I've been on the hunt for good brunch ever since moving back to Michigan seven years ago, and the best spot I've found is unfortunately two hours from where I live! My family makes sure to swing through at least once a year on our way back from Lake Michigan. My spouse and older kid love Sy's pot pie, and my younger kid loves the kids' pancakes with chocolate chips and sausage on the side. Not only is the food great, but Lisa is an absolute gem. She was our server when we first found this place in 2024, and on every visit since, she's made sure to stop by and chat, even if we're not in her section. We love her and we love eating here - we only wish it were closer!

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.

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.

The greenhouse seating area is so nice, lots of tables, outlets, wifi, and a quiet calm place to read or study/work from home! The natural lighting is insane. I just got an iced americano which was delicious. Free parking lot and entrance in the back. I think they also have fun events here you can keep an eye out for. I wish this was here when I lived here!!!

Lovely spot for a study spot or a friends hang. Lots of people were doing laptop work. A few…read morefriends were catching up while doing some water color painting in the beautiful greenhouse. There's probably about 5-6 tables in the front and same in the back with free wifi. Limited drink and food options, decent for coffee shop.

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!

I really wanted to like this place--the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the menu looks great…read more The location is perfect as well. Unfortunately, my visit (weekday around 9:30 am) was a letdown. I was the only one in line, yet I stood there for several minutes without being acknowledged. The staff seemed more focused on their tasks (cutting a kiwi and making coffee) than on greeting or even informing me they'd be with me shortly. I had to walk out without making a purchase. I'll give this place another try, hoping my next experience will be better, as I truly want to enjoy it.

They do try to help you the best they can well having a nice and welcoming attitude. The Warm and 'plant-like' atmosphere bring a very cottagecore ambiance to every study you may find. I got the Boba as a drink and unlike most place, how over charge for a small boba. It was very large for its prince (Speaking in normal rates for Boba tea these days) As they were sadly out the Passonifuit Surrey and was a bit confusing on there boba order. They still made up for it run the tase. The only other note is that it was a bit hard to find as the shop said COFFEE SHOP and not Haggerty's on it, only in small letters. DEFIANTLY COMMING HERE AGAIN!

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.

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!

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.

There is always plenty of room and the workers always do a great job of keep the tables clean throughout the day. For food, I got the chicken pesto wrap and it was amazing! So filling and such a good price for the amount of food. The bread is especially yummy especially when they toast it. All of their coffee is yummy but I especially love their honey pistachio seasonal latte! (Pro tip: if you're a student they have a student discount also!)
