The lower-level is darker and cozier so it's great to dial in some work. Staff seemed friendly enough, but nobody went above and beyond by any means. Not the best coffee in downtown IMO, but not horrible either.

did you know that morning ritual has breakfast sandwiches?…read more all of which are default vegan (option for dairy cheese available) 1. bacon, egg, and cheese 2. sausage, egg, and cheese 3. egg and cheese all sandwiches come on an english muffin with richie sauce which is some sort of spicy mayo. they still sell nantucket goodies too like bagels, vegan croissants, and the vegan pb chocolate rice crispy treats. i personally like the new location, though of course i miss the character of the old building. the photo booth is fun and i enjoy perusing the various local products and art they sell/display.

It wasn't bad, but not my favorite. I didn't love the specialty options, but the fruity loopy special was pretty good and tasted just like the cereal (although I wasn't expecting a green coffee) In terms of specialty coffee, I wish they had more staple espresso options (such as brown sugar or cinnamon) rather than fruity syrups (strawberry/peach). Everyone's taste is different, I'd still encourage to give it a try!

I've only been a handful of times but need to come more! Recently was able to try some of their winter specials and absolutely LOVED the cookie butter latte! Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! It's also connected to Stoffer Home which you can shop in while you wait for your coffee to be made ;)

It was afternoon so I wanted a bit of a pick me up but not my usual cold brew. So, their summer menu was perfect. I was able to get some work done here too (as were other folks). Not a lot of seating though. I had the Guava Espresso Tonic - I've been really into espresso tonics lately and usually it's with orange, but love the guava touch here. If you haven't had an espresso tonic - it's tonic water with espresso. Makes for a refreshing experience. I first had it about 15 years ago in San Francisco (shout out Andytown!) and glad it's making its way here.

Apparently this is a favorite among the local college crowd, and I can see why. The space is big, bright, and inviting. There were groups of friends playing card games, plenty of people working on laptops, and an atmosphere that somehow felt both fun and relaxing. The vibe check? Passed with flying colors. It wasn't perfect, though. If you're planning on working for a few hours, be prepared to hunt for actual working power outlets because they're surprisingly scarce. My chai latte also left a lot to be desired. It wasn't bad, just forgettable. Then came the açaí bowl. Organic açaí blended with blueberries, mango, blue agave, and coconut milk, then topped with granola, coconut flakes, chocolate chips, honey, strawberries, blueberries, and peanut butter. Oh... my... goodness. I was not prepared for what arrived at the table. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh. The fruit was vibrant, the granola had amazing texture, and every bite felt like the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and refreshing. It wasn't just delicious--it was one of those dishes that makes you stop what you're doing because your full attention suddenly belongs to the food. Here's what makes that statement carry some weight: I live in an area of South Florida surrounded by a huge Brazilian community. I have no fewer than six dedicated açaí shops within eight minutes of my house. I've had a lot of açaí bowls over the years. Without question, Midnight Express Cafe serves the best açaí bowl I've ever had. I never expected to find my favorite açaí bowl in Grand Rapids, Michigan, but here we are. Sometimes the biggest surprises happen in the places you least expect them.

Possibly my new favorite spot for a bagel?…read more The matcha was good - smooth and creamy. The flavor of their vanilla syrup isn't my favorite but it wasn't bad. I live for fun specialty matcha and while they did have one on the menu, the pine flavors weren't appealing to me. Surprisingly, the real star of the show was the bagel. Not the avocado spread that was on it, that just tasted like that overly acidic stuff you get in the little cups, but the bagel itself was amazing. It was chewy but not tough to chew. I loved its soft doughy texture. They also had some vegan treats available that i'd love to try next time. The matcha was good but not my top pick in GR but that bagel would definitely bring me back.

I would say this is a busy location but they are pretty quick to get you your items! They offer indoor ordering and have a good amount of spots to sit and enjoy your cup of coffee. It's usually pretty quiet in there. I would say the price of my almond milk hazelnut latte (nutty buddy) is very comparable to other coffee chains. However they always have sales and coupons along with a great reward system! So that's a major perk! I have ever had their food here and decided to try their breakfast sandwich. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese on Asiago bagel with the cream cheese on the side. WOW! I was very impressed! It was work the $6+! It was pretty stacked and so warm and the cheese was melted along with a soft chewy bagel! Amazing! I will honestly come here for a quick breakfast bagel over the larger chains!
