“I've been wanting to try this place since it opened in 2020 but haven't had the chance until now and it is so good! They have a wide selection of shakes, juices, teas and more. I got the Oreo shake and it had 24 grams of protein plus was super tasty. Perfect for a post workout snack/meal. They order both vegan and whey proteins too. There is a new owner and he is extremely nice--he let me come in to order even though they were closed. The store is decorated very cute too with trendy seating and decorations. Would highly recommend!“
“Our family loves Coffee Clubhouse! We have been members here for a few months now and make weekly visits. We love having a safe, clean, and fun place to play. They do such a great job at re-arranging the space, rotating toys, and always keeping this space exciting and never overwhelming! We drive 25 minutes every week to keep this wonderful space a part of our weekly routine❤️ We also love the punchcard member perks! Thanks for such a wonderful space for my kiddos to play, and this mama to relax with a cup of delicious coffee! (The only thing I wish they did offer is reusable Coffee Clubhouse tumblers that I could have filled instead of putting hot coffee in a plastic coated cup, but that’s just a personal preference)“
“I love coming to pursuit of happiness! Their staff is always welcoming, bubbly, and knowledgeable. The cocktails and toasts keep me coming back every time. The atmosphere there is very fitting for East Town. If you’re looking for a new go to spot, this is it!“
“The Chicken sausage tater tot casserole and the BLT w cheese were both amazing! I also tried the iced con meil to drink, FABULOUS!!! You should try it! The service was incredible too! Alondra was our server and we would request her again. We also had a visit from Manager Charlotte, she was fun and funny and very engaging! Top notch breakfast this morning from the time we walked in until the time we walked out! Thank you!!!“
“I attended an event at the Last Mile Cafe, which was my first visit. Over two hours, I observed the owners' dedication. The excellent service, inviting atmosphere, and superb coffee stood out. It's evident they are deeply integrated into the community. This cafe is more than just a business; it represents support for something greater. They give back in a manner reminiscent of bygone days. Watching the owners engage with customers was truly heartwarming. In the future, I am committed to going the extra mile to support these individuals. It's something everyone ought to consider!“
“Omg one of the best coffee places! I always love how much peanut butter they put on my bagel and their coffees never disappoint especially for someone who doesn’t like the super strong coffee flavor they make it on the sweet side and even through a delivery service they always make it consistently and correctly! You can’t beat the prices either!“
“This is the second time we’ve visited here! The first was last October when we were fueling up for the half marathon in Grand Rapids. On Saturday we visited and tried some new things that we haven’t had before. We ate about half the menu the first visit (all of which were amazing), and the second visit did not disappoint. The menu is fantastic and there’s something for everyone. The coffee menu is also good! The atmosphere is comfortable and unique. We live a couple hours away and would definitely make the trip again just to visit this place.“
“delicious latte and matcha, not sure how i felt about the fruity espresso but maybe I will try a different drink next time! The salted caramel was also not my favorite but the vibes in here were SOOO cute and I definitely will be coming back to try a different drink that I may enjoy more and also something hot!! Perfect atmosphere great for meetings or studying and I love the merchandise stovetop sells! Seems like a top quality roaster with great knowledge of the coffee world!Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian/vegan snacks and also lattes available as vegetarian or vegan“
“Every visit is a good one, welcoming, friendly, quick service. Samples for menu items I haven't tried was a very nice gesture ( iced teas and coffees are SO good. ) Everything is very fresh every time I have come in. Will be back soon, Thank you! I recommend.“
“So so SO good!! We knew we were in for a treat as soon as we opened the door and could smell what they were preparing. We had the family combo and it was perfect for two very hungry people. Everything on it was delicious and it was the perfect mix of spicy and mild dishes. I have never enjoyed collard greens before, but I ate so much of them here! And the women working took great care of us. They're very good at accomodating dietary restrictions. They made me gluten-free injera! And many dishes are vegan. We can't wait to come back!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options galore :)Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and can recommend kid-friendly options (mild dishes). My little one enjoyed injera, too!Wheelchair accessibility: We had no issues rolling a stroller in and out of the restaurant. There's a ramp from outside to get in.“
“Casual, chatty vibes with good music playing. Service was good (nothing exceptional). It gets busy during brunch time (but if there is a wait, you can comfortably be indoors while you do). The kitchen line is visible from dining area and you will smell like it if you sit near it.Overall the food was enjoyable. Party tried the empanadas, traditional breakfast, and an omelette with chicken sausage. The breakfast potatoes were old (they must cook in batches and not refresh before serving) but everything else was tasty. The homemade jam is really yummy. They have a lot of options for coffee, mimosas, and Bloody Marys. (They do charge a 3% “fee” added to every bill.) There is a parking lot behind the restaurant but it can fill up quick.“
