    New location alert! Morning Ritual has moved from the west side to the heart of downtown, at the corner of Lyon & Ionia. The new space is way bigger and brighter, with lots of natural light and space to hang out, get some work done, and enjoy a unique beverage + vegan breakfast sandwich! They also have a lot of fun art everywhere, as well as plenty of cute and irreverent items for sale. Loved the Snoopy stuff! Nate and I stopped in recently to get something from their summer menu - I tried the reaper: vegan caramel syrup, cream soda, espresso, and oat milk marshmallow vanilla cold foam. Nate ordered the sacred heart: lemon syrup, tonic, matcha, oatmilk marshmallow vanilla cold foam, with a dried lemon garnish. Phew! They were both very tasty, smooth and not too sweet. I always enjoy the opportunity to try something unique, and Morning Ritual has always provided that. Also, major points for taking our names for our drinks! Hearing "oat milk latte" and then seeing someone else take your drink is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to coffee shops. It's such a small thing that can make such a big difference and yes I will continue to write about this in every coffee shop review ever, lol. It looks like the space will serve as a music venue, and their sign also mentioned a photobooth, which wasn't there when we visited, so I'm excited to see what they will offer to the community as they continue to bloom in this new location. Parking: metered street parking is available nearby, be prepared to walk a bit!

    One of my favorite coffee shops moved locations and the new spot is so sick! Love how big it is and how amazing their aesthetic and decor look! Not only does it look cool, the coffee is still undeniably amazing! Love an iced mocha most of the time but theirs is perfect. The people working here are always sweet and I love that Definitely check out their new location when you can to support them:)

    I went to Morning Ritual for the first time after they opened in their new location. The space is incredibly open with lots of natural light, cool art, and even a customized photo booth. I've never been a coffee drinker but wanted to try getting into matcha. I decided to try the ube matcha cold foam latte with oat milk and vanilla. It was honestly one of my favorite drinks I've had! The ube was really nice and the drink itself wasn't too sweet nor heavy. They receive baked goods from Nantucket Bakery so you know they'll be good. The staff is always really friendly and pretty fashionable as well. I know they recently hosted a show with some great local bands so I hope they continue! I would definitely recommend coming here but taking the DASH, scooters, or walking may be your best bet on a busy day.

    I've always loved Morning Ritual since their first location, so I was super excited to finally check out their new spot while I was in town and it did not disappoint! The space is way bigger, and I love the fun decor. The snoopy accents and sonny angels are such a cute touch! I got my go to which is the ube matcha latte (love that it comes with oat milk), and grabbed a vegan muffin too. Both were delicious! As always, the barista was super friendly and helpful! I'll definitely have to come back the next time I'm in town!

    As soon as I walked in I was welcomed with a warm hello from the baristas. This place is huge I recommend teleworking from here. I told my barista it was my first time so she said I had to try the chai latte, so I got that for my wife. I also saw they had ube syrup so I ordered an Ube Egg Nog Latte. It was so good. The ube syrup they use is high quality, as a Filipino American I approve. As an American latte snob I approve of the flavors in the egg nog. The spices were rich but not overpowering and the ube syrup complimented it so well.

    Cute coffee shop! I got the pumpkin latte with almond milk, it was delicious. Plenty of space to sit and do work on your computer, very centrally located.

    Great Matcha latte! I had oat milk and sugar free vanilla syrup, it was good! I do wish they had more pastries available, they were almost out of everything and it was only about noon. It is a great coffee shop, very welcoming and quiet atmosphere.

    the witchiest coffee shop on this side of the Mississippi for sure. It is handicap accessible aswell. Morning ritual truly is something special in our backyard. The homemade syrups, the branding, the seasonal specials and the overall aesthetic keeps me coming in frequently. They have done both a tarot and zodiac beverage series throughout the years. I have throughly enjoyed both. The space itself is small when you walk in, but there is plenty of cozy space upstairs to work. Be aware this building is old, and sound does carry throughout. Very queer friendly and queer owned. They are also known for the events they host, which are always a joy to attend. My favorite is an iced violet latte with oat or coconut milk. If they ever get their mocha PB cold foam latte back I will cry. I love this spot, forever.

    Ube Matcha

    The Ube matcha is a whole experience of deliciousness! So smooth and creamy I feel like I'm in my happy place whenever I take a sip.

    What a gem of a place!! A friend had this gorgeous latte & I had an iced chai latte - delicious and priced lower than your "chain" coffee shops! Great atmosphere too

    Pure happiness with my Chai and bagel from Terra

    This is my all time favorite coffee shop. I'm not a coffee drinker myself, but I LOVE their Moon Milk & Chai drinks. The owner Alyx is super nice. The vibe is super cute, cozy & chill. They also have yummy pastries too. I moved to Ann Arbor and make sure I visit everyday I'm back in town!

    If Grand Rapids is too busy on your route, stop here for coffee that's even better than some of the downtown shops.

    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.

I love all of the natural light, music (Jack Johnson when I was there), and overall vibes. Enjoyed the pour over coffee (takes time) and they had almond milk I could add on request. 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.

    When the green neon signs are on, that means their coffee is freshly brewed and ready to go.

The pistachio syrup was legit - there were actual pistachio chunks and no fake pistachio extract flavor. i definitely would have preferred my drink sweeter though. i was also impressed by the drink to ice ratio. so many iced drinks are mostly ice but this matcha was FULL and not overly diluted with milk. i really enjoyed the flavor of the matcha itself as well. my partner said he'd give his latte a 9.1 out of 10. unfortunately there do not seem to be any vegan food options so it will be drinks only for us.

They were quite busy with every seat filled and we still got very fast service.
