I came here full from dinner, trying to lose weight, and vowed that I would just come and chat with…read moremy friends. Not here for ice cream. Not here for locally made ice cream. At reasonable prices. With friendly staff. Not here for ice cream while all of my friends were ordering delicious varieties. While my one friend ordered the last of the blueberry cheesecake, making me jealous. Not here for chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and chocolate brownies and chocolate fudge. No. No Death By Moose for me. Certainly not here to order a medium size vs. a small. I'm on a diet, I can barely even fit a spoonful, let alone a small. Just because my friends are getting mediums and larges doesn't mean I have to. At least I walked off a little of that medium Death By Moose, for a far more reasonable price than the ice cream back home in NJ. And with that, I can now dive into my review and why it's lacking the fifth star. Delicious homemade ice cream, but the texture here is a little smooshy. Many of their flavors have color added - I asked about the lemon and was told it's yellow. "Very bright yellow," she laughed. And I had to ask because they only have about 10 flavors on display, the rest are in "various" places. If I knew they were running out of the blueberry cheesecake, I could have asked for a small bite. Hard to know if I can't see it. That last point is the real thing I hope they can improve here. Get another display case and start showing more of your flavors. Especially the unique ones that make you special. Maybe not the shockingly bright lemon though.

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!!

We were on the SW of town and thought we would try someplace new. We will now find a reason to go here again.

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!
