NautiMi on the River is a little slice of paradise in the Pinckney area. Located at the top of the chain of lakes, this little shop on the river is a year-round destination for shopping, a sweet treat, delicious coffee, and eating from your favorite local food trucks.

The iconic river location is off the Huron River, where docks are ready to tie up your boat for a refreshing treat.

To give your day a caffeine kick, try the coffee, espresso, and tea creations like the Nauti Frappe, classic espresso and affogatos, and boba tea. Other unique drinks include the Nauti Refresher, which has strawberry or pineapple/coconut flavors.

The store has a variety of Michigan-made apparel, jewelry, art, home decor, and more. You can order your treat and grab more towels, sunscreen, and maybe even a trinket for the road.
