I already loved this store the first time I came in a couple of years ago, when I was visiting the area, but today takes the cake! The owner is friendly and introduced me to some regulars who were super nice! (And I'll fail to remember anyone's name, but that doesn't mean I won't remember YOU!) My Purple Rain was the cherry on top of a perfect afternoon, and I left with two kinds of loose leaf teas to try at home!
I will be back again and again! I love this place, definitely recommend!
This comfortable Lakeside tea shop will quickly become your favorite new place to grab a hot or cold beverage. Unique, organic and Non-GMO's ingredients. I received a wonderful education about Chai and had the most dreamy homemade chai tea latte. Prices are very reasonable.
My husband and I had a blast at BananaDog! The tea selection is immense and you have the opportunity to smell every single tea, blend, or tisane. I'm a gigantic tea lover and I was incredibly pleased with the options and ended up walking out with $30 in product! The owners are personable, fun, and knowledgeable. This is a "must do" if you love tea or are interested in tea - and if you don't know a lot or are completed clueless, Cindy and Diana will walk you through everything. They also stay current on tea trends and education which allowed them to bring a brand new product (discovered at the World Tea Expo 2017) into their store that I am in love with. And if tea isn't your thing they have treats in house and the chai smoothie is killer!
BananaDogStore is my favorite place to shop -- for Christmas, for birthdays and especially for myself!
Such a great selection of tea and wonderful people. Always willing to suggest something and always so kind and welcoming. I absolutely love this place.
I love this place! Refreshing drinks and a wonderful tea selection! The ladies who run it are so sweet too �
I am so happy I stopped in today! Not only bought some very yummy tea but had the best service! Thank you ☕️�
This is the best store ever and I love that they're in my community. Bdog is my home away from home, and I feel that I'm starting to become an addict! But only in a good way of course. Everyone should come here and invite your friends!
A wonderful local shop that caters to tea lovers....I went back two days in a row! Will definitely make this a required stop when visiting Muskegon. Their cold drinks were fantastic! I gave her business card to family members who asked me for Christmas gift ideas!
I was introduced to these delicious teas by a friend. I loved it so much, I just had to check this store out. Am I glad I did! The "Evening in Michigan" blend is AMAZING! They have a vast amount of tea cups with built in infusers that I am in love with as well. This will be my favorite spot from now on. SO many teas to try. So many cute gift choices. And the service was top notch.
Great selection of teas and accessories ;) will shop there again soon.
Stopped in today after visiting Gracie's. Absolutely loved the place! The owner is a wonderful lady who went above and beyond to help my friend and I pick out some interesting varieties of teas. Plus she makes a great Matcha Chai! Looking forward to my next visit!

My family and I have been regular customers for years. It isn't just the fresh, great blends of teas that bring us back, but also the "tea ladies" genuine love of what they do and their kindness to us all. Now that they are offering delicious smoothies, I will be in even more often!
My first visit to Banana Dog Store was delicious!! Loved the matcha latte! The owners were so gracious and fun! I will be back!!!
Wonderful tea and very knowledgeable ladies with all kinds of useful info
Great coffee and friendly service! Highly recommend this sweet little shop.
Recently reopened under new management, a wonderful and cozy feel. Delicious teas, and a new seating area so you can study or just hang out with friends.
Amazing place to hang out and enjoy tea! The fun part about unlimited samples is testing teas you’ve never even thought of trying before and learning more about them. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the teas and don’t hesitate to let you try as many as you want. When you purchase a drink they prepare it carefully so that you get the best tasting experience! The lounge is also very cozy. There’s spots where you can sit on your own and not be bothered and spots to hang out with people.
