Come here about 2 times a week. Everyone they hire (as far as I'm concerned) is polite and has great memory. Simply order your drink and/or food and go sit down... they bring it right to you-as long as it's not crazy busy. Coffee, lotus drinks, and food are all great. Nice place to come when you need some different scenery to work in. Prices for drinks average at $6.50 and is totally worth it when you think about the taste, atmosphere, and customer service. Glad I found this place. Will definitely continue to be a regular until I move out of Big Rapids.

I think this place is great for a special treat, but too expensive to make me a regular.

Love. Love. Love this place, people, and cozy vibes. The staff are welcoming and personable. The food is limited, but allows the team to focus on drinks and providing delicious sandwiches or waffles. I love bringing people here to meet and talk.The coffee is fantastic.I have not tried the lotus, but many young adults I know say it's really good.The prices are reasonable for a small-scale coffee shop and I love supporting business ventures like this in our community.Kid-friendliness: Welcoming place for young kids and toddlers (when they're not busy).Kid-friendly drinks include "iced"chocolate milk, hot chocolate, and non-caffinated teas and I'm sure the waffles are a big hit too.The couch is pretty cool!

My son and I stopped here for the first time. It was clean, quiet, and overall atmosphere was pleasant.However, we had never been there before or anywhere like it and stood there in a dumbfounded way trying to read and figure out the process.The staff working did not offer any help or engage with us at all. After figuring it out and getting what we wanted, the bowl is placed on a scale and you pay by weight.On a side note, the container weight also gets included in the final price. They do not reset the scale or "tare" the weight of your container. Not sure how much of an impact it has on your price but the bowl I had with very little toppings added, was over $9.00.So while there are plenty of delicious options of ice cream and toppings, this was definitely a one and done event for the both of us.

Toppings is such a fun spot. They have ice cream, and all of the toppings you could ever want. They have the coolest back room with coffee, baked goods, a great sitting area, and books/ board games. A very cool place to bring kids of all ages.Kid-friendliness: The perfect spot for the kids!

I stop here nearly every morning (other than Mondays— when I need y’all the most!!!!) as I work in Big Rapids. I’ve had meetings here for work and brought in people that have never thought about trying this place, people who never knew this place even existed. I have loved every drink I have ever gotten here, and the service has always been great 10/10. It’s cozy, welcoming, and you can tell everything is handmade. Highly recommend it here Dietary restrictions: Accommodating with different milk alternatives, and sugar free syrups.
