What a beautiful coffee shop! I love the open and bright feeling. There are a variety of seating…read moreoptions - soft seating, a few 2 & 4 top tables, bar/counter seating, and the most beautiful long table with plants set out on it surrounded by log style seating with cushions. So many cozy places to vibe. It's possible to reserve little sections of the shop for group events too. The menu is standard coffee shop offerings and I loved the espresso spritz that I got - I've never had a coffee that made me feel like I was drinking a cocktail before! The baked goods were high quality and tasty. The barista crew was super kind and friendly. They seemed to enjoy working together and went out of their way to be chatty and friendly towards me. Their little merch selections was super hard to resist - they sell cute totes and cups including clay cups which was unique. I loved their community focus and sustainability. Definitely check out Aldea if you're in the area - it's a beautiful space to be.

We happened upon this wonderful spot by chance whilst camping at Muskegon State Campground…read more I was immediately drawn to the interior decoration, creative corner for the kids, delicious coffee, and sustainable business model. Everything tasted phenomenal and we relaxed for a better part of an hour drawing, reading, and taking in the smell of live plants while listening to soothing cafe tunes. Across the way there is a beautiful boutique store with cute clothes and jewelry. They had paper bags to decorate for the kid's food basket along with print offs for kids to color. I loved their little library of books to curl up to. This place felt like a refuge to sit, relax, and be creative. Thankful these places exist. They make a killer cappuccino- reminded me of Italy. Strong and small. Definitely check out this place if you need to be caffeinated or want a gf cookie. I like it the most for the vibessssss.

I like that they offer frittatas and light sides such as pasta salad, pesto tortellini and chicken salad amongst a few other options. I imagine this space would be great to get some work done but most certainly to catch up with people you wanna spend time with. I tried the Cafe miel....a first for me. Espresso, honey, cinnamon and oat milk. I added a shot of vanilla and I loved it! The bacon + cheddar frittata was yummy! Some may find it too salty but I enjoyed it. It's a quirky space because they also sell vintage clothing pieces and books. But it's really cool!

Choose left for a disco party with the skeletons. Choose right for a moody art gallery. They have the best selection of fresh made gluten free and vegan foods. Their pastry chef should give herself a raise. Very supportive of ALL people. It's a safe place and community groups often meet in their cozy sitting room. If you have an interest in architecture and local history, this coffee shop is located in the historic Shaw Walker factory, which is currently (2025) undergoing a major repurposing- turning a crumbling building into condos and retail. It's really cool to see the transformation.

Maybe she was having an off day and that's okay! But it made for an awkward experience. The music was very loud, and that was the reason I decided to leave. The seating is unique. Most of it is high tops. There is a couch area and 2 tables that are regular tables. It is a small space and the design is nice, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's cozy. I had a Valentine's special, a red velvet latte. It was okay. The cheesecake cold foam was the best I have ever had, but the latte itself tasted so artificial like maybe it had too much red velvet or something? Not sure! Maybe it would be better if I gave it another try sometime! I wish them great success though!

We've tried nearly everything on the menu (some we've tried twice) and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing and the drinks always hit. The orange mimosa is literally the best I've ever had. My 7yo and 9yo also enjoy this place to the point that it's the only place we eat out where they actually will clear their plates (and they order a ton of food here). My son always orders the chocolate chip pancake with a side of bacon and a side of sourdough toast. He finishes all of that then tries stealing the rest of our family members sides of toast. He quite literally asked me recently to make toast for breakfast for him, but he wanted it like brunch house makes it. Oh! We planned to go here last weekend and messed with my 7yo the morning of and told him we couldn't go because the brunch house called and said that my 7yo ate too much of their toast last time we were there, so they wouldn't accept our 7yo as a customer any longer. My 7yo literally "ugly cried" and I had to tell him we were joking and felt terrible. Overall, the weekdays are less busy than the weekends, but if you join the waitlist about 10-15 mins from arrival on the weekends, ur table is usually ready by time you arrive. We like to go right at 7-7:30am when they first open because it's usually only us and a few other customers in the restaurant, so we beat the rush.
