Can't say enough good things about this place. I do business in the area and it's perfect for meeting clients. Clean atmosphere and excellent service.

I have been coming here since I found them in October last year and I love coming to The Stray. It is definitely one of my favorites, if not my favorite, coffee shop in GR. Even though I am moving, I'll be taking the extra time to drive here before work whenever I can.The coffee is delicious and the staff are always welcoming.

Starting with the food:The Ultimate Breakfast club is AMAZING! It is a delicious egg (tower of egg, in a good way!), lettuce, choice of bacon or sausage (I'm biased towards the bacon ?), cheese cream with chives, and a chose of hot or zesty sauce. I only have chose the hot, which has a big kick! Highly recommend it! It's not a small sandwich ?, it's tall and delicious! (Forgot to take a photo, but you HAVE to see it!)My favorite drink? The London Fog! A Earl Grey latte that's warms the souls.The music varies, it could be over the speakers or they have nights of live music! It's very calm in here, and just feels cozy. The theme is music, coffee, and warm tones. If you're looking for a nice place for a first date, friends meeting, or just to relax, this is the place!Parking: While there isn't a lot of parking, you can always park in the road, or park down the road and have a short walk. There is parking around the building, possibly 17-20 spots max?

Great coffee and a fun atmosphere! The price was reasonable too! There was also a ton of space which was a pleasure surprise! You didn't feel like you were sitting in the lap of a stranger like you do at most Starbucks locations.

This place was a gem to find! Truly loved the buffalo chicken and the presentation was immaculate. Hot chocolate was a bit bland but again presentation was still very cool. Young crowd, good music, lovely venue, and a kind owner. This is the kind of place you go to and hope they just continue to get better and better. Would for sure recommend.

This spot is worth visiting for its atmosphere alone. That being said the coffee and food are also both delicious which makes this a must go to place if you're looking for a cozy spot to caffeinate and ease your mind. We came by on a cold windy day as a snow storm was rolling in and it was exactly the reprieve we needed before hunkering down with this good ol' seasonal depression. I recommend checking it out.

This place is fabulous, particularly if you appreciate music and art in a classy but non-pretentious environment.Enjoyed my first visit on a Tuesday late morning after taking a family member to the GR airport. My lavender honey latte was perfectly prepared and I enjoyed an incredible slice of quiche.There was an artist quietly painting on the platform, great music, plenty of cozy seating as well as a bar and table seating with ample outlets for those needing to log some work.Also cocktails/adult beverages for the afternoon or those with the “it’s 5 ‘o clock somewhere” mentality.I noticed they have live music completion every Saturday in March. If I lived closer, I’d certainly enjoy that. Can’t wait until my next opportunity to get to GR for another visit at this lovely spot!Ample parking, nice staff, and cozy feeling. Everything I could hope for in a great coffeeshop!
Excellent coffee and food in a nice atmosphere. A great place to meet a friend for conversation.

I can't stop recommending this place to folks. Staff are friendly and kind, drinks and food are tasty with fun seasonal options, atmosphere is cool with art and wares from local makers, and you can often catch live music and painting.