I’ve been going here since Banana Dog was opened, and as of recently, walking in and seeing different owners was a different vibe, and I honestly though I wouldn’t like it as much. But the new owners were some of the kindest, down to earth people with so much to talk about. It felt like I was a part of a little community that was out of a fairytale. And the tea is incredible. I highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for a nice little unwind from the stress of life
Such an underrated tea shop! I came by a few years ago in their smaller location but the current one is so spacious. A wonderful selection of artisan teas, plus their to go menu has a lot of options as well! The matcha lemonade my husband got was sweet and tangy. I really enjoyed my matcha latte as well. I also restocked on a few loose leaf varieties I love ☺️
I love this place. The drinks/smoothies are delicious and very fairly priced, the owners are friendly, and there is a great selection of packaged tea and tea related items for sale. I also really appreciate that they offer a selection of vegan snacks in addition to their other treats.
I love this place! Great selection of tea and the staff are just amazing. They're so helpful and sweet. Along with all of the great products they sell, they also sell and promote products from several other businesses in the area (Village Baker, Laughing Tree, etc). They have vegan and gluten free items. Delicious soups.
One word: FANTASTIC! The ladies here are so friendly. The shop is very cute. We ordered 50 shades of earl grey, matcha cider toddy, fresh pretzels, a chocolate banana muffin, and chocolate chip scone. All of it was so delicious! We will definitely visit when back in town. Come in and support this cute shop!
I am currently enjoying probably the best cup of Irish breakfast that I've ever had thanks to the advice of the staff here. Seriously if you like fancy teas or are new to the loose leaf game please do yourself a huge favor and give this place a look!
Most def will be back for a black tea latte one of these days
Love this place. The tea is delicious and unique. And they have a good variety for a small shop. It's very cute and the lady who works there was really nice. She didn't just stand there and watch you shop, she asked questions, figured out what you liked and didn't like and would point you in the right direction. Second time I've been there (I'm from out of state) and I will definitely come again. Drinking some of their tea while I'm writing this! Seriously, go to this shop!!
I could not recommend this place more! The ladies that work here (I didn’t catch their names!) were so sweet and made me one of the best teas I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back.
This place has a fantastic selection of loose leaf teas and ALL kinds of loose leaf tea accessories. Amazing mugs and strainers and teapots for the tea lover. They also make delicious tea drinks, smoothies and have baked good from the famous Village Baker. The sisters are very sweet and knowledgeable, always happy to help. It's adorable.
I have introduced three friends to Banana Dog's teas and they both LOVED it! The staff is incredibly friendly and always so helpful and knowledgeable about the tea they sell. They have a large variety of loose leaf teas and accessories to choose from, and anyone, tea connoisseurs or not, can find a tea they will love! Banana Dog is a local treasure and will forever be one of my favorite tea shops.
Banana Dog has been one of my favorite finds since moving to the Muskegon area. The selection of loose leaf tea is mind-blowing, the crafted drinks are delicious, and I can always count on being able to find a Gluten free and dairy free delight from Kind Crumbs there. Thank you!!
The service and selection are amazing!
The staff/owners there are very friendly, inviting and helpful. I would recommend Banana Dog to locals as well as those who are traveling through the Muskegon area.
In addition to teas and coffee, they have a little baked goods area where local vendors supply fresh-baked goodies - including vegan and gluten free snacks.
Such a treasure of a shop.
Fun place! Great staff/owner. They really know and love tea.
The staff is super awesome! Always helpful and very knowledgeable! Great place to pick up loose leaf tea and some coffee. In their new place they have seating to enjoy one of their many beverages! Highly recommended!
Best small business in Muskegon. These wonderful ladies sell amazing tea, tasty treats, and ALWAYS do it with a personal touch. I always feel more than welcome, but wanted, and that is so wonderful.
One of the finest lakeside establishments. Knowledgeable and friendly staff ensure that no one ever feels like a stranger. Bar seating and cozy wood decor make this a great place to relax while you refresh yourself with a selection from the expansive beverage menu. My personal favorites are the matcha lemonade and the Gen Mai Cha(green tea with toasted rice). Stop in and see the ladies running the joint next time you need a pick me up!
AMAZING SNACKS for my children while I was waiting for my ice coffee ☕️! The coffee is so delicious! Brewed too perfection! Great job ladies! Thank you for the hospitality!! My children say we should come again! I do believe they are correct! We will have to visit Muskegon again just to get some more gluten free snacks that they loved!
