I love that Populace has vegan & gluten free options such as bagels, cream cheese, & desserts! The workers have always been really kind & the atmosphere is cozy. Populace is also connected with the community. My favorite coffee shop in the area!Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options!
Such a gem. The light and airy space is complemented perfectly by the inventive and interesting coffee selections. The modern-antique blend is fun and welcoming in a way that you discover new parts of the shop as you move through it. This shop would be a gem in any city in America—Bay City is super lucky!

Populace is fantastic. Staff are great, coffee is good, food is good. If there's lice music things can get kinda loud, but thats expected.

I was able to sit comfortably and join in on my meetings, all while enjoying the friendly atmosphere with good coffee. Customer service was great.
It's been a long time since I've had coffee here but it's really good. There are several good coffee shops in Bay City and it blows Starbucks out of the water so avoid them and go to a small town local coffee shop and support small business.

Probably the best coffee I’ve ever had! Great place to stop and work or chill if you have time! Definitely get the bagels!

Great friendly service, delicious pumpkin chai. I'm here on a business trip and was delighted to find prepackaged vegan lunch options that I could put in a sack lunch.

I always support local, but entering the establishment the girl was very unwelcoming, unfriendly, just rude. Not how I’d like to start my day. Kind of tossed my bagels in front of me without saying a single word. Am I all set? Thank you? Have a nice day? I did tip. Hope she has a better day.

Great people, great coffee and underrated bakery. Love the bagels, specialty items and seasonal drinks. Highly recommend the "Chai-der" and the "Fall Classic"
Good food
