Our favorite local coffee shop! My husband and I frequent good sense. Each time we are greeted with a smile & a warm welcome. The barista Heather is the best and always recognizes us when we come in. They have a good variety of coffee selection to choose from with rotating seasonal flavors. We love the almond milk lattes in their big mugs. There is a nice area for you to sit and relax. The kids corner is perfect for little ones! A lot of time we come in to sit and work on our computers & it’s very welcoming to that. We also love that good sense is so involved with the community. Highly recommend giving them a visit!

Super kid friendly! This place not only has great coffee & lots of natural light, but also an amazing kid corner. They have books, games, toys, puzzles, a large table for coloring, & a chalk board. Perfect place for a mama coffee/play date ☕️

The iced chai latte and iced banana brown sugar latter were amazing. Get the sausage, egg, & cheese croissant. Made fresh and worth the wait. Amazing!

The warmth of this coffee spot is pronounced through and through! I had a latte on each of my two visits- vanilla bourbon and pumpkin spice. They were creamy, tasty, and drinkable by temperature! Exactly what I expected to find in a niche little town corner coffee shop! The pastries are amazing and the merch enticing! I’ll be back, on my monthly trips!

Good Sense Coffee is located right in the heart of downtown Howell. This place has an excellent atmosphere for a coffee joint. I got the ‘dirty’ Chai on ice with one of their spring flavors—honey lavender. It scratched the itch I had for chai & they put just the right amount of ice so that I feel like I got a full drink that wasn’t watered down. The service was great & there are a variety of comfy places to sit. Do some work on your laptop, chat with a friend or simply soak up a nice cross section of Howell alone & people watch the main strip from the cozy inside. I absolutely love this place!

We came here warming up while our children did their dance photos. This place is super cute, awesome comfy couch, and I was a barista for 5 years so I am very picky about my coffee… this was delicious! Tasted just like my favorite coffee stand in Idaho. Staff was so friendly! Thanks so much for an awesome place to hangout while doing photos. 😊

Super cute and modern place. Very clean and friendly. They even have a little book area and tables for the kiddos. The coffee ☕️ was very flavorful and full body. The place was super clean with a very open floor plan. They had a lot of food choices. I did not get anything.
