Coffee
📍: Hartland

Indulge in a hand-crafted hot beverage from Thread Creek Coffee and do some good. How? 100% of all Thread Creek earnings go to fight against human trafficking at the Nepal/India border. Next time you need a pick me up, choose from the most popular menu items like Cinnamon Toast Latte, London Fog, or a Chai Tea Latte.
Torch 180
📍: Fowlerville

Torch 180, unlike your typical cafe and coffee shop, offers students with disabilities the chance to master everything from taking orders to food preparation. You’re welcomed with open arms and a bright smile when you enter the doors here. Let the staff here make you a delicious drink and bite to eat!
A quick trip to the coffee shop might be what you need to start the day. Here in the Brighton Howell Area, we have multiple options for a visitor to indulge in their favorite caffeinated drink. On your next adventure in the area, remember to tag @explorebrightonhowellarea and use #ExploreBHA for a chance to be featured!
