I've had several juices and smoothies and I've never been disappointed. My favorites have been the Liquid Sunshine juice, Blue Moon over Eastown, and Material Girl. I appreciate that their smoothies have quality ingredients, are nutrient-dense, and SO tasty. I often feel like other smoothies I try are actually just sugary fruit juice and I've never felt that way at Good Judy's. I have loved their seasonal menu items as well and I almost always snag the toast on special when I can or the You Feta Work salad. The staff are always so friendly and I love that there are seats to sit in while you wait or you can eat in. I've been grateful that it's always a chill environment when I'm there and I can hear myself think! Also their merch is SO cute and especially being queer, I want to buy it all! I love being able to support a queer-owned business that supports so many other minority owned companies!

I've been fortunate to try the juices at those events and they are always the highlight! This past week I finally got the opportunity to visit the brick and mortar location and try a smoothie bowl. The location is right on Wealthy right near the Wealthy Theater and has the cutest art and designs from the outside. There's ample street parking which makes it easy to get to. The staff are INCREDIBLY kind and fun. You should defnitely check out their social media, especially the tiktoks/reels. I had one of the acai smoothie bowls and it was soooo good. I really loved the flavors and different textures. It was incredibly refreshing and felt like a great, healthier sweet treat. They have a little store area on the inside with juices to go as well as local and national snack brands. I picked up a black sesame paste that I can't wait to try out. Definitely recommend coming here!

Sometimes you just need a place to escape the hotel room, crack open the laptop, and get some work…read moredone. That's exactly what brought me to Midnight Express Cafe in Grand Rapids. 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.

I tried the coffee one this time and it was delicious! You can really taste the fresh ingredients, and everything feels high quality. My only small critique is that there was a little too much ice, so it wasn't quite as flavorful as I would have liked--but it was still really good! I also had the Detoxifying Green Juice, and it was excellent--no complaints whatsoever! It was exactly what I look for in a good green juice: fresh, flavorful, and packed with those clean, healthy ingredients. The service is always top notch, which makes the experience even better. The space is also super clean with an upbeat, fresh, almost new-age feel. It's definitely become one of my go-to spots when I'm craving something fresh and healthy.

I know things cost more now of course but to me the cost seems high, just to the point that this is a treat visit for me as opposed to a regular stop. Certainly paying for freshness and quality which seems fair.

My expectations were surpassed. I ordered the Virgo nation and fries, and they were a perfect comfort meal. The seasoning on the impossible patty brings it to another level, and the onion ring? Honestly not sure how they fry at this place, but it's probably one of the best onion rings I've had. The bun was also great. I liked it so much that I came back the next day and ordered the falafel. On the lighter side, it has some fresh veggies (always a plus), and the sauce is awesome. I'm pretty picky about falafel and again - their frying technique here is superb. The sweet potato fries were great, too. The folks working here were super friendly, and the order was prepared quickly. I liked being able to walk around the market for the short wait. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Excited to try the rest of the items on the menu!
