It was pretty busy when we went but found parking an a table to sit at. My sister stopped in to work for a little bit and grabbed coffee and a pastry. The muffin I got was really tasty, moist, and I would buy it again and my coffee was also really delicious. Because it was busy it was an energetic atmosphere but I was still able to work efficiently while there. Overall the staff was fantastic, our orders were delicious, and I would recommend visiting if you have the chance!

This was a lovely coffee shop. I got a berry flavored hot tea that was amazing. My husband wanted to buy the caramel sauce because his caramel latte was so good. They don't sell it, but if they ever start we will buy some.

Delicious Rosemary Cappuccino… & amazing service!! Super busy inside, but the staff were very kind and extremely prompt in their wait times for drinks. What a cute little district with the bakery next door!

One of the best coffee shops in Grand Rapids. Their olive oil cake is delicious, but also highly recommend grabbing a croissant next door and getting a cafe miel here. It’s usually busy so arrive early to grab a spot!

One of my favorite places to come have a coffee and get a little work done. Great atmosphere where I feel relaxed. It can get busy and there is not a ton of seating. BUT in the winter they do have warm little huts outside you can use when you purchase something. Overall I highly recommend stopping in…it was also about 3/4 of a mile walk from the hospital which is super handy if you are at the hospital a lot!

I had a holiday special, peppermint matcha. It was very well done and the latte art game was strong. The cafe was quite busy so plan accordingly!

Great little neighborhood spot for coffee, pastries, and remote work. Indoor and outdoor seating. Try the earl grey latte - comforting and just the right amount of honey and vanilla sweetness.

Cute, but small space. The baristas were very quick considering how many people were there when I went! I had a simple mocha and it was good. I did not try any food, but they seem to have a good collection of snack items.
