50 Best Coffee Shops near East Grand Rapids

“Barista Helen wished me a happy “28” birthday with a candle on my cup too! Great customer service! Great pour over! Went great with my birthday cake!“

“It has the best atmosphere to bring your child to just have a cup of coffee or tea and relax while they play! We had our grandson’s 2nd birthday party there and it was the best experience !“

“Great location for a meetup. Good coffees.“

“I recommend everything! This is like finding a rare gold coin in your pocket change, or a Monet at the Salvation Army thrift store. Or stepping into Paris from the sidewalk in southeast Grand Rapids. Go slowly! Each nibble fills you with bright, exotic sensations. We go for the scones, cookies and madeleines. Today we tried the financiers, ginger passion fruit and s’more. Yes, it’s a fusion of French and American, but it’s how they’d do it in Paris.“

“We visited for the first time the other day and absolutely adored it!!! Delicious and wonderful drinks and I LOVE that a portion of my tea went to a wonderful cause ❤️ We bought some coffee beans to take home with us and it’s amazing! Thank you so much!“

“Absolutely love their coffee and tea! It’s a totally different experience and I can’t tell you why. It just works for me!“

“This was such a fun little activity for the day. The cats are great to play with while enjoying a beverage or snack. Great place to come and relax/get some feline therapy. I also love that it allows people to meet the cat in an environment they are fairly comfortable in before adopting. Definitely would recommend visiting!“

“Great stop in if you love coffee, been recommending this place for years to anyone and everyone and they are my go-to for beans when I’m in town. The Saturday experience speaks for itself - hard to beat free coffee, and I love trying the new blends and single origins they put out. The new location looks great! Plenty of seating inside, the ambiance is just right and they have records for sale in the back now as well. Parking out front or near neighboring buildings, just look for the bright blue door.

This is the place that turned me back onto black coffee ✌️“

“Finding a business owner in Byron Center that also is affirming, supporting and accepting of others especially those within the LGTBQIA community isn't easy. We are definitely few and far between. However I am proud to know Peter Van de Roovaart with Full Circle Coffee and I was very glad to see him join our Pride event at Break Room Therapy. Peter, and all of Full Circle Coffee staff, are caring people and their Coffee is great too. Thank you Peter not only for your support of our business, our event & also for the community!! Anyone wanting a supportive place for coffee please consider Full Circle!“

“There is everything to love about this homey, eclectic coffee shop. From the delicious offerings of teas and coffees and even tasty gluten free sweets, there is something for everyone. Also a great place to pick up a gift handmade by a local artisan.“

“Phenomenal lattes, and the owner is so friendly and community-driven. We are definitely lucky to have this cafe on the west side!“

“I don’t go downtown often, but if I do it’s to get a vanilla oatmilk latte from Lantern. Hands down best coffee in GR.“

“I had a vegan mocha with oat milk. Service was fast and friendly, and the baristas knew what was vegan and what wasn't, which is always a plus! :)

The atmosphere is very cozy and cute, the coffee was well made. Not too sweet for a mocha (nicely blended), and the roast on the espresso was very tasty!“

“I moved out of Grand Rapids 10 years ago and have missed my seafoam from Sweetlands! imagine my surprise when I found out they will ship it! I just got my 2 lbs of seafoam today (1 milk chocolate. and 1 dark chocolate.) It came fast and in perfect condition and it tastes oh so good!!! The best!“

“Such a wonderful shop ! Amazing people !! Keep up the great work !!“

“Our favorite coffee place when we're running errands around 28th St. I'm not a coffee drinker, but they make a wonderful London Fog, with a Lavender option, at that. Much better than I've gotten at any other chain or local shops. My husband enjoys their coffee options, especially the mochas and their house blend. Always friendly staff, clean and welcoming atmosphere.“

“I enjoy Bolt and order it delivery to NC. it is my favorite coffee! I brew it every weekend for my family.“

“So delightful! The ambiance, the staff, the mission, the coffee. Truly in love! 🩷“

“Kava kasa is a magical portal. Go there your life will never be the same. Trust me.“

“Incredible fun for our 3 year-old. Sooooo many different toys. Tasty espresso drinks (and I'm picky). Priced well. Owner is an angel - I thought I'd have to yank my little man out during a really bad tantrum, and she was able to take him aside and calm him.“

“My first visit to Scooters Coffee, and it was sweet! I asked for a recommendation and was given a sugar-free turtle latte. Best!! Fabulous service!“

“The art alone is worth the trip, add to that the lavender honey latte with an extra shot!??!? Yes, please!“

“Best boba EVER!!!! 😍🔥 Def recommend!! So yummy“

“I purchased Morning Star and Columbia coffee beans from them. They are amazing. I am a coffee snob so I wasn’t expecting much. I was absolutely proven wrong. I will be purchasing them again. Keep doing what you are doing!“

“I really love the vibe here! I wish the barista knew that you can’t leave shots sit for a long time…it actually makes the coffee bitter:-( Hopefully they read this and understand that it truly messes with the flavor.“

“After buying Den Blend online a few times over the last couple years, finally got the opportunity to visit Ferris in person. Super friendly staff, really welcoming environment, and everything fairly priced. Able to buy Den Blend's collectors tin and a bag, and get a fresh cup of it to-go. Thanks Ferris!“

“Love this little hidden gem! The vibes are cozy & the pastries are delicious, not to mention the customer service is great!“

“Best coffee the service was great and I really enjoyed the outside sitting“

“Whenever we go by, we stop. The staff is personable and attentive, the coffee and teas are great, and we especially enjoy the treats. It is not the sterile, mispronounce your name, too hip to be pleasant vibe that many other shops have.“

“Visited your Cafe yesterday and loved it. Very nice and welcoming. I had the best hot chocolate ever.“

“My hats off to the 2 young ladies who were working today.
I ordered a mocha frappuccino. I know that's not what it's called at biggby , I've ordered them throughout West Michigan, and it was the best one i've ever tasted.“

“Service was great and quick, but the drink was wrong and I did not find out until it was too late to do anything.“

“Excellent fellowship for kids, Moms/Dads, grandparents (me) or Nanny’s. Coffee, cold brews, muffins, bagels, healthy snacks for kids! Everything from dinos, farm play, super hero’s , train table, climbing structure, magnetic tiles. She rotates toys as well. Check them out 💙💙“

“A super cute quick stop for coffee. I thought my breakfast sandwich (croissant egg, ham, and cheese.) and it was quite yummy! My mom didn’t like hers though (English mucfin) so we wouldn’t get that again.

I can tell the syrups for the coffee are homemade, I really enjoyed my vanilla caramel cold brew and my iced vanilla latte!“

“The people who work here are amazing the music they play and they try to get to know you ❤️“

“My son just graduated from high school and wanted donuts at his graduation party. I decided to order from Phoenix Rising and I am so glad I did!! The ordering was easy and they were super friendly to work with. I ordered 15 dozen in addition to donut holes. They were delicious and beautiful. They gave us a large variety and it was all ready on time. I am so happy we ordered from here. Couldn’t be happier with the process. We definitely found our new donut place.“

“We hired Jam'nBean to set up a coffee bar at our son's wedding reception in Holland and it was awesome! From making the arrangements to set up and service, everything was amazing. Doug was super helpful helping us figure out what would work best, and he was there himself to help serve our guests. The coffee bar was a total hit at the reception and their service was top notch. The drinks were delicious and the personalized stamp on the cups was an unexpected and wonderful touch. We had so many comments from our guests who loved the coffee and thought it was such a great idea. We highly recommend Doug and his crew if you need coffee at an event. Thanks so much for helping to make our son's wedding reception extra special!!
