This place never disappoints! A great variety of flavored lattes at very reasonable prices. Even if you don't care for coffee, the baked goods are a MUST! Great gluten free options! It is cozy cafe with a very laid back vibe. Had great service today, unfortunately I missed the baristas name. read more

Fourth Coast Cafe & Bakery - Gluten free and vegan donut-chocolate with raspberry glaze. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

I didn't know they bake everything in house. Except the cookies I think. First time I try Vegan Zucchini Bread. Wow. It is moist and pretty much like a cinnamon pound cake. I assume it is healthier than regular bread too. Coffee is good. I usually walk in after work but they still happily serve me even though it was late. read more

An acquaintance had visited me & brought along 3 pieces of dessert from this cafe ---a lemon bar--zucchini cake---there was a pie among the collection that I had split into 2 to share before having a chance to photograph it --it was a half moon shaped apple pie--- nonetheless my favorite one was the zucchini cake--service doesn't apply ---if you count dim lights & glare of a tv as ambience ---then I suppose it was ambient --‍ read more

Amazing gluten free donut and freshly roasted espresso. I didn't take advantage of Fourth Coast when I lived in Kalamazoo but am so happy I made a stop when I was in town. Prices are on par with other areas but much fresher. Bit of a hipster vibe. read more

The cafe is wonderful It has a restaurant above it It's a great place to read a book The only con is the parking if you have a truck it's incredibly difficult I highly recommend the white chocolate caramel latte iced, I have a variety of special drinks as well. We tried the cafe while we waited for our table for the crow's nest which I also highly recommend They work well together. It's a little crowded but service is quick read more

Cozy coffee shop. Seat are not comfortable for long term seating. Coffee was great and favored well. Music was a little too loud.

Super cool cafe with a restaurant upstairs! They have a large selection of bakery items and fresh bread, along with breakfast sandwiches. I got a sourdough loaf and a blueberry muffin (both tasting obviously freshly made), and coffee was also a hit :) read more

Stopped by here twice on a road trip. The coffee is great! I had an oat milk latte with blackberry syrup and honey. One of the best lattes I've had. I always appreciate non/dairy options. They do have quite a few vegan pastries. read more

Great place! We were waiting for our time to be available at the Crow's Nest and was just hanging out here. Got a Half-mast coffee and a chocolate chip brownie and a lemon bar for the kids. Everything was good! Lemon bar was the highlight for me! read more

Fourth Coast Cafe & Bakery - a counter with coffee bags on it - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

I always order an iced chai latte with oat milk, and I kid you not, it's my favorite drink. They add more chai than other places, and now I can't even enjoy chai from other spots because it tastes so watered down in comparison. I always make sure to grab one before heading up to eat at the Crows Nest. read more

This is a great spot to stop in for coffee and baked goods in Kzoo. It's right below one of the best breakfast spots in town, but they stand in their two feet with great coffee and food. It's a nice place to get some work done or enjoy the company of a friend /family. Staff has always been nice and helpful for me! read more

Stopped on the way home from a trip and got a great, reasonably priced cafe miel. It was great! Not too sweet with a hint of honey. Loved it! Friendly service. We got it to go, but not a lot of seating. Fun to find local coffee spots! read more

This place is so cute! I've been here twice now, my sister took me this past February and now I'm back in November. I got a cinnamon,vanilla,honey latte with oak milk so yummy!!!! Perfect temperature and cream espresso. I also bought a chocolate chip muffin it's very yummy a little crispy on top but nice and soft in the middle. Highly recommend coming here if your ever in Michigan! read more

From the moment the door opens the robust scent of coffee fills your nose. What a way to start the morning! The staff was friendly and service was quick! Tons of options for all dietary needs.

