    This is such a wonderful, blueberry filled, shop and restaurant. They hahe more blueberry themed things that you could imagine and everything i tried today tasted delicious. It usually is very busy in here and can get crowded so i'd recommend going after 4pm because it seems to die down then. The employees are so kind and accommodating, i ordered an iced blueberry latte and received a hot drink, they made me a new one right away and let me keep the hot drink to give to my friend. It is very pretty inside as well and there's a good amount of seat and it's split into a restaurant side and a shop side.

    Stopped in here before heading home. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's good to get there early- as we were wrapping up it was getting packed for Sunday brunch. We got the quiche and country hash. Both were quite good! The blueberry preserves were the best I've ever had!! A couple glass of their fresh juice washed it all down nicely.

    Blueberry BBQ Pulled Pork

    Stopped here for a weekday lunch. My husband had a bowl of the White Chicken Chili and the Caprese Grilled Cheese. He enjoyed the soup and the sandwich, but the servings were larger than he had anticipated. Half of the Caprese sandwich was lunch the next day. I had the Blueberry BBQ and it also was good and had a huge amount of pulled pork. I also got a second lunch out of half of the sandwich. On the way out, we got a bag of blueberry granola, blueberry dog treats, and a chocolate hazelnut pastry. My dog seemed to like the treats and we liked the granola and pastry. Our food arrived quickly. They also have a walk-up window and a dog-friendly patio.

    The food was pretty good, I tried the blueberry donuts! It was really fresh and enjoyable. People here may not be the most friendly but I did go on a busy day. Overall it was pretty good. I can't wait to come back and try the blueberry muffins!

    stopped down for breakfast with the girlfriend the other day after the farmers market. it was a very busy delivery quickly made our way to the front line to order food and drinks. I ordered the pancake stack with blueberries and bacon on the side. I got a frozen blueberry lemonade to go with it, which was super yummy. My friend got the avocado toast, which was huge and she also really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back again for breakfast !!

    Stopped in for lunch on my way through Holland. It was quite busy but the line moved quickly. You order up at the counter then choose a table and they bring your food out to you but be sure to grab napkins/silverware before sitting down. Nice variety of seating from smaller tables to larger ones for groups and an outdoor patio as well. I was happy to snag one by the window :) There were a lot of tasty-sounding menu options, but I decided on the "Choose 2" lunch special for $14 and opted for the house salad and caprese sandwich. Both were delicious, I was just disappointed in the one tiny sliver of mozzarella on the sandwich and the very small salad portion. I also got a peach blueberry iced green tea, which was perfectly refreshing. In addition to their fresh menu, they also sold packaged food products like blueberry jam, honey, maple syrup, etc. which would make great gifts. Overall, I can see why this place is popular!

    What a neat place! If you love blueberries you have to visit Bowerman's. Nearly everything on the menu has blueberries! I ordered the Monte Christo and a blueberry donut latte. So delicious! You must come here while in Holland.

    Hands down Bowerman's is my favorite spot in downtown Holland!! It's so nice--right on the corner, lots of natural light and comfortable seating. The menu is so full of great choices---mine is the BO8 smash burger! Who would think to put a swipe of blueberry jalapeño jam on a burger. I'm not saying my favorite in Holland; that's my all time favorite burger (forgot to take a picture of the burger) ANYWHERE! The other thing I love is their blueberry hibiscus lemonade!! I got one of those everyday we were there. Wish I knew how to make it!! The people working there are so nice--truly great service. Would love to have a Bowerman's way down south in Mississippi!

    Mimosa flight

    We went to this café on a really busy Saturday. The food came out pretty quickly and everyone enjoyed their lunch. You order at the counter and they give you a number and deliver the food, so it's not a full service restaurant. I was very excited to discover in the bakery they offer a gluten-free and vegan mini cherry blueberry pie that matched my dietary restrictions. It is very yummy! I would definitely eat here again as there were other items on the menu that I wanted to try. We enjoyed the power bowl, the chicken salad sandwich, and the blueberry pulled pork sandwich. We also enjoyed the hibiscus blueberry lemonade and a mimosa flight. There were lots of cute items in the gift shop and they offer a ton of baked goods for sale. Really fun place!

    Sarah K.

    Love the blueberry theme! This was a nice place for breakfast during our trip to Holland. I had a blueberry donut latte, and it was very good! Tasted like a blueberry donut! I got the potato cake, which was good as well! Had a nice crispy outside and cheesy inside. The person who took our order seemed a bit harried, but the people that brought us our food were very warm and friendly.

    On a weekend afternoon this place is very busy. We waited in line to get some baked goods and the blueberry soda. The blueberry scone was surprisingly savory and salty and the blueberry hand pie was very sweet. I would have enjoyed the blueberry hand pie better without the icing on top. We also got the blueberry soda which was delicious. It seems they have a lot of options on their menu - so much so it was slightly overwhelming. If you're coming on a weekend expect it to be quite crowded.

