Besides coffee, they have wine, beer, pop, and kambucha. I got the masala chai, which was nice and not overly sweet. For meal I got the hippie ki yay, and I enjoyed that flatbread, it is vegan. The spinach dip is also good but different than what you'd expect. It is not too creamy and has a little tangy taste. But I liked that a lot, so I enjoyed it. The ambiance is lively and energetic. There's a lot of seating available, and different types including a massive couch. It is noisy in there with everyone talking, but I dont think its too bad if you want to study there. They do have a stage where they have bands perform, they also have trivia nights. I hope to check out one of the trivia nights. There is a decent size parking lot in the back. This parking lot was filled on a Tuesday night, so its definitely a spot to go and check out. This is one of the best places I have been to in GR! Highly recommend it!!

I go to this Meijer all the time and finally stopped for a coffee here. The menu is pretty generous, most anything you'd find at any big name coffee shop. Lots of syrup options for lattes or teas, and various smoothies and milk shakes on the menu. Looked like they offer some specials too as well as a small food menu. They have a small but fairly cozy seating area- nice for enjoying a speciality beverage while someone shops! I just got a coffee with pumpkin syrup in it, nothing fancy. But it was tasty and fresh! I'd definitely try this cute shop again.

This recently opened coffee shop replaced the Starbucks that used to be inside the Meijer store in…read moreGrandville, MI. It's a lot less polished than Starbucks and pretty bare-bones. The tables look like they came out of an old diner and the chairs are what you would expect to find in a bingo hall or American Legion. None of the furniture looks new and some of it looks pretty beat up. The coffee itself tasted pretty good but they don't have anywhere near the selection of ingredients and variations that Starbucks had. I don't order extravagant coffee drinks so I suppose that doesn't bother me too much personally. But if you're the type that orders coffee with a bunch of complicated ingredients and flavors and such then you're going to be disappointed. My wife, for example, can only drink decaf coffee and they don't offer that at all (which just seems stupid for a coffee shop). Honestly, I'm getting a little tired of the Starbucks coffee monopoly and all the excessive and ridiculous coffee customizations they offer, but if you're going to replace Starbucks in a locale that gets thousands of shoppers each day you really should bring your A-game and shoot to fill those big shoes. This is more like the coffee shop you would expect to find in a community college student lounge. The bottom line: if you are just looking for a quick basic coffee fix while you shop this will probably be adequate (unless you want something complicated or decaffeinated). Just don't get your hopes up too high.

Burrito is packed full of hash browns, crispy bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese. The only downside to the Kevin Malone is that they use spinach instead of like a chopped lettuce for the burrito and the texture is a little overpowering. Plus, they don't chop the stems off the spinach, so I'd either order it without or pick some pieces out. I feel like the Brunchwrap has a thicker layer of it and as much as mixing in a green is smart, it has to be prepped properly in my opinion. Patatas bravas as a side were fire. The potatoes were roasted and seasoned well. It advertised a garlic aioli, but we did not get that. As with San Chez's patatas bravas, ask for the sauce on the side. It is a very good side of potatoes compared to the thinly, oddly sliced potato slices that came with the breakfast sandwich. They looked like apple slices and were sort of wet and soggy like them too. Nitpicking their spinach prep and refining their side dish of potatoes are really the only notes if someone from Mudpenny is actually reading this and got this far. Great breakfast spot and service was spot on.

I got a brown sugar shaken espresso latte and a steak bowl and both were fantastic. I was surprised by the latte not being too sweet like most places, and you could still taste the coffee. The only downside to this restaurant was the heat, it almost felt like there was no air conditioning. I will say there are tons of windows and nice natural light, so that could be the culprit. They do have a nice patio if the weather is right, unfortunately when I was there the smoke was considered hazardous, so eating inside was the best option. All in all, I would recommend anyone trying MudPenny if you like to eat good ingredients and drink great coffee!

Now, be aware, everyone is nice here... but this is farm country meaning: you will find mainly white older gentlemen in overalls and MAGA hats, you probably will be stared at if you look different (i.e. not white), and it's not uncommon to smell a gentle waft of manure around lunch time if they took a break from spreading that morning. Common questions I've been asked by other customers: "What church do you go to?" "That's an interesting book you're reading can you tell me about it?" "It's awful busy today, we should just share a booth." People are nice around here. It's conservative, but also surprisingly curious. Help bring some diversity and pay The Arrows a visit. You won't regret it. Take a look at their pastry shelf. It's almost quite literally, eye candy. Enjoy!
