I have, without exaggeration, eaten thousands of omelettes in my travels around the world. I have…read moreconsumed them in every nook, diner and restaurant that I have come across. I have had fantastic omelettes in my life and have become quite proficient at making them and had just about every combination imaginable. I ordered a western omelette at the Cattle Run Cafe a few weeks ago. It was 100 times better than any omelette I have ever had. It simple blew all our of the water. There was as much care and effort put into the seasoning and cooking the filling as there was in the actual compiling of the masterpiece. There were unimaginable depths of flavor! BEST STINKIN' OMELETTE ON THE PLANET! I will 10/10 be visiting again.

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

My friend told me about this spot so I decided to check it out while in the area for work recently…read more It's a cute, bright coffee shop with plenty of seating. I think it's maybe a wine/cocktail bar at night too? They serve coffee as well as crepes and sandwiches at breakfast. I wasn't hungry so I just got a mocha, which was tasty and served in a nice big mug. I was able to get a seat near an outlet which was nice. It looks like they may have some outdoor seating in the back for warmer months. The free wifi was fast and helped me get a lot of work done while I was there. Street parking was easy to find and I would come back to this cute shop sometime again! I'd love to try a crepe, they all sounded tasty and I loved the savory options.

They have a really great selection of drinks and food, enough to keep you going. We ordered a fireside mocha, l-shep. And then a ham and Swiss, turkey bacon ranch, and a lotus drink. Honestly no complaints the drinks and food were great. The turkey in my turkey bacon could have been heated up slightly longer but honestly the taste was great. They have wide surface tables which makes this place great for studying and working. Bonus they also had semi private rooms to use. Plugs and free wifi. The parking situation is great. The ambiance and music was enjoyable. The staff were super helpful and friendly. I will definitely come back.

Out of…read morerespect for the many patrons who were seated and sipping, noshing and visiting, there are no inside pictures to share. Know that the owner has taken pains to preserve and enhance the beauty of this older space. Wood burning fireplace in back seating area, gorgeous wood and glass door coolers and bakery case, tile flooring and lots of woodwork. Some nice bespoke items for sale including Wiley lotion and soap, locally-made incense and oils, and a few other dainties. Our cappuccinos were delicious and service was welcoming. Baked goods are sourced from Crust - a Michigan company that is delicious (Westborn and several other Detroit-area markets sell their Fenton-baked goodies). Noticed the bagged coffee beans for sale are from California. Wondering why not sell local Michigan roasted beans? Will return.

Manifesting the Perfect Latte (And It Worked)…read more Before I even stepped foot into Live Oak Coffeehouse, I closed my eyes and set my intention. I envisioned the perfect coconut almond milk latte--smooth, rich, subtly sweet, and crafted with care. I felt the warmth of the cup in my hands, the aroma wrapping around me like a cozy hug from the universe itself. I whispered to the cosmos: "Let this latte be everything I desire and more." And guess what? The universe delivered. I entered Live Oak with gratitude in my heart, and the barista--clearly an enlightened being--crafted my drink with the energy of a thousand good vibrations. The first sip? Pure alignment. The flavors danced in harmony, the temperature was just right, and for a moment, I felt like I had truly ascended. The ambiance of this place? Calm, inviting, full of positive frequencies. People chatted, read, worked, all in a state of peaceful flow. You could feel the creativity and good energy buzzing in the air. Some say you can't manifest happiness in a cup, but I'm here to tell you--you absolutely can. If you're ever in Midland, set your intention, walk into Live Oak, and let the magic happen.

Good coffee, friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere to chat with friends or even do some work…read more We were visiting Midland for a niece's graduation. We visited Live Oak Twice during our stay. They have a large selection of coffees that they roast themselves. Unlike a major chain, their coffee doesn't taste like burnt beans. The coffee had a nice flavor, with a strong finish that isn't bitter. Their syrups are also made in house. For the ones we tried, they were delicious. Not sugary sweet, so you can actually decern the various flavors. There was a board with the staff's choices, one being a Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, my partner enjoyed it and it was fantastic when she let me try it. I had both the Caramel Latte and Macchiato. I was pleased with both. Even though we didn't get any, they had a good selection of Gluten Free options. The food is also made in house, meaning that they make these gluten free options on their own. Unlike many other chains and local shops that don't have any Gluten Free options, even if they are resold versions of major brands. That shows a care for those in the community that either for medical reasons or by choice eat Gluten Free. The environment in the shop is warm and inviting. Whether you are having a conversation with friends, reading a book, or trying to work on your laptop you'll find an area for you. The staff was friendlier than what I expect from a coffee shop. Usually they will great you, but they're more about getting your order and moving on to the next customer. The staff here would answer questions and where informative. Surprisingly, many of them were knowledgeable not only about the coffee, but the business itself. Do not sleep on Live Oak Coffee. You'll regret it.

Their menu has a lot of options to choose from but I didn't find it overwhelming and they even have a wheel you can spin if you're super indecisive! Espresso Milano really captures the small town coffee shop vibe that I've been missing living in Metro Detroit. The place felt so cozy and I loved all of the plants, decor, and the warmth of the place. Tons of personality in this little shop. We chatted with Brad for a while and had a nice conversation about the shop and coffee and he was so kind and open to talking to us even though I'm sure he had closing work to do. Espresso Milano has been around for 31 years!! and I can see why even from this short visit. PLUS the coffee was delicious! Not too sweet at all, I love to be able to actually taste the coffee in my drinks. I would definitely recommend stopping in. It also seems like it would be a great place to have a chat with a friend or to bring a laptop to get some work done. I'll definitely be returning the next time I find myself in Midland.