    Peanut Butter Brownie
    Kayla D.

    Bowerman's is your blueberry destination on the lakeshore. You can get anything from a donut, coffee, and even salad with blueberries sprinkled throughout. I opted for the peanut butter brownie which was absolutely heavenly/rich and reminded me much of a classic holiday dessert, peanut butter ball - so good!!

    We came during Tulip Time when they are open extended hours. They only semi post they are open extended hours. They need to post the hours on their door. We were walking by and saw people inside so we stopped in. We went after the Dutch dancers performed. We had dinner prior and now it was time for dessert. They had a flight of cheesecake: lemon, blueberry, cookies and cream, and a fourth kind. My favorite was lemon. My second favorite was cookies and cream. I wish they had individual size cheesecakes. I would have ordered the lemon one. I reconfirm this place for dessert. It's spacious and very clean.

Outside of my veggie-heavy CSA haul, here's what ends up in my tote bags: -FRUIT: West Michigan is the fruit belt after all. The season starts with strawberries; peaks with peaches, apricots, nectarines, watermelon, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, and BLUEBERRIES; and winds down with apples and pumpkins. -MORE VEG: Basically, you name it, and you'll find it at the market. -Maple syrup: you're very lucky if you can get your hands on the varieties infused with whiskey as well as elderberry. -Blank cards: go see Marguerite, she's a talented artist, and she also makes delicious jams. -Cheese: the Cheese People of Grand Rapids know their stuff. -Sourdough loaves -And during blueberry season: blueberry muffins from Bowermans...or blueberry donuts...or blueberry handpies. You can't go wrong. That's about all I can fit (and afford) on a weekly basis, and know that there's so much more deliciousness...and plants. There's a lot of those too! The market is also market-ing on Saturdays. That's when it's a full house in terms of vendors. If there's one vendor you can't pass by, it's Rudy at Fantabulous Fudge. He's been slinging *the best* fudge in the area for years, and in the fall, he makes some bomb caramel apples using orchard apples. Lastly, I recommend coming in the spring, summer, and fall if you can swing it, as there are certain vendors that only make appearances during certain parts of the season.

Highly recommend this farmers market, they have a lot of fresh produce and unique items as well

We decided to do the most touristy thing you could do in Holland: blueberry picking. I am so glad we did because we had a blast! We went in the morning when it wasn't super hot yet and didn't have to pay anything to enter. We were given small buckets and instructed to pick in a certain field. And we were off! After about 30-45 minutes, we had all filled our small buckets with bright blue blueberries. After we made our way back to the main facility, our buckets were weighed and we paid. The total came out to about $15ish per family. After they had boxed up our blueberries, we decided to check out the gift shop. It was filled with fun blueberry gifts and even a cafe serving everything blueberry! This was such a fun experience and I'm glad we got to try it!

But it was already closed for the season. So we were so happy to find this location! We went shortly after they opened. We approached the table on their patio and they offered us a bucket and instructed us where to pick. There were only a handful of other people there, so we hand plenty of space to ourselves. At first I was disappointed because the berries were super tiny, which made me worry they would be tart. But they weren't! They were the sweetest, most delicious blueberries!! We took our little boy and he had THE BEST TIME. Blueberries are his absolute favorite, so I'm pretty sure this was a dream come true! We only picked about a half pound, but that seemed like so much! While I was waiting in line to weigh and buy, there were other people arriving to buy pre-picked. They'd buy HUGE crates - enough to last them through the winter. Mmmmm! The people here were extra sweet and friendly. So stop and have a chat after picking. You can also pick up a blueberry donut and get a cone of blueberry soft serve.

They have a farm stand and a U-Pick (a little farther up the same road on the North side. The farm stand accepts credit cards but as of last year the U-Pick does not, cash only. PRICES: Strawberries are $4.00/Quart, $2.50/Pint, if you do the U-Pick it is $1.85/Lb. I was told that 1 quart is about 1.5 lbs (if you are trying to figure out how many lbs are in a quart). The farm stand also sells items such as honey, maple syrup, rhubarb, sugar & snap peas, biscuits, pectin, and more. There is a rabbit for kids to pet (& keep them occupied as you check out the stand). Minimal parking. One thing I get annoyed at is they ask you to bring the boxes back but they don't give you an incentive to do so (like a few bucks off or a % off would be nice!). If they did that, then yes I would make sure I brought them back! They also do red raspberries, apples, pumpkins, cider, squash when in season but are known for their strawberries. I would have given this a 5 star if the prices were better & if they gave me a reason to bring back those boxes they ask us to bring back (discount maybe)!!
