This place has my heart Water Street is cozy, elegant,…read moreclassy , and beautifully designed, the decor is absolutely charming and instantly makes you feel at relaxed and content. The staff are always kind and welcoming, with warm smiles that add such a lovely touch to the experience. My absolute favorites are the Sleeping Bear Mocha and the Sleeping Bear Hot Chocolate , "truly signature drinks and honestly addictive!!" I keep coming back just for them, and I've never found anything quite like them anywhere else. Their food options are unique and always served warm when you order. I also adore that they offer tea pots when you order tea such a cozy, thoughtful detail that makes the experience feel extra special They have cute mugs and teas available for purchase, perfect for taking a little piece of the café home. Prices are similar to Starbucks, but the quality and atmosphere feel much more special. I love that they introduce seasonal drinks, right now they have a delicious mocha and a pecan drink that feel perfect for the season. They also serve chai lattes, which is very important to me wherever I go, and theirs is lovely. They even have an app that sometimes offers rewards and little perks, which is always a nice surprise. (My only wish is) that they extend their hours until 9 or 10 PM . it would make this cozy spot even more perfect. Overall, this is one of my favorite coffee spots. Warm, comforting, and always a pleasure I highly recommend it and they have my full yelpy support :)

NEW!! I am so excited about the Midtown Coffee Cafe, located near the deli in the Midtown Fresh…read moregrocery store. It is located in a long, sunny extension of the store, facing the parking lot. The large windows let in a lot of sun, which is quite pleasing in winter. The menu is extensive, offering both coffees and teas, as well as YUMMY-looking baked goods. Coffee goodness: you can have either chemex or drip, espresso beverages, and chai latte, vegan hot cocoa, and a matcha latte. Soy or almond milk is available for those wishing for non-dairy options. They source Kalamazoo Coffee Company beans. The special beverages this week include a brown sugar cinnamon latte, and the uber-scrumptious cardamom maple latte. The place was bustling when I went in today! There are several four-top tables, and then a long window bar with high perch stools. I don't love that it is in a grocery store, but this part of town definitely needed a coffee shop. :) I love Kalamazoo's coffee culture, and am happy to see our newest coffee shop. YAY!

Water Street Coffee has some amazing coffee blends, especially the French Roast and Italian Roast,…read morewhich they occasionally brew. They brew the French Roast regularly on the WMU campus. Its a really nice full bodied medium every day blend. The reason I gave this 3 stars is because often when I get a coffee to go from Water Street, I have to pick between a really fruity super light roast, or a dark roast that taste like I am drinking sludge. It would be nice if they would could have an every day offering (medium regular roast) that is not super light or super dark. I have ended up throwing out several of my cups of coffee lately because I couldn't drink the Midnight Oil, and the light roasts were meh, with a really fruity after taste. This is just my opinion, but I think many others would enjoy an offering of a daily medium roast with a smooth finish.