“the best coffee i've had so far. me and my partner have been here quite a few times, and every single time the service is impeccable and the coffee is amazing. they are open late, and are down the street from the college so it does get quite busy; but it's never too busy or loud. we've always been able to find seating and hangout until our order is done.“
“I just went to Sparrows Coffee Shop for the first time. It is such a cool vibe. The baristas were super friendly. I'm not a coffee drinker but they have a good selection of hot teas. It is connected to Kingma's on Plainfield. I would highly recommend checking this place out!!“
“The food is phenomenal and the milk tea Boba that I got was affordable and delicious. My only complaint is that the dumplings we ordered were very well done, borderline burnt. Would reccomend a visit! I would also suggest that if you have a food allergy you double check with the staff in regards to what's in each dish.“
“Schuil Coffee has quickly become my favorite spot in Grand Rapids for not only its exceptional drinks but also its affordability. The iced coconut latte, which is my go-to, is simply amazing and priced at a reasonable $5.83 for a 20-ounce specialty latte. What's even better is that they don't charge extra for oat milk, unlike some other coffee shops.Aside from the great drinks and prices, the staff at Schuil Coffee are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The girls working there always greet you with a smile and create a warm atmosphere that makes each visit a pleasure.The coffee shop itself is also thoughtfully designed with plenty of seating available, making it easy to find a cozy corner to work or catch up with friends. The aesthetics of the place add to the overall experience, making it a delightful place to spend time.Whether you're looking for a delicious and affordable coffee drink, a welcoming atmosphere, or a place to be productive, Schuil Coffee ticks all the boxes. I highly recommend giving them a visit if you're in the area.“
“My colleagues and I recently had an incredible time, and we couldn't have been more impressed with the one staff member who was working that day. He was an absolute pro - focused on safety, and extremely knowledgeable about everything related to axe throwing.He provided excellent instructions on technique and form, making sure everyone was comfortable and had the right tools. He also made sure that we were all having a great time and enjoying the experience. It was clear that he was passionate about his job and wanted to make sure we had the best possible experience.“
“Hands down the best coffee shop in West Michigan! Possibly the best coffee shop on the planet! I usually come about 3 times per week and all of the staff greet me by name every time I come in. Staff are all super friendly! The coffee is great (especially their pour overs)! The bagels and spreads are straight fire!10/10 would reccomend!“
“I live in Atlanta, GA and participated in a Roggae Coffee/Tea swap (think gift gremlin, secret Santa, etc. but with other coffee and tea lovers throughout the US). My gifter is from MI and sent me these two teas. Let me just tell you that they are so good! It's pollen season right now and the blueberry tea with the elderberries is a great way to fight the sniffles. Of and the warming crimson berry is like no tea that I have ever had before. I'm so glad that I got to try your teas!“
“Lots of options and AMAZING customer service. Brought the whole family to try the tea, breeze drinks and sweet treats, everything was great! The location is clean, adorable decorations and they honestly had the most friendly staff who were patient, kind, and took time to answer our questions and explain the different options. We drove almost 30 minutes to stop in and it was worth it! No Photo: Tiramisu Treasure Cake & Oreo Cheese Milk Tea.“
“Van’s felt like stepping back in time a bit, but in a good way. Service was quick and friendly, and there were a lot of tasty treats to choose from. I bought several items to go including an apple fritter, and old fashioned plain donut, an almond tart, and a date cookie. Everything was delicious and rich. I definitely highly recommend Van’s as a bakery for pastries and other sweets.“
“Craig is an artist, both coffee and the store design ! The place is absolutely stunning ! He has a great knowledge on coffee and it is the home of ‘ Saturday Coffee Experience ‘ . Their coffee can also be found in the Fulton street market. Their Dark roast Pour over is very good. Yet to try their signature Red Eye espresso blend.Please encourage local businesses ?? especially the ones with a lot of passion & commitment.“
“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.“
“i have always loved the bitter end. great products and atmosphere. this place has been at the forefront of my grand rapids experience since moved here 5 years ago. the family running this place is so kind!! also the bottled coldbrew is my fave!!“
“They changed the name from Sparrows to Scorpion Heart, I'm not sure why. Anyhow, this is a nice little coffee shop with a hipster vibe. The vibe is cozy to do some work, read, or study. The music is chill and set at a good volume. In addition to being a coffee shop, they also sell trinkets like cards, mugs, candles, accessories, and vinyl records. They have various specialty lattes. I love the beautiful latte art. Friendly service. I can see why it's a favorite in the area.“
