We have been getting our beans from Craig for years and love to support his business. Be sure to stop into his shop and experience all the space has to offer!“

“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!“

“Stovetop is my favorite coffee roaster, and this is one of my favorite coffee shops. On this visit, I got a bagel sandwich and an espresso. The bagel sandwich was delectable, and this is only one of a few places in Grand Rapids that I can stomach the espresso, much less enjoy it. All this to say Stovetop continues to impress at every level: drink, food, service, and atmosphere.“

His attentive service truly made the visit stand out. The atmosphere is inviting and well-suited for both small gatherings and larger groups, offering a comfortable space to relax or connect. Another big plus is the ample parking available, making it convenient for everyone. Overall, Mahala Coffee is a place I highly recommend—for the quality, the environment, and especially the outstanding service from Batsi.“

“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.“

“Just had our kids 21st birthday at San Chez and what a great experience! Kudos to our lovely wait staff and a special shout out to Jess who looked after us beautifully and could not have been nicer! She helped us pick an excellent assortment of dishes for our party of 11, the food came out at exactly the right moments, and we all got to try things on the menu that were interesting and delicious. Thanks for a great evening, Jess and San Chez!“

“Honestly, I love this place! I go to Ferris almost every day. Not only is their quality and variety of coffee beans really great, their menu is great too and they're always trying new ideas with their drinks and food! Ferris also provides a great space to work and have meetings as there are meeting rooms available. The staff: Jake, Sarah, and Justine are all great and are always there when you need help!“

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

“This is a really intriguing coffee and ice cream shop. The coffee shop is not open as long as the ice cream shop. I think it closes most days around 2 or 3.
They have a lot of seating inside and outside with a whole deck up the side of the hill that is covered and looks like it's for events. We stopped here after dropping off family at the airport before driving 2 hours home. It gave my toddler a chance to run around outside while I got coffee. We also enjoyed one of their homemade organic blueberry muffins and it was so delicious.“

“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“

“Excellent assorted specialty coffees. The flat bread pizza was surprisingly good as well. Staff were all above and beyond in their service. Truly wonderful addition to Grand Rapids and Alger Heights.“

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

“Frequently meet friends and have some of the best brunch in the city. Always busy but for a reason, and the service and hospitality which are already top notch, do not suffer. An example of this is when they bring you your food they remember who ordered which plate. This is one of those underrated hospitality things they do that other establishments don’t reach. I will always be back :)“

“Great staff! Great coffee ☕️! A large Homeless presence which calls for compassion! it's not Biggby problem. etc, etc, etc...“

“This is one of my favorite spots in Grand Rapids. Chateau is a wine bar with curated selections of wine and food. While it might not have the most wine options, it definitely has something for everyone including cocktails and mocktails. The atmosphere is very moody and romantic, with dim lights and mid century modern decor. If you’re looking for a cute date night spot or a girls night out, highly recommend. We had two glasses of red wine, two glasses of white, the oysters, caviar and chips, and the charcuterie board. Everything was outstanding, especially the caviar.“

“Tasty macarons and very knowledgeable staff!! Highly recommend. She gave amazing suggestions.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Van’s Pastry Shoppe is one of the best local bakeries in Grand Rapids. The owners are incredibly friendly, everything is made fresh daily, and the donuts, pastries, and cookies are amazing. The shop has a really welcoming old-school feel, and the unique cookie jars throughout the store make it a fun place to visit. You can tell they care about quality and their customers. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Grand Rapids and looking for fresh baked goods and great service!“

“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.“

“I stopped at the coffee shop a couple of weeks ago while visiting OAM and really enjoyed the iced carmel latte! Very cute place and the staff were friendly :)“

“The staff today, around 10:30 am, were dealing with a very difficult Karen/Ken customer. They handled it incredibly well. Despite dealing with him they kept their composure and continued to help other customers. Thank you to all of you dealing with that situation!“
