19 Best Cafes in Kalamazoo

“I went there for brunch with my girls this past weekend and it was an absolute delight the food was phenomenal and the drinks were great and the atmosphere was so good we will definitely be back!“

“Only the Best place to eat in kzoo.!!!“

“We stopped at the Summer Thyme Cafe for lunch on our way to Lake Michigan. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting with little booths and tables for dining in. The menu has a great variety of salads and sandwiches, so it was hard to decide what to order! I chose the Chicken Pecan salad, and it was delicious. Everything was so fresh; the serving size was generous but not overwhelming. My husband had the Cobb salad, and it was very good too. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The cafe is conveniently located about 0.5 miles from the highway-easy on/easy off. I would definitely recommend this cute little cafe for lunch and look forward to stopping there again when I'm passing through Kalamazoo. PS-the desserts looked amazing! Fresh pies,cake, bars etc. [We're trying to avoid sweets so we didn't partake-but it was tempting].

Vegetarian options: You can get salads without the protein.“

“I told my wife it has been far too a long time since we've been to Poor Richards! The food is every but as good as I remembered, my burger was excellent, and my daughter's breakfast burrito was excellent too. The sausage gravy is on point!“

“I Like it here everything was smooth when the old owner had owned the company but there have been good new things that came along with the new owner with the expansion of the menu, but the biggest downfall to where I’m starting not to want to come is because every time there is always something different with the recipes. The recipes are not consistent. one day I might like something and get the same thing the next day and it’ll be completely different. For example The cajun gumbo I had recently has usually a thick consistency but the recent time that I just got it, it was really brothy/water and I did not enjoy it. Things will be better if they can be consistent with their recipes and how it’s being made until then I might just have to stay away..“

“Everything here is perfect… the coffee, the breakfast items, sandwiches, desserts, the display, the staff. I always stop by when I am in town.“

“The best place downtown to get coffee. amazing atmosphere with their indoor greenhouse, awesome pastries and fresh bagels made every day. They also have homemade soup often including home grown ingredients.“

“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!“

“Healthy food friendly staff and clean spacious environment great prices too“

“Wonderful people welcome you upon entering! The quiche with freshly picked ramps was AMAZING! Eating outside on the quaint deck just added to the wonderful ambiance. A must try for anyone in Baraboo!“

“My favorite coffee shop(s) in town. Love the atmosphere at all of them - especially the bookstore. The downtown location seems to struggle with food preparation time - I have waited 10 - 15 minutes more than once for a bagel with cream cheese. Both times I was in a bit of a hurry so that doesn’t help. I highly recommend - and will likely stop trying to dash in downtown.“

“Quality and delicious. Will be returning.“

“I don’t like doing one stars anymore. If someone has that bad of a opinion nobody forced you to go here . A lot of people crying over prices. Again nobody made you buy here . But on the other hand everything I ate wasn’t very fresh. To eat the French toast you need a cup of water to dip it in . Way to hard . I got hash here and was like rocks . The slushes are the best . But nice little snack area. Only thing two employees was talking and I walked up stood there for 30 seconds and they still didn’t say anything. So I said excuse me . Still nothing. So I walked away . They then tried to help me and I said nvm pay attention to your customers. With all this I still give a 5 star. Because it helps a manager talk to these people to fix the issues. If you complain about the price and give a one star , just seems crazy . Also with COVID I think they should clean the tables. Couldn’t find one clean table and they just stood there for most part“

“Top notch customer service from everyone that works here! Maddie is such a sweetheart, willing to go above and beyond for the customers. I have always loved this biggby and recommend it to anyone I know!“

“Kyla and Kyli were super friendly and made our group great drinks!!“

“Everything here is perfect… the coffee, the breakfast items, sandwiches, desserts, the display, the staff. I always stop by when I am in town.“

“Love their salads & WOW the Broccoi Cheese soup is Sooo good! Atmosphere is great for a group or a couple!!

Parking: They have handicapped parking spots & just regularTheir in a strip mall so the parking is whoever gets it 1st. I've never had a problem.“

“Fantastic food and great portions. Great place to start your day. Tori and staff are awesome.“

“I order my coffee on the Bigby App so that I can cut my wait time down. I still have to wait inside because they never have more than one person making drinks and can never make a bagel in under 25 minutes. Ridiculous.“