“We were on a road trip from northern Michigan and made our yearly stop in the gorgeous Holland, Michigan. I'm a sucker for the cute downtown, full of delicious cafes, cherry shops, clothing stores, and knick knack shops. We made a quick macaron stop and popped in to grab a champagne macaron before we left. The ladies working were super friendly and the store was very cute. I savored that single macaron for as long as I could and it made the road trip that much better.“
“I will definitely come back here. The atmosphere was fun, hip, and large. Our server was very sweet and great! I'm GF and I appreciated how much they had for me on the menu. So many options! The food was so good and eclectic. We came on a Saturday later in the day around brunch time and it was busy so be prepared to possibly wait. But it's worth it!“
“Seriously the most indulgent tasting shakes and teas that are both visually appealing and (luckily) healthy! Thank you for the opportunity to sip a cup cookie dough without guilt. Easy to accommodate for dairy free options and highly recommend all the dessert shakes. Also some of the best customer service ever, the owner is radiant and a true joy to chat with each visit.“
“What a delightful morning we had at Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented perfectly by the friendly baristas who made us feel right at home. As we settled in by the window, the serene ambiance enveloped us, setting the stage for a perfect start to our Saturday. Tyler's choice of the Chia Latte was spot-on, and my Mocha was as delicious as always. The spacious seating area on the lower level provided ample room for us to relax and enjoy our drinks without feeling cramped. Every sip was accompanied by smiles and good conversation, making us wish we could linger there all day. If you're looking for a coffee shop that combines top-notch brews with a welcoming vibe and fantastic service, look no further than Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge.“
“Very friendly service. I ordered a Hot chocolate and they took the time to make it look (and taste) amazing. I wasn't expecting that. Plenty of space to prepare for my work day. Very relaxing atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps and plenty of door width“
“I enjoyed a delicious oat milk latte and a snickerdoodle cookie. My son had a kids hot chocolate. Friendly staff, warm and inviting atmosphere and tasty drinks. Everything you’d want in your neighborhood coffee shop! Can’t wait to try the cocktails!“
“I had an amazing experience at Cafe Bar Mahala. The Julius Meinl coffee was exquisite, boasting a rich and nuanced flavor that delighted my taste buds. The cozy atmosphere of the cafe bar added to the enjoyment, creating a perfect setting to savor the delightful beverage. The combination of great-tasting Julius Meinl and the inviting ambiance made my visit to Mahala truly memorable.“
“Had a wonderful brunch today with family. As a person who is allergic to tree nuts, sesame and gluten this brunch was amazing. So nice to go out and enjoy the menu of healthy choices with great flavor. I had the Mountie on gluten free bread. So delicious. We will definitely be back again!“
“I love everything about this place. The coffee was the best I've had since being in Grand Rapids, the atmosphere was amazing, and they had a huge variety of souvenirs for purchase. Most of the cats were very sweet and cuddly, and some weren't, but that's just cats for ya. Absolutely coming back and would highly recommend to any cat lovers or coffee lovers.“
“The Chicken sausage tater tot casserole and the BLT w cheese were both amazing! I also tried the iced con meil to drink, FABULOUS!!! You should try it! The service was incredible too! Alondra was our server and we would request her again. We also had a visit from Manager Charlotte, she was fun and funny and very engaging! Top notch breakfast this morning from the time we walked in until the time we walked out! Thank you!!!“
“Took a long walk today from the Aquinas College area to try out a new coffee shop. New to me that is. Had an Americano and it was excellent. Great friendly service, nice atmosphere. Definitely can recommend them for good coffee and awesome service.“
“The inside was very cute and had a very nice ambiance. The lady who took my drink was a shorter lady with glasses I believe but she was very welcoming and friendly. Didn't take long to place my order at all. The guy who made my drink was also very friendly (I talked with him when I saw the tapioca was more golden and he explained it tastes the same just theirs has more of a golden hue. He was correct albeit it tasted a little sweeter to me but I thoroughly enjoyed it)They had these special honey drinks that looked good but I did not get to try one because I was in a bit of a rush . I just got what I typically get from bubble tea places which is a taro milk tea with tapioca. I'm not from Michigan and was just visiting and had a hankering for a bubble tea and the first place I went was a dud so I didn't know what to expect coming here but they did not disappoint! My drink was delicious and had a good amount of tapioca too! That golden brown tapioca they have made it even better! Definitely top 10 taro milk tea I have had and the ambiance while waiting just added to my enjoyment!Parking: I'm not from here but I didn't see anywhere to park not on the street and it was really just one or 2 blocks that had parking in the vicinity. I did have to circle the block twice to find a park.“
“Service 10/10Food 9.9/10Our server, Gavin, was amazing. He was awesome to chat with and answered our questions before we even asked them! And the food was some of the best we've had. If we didn't live so far, we'd be regulars!“
