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!

We had to go to an appointment near Grand Rapids today. So my hubby wanted to stop by this bakery…read morethat was recently voted #1 Bakery in Michigan. Can I have anything... No ... Yeah I'm crying. But I ordered everything I would if I could. And my hubby tried everything. Do I think you should go out of your way Yes! Especially now when we have nothing to do but drive these days. Everything was freshly baked different unique flavors. We ordered one of everything basically. Got into the car my hubby tried a little bite of everything and then we actually went back in to get more of things so that we could share them with other people. They had a Malple Toasted Coconut Cinnamon Roll... I tasted the frosting it was delicious. The texture was super soft by feel. He loves them. We also got a four pack of regular cinnamon rolls which we haven't tried yet. They had a homemade oatmeal sandwich cookie that was pretty good, but not the best ever. Homemade nutter butter cookies. The frosting inside was a little sugary, I tasted that, but other than that he said it was a great mixture between crunchy and soft. They have a cappuccino donut... I tasted the frosting and the filling Oh my God... If I could eat them we would have ordered a dozen. And he agrees. The apple fritters... Amazing. We haven't tried the turnovers yet. They have Apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cherry And the scones looked amazing although we didn't actually get one. The baker really seem to know his stuff. As someone who cooks all the time and goes to restaurants and likes to try new restaurants and see what other people are doing I really appreciate the fact that he also does the same. He goes places, he tries things and it gives him new perspective. And it shows that he really is into perfecting his craft. Bottom line if you're in the area you should go. If you're not in the area and you have nothing else to do you should probably still go! Everything is great and fresh and they are super friendly and helpful As with everything there's always a con. My only complaint would be that the baker wasn't wearing a mask but maybe where they are, you might not need to. I don't know what the numbers are there.

I grabbed a pint and sat a spell and then took-away a growler of The Bishop (PB&J Porter?). It was really really good! I didn't try the food but I'm absolutely wanting to head back here. What I loved was the overflow room off the entrance. They had 8-12 picnic tables set up for their busy times that were pour-room adjacent. I saw some table games as I walked through to the main bar. So far this is one of my 5 favorite breweries in state offering great beer and a cool space(s) to enjoy said beer.

Bret Hart said he was "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there'll ever will be"…read moreWell, I hate to tell ya Bret, but I got some bad news for you ----- cause boy - you ain't got 'ish on Sweet Stop. HANDS DOWN. Definitely recommend anyone within in a 10 mile radius (- hell - even a 100 mile radius -) to take a little detour and make a stop at my favorite spot -- TRUST ME -- I GUARANTEE you wouldn't regret a damn thing. For a new little place, it's impressive how quickly they worked out them startup kinks and got their ducks in a row. Quick learners that they are, it's no surprise that, just as effortlessly, it's equally impressive just how much they've grown and flourished. I am genuinely looking forward to seeing what the future holds for this place - in a years time - 5 years time - hell A 100 YEARS - cause it's gotta be mindblowing. These folks' minds seriously know no limit and they're CONSTANTLY proving themselves -- challenging themselves and raising the bar - Skies the limit? Nah - the UNIVERSE couldn't stop them. (watch out GR Bakeries - you got some LEGIT competition with this lil mom and pop)

Would also be a good place to study. Pretty quiet. The staff was super friendly and helpful with suggestions and brought my coffee out to me.

Found out too you can reserve the room for slightly bigger meetings, maybe 10-15 guests so that's pretty unique and helpful for larger studies or workshops. Worth a stop if you're in BC!
