I visited The Exchange Coffee Bar recently and it was an okay experience…read more The barista working was very quiet and not super cheerful. It seemed like she did not want to be there that day. Maybe she was having an off day and that's okay! But it made for an awkward experience. The music was very loud, and that was the reason I decided to leave. The seating is unique. Most of it is high tops. There is a couch area and 2 tables that are regular tables. It is a small space and the design is nice, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's cozy. I had a Valentine's special, a red velvet latte. It was okay. The cheesecake cold foam was the best I have ever had, but the latte itself tasted so artificial like maybe it had too much red velvet or something? Not sure! Maybe it would be better if I gave it another try sometime! I wish them great success though!

Seemed like a clean and quiet place to enjoy a drink, baked good, or sandwich at. I asked if they could make any of their fun seasonal drinks vegan. After some back and forth between four different staff members, they said their spinach, feta, egg bites were an option. Confused, I said, "Egg is not vegan. Cheese is not vegan." One of the staff responded, "That's good to know!" Finally, the manager (maybe?) landed on this response: "We can't do any of our seasonal drinks vegan, we also do not serve any vegan food. Our only vegan option is a cold brew with almond or coconut milk." I ordered a cold brew with a splash of almond milk and a tiny (emphasized multiple times) squirt of flavored syrup (a brand I knew was vegan). They didn't know how to make it. I heard two of them trying to figure out what the ratio of coffee to milk was. I ended up with a cup of iced almond milk, topped with some cold brew, and a thiiiiiiick layer of syrup at the bottom. It was like drinking cake. If you're vegan, heads-up. If you're a person who wants any adjustments made to your coffee order, heads-up. If you like coffee forward drinks, heads-up. It seems they have a dedicated/set menu and really don't or can't veer from it.

This coffee shop is cool because it is connected to a market that sells clothes, jewelry, local goods, etc. Although there is only a small seating area, you can enjoy your drink while you shop, take it to go, or head to a nearby park. The staff are always friendly here and I love that they have matcha and oat milk (whereas the other local coffee shop does not). I will continue to stop here every time I need a little pick me up on my drive through here. Newaygo is becoming such a charming city and it's because of places like this opening.

The servers were very friendly and patient while we took our time ordering. I got something off the menu but I don't remember what it was. I know that it had lavender and vanilla in it. I will say, the reason for three stars is the coffee was SO SWEET. I usually like sweet coffee, but this was a little too much for me. If I go back I would probably order a normal latte instead of something off the menu, but if ultra sweet coffee drinks are your thing I'd definitely recommend.