“I have nothing but good things to say about Madcap, and I love raving to my Michigan friends on how Madcap came to fruition in Grand Rapids. The baristas here are efficient but always create high-quality work. You can tell that they care about each cup of coffee they make. Their craft is also very impressive, as many of the baristas here are involved in various competitions around the country. My favorites on the menu are just a classic latte, an iced vanilla latte, and the matcha, too! Their seasonal drinks are always fun to try out as well, I always look forward to their spin on the classic "Pumpkin Spice Latte" in the Fall.“
“Great food at a decent price but the service can be a tad inconsistent. Usually good to great service but I've noticed that things fall through the cracks when they get slammed. Nevertheless, Westsider is still one of my favorite breakfast spots in Grand Rapids. Plenty of vegetarian options which is always a plus!“
“Great little spot for a coffee and to do some work. It's a cute cube, bright with plants. They had specials for Valentine's Day, I tried the vanilla strawberry matcha latte which was quite good. My partner had their brewed coffee which comes with refills and he enjoyed it. Barista was sweet and helpful and recommended some baked goods as well. Definitely would return!“
“I can't say enough good things about Cafe Boba! Absolutely love their milk tea and original boba. Everything tastes homemade and delicious. I especially look forward to their Sakura milk tea in the spring and wish they had it year round! Their little cakes are also sooooo good. Wish they would change out the flavors more. The dumplings are delicious also. Such a great atmosphere to enjoy a tea and/or snack with a friend! I wish they were open later during the week.“
“I have been to this place a few times in the past, probably eight years ago and earlier. I loved their sweets then. I decided to visit again today with a friend. I showed her the main picture of the cafe on Google maps to lure her with me. We were quite disappointed when we got to the place. The picture was nowhere close to what they offered now. It would not have mattered if they had those desserts anyways. There was no seating available inside since most tables were 4-person tables occupied by one person each. It looks as if they don't seem to want more customers. They can accommodate more people by converting some of their large tables to one or two-person tables.“
“This place was super fun for my 2 year old. Couple thing a I didn’t like.. 1. Not a good selection for snacks on the menu & 2. Bathroom was gross. You have to take your shoes off once you enter (makes sense) but in the bathroom there was pee all over the floor by the toilet & on the toilet. Maybe someone needs to hold a key and hand it out when requested.“
“Ordered the breakfast sandwich with avocado, mayo, and egg with a side of potatoes. The bread, avocado and potatoes were very tasty. However the egg is not good at all. It is a weird texture because it seems to be a fake egg which is not what is advertised. It threw off the texture and taste of the rest of the sandwich which is disappointing because everything else was very good including the coffee. Would visit again but not for breakfast food.“
“Stopped on my way through Grand Rapids. I own a coffee shop so I asked for something that I couldn't get anywhere else. Had the recommended French Vietnamese Au Lait and a cinnamon scone. The scone was a little crumbly, but buttery and dense. The Vietnamese Au Lait was not overly sweet, but rather had the right amount of bite. What a beautiful dessert case. Definitely.Will make this a stop on future trips north.“
“Cute cafe w/ delicious coffee!! Lots of options for coffee & non-coffee drinks. Just took my coffee to-go, but it was quite the hoppin' place for seated guests! They also have an amazing ministry, employing disabled workers. Service was great as well!“
“Very cosy atmosphere in this little coffee shop / home store. The decor is alluring which is the main reason I wanted to check this spot out. Pros: Amazing service, good drinks and eclectic ambiance.Cons: very small coffee shop area, limited but good seating (and the tables are labelled for those with tablets or computers to sit in one designated area - and no phone calls or meetings allowed in the coffee shop space). This would be a good place to stop for a coffee and chat with a friend, but not an ideal working space.“
“This place has such good tea bombs! They taste amazing and give you a burst of energy. They have tons of Tea and shake options. My daughter and I go here several times a week. We love this place. The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful when you have questions. I highly recommend.“
“They really care about their customers and making sure we are satisfied. I had an issue and Ni really went above and beyond to make it up to me, and for that I'm so grateful. It really made my day. I can tell this business really cares about providing the best service, experience, and quality for their customers. They are really doing their best and are always open to making everyone's experience better if there are any issues. I truly recommend them. I commend them for their care and kindness as well. The drinks are VERY delicious, and that's a bonus to the great customer service, I'm so glad I found out about them and I will continue to visit ( :“
“This is one of the cutest Starbucks I've ever visited. When I walked in all three baristas gave me such a friendly welcome and we all had a lovely chat about the historical building (so sad I didn't think to snap a photo before I left, the facade is gorgeous and the little terrace adorable) and a good natured laugh at my partner still being afraid to order for himself after 14 years. The orders were correct and timely, and overall just such a nice experience in such a small and cute Starbucks location.“