Fourth Coast Cafe & Bakery - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

After visiting crow's nest, i webt downstairs to drink something while reading a book I had a toothache so i requested something cold ( Hazelnut milk chocolate) it was okay. I also found on the chair table som other good baked stuff. I finally decided to take honey almond granola for home. I couldn't stay long because ther was noise and working in the background area. I think it is more a place to hang out with friends than to read a book. read more

Nice little coffee shop! Barista was friendly! Lots of selections, with dairy free, vegan, and gluten-free options as well! Ordered one of the current specials "Honey Lavender Latte" w/ Oat Milk & it was very tasty! Also- highly recommend the Snickerdoodles! They're delicious as well! I'll definitely stop again to try another flavored latte next time I'm in the area! read more

What a cozy little coffee shop. Barista was helpful in explaining the drinks and attentive to my low-calorie wishes. Decided on a double expresó almond milk latte, highly recommend it. Roughly, 100 calories or so. Besides the great coffee, the music isn't too loud. You can still engage in a nice conversation or do some studying if you'd wish. read more

Ahhh! We love their coast mocha and zucchini bread! My wife's highly allergic to Pecans but she'd take the meds and eat their pecan pie here. Yes, it's that worth it. The baked good seems to have shifted their authenticity in the past couple of years. Coffee seems to be pretty standard. read more

My favorite coffee shop of all times. Been going there for 20+ years since the days when it was smoky. Classic spot, great bakery too. Mint mocha! read more

Small little Cafe. I walked here last February in a snow storm, staff was friendly, coffee was good, they a decent selection of pastries. Crow's Nest is on top. read more

This is just below Crow's Nest and a fabulous place to get a coffee and pastry while you wait for a brunch table on a busy day. I had the honey almond cappuccino today, made with almond milk, and it was perfect- good balance of coffee and sweetness. They also sell loaves of bread and coffee beans if you want treats to take home! I haven't tried the pastries but they look excellent and have a variety of vegan and gluten-free options. read more

Coffee and tea are by far a couple of my favorite beverages. At fourth Coast Cafe each drink is made with quality ingredients at a fairly reasonable price. I had the chai latte with soy and my partner had the decaf vanilla latte with almond milk. Both were made to perfection. The vegan zucchini bread is the best! They also have vegan brownies that are good. Located below the crows nest, it has a decent amount of traffic. read more

This place may have given me a new addiction! I don't do caffeine much anymore but when my group wandered in here by mistake, being a sucker for small businesses I bought some baked goods! This place caters to seemingly everyone vegan and vegetarian. They also had gluten free options. The Vegan Chai Spiced Chocolate Chip Scone was possibly the best scone I've ever had Vegan or not!! The delicate crisp on the outside and the inside soft and chewy with yummy chai spice which is another yummy flavor for fall for me now! Friendly staff, unisex bathrooms....cool vibe. Well done peeps! I'm gonna start baking cuz I can't find anything like it near me! read more

Love the coffee and the muffins. My go to study spot love the community it's in as well, the people are great.

We love this place at any time of the year. Their service, coffee, and food are just really good. They have renovated in the cafe area so there's less space for us to sit but it seems to be a bit more organized and brighter. read more

Fourth Coast Cafe & Bakery - Half Mast and s'mores bar ( the best brewed coffee around) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Nice people and perfect for going to meet up with an old friend or getting some work done. LOVE that it has its own parking. Just wish there was more seating. read more

Perfectly good cafe and coffee makers. Their location in the Vine neighborhood means that they get a lot of pedestrian traffic, and being beneath the Crow's Nest brings more customers too. Not being a coffee diva, I don't really care if the roast tastes this way or that--I'm a tea drinker at heart. For $2.50, I was served a large Earl Grey that hit the spot. Now, real tea aficionados want their tea loose leaf and steeped in a container, then poured in a cup...mine was hot water through a tea bag into a pint glass (a first). Nonetheless, the tea was okay, the service friendly, the space clean and inviting, and the overall atmosphere pleasing. Yup, I'd go back. read more

Best hot chocolate in town! [They have been around forever. I always feel good supporting them when I visit. Before covid, this was the best place to be for a late night conversation.] read more

