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!

When I moved to Ionia from GR over a year ago, I was worried that Biggby was my only option... I…read morewas so relieved to find Sozo. This is a real coffee lovers heaven. The staff is consistently friendly and fast, the baked goods are always bangin, and the atmosphere is super cozy. And the prices are very fair. This place is miles above any of the GR coffee shops I loved in every way. 10/10

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!

This was my first time at 7brew, and I didn't realize it's a drive through only! That explains why…read moreI couldn't find any online ordering option. When I pulled up, the shop was tiny and the drive through looked dreadfully long, but I hopped in the right line and was shocked at how fast it moved. I was in and out in under 10 minutes. Wild! The staff was super friendly, which made the experience even better. I will say when the staff arrived at our car, they never handed me a menu so I would be prepared to know what you want to order beforehand. I ordered two drinks: the Blondie with half sugar and the Typhoon (an energy drink). Personally, I didn't love the Blondie, it tasted more like straight milk to me and didn't really have much of a coffee kick. It might've been missing some espresso or maybe I just chose the wrong drink for my taste. The Typhoon, though, was really good! Very sweet, but delicious, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their energy drinks. I used to live in the area for college about 8 years ago, and this place definitely wasn't here back then so this is such a fun new addition! Overall, I'm glad I stopped by. Even with the long-looking line, the service was impressively quick, the staff was nice, and I think next time I'll try a different coffee or another energy drink

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.

You simply will not find a better breakfast in town…read more Wayland, Michigan is a small town in every regard and it's full of amazing people. The Auction House is quite literally all the best parts of Wayland, MI wrapped up in one dining experience. When you walk into this simple brick outbuilding of the livestock auction, you might be taken back by how tiny it is really is. About 20 seats wrapped around a U shaped counter. If all the seats are filled, just be patient and hang out by the door, something will open up soon. If you need seats together, it is not unusual to see a whole row of customers get up and shift their seats around to make room for you. That's just what you do because it's the right thing to do. Very Wayland. You'll also want to prepare yourself for small talk. When you sit at the counter, it's more like sitting at a giant dinner table in your kitchen at home. There's plenty of regular customers and it won't take long for you to become one yourself. Amy's food is outstanding and, trust me, you won't go hungry. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito, but people also go nuts for the HUGE pancakes and omelettes. Don't want a HUGE pancake? Ask for a little one...I dare you. See what happens. The burgers are also top notch. I love this place and the people who make it thrive. Belly up, and you will too!

They also sell slices of cake and other goodies - I got a piece of baklava which was perfectly crispy and sweet. There is plenty of parking in the lot, and it's attached to the amazing Super Green Market. They also have an outdoor patio which I'd love to enjoy in the summer. Moka Roots isn't super close to my house, but I'm glad I checked it out and will definitely be back in the future.

I went in looked at a few items The lady at the front was on top of things She greeted me as I came in the door and asked what I was looking for I was looking for nothing in specific I ended up grabbing two macaroons A cupcake and what I thought was a frozen white chocolate coffee. The building was incredibly crowded and incredibly loud parking was pretty limited except for the parking lot across the street in order to actually sit comfortably or do anything here you would have to bring headphones that have noise canceling Even after a big family left it was still incredibly loud and pretty cramped. The frosting immediately fell off the cupcake as soon as I walked out the door I thought that maybe I tilted it but it looks like it just ran down the side when I went to take a sip of my frappuccino I noticed that there was no white chocolate taste whatsoever and the three shots of espresso covered up any flavor possible All in all I don't know that I'd go back here again it was pretty affordable and if you want to bang for your buck it would be okay. If you need somewhere to study or to work that's quiet and peaceful and you don't want a lot of distractions this wouldn't be the place for you.
