I have always wanted to open a coffee house since I was 18. Being able to bring the community together and to serve great coffee and have a place where you could just relax and take a moment for yourself was what I wanted to be able to bring to Lake Orion. Great space for meetings, study groups, showers, or just to read a good book.

Good coffee. Good atmosphere. Not expensive. I go there all the time to study with my friends. I choose this place over the Starbucks down the road any day of the week.

Came in to study before my exam and this place is quiet decent.
Just wanted to give it a try since I live not to far from here. But I got the White Mocha espresso and it was pretty bland. Nothing special with the drink I got.
It’s getting a 3 star because the workers are super friendly, the place is clean but it’s not the environment isn’t a type of coffee place I would enjoy staying in.

The friendliest coffee shop in town. My favorite right now is the herbal teas. I also use Crates for hosting large group and individual meetings. Andrea and Brian are awesome owners and are community driven. Newest to their menu is Cook’s Ice Cream, yum!

I’ve never had something here I don’t like. The coffee and iced drinks are perfect. They even offer loose leaf tea. The owners are wonderful people that allow individuals from the community to take up space for meeting’s, and are always very accommodating. All of the workers are great people. I heart crates.

Coffee was good, they have breakfast items and price was reasonable! Interior isn’t coffee shop cozy but it is spacious and enough from for study or work.

I came here in the past with a friend and enjoyed every second of my time here. We both got the house cappuccino. I love the feel, and I enjoy crimson coffee! They seem to do everything right, and I’m looking forward to coming back!

We stopped in here on a Saturday around 5 pm after being stuck in the snow, so it was a refreshing atmosphere. It was not busy. Seems like a good place to go if you need to get out of the house and get some work done. Or to play games (which they provide) over coffee house beverages.
They, refreshingly, offer loose leaf teas. Even though I wasn’t a big fan of the one I got, if I’m ever in the area I would try them again!

Best coffee shop for miles. Owners allow community events, networking, and discounts for students.

Love Crates! I stopped in on a whim one morning on my way to work, they were so friendly I have returned repeatedly and now have gotten to know the entire staff. I also think I should point out that the owner recently won the Lake Orion Entrepeneur of the Year award!

I can’t say enough good things about Crates. They have such a wide coffee selection that I have ordered something new each visit. This is a great place to meet someone for a coffee meeting. The atmosphere is relaxed and their location is large enough that you can have a private conversation without feeling like the table next to you is hearing everything. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their products… I highly recommend Crates Coffee!

Have only been here twice, but both times I was greeted by a couple of friendly youths who seem to enjoy working here. :) And they’re very knowledgeable about both the coffee drinks and the scrumptious-​looking pastries. I’m afflicted with an over-​active propensity to consume pastries at every opportunity. Crates selection is tasty, tasty and are a perfect match for my cappuccino.

Love this place and the people. Owned and operated by locals, perfect way to get off the big corporate Starbucks habit and support locals! My whole family loves it better anyway, (my daughter is hooked on their Hot Chocolate Freeze!)

I stopped in on a mad search for non-​starbucks. Just delicious. Wonderfully sweet gals working the counter. This place is huge! Not a ton of tables or couches for the space, but I can see it growing. I had Jungle Love (how could I not?), their darkest roast and french pressed to goodness. The bathroom was clean and a perfect pit stop after the 2 cups I drank while sitting in I-​75 traffic. I will be a regular when I head in that direction for my only client 2 hours north of there.

My friend Karen was raving about this place. She posted on her Facebook and told me I absolutely had to try it. Well I finally did and now I know why this is going to be the hit coffee spot in Lake Orion. Great people and good place to have meetings. Thanks crates. I’ll be back.
