I love coffee shops, so I always get excited when I can try a new to me spot, like The Borough. I…read moredon't get to Allendale very often (maybe twice a year) so when I was heading to Grand Valley's campus for an event recently, I made sure to allow extra time to stop by. The parking lot in front is pretty small, and there is only one access point, so if you go past it, you'll have to turn around near the apartments behind it. Don't drive on the sidewalk... I didn't, mostly because there is a sign that says, "This is a sidewalk" which made me laugh. (Truly that should be an entrance into the parking lot!) The space is very bright and airy with cute decor and space to get some work or studying done. I was greeted right away when I walked in and I had a tough time deciding what to order. I wasn't hungry, but I love that they have a full on food menu - including salads, burgers(!!!), bagels, toasts, paninis, pastries, etc. Plus all the regular coffee items, boba, smoothies, and teas. I went with one of the seasonal specials, the banana bread matcha. It didn't take too long to come out and it was very tasty - not really what I was expecting, but I liked it. It reminded me of a very green banana (which is how I prefer bananas), it wasn't super sweet but also not super matcha-y. They are expanding their space, so I am interested in coming back to see what that looks like and to order more delicious drinks and try the food!

I stopped in about a month ago for a healthy breakfast option and enjoyed my cappuccino with cappuccino chip muffin, a bit of fruit garnish and the Signature quiche (basically an assortment of ham and veggies baked in egg with a crust). It tasted like they made it and like it hadn't been frozen and reheated like some establishments in the area. Everything tasted fine and I noted that it was well supported by the local community. Ample free parking out front and reasonable prices for a cafe. Very Hudsonville vibes, but it sufficed and I would eat here again.

I really want to love this coffee shop--but I'm torn. I've…read morebeen here several times and really want to support this location. It's in my community, right on my daily route, and I'm a big coffee & tea person. My first few visits were excellent, and I even purchased several gift cards for friends and family because I was excited to share it. However, I've experienced some recurring issues lately that make it harder to feel good about returning. For example: -The espresso was sour on a couple of visits (though I appreciated that it was addressed when I brought it up). -I once paid using the app in the drive-thru and was shocked when the employee took my phone to scan it and selected the maximum tip amount without asking me. -They updated their app recently, and no one mentioned it ahead of time. When I asked staff, they said they weren't sure on how to use it either. -The current process is clunky--you have to scan two separate codes (one for rewards, one to pay), and it's a hassle passing the phone back and forth. -The caprese sandwich I ordered was soggy and I felt it was just tossed in the bag. They were busy this day and I'm assuming it sat out before it got to me. -Most seasonal drinks are always sold out, which is a letdown when you're looking forward to trying something new. It's such a beautiful space, and the drive-thru is a huge plus. I've been to other locations of this same brand and had great service and food. Maybe this location just needs time to work out some kinks--but I hope they do, because I'd love to keep supporting them.

My wife and I came in on a late Saturday morning, my first time at Foxtail and her second. We…read morewaited about 5 minutes to place our order. I asked for a pour over and was told it would be a 30-minute wait - definitely not waiting 30 minutes for a coffee, so I opted for a chai tea latte instead. Our order consisted of two drinks and a breakfast sandwich. My wife had a $50 electronic gift card in the foxtail app that she was planning to use, when she asked the person ringing up the transaction how to use it, she had no idea how to access it for payment. Rather than hold up the line any longer, we skipped using the gift card and used another form of payment. After about a 10-minute wait, the breakfast sandwich was put on a plate and dropped off at the pick up area. I would have expected the drinks to come out at or at least near the same time, however after the sandwich sat there for a minute it two, I suggested my wife grab it and begin eating while it's still hot. Thankfully she did, as it took a few more minutes by the time our drinks were finally ready. The breakfast sandwich was decent, albeit really small, certainly not worth nearly $7. We normally get our coffee orders to go or use the drive-thru, we decided to dine in for a change - that was also a mistake. They have two seating areas, the main area was full and we didn't realize the "add-on" seating area is basically a 3-season room - an enclosed structure of mainly windows with some overhead heaters. After sitting out there for about 5 minutes, we decided to leave since our feet were freezing. As for the drinks, my wife said her latte was good; my chai tea latte on the other hand - nope! I've never had a chai tea latte hit the back of my throat so hard with a lingering irritation. I had to stop drinking it about half way through. Not a great first impression.

I love how they use their space to work with and uplift other local businesses. I often go to buy baked goods from Foliage and Flour as they are a retailer. The interior is actually really cute and each room has a slightly different vibe and really unique wallpaper. I definitely recommend coming here for a quick drink.

Options of in the sun or in the shade but beautiful set up inside is a little cozy as well, but can't pass up sitting outside on these beautiful days. Service is great. The gals kept checking in on us quite often and we're friendly throughout. This place is a step up to the bar and order type deal unique but I feel like it keeps everything efficient. The food was pretty good and came out fairly quick. I got nachos for the second day in a row the sauces and salsa were very tasty. I got extra southwest ranch on the side. They do cost a little extra, but it helped add some additional flavor. My only critique would be loading it up more by adding a queso cheese option or additional cut veggies, or jalapeños or guac, but not bad. They also have a very extensive drink less in their own seltzers and in-house stuff which makes it tough to decide what you really can't go wrong. Oh and I forgot we started with the cheese curds which were phenomenal. Definitely continue to look this place up and check it out if we're in the area and would recommend.

I go to this Meijer all the time and finally stopped for a coffee here. The menu is pretty generous, most anything you'd find at any big name coffee shop. Lots of syrup options for lattes or teas, and various smoothies and milk shakes on the menu. Looked like they offer some specials too as well as a small food menu. They have a small but fairly cozy seating area- nice for enjoying a speciality beverage while someone shops! I just got a coffee with pumpkin syrup in it, nothing fancy. But it was tasty and fresh! I'd definitely try this cute shop again.

This recently opened coffee shop replaced the Starbucks that used to be inside the Meijer store in…read moreGrandville, MI. It's a lot less polished than Starbucks and pretty bare-bones. The tables look like they came out of an old diner and the chairs are what you would expect to find in a bingo hall or American Legion. None of the furniture looks new and some of it looks pretty beat up. The coffee itself tasted pretty good but they don't have anywhere near the selection of ingredients and variations that Starbucks had. I don't order extravagant coffee drinks so I suppose that doesn't bother me too much personally. But if you're the type that orders coffee with a bunch of complicated ingredients and flavors and such then you're going to be disappointed. My wife, for example, can only drink decaf coffee and they don't offer that at all (which just seems stupid for a coffee shop). Honestly, I'm getting a little tired of the Starbucks coffee monopoly and all the excessive and ridiculous coffee customizations they offer, but if you're going to replace Starbucks in a locale that gets thousands of shoppers each day you really should bring your A-game and shoot to fill those big shoes. This is more like the coffee shop you would expect to find in a community college student lounge. The bottom line: if you are just looking for a quick basic coffee fix while you shop this will probably be adequate (unless you want something complicated or decaffeinated). Just don't get your hopes up too high.
