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. Goood rich coffee with the perfect amount of sweetness!

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.

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.

Must check out! Grateful to have discovered on Yelp! I don't explore downtown often, and was…read morelooking for a nearby coffee shop to work at in the morning (saw in pics there were many outlets available). 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.

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!

Scorpion Hearts Club is a great place for community, drinks, and finding something to do! They host…read moreso many great local organizations and even allow me to host my community bake club there monthly! There are constantly free events to promote the space as a third space with no pressure to have to buy anything; however, the drinks and local art are well worth it! The staff have been very kind and helpful and are great to talk to. I love what they do as a business and how they continuously support their community. I definitely suggest you stop by and even just hang out.

This is my go-to coffee spot in Grand Rapids! It has plenty of seating options both inside and…read moreoutside and the vibes are ALWAYS good. They don't play music way too loud like so many joints do and the employees are always pleasant. They sell a lot of local art and there is always something unique and fun to check-out. I almost always get one of their seasonal drinks because they are all amazing, but if I don't I get the Killer Queen. I have been there dozens of times and have NEVER had a drink that disappointed me. I love bringing friends there and it's always the first place I recommend when people wanna get coffee.

The lower-level is darker and cozier so it's great to dial in some work. Staff seemed friendly enough, but nobody went above and beyond by any means. Not the best coffee in downtown IMO, but not horrible either.

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!!!

A very conveniently placed coffee shop in the Kingma's Market. It's quite small, so I would refrain…read morefrom coming here to get work done, but overall pretty good coffee. It's more on the pricey side for a latte, but they make their efforts in presentation. They have their own pink mugs, and the coffee art is done well! Sometimes I think coffee shops can make their stores look a little too busy with decoration. I believe that simple is often better. The staff was kind, making sure we were take care of. In the GR coffee scene, it's in the above-average category.

Cutest pick me up? Don't mind if I do!…read more I have to admit, I'm totally biased because I live right around the corner... but also, this truly is the cutest coffee shop in the Creston/Riverside neighborhood. It's connected to Kingma's, but also stands on its own. Their baked goods come from Lucy's, which is right down the street. Their coffee is always rich and leaves you wanting more. The prices are on the higher side, but it's our splurge every so often. Perfect place to work if you need a change of pace. A cozy, but trendy spot. And the baristas might be the friendliest in town.

She asked for a drink with caramel and was told they didn't have that either. I understand being out of stuff but the tone and rudeness made it seem we were an inconvenience. I ordered an iced coffee and got a hot coffee instead. I was so disgusted we left and went to foxtail coffee down the road in the Amway Grand. Don't waste your time with Madcap.

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.

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!

The coffee and tea drinks are made one at a time, no big rush, no need to hurry and get out of the way...a very cool bonus really! I didn't feel like a number. I felt like a visitor being welcomed into a home, chatting it up as I waited for my iced Chai beverage. As I waited, I explored the shop and saw there was not only an emergency food pantry with hygiene products, there was a lending library for books and games! Lotus Brew was a place that actually CARES! I recommend you stop in to order a drink or drop off some foods or hygiene products for the pantry. The Barista/Owner is friendly, kind and makes some great recommendations to local shops and restaurants as well! I plan to visit again next time I travel to Grand Rapids area.