I have been several times the coffee just isn't that great. I do love I mean love their biscotti and I have stopped just to buy them. They have a pretty good granola at just $2.50 a bag. Also I bought a loaf of banana bread and it was huge for the $12 price. I definitely recommend them for their baked goods. read more

Fourth Coast Cafe & Bakery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Pretty fab coffee shop and bakery! The space has got the indie coffee shop thing on lock. Flyers from local events, meetings, etc, serving fair trade coffees, live music on the regular, exposed brick, funky colored walls. As someone who totally digs this type of scene I was pleased greatly. Their formal restaurant upstairs, the Crow's Nest, serves their bread which you can buy in loaf form at the coffee shop here. They also have a variety of other tasty looking snacks but since I had just gorged myself upstairs I had to sadly pass. Lots of seating in the space that didn't seem to crowded (even though the Crow's Nest upstairs was packed). Looks like an ideal place to pull up a chair, a cup of coffee, a little baked nugget, and a good book or your laptop to get some work done. I just cruised through to pick up some extra banana bread for my drive home to Ann Arbor so I can't really talk too much about all the products but I was drooling over the bakery case and could see myself sitting here a spell when I return in the future! A bigger bonus? They're open 24 hours. An insomniac or college student's dream come true. read more

I just moved to Kalamazoo. And some friends told me about this place. So what did I do? I checked it out of course! I love coffee. And I have to say this place makes some good coffee. You aren't breaking the bank at the same time. I got a good size cup of coffee for under $3. That beats crappy Starbucks by a long shot! Not to mention if you tell them you're going to stay there and have your coffee (or whatever you get) they put your drink in a actual mug. This may be no big to some people. But being from a small town naturally. This makes the larger city seem more like home. In addition to that though. The all around feel of the place is so unique. It has character. Not like someone went out and bought a bunch of stuff from ikea to decorate the place. Real art though, urban, and unique. It's not a huge place. But just sitting there. Even if you're alone... It can kinda feel a little like home. A sense of warmth. Maybe it's just me. I'll be recommending this place to everyone one I know at this rate. read more

I randomly chose this place to meet a friend. I was in need of a space, so hubs could dissertate​ in a quiet corner close enough to coffee if the mood struck him, while I went off to enjoy the company of a friend I haven't seen in about a year. This is kind of a perfect space. Everyone seemed happy, and thoughtful and kind, and sometimes hungry as many people who seem to stop in during a weekend afternoon are actually on their way up to Crow's Nest. Be cautious, this place can fill up pretty quickly, so you'll want to be careful about your timing. 1 PM​ on Saturday wasn't awful bad, but as more people start their weekends, it can fill up in the blink of an eye. You'll have a mixture of soon-to-be-called Crow's Nest patrons and people trying to get some work down with a delicious cuppa something. While there, one of the mixers kind of went crazy, but it brought me back down to earth and my friend and I had a good laugh at how unbothered the majority of the patrons were. Hubs offered me a cup of latte, caramel - I believe - and it was delicious. I'll definitely be going back in the near future, I'm excited to try some of the baked goods, and maybe even go upstairs for once. read more

The best coffee I have ever had! So good that this was where I began drinking coffee without all the sugar and cream crap. I love my coffee black now! Now every time I see people drinking Starbucks, I just feel sorry for them. Fourth Coast is open 24 hours (even better!) Don't forget to try their restaurant upstairs. Crow's Nest has the best breakfast in town! read more

I wish I could take Fourth Coast with me in my back pocket everywhere I go. 24 hours Fourth Roast coffee Smoking. (though I've since quit, but that was like the finger of god striking down and declaring this my 2nd home) And everytime I go back, even after months or years, it's the same people that have been sitting in the same spot playing cards or chess since I first stepped in. It's like Cheers, except nobody will probably know your name because they all look like depressed robots. And that's how I like it. read more
