Qahwah is a coffee shop I had been wanting to try for a while, so I am glad I finally made it in…read more The space has a great vibe. It was fairly busy, but we were still able to get a table. Overall, everything was solid. The Qishr was good, though I think it could have used a bit more kick. Aside from that, the coffee was excellent and the rest of what we tried did not disappoint. I also had an organic mango juice, which was fresh (even though it came in a bottle) and really enjoyable.

I recently went to Qawah House with a friend! It's a place my friend Janelle has constantly…read morerecommended. I never realized that it's located so close to the movie theater and Meijer Gardens! I would absolutely stop over there before or after going to one of those. There's ample parking and it's within the general area of the movie theater. The spot itself has a good amount of seating and some of the coolest decor. There is a massive wooden art piece detailing history which is so fun to just sit and read. The staff was more than friendly and polite. They gave us some really helpful information and recommendations for drinks. We didn't end up eating any of the food but the honeycomb dessert looked incredible and my boss has said that the spinach pie is amazing. I really loved my strawberry matcha! The drink was beautiful and tasted really great!

With a good amount of seating and tasty coffee options this is a great place to do work or meet up with friends. I can wait to return! Drink: -12oz iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Goood rich coffee with the perfect amount of sweetness!

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.

A very conveniently placed coffee shop in the Kingma's Market. It's quite small, so I would refrain…read morefrom coming here to get work done, but overall pretty good coffee. It's more on the pricey side for a latte, but they make their efforts in presentation. They have their own pink mugs, and the coffee art is done well! Sometimes I think coffee shops can make their stores look a little too busy with decoration. I believe that simple is often better. The staff was kind, making sure we were take care of. In the GR coffee scene, it's in the above-average category.

Cutest pick me up? Don't mind if I do!…read more I have to admit, I'm totally biased because I live right around the corner... but also, this truly is the cutest coffee shop in the Creston/Riverside neighborhood. It's connected to Kingma's, but also stands on its own. Their baked goods come from Lucy's, which is right down the street. Their coffee is always rich and leaves you wanting more. The prices are on the higher side, but it's our splurge every so often. Perfect place to work if you need a change of pace. A cozy, but trendy spot. And the baristas might be the friendliest in town.

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.

I don't know how to feel about this place! It's creative and unique, the space is big with lots of…read morenatural light and a good amount of space to work. The drinks are interesting. 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!

We jad a cheesecake with us, the staff offered to take it in the back and store it in the fridge for us. They brought it out for with the candles lit to sing happy birthday and then they took it back to cut it up for us. I am so glad to experience such an amazing staff! Some things to note: you can order a cake from their bakery hut they need 72 hour notice. Cakes from outside bakery are allowed, there is a charge of 1.50 per person. It has to be from a bakery, it cant be homemade. Reservations on weekends is for 12+ party. Besides the amazing service. The food is amazing! The cinnamon rolls are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. We got it without the bacon. It was flaky and warm and just so delicious. For my entree I got the breakfast sandwich with vegan sausage and no egg and side of potatoes. It was also very good. The biscuit is very soft and buttery. All the entrees were huge portions and enough for some leftovers. I will definitely go back even just for the cinnamon roll and the service! We had a small group and had no issue getting a table on a Saturday.

So I really dropped the ball with this review. I usually start with a bunch of photos, but I was…read moretoo preoccupied with taking in the charming ambiance, the veteran-created art pieces, the photos and stories all around honoring the legacy of the heroes who have served their nation, and getting to meet the interesting people inside. I realize the tiny structure is perfect for what this place is all about - honoring the stories each of us holds through connection and community. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, possibly the best drip coffee I've ever had (and I have had some really good coffee!) and I'm told by my wife that the chai was absolutely delightful. A small menu of drinks and treats may make this spot slip off of your radar - but you would be missing out on a magical little place that, as the name implies, truly has heart... and plenty of it.

Has Heart Coffee Shop celebrates veterans and their stories. Their goal is to make sure every vet never has to pay for coffee. Located directly across from the GR Children's Museum entrance in Veterans Memorial Park. Street parking (meters / MOTU App) if you can get in before the museum opens.

There are constantly free events to promote the space as a third space with no pressure to have to buy anything; however, the drinks and local art are well worth it!

I definitely suggest you stop by and even just hang out.

They don't play music way too loud like so many joints do and the employees are always pleasant. They sell a lot of local art and there is always something unique and fun to check-out. I almost always get one of their seasonal drinks because they are all amazing, but if I don't I get the Killer Queen. I have been there dozens of times and have NEVER had a drink that disappointed me. I love bringing friends there and it's always the first place I recommend when people wanna get coffee.

Stopped by around lunchtime to pick up two dozen donuts and was not disappointed…read more Ava was working this day and she made the experience that much better. Very friendly and attentive and put together our order quickly. The donuts come in a wide variety, each one looking more delicious than the next. Flavors included original cinnamon and sugar, all the way to Boston cream, blueberry pancake with injectable maple syrup, or the BroOreo. The donuts themselves are delicious and are a perfect size for a small indulgence. Overall, highly recommended. Will definitely visit again in the future.

Guess who was wrong? Me! These hand crafted, made-to-order donuts were quite possibly the lightest donut I've ever eaten. Moist, yet light and airy... they leave you wanting more. Best part was being able to watch them make them in front of you, in record time. Zero issues, will totally be back.
