14 Best Cafes in Kalamazoo

Plaza Cafe and Market Cafe • $$

“We ate at Brick and Brine for our anniversary this year, because we knew they had good food and they were open on a Monday! I had lobster bisque as an appetizer which was delicious. I had the scallops which came on a risotto base with broccolini as a side. The giant scallops were cooked very well and were melt-in-you-mouth tender on the inside, but lightly crisped on the outside. My wife had the 14 oz tomahawk pork chop, which was massive, but cooked to medium and was delicious. We also ordered a side of fingerling potatoes, which are served family style and are sufficient for a party of 4 instead of 2. But that gave us enough to bring home a box of about 1/2 the pork chops as well as potatoes. Our service was good, but the only glitch was a rather lengthy gap between finishing our meal and the return of our waitress to check on dessert or after-dinner drinks. The prices seem rather high, but considering we got three meals out of the dinner, they were not out of range. We will be coming back!“

“Randomly passed by on Saturday and decided to stop in for a hot chocolate - we were in luck because they had a hot chocolate bar menu! I enjoyed the Turtle while my husband had a Mayan. We also ordered a Miracle cookie bar because they are my favorite cookie. This place took yum to a high level!Dietary restrictions: They have non-milk options.“

“My favorite coffee shop on the West Side! The Frank street location is also outstanding. Their homemade syrups are the BEST and their espresso is some of the best I've had. They don't upcharge for oat or almond milk which I love. The drinks are pretty pricey, around $7 for a 16oz iced latte, but it's worth it for the quality I would say.“

Warm and tasty. We didn’t get desserts because we had a birthday cake. Thank you for making our celebration so nice.“

“This location of Water Street Coffee is cozy and cute and a good spot to grab something to go. Nate and I stopped in for a coffee and a snack while in town recently. I love their options for food - they had breakfast and lunch items, some which are heated and some served cold, as well as a pastry case with plenty of sweet treats. I got the vegan black bean and sweet potato burrito and an oat milk latte, and Nate got an iced oatmeal cookie with a specialty drink. There isn't a lot of seating but we managed to grab a table. In warmer months they have outdoor seating too. Pay attention for when they yell out your drink order because it can be hard to hear from the seating area. (And as always, I really wish they'd take your name rather than just shouting the name of the drink!) The burrito was super hot and delicious. I loved that they toasted it! It was big enough to split for a mid-morning snack. I had some of the cookie as well and it was wonderful! Just sweet enough and chewy. Yum. I love a coffee shop that serves food, so I'll definitely be back to Water Street in the future. Note that their parking lot is tiny, so you may need to find nearby street parking.“

“NEW OWNERSHIP IS AMAZING! If you haven't been in since November 2023, you haven't experienced all the incredible changes! In addition to making ALL soups and deli salads FROM SCRATCH, they support and serve items from other local area businesses like Renzema's Bakery and Coffee Rescue! I was really impressed with the new owner and hearing of all the exciting improvements to come. Jess has a HUGE passion for serving fresh, high quality food--her excitement is contagious! Stop in and experience it all for yourself! YUM!!!“

“The sweetest experience I've ever had going through a drive-thru. The woman who took my order was incredibly friendly, thorough, and had a cute personality. I even turned to my wife and said "that was the smoothest order I've ever given" right after I ordered over the little speaker system thing. The coffee was incredibly yummy and well made.

“I’ve ordered delivery a few times (never been to the restaurant itself) and it’s been absolutely incredible every time! When they were closed on Monday, we decided not to order breakfast at all rather than ordering from another establishment! The prices, sizes, and quality are great. Highly recommend the omelettes and skillets! I love that I can build my own exactly how I like it without worrying about price gouging! My favorite breakfast place so far in Michigan!“
