What a beautiful coffee shop! I love the open and bright feeling. There are a variety of seating…read moreoptions - soft seating, a few 2 & 4 top tables, bar/counter seating, and the most beautiful long table with plants set out on it surrounded by log style seating with cushions. So many cozy places to vibe. It's possible to reserve little sections of the shop for group events too. The menu is standard coffee shop offerings and I loved the espresso spritz that I got - I've never had a coffee that made me feel like I was drinking a cocktail before! The baked goods were high quality and tasty. The barista crew was super kind and friendly. They seemed to enjoy working together and went out of their way to be chatty and friendly towards me. Their little merch selections was super hard to resist - they sell cute totes and cups including clay cups which was unique. I loved their community focus and sustainability. Definitely check out Aldea if you're in the area - it's a beautiful space to be.

Everything tasted phenomenal and we relaxed for a better part of an hour drawing, reading, and taking in the smell of live plants while listening to soothing cafe tunes. Across the way there is a beautiful boutique store with cute clothes and jewelry. They had paper bags to decorate for the kid's food basket along with print offs for kids to color. I loved their little library of books to curl up to. This place felt like a refuge to sit, relax, and be creative. Thankful these places exist. They make a killer cappuccino- reminded me of Italy. Strong and small. Definitely check out this place if you need to be caffeinated or want a gf cookie. I like it the most for the vibessssss.

I love Aldea! I have to come here whenever I'm in Grand Haven…read more The location is great, right in the center of downtown on Washington Ave. Staff have always been nice and drinks and baked goods are great too! It's a certified B corp which means all their ingredients are sustainably and ethically sourced! That's a big plus! The place is so nicely designed with so many places to sit. Big beautiful windows let in lots of sun and natural light. I love sitting outside in the summer taking in the energy of downtown. You can tell this place really puts a lot of effort into caring and supporting their local community! This is the ideal local coffee shop. Although I've never been, they also have a location in downtown Muskegon!

I had high hopes for this place after seeing the reviews. We went in on a Saturday morning, there…read morewere a couple people in line and a couple people waiting for their items. There were only two people working, one making drinks and one taking orders. The man making drinks was focused on making one drink at a time which caused us to wait over 20 minutes for one drink. Once he made the drink, he sat it on a table and made the man taking orders call out the drinks which resulted in drinks sitting there for 5+ minutes after they were made. I watched him make my drink and he only put one shot of espresso in it, entirely too much milk, and about 5 ice cubes. I took about 3 sips before throwing it away. Overall, it was a really disappointing experience. The place was cute but it doesn't make up for exceptionally slow service and poorly made drinks.

I love coffee shops, so I always get excited when I can try a new to me spot, like The Borough. I…read moredon't get to Allendale very often (maybe twice a year) so when I was heading to Grand Valley's campus for an event recently, I made sure to allow extra time to stop by. The parking lot in front is pretty small, and there is only one access point, so if you go past it, you'll have to turn around near the apartments behind it. Don't drive on the sidewalk... I didn't, mostly because there is a sign that says, "This is a sidewalk" which made me laugh. (Truly that should be an entrance into the parking lot!) The space is very bright and airy with cute decor and space to get some work or studying done. I was greeted right away when I walked in and I had a tough time deciding what to order. I wasn't hungry, but I love that they have a full on food menu - including salads, burgers(!!!), bagels, toasts, paninis, pastries, etc. Plus all the regular coffee items, boba, smoothies, and teas. I went with one of the seasonal specials, the banana bread matcha. It didn't take too long to come out and it was very tasty - not really what I was expecting, but I liked it. It reminded me of a very green banana (which is how I prefer bananas), it wasn't super sweet but also not super matcha-y. They are expanding their space, so I am interested in coming back to see what that looks like and to order more delicious drinks and try the food!

Eggs, perfectly cooked, biscuits and gravy, sausage, sandwiches, all hand made fresh. Specials from around the world change everyday if you are a more adventurous diner. On weekends they serve artisan pizza, not gas station greasy, as good as Chicago or Detroit, and other specials from their outdoor smoker. The atmosphere is green, peaceful and country, surrounded by a farm. The service is personal and not rushed. It has a drive through but its charm is meant to be absorbed at a Croton pace. Sit down, watch the hummingbirds, hear the donkeys bray in the distance. Enjoy great food, maybe even listen to some acoustic live music. There is only one of these in the world. Do yourself a favor, experience something unique and delicious in a setting that is blissful.

Don't bother going anywhere else for coffee if you're near Ionia, Sozo's should be your first and…read moreonly stop. I've been to a lot of coffee shops in nearby cities and big cities around the country and Sozo's is just as good if not better than any I've visited. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the environment is really laid back, with lots of space to sit and work or meet with friends, coworkers, or classmates. They source their own beans, and make their own baked goods in house. I'll often order their drip cause it's so good, but I also love their pour over, the Nutty Irishman, or just a plain Cortado. And I always keep their beans on hand for home. Please visit, enjoy, and support Rodney and Mindy and this small/local business!

Got quick service and drinks appeared, the hot cider warmed us all up just from a taste test, and my Opal latte was great for feasting on sugar and java.
