Don't bother going anywhere else for coffee if you're near Ionia, Sozo's should be your first and…read moreonly stop. I've been to a lot of coffee shops in nearby cities and big cities around the country and Sozo's is just as good if not better than any I've visited. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the environment is really laid back, with lots of space to sit and work or meet with friends, coworkers, or classmates. They source their own beans, and make their own baked goods in house. I'll often order their drip cause it's so good, but I also love their pour over, the Nutty Irishman, or just a plain Cortado. And I always keep their beans on hand for home. Please visit, enjoy, and support Rodney and Mindy and this small/local business!

When I moved to Ionia from GR over a year ago, I was worried that Biggby was my only option... I…read morewas so relieved to find Sozo. This is a real coffee lovers heaven. The staff is consistently friendly and fast, the baked goods are always bangin, and the atmosphere is super cozy. And the prices are very fair. This place is miles above any of the GR coffee shops I loved in every way. 10/10

I chose to check this place because we love trying coffee shops, and it was a gift shop too. Hospitality. Super friendly and accommodating. Some tables inside at front, more in back, and one table outdoor Offerings. Standard coffee shop and upscale gift shop with Michigan made and vendors. There were unique gifts for entertaining, kitchen, stationery, and whimsy things. From the barista counter, we got an iced mocha and drip coffee. The condiment station had mini moos, but the barista offfered to give me real cream from a local dairy, Moo-ville Creamery. Good cream with the delicious coffee, Jamaicain Me Crazy. We also got an apple danish and egg bite. Sadly, they forgot the whip for the mocha, and heat the food items. Thankfully they fixed the issues when I brought it to their attention.

Eggs, perfectly cooked, biscuits and gravy, sausage, sandwiches, all hand made fresh. Specials from around the world change everyday if you are a more adventurous diner. On weekends they serve artisan pizza, not gas station greasy, as good as Chicago or Detroit, and other specials from their outdoor smoker. The atmosphere is green, peaceful and country, surrounded by a farm. The service is personal and not rushed. It has a drive through but its charm is meant to be absorbed at a Croton pace. Sit down, watch the hummingbirds, hear the donkeys bray in the distance. Enjoy great food, maybe even listen to some acoustic live music. There is only one of these in the world. Do yourself a favor, experience something unique and delicious in a setting that is blissful.

I also wanted a nice place to hang out and write. Evelyn Bay far exceeded my expectations. It doesn't look like much from outside, but inside is a very cool old space, very open and airy with very high ceilings, hardwood floors, a gorgeous tin ceiling, and an eclectic mix of furniture, local crafts, and art. The people working there are quite nice. There are a variety of fresh brewed coffees. I asked for the dark roast, which was actually a very tasty medium-bodied coffee. I judge this a triumph in Charlotte, where most people seem to prefer their coffee pretty bland. I also had a delicious bran muffin. I didn't try the expresso drinks. There's free wifi, which seems to be pretty fast. (I'm writing this at the restaurant.)

Besides coffee, they have wine, beer, pop, and kambucha. I got the masala chai, which was nice and not overly sweet. For meal I got the hippie ki yay, and I enjoyed that flatbread, it is vegan. The spinach dip is also good but different than what you'd expect. It is not too creamy and has a little tangy taste. But I liked that a lot, so I enjoyed it. The ambiance is lively and energetic. There's a lot of seating available, and different types including a massive couch. It is noisy in there with everyone talking, but I dont think its too bad if you want to study there. They do have a stage where they have bands perform, they also have trivia nights. I hope to check out one of the trivia nights. There is a decent size parking lot in the back. This parking lot was filled on a Tuesday night, so its definitely a spot to go and check out. This is one of the best places I have been to in GR! Highly recommend it!!
