We read the reviews and stopped in on a Friday morning at 8:15 on our way to Chicago. Great little…read morespot! They have outdoor seating under a covered patio. We opted to eat inside the small dining area - I counted 7 tables - there was only one other party so we had the place to ourselves. Our breakfasts were very good and the hash browns were crispy just the way we like them. I had eggs Benedict and my husband had the 3 meat omelette with sausage gravy. We were both very happy with our meals. My husband also commented that the coffee was very good - it's from Zingerman's so that was probably why! Would definitely stop there again. Our server was the only one working and she was very upbeat and did a great job.

The second time we have stopped at the Cozy Egg Cafe. Great place to grab breakfast or lunch when…read morewe are coming back from Chicago or the west side of the state. Absolutely love that they are dog friendly! My husband and I came for breakfast. He got the lox plate which was so fresh and good. I got the oat cakes with blueberries. I swapped out the syrup for a side of honey. The oat cakes are made with oatmeal, cinnamon, and yogurt. So good! The service is great. Everyone is so friendly. Food came quickly. Make sure to ask for a coffee menu too! I forgot to take a picture.

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!

coffee & food is great!! But I also drive an hour to this place and the hours are never Consistent…read morethey close and open when they want too & I try calling every time before I leave because I do drive an hour no one ever answers phone and they also close "for periods" of time so they can restock and clean . I ain't ever hear anyrhing like that your a business . You dont close to re stock things , that has happened to me three times I'll come in and they will say they are temporary close not sure when they will re open and it's frustrating because it will be anytime of the day as a business you don't just get to close for 30 mins -40 to clean or restock . I just get tired of driving here , and it's always something if you have set hours then you should be open the full time , not closing for short periods of time or closing early and if you are then update people have accurate phones because I hate driving an hour to a place that says it's open and it's not

Super cute spot with so many great options! Chocolatea…read moreoffers tons of loose leaf tea options in large canisters for you to collect from, complete with any and all supplies you'd need to make a great cup or pot of tea! We stopped by on a recent weeknight, toward the end of chilly night for a pot of tea and a dessert! You can choose from any of their tea offerings for an in-house pot! We loved this option! They also offer single servings of all sort of teas and coffee drinks! They offer a quaint little area to enjoy your treats if you'd like to stay for a visit with a friend! There is also a nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice! The dessert case is truly something to behold - so many wonderful looking treats! We also saw a menu with some other food items available such as quiches or sandwiches. The staff were extremely helpful with all of our questions - very friendly and kind! Definitely recommend Chocolatea for a really nice experience that leaves you feeling like a valued customer! :)

My husband and I went to the closest location to my mom's house and this was perfect. Parking was easy although slightly tricky to find the entrance if you're not familiar with this area. You don't enter through the bookstore, but rather the side. He ordered the regular drip (was delicious) and I tried their special amaretto honey latte. It was SO good. I thought it'd be overly sweet, but it was the perfect balance of sweetness so was happy with my choice. I noticed that this location also serves cocktails at night, so that's pretty interesting. If I am back in town again, will plan on checking it out.

Service was quick and friendly, the guy working was patient as I checked out the menu. I had the literary turkey sandwich and the honey amaretto latte, both were very good. Inside seating although it looked like there were tables and space to sit outside in nicer weather. Definitely coming back next time I'm in the area.

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.

So after browsing Groupon looking for something to do with my youngest one morning, I ended up…read morepurchasing one for Kzoo Cat Cafe. We aren't really "cat people", but because of my husbands allergies my sons are really interested in cats. First off, I didn't read the fine print and the first time I tried to go here I realized it's only open from 6:00-9:00 pm. Well that wasn't helpful for me who wanted to go before (afternoon) preschool! Then I looked again and the Groupon I bought was only valid Mon-Thurs. so now it's winter break, I have both kids that want to go, and it expires on Jan 6... bummer! So I buy another Groupon for 2 and invite my cat-loving neighbor and we make a night out of it. It's hard for me to give 3 vs 4 stars for this. From a non-car persons viewpoint, it was so full of cats and people and toys everywhere and then there's a Keurig and snack bags for your enjoyment. What?? Plus I think it's like $12 a person to get in normally!! Who pays that to go sit and pet cats? Well obv a ton of people because the place was packed!! They said it was the most full they'd seen it in a while. Also this is a rescue and adoption facility so people can come back and adopt a cat after they've played with it for a while the first day. People were sitting all over the place, on the floor, on the ripped up couch, on the few chairs that were there, etc. and the cats were everywhere too! Most of the cats were very nice and my sons did love to play with them. Not sure we'd go back, or if it was worth the $24 for 4 people I paid. But I guess a fun activity to try out once.

After a month of ongoing updates via texts as well as pictures of my poor kitten who appeared to be looking better, I asked if it would be possible for me to pick her back up at some point and received the responses I attached in the below screenshots. I thought that this was a good place but I guess I was wrong.
