    This is such a wonderful, blueberry filled, shop and restaurant. They hahe more blueberry themed things that you could imagine and everything i tried today tasted delicious. It usually is very busy in here and can get crowded so i'd recommend going after 4pm because it seems to die down then. The employees are so kind and accommodating, i ordered an iced blueberry latte and received a hot drink, they made me a new one right away and let me keep the hot drink to give to my friend. It is very pretty inside as well and there's a good amount of seat and it's split into a restaurant side and a shop side.

    Stopped in here before heading home. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's good to get there early- as we were wrapping up it was getting packed for Sunday brunch. We got the quiche and country hash. Both were quite good! The blueberry preserves were the best I've ever had!! A couple glass of their fresh juice washed it all down nicely.

    Blueberry BBQ Pulled Pork

    Stopped here for a weekday lunch. My husband had a bowl of the White Chicken Chili and the Caprese Grilled Cheese. He enjoyed the soup and the sandwich, but the servings were larger than he had anticipated. Half of the Caprese sandwich was lunch the next day. I had the Blueberry BBQ and it also was good and had a huge amount of pulled pork. I also got a second lunch out of half of the sandwich. On the way out, we got a bag of blueberry granola, blueberry dog treats, and a chocolate hazelnut pastry. My dog seemed to like the treats and we liked the granola and pastry. Our food arrived quickly. They also have a walk-up window and a dog-friendly patio.

    stopped down for breakfast with the girlfriend the other day after the farmers market. it was a very busy delivery quickly made our way to the front line to order food and drinks. I ordered the pancake stack with blueberries and bacon on the side. I got a frozen blueberry lemonade to go with it, which was super yummy. My friend got the avocado toast, which was huge and she also really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back again for breakfast !!

    Choose 2 lunch special - caprese sandwich & house salad, washed down with an iced tea!

    Stopped in for lunch on my way through Holland. It was quite busy but the line moved quickly. You order up at the counter then choose a table and they bring your food out to you but be sure to grab napkins/silverware before sitting down. Nice variety of seating from smaller tables to larger ones for groups and an outdoor patio as well. I was happy to snag one by the window :) There were a lot of tasty-sounding menu options, but I decided on the "Choose 2" lunch special for $14 and opted for the house salad and caprese sandwich. Both were delicious, I was just disappointed in the one tiny sliver of mozzarella on the sandwich and the very small salad portion. I also got a peach blueberry iced green tea, which was perfectly refreshing. In addition to their fresh menu, they also sold packaged food products like blueberry jam, honey, maple syrup, etc. which would make great gifts. Overall, I can see why this place is popular!

    Mimosa flight

    We went to this café on a really busy Saturday. The food came out pretty quickly and everyone enjoyed their lunch. You order at the counter and they give you a number and deliver the food, so it's not a full service restaurant. I was very excited to discover in the bakery they offer a gluten-free and vegan mini cherry blueberry pie that matched my dietary restrictions. It is very yummy! I would definitely eat here again as there were other items on the menu that I wanted to try. We enjoyed the power bowl, the chicken salad sandwich, and the blueberry pulled pork sandwich. We also enjoyed the hibiscus blueberry lemonade and a mimosa flight. There were lots of cute items in the gift shop and they offer a ton of baked goods for sale. Really fun place!

    What a neat place! If you love blueberries you have to visit Bowerman's. Nearly everything on the menu has blueberries! I ordered the Monte Christo and a blueberry donut latte. So delicious! You must come here while in Holland.

    Hands down Bowerman's is my favorite spot in downtown Holland!! It's so nice--right on the corner, lots of natural light and comfortable seating. The menu is so full of great choices---mine is the BO8 smash burger! Who would think to put a swipe of blueberry jalapeño jam on a burger. I'm not saying my favorite in Holland; that's my all time favorite burger (forgot to take a picture of the burger) ANYWHERE! The other thing I love is their blueberry hibiscus lemonade!! I got one of those everyday we were there. Wish I knew how to make it!! The people working there are so nice--truly great service. Would love to have a Bowerman's way down south in Mississippi!

    Love the blueberry theme! This was a nice place for breakfast during our trip to Holland. I had a blueberry donut latte, and it was very good! Tasted like a blueberry donut! I got the potato cake, which was good as well! Had a nice crispy outside and cheesy inside. The person who took our order seemed a bit harried, but the people that brought us our food were very warm and friendly.

    On a weekend afternoon this place is very busy. We waited in line to get some baked goods and the blueberry soda. The blueberry scone was surprisingly savory and salty and the blueberry hand pie was very sweet. I would have enjoyed the blueberry hand pie better without the icing on top. We also got the blueberry soda which was delicious. It seems they have a lot of options on their menu - so much so it was slightly overwhelming. If you're coming on a weekend expect it to be quite crowded.

    Peanut Butter Brownie
    Kayla D.

    Bowerman's is your blueberry destination on the lakeshore. You can get anything from a donut, coffee, and even salad with blueberries sprinkled throughout. I opted for the peanut butter brownie which was absolutely heavenly/rich and reminded me much of a classic holiday dessert, peanut butter ball - so good!!

    Bleu Berry Salad

    The food is always delicious and worth the wait! I've had many items off of their menu and have never been disappointed. It's a Holland staple.

    We came during Tulip Time when they are open extended hours. They only semi post they are open extended hours. They need to post the hours on their door. We were walking by and saw people inside so we stopped in. We went after the Dutch dancers performed. We had dinner prior and now it was time for dessert. They had a flight of cheesecake: lemon, blueberry, cookies and cream, and a fourth kind. My favorite was lemon. My second favorite was cookies and cream. I wish they had individual size cheesecakes. I would have ordered the lemon one. I reconfirm this place for dessert. It's spacious and very clean.

I was surprised it wasn't very busy, as it was a very bright and welcoming spot. I loved all the plants and natural light. The menu had some really delicious sounding specialty lattes, but I went with a basic oat milk cortado, which is my go-to these days. I sat at the front window on a short and surprisingly comfortable stool. The wifi was free and fast, and my cortado was smooth and delicious. (I do have to note that they did not take my name for my order, just called out my drink, aka my biggest coffee shop pet peeve. But this does not affect my coffee shop ratings!) They have some food options like waffles, but it looked like they only serve those until 1 pm. I also saw a cocktail menu, which was intriguing! I like a good coffee shop/bar combo. I would definitely come back to this cute shop the next time I'm in the area!

    So...I was the one who made the executive decision to come here, and I stand by it with zero…read moreregrets. Why? A little homesickness, honestly. We have quite a few Foxtail Coffee Co. locations back in Florida, and I've become unreasonably attached to their coffee. It really is that good. It has all the hallmarks of a great cup: smooth, rich, creamy, and somehow capable of making me feel awake before I've even taken the first sip. I'm convinced the steam alone contains caffeine. It's the kind of coffee that starts haunting your thoughts around mid-morning at work, whispering promises of clarity, motivation, and the strength to answer one more email. At this point, if I'm in a town that has a Foxtail Coffee Co., I will find it. Even if a Starbucks is standing across the street, staring me down like it owns me after our decades-long relationship. And to be clear, I'm not here to bad-mouth Starbucks -- we've had many loyal years together, and I still go with the same enthusiasm I had with my first cup. But when Foxtail is nearby, my allegiance shifts faster than my willpower in front of a pastry case. After all, "variety is the spice of life"... I think that's the quote. Don't hold it against me; I was writing this while waiting for my coffee and had not yet been properly revived. Here's the best part: this was the first visit for several people in our little group, and I'm pleased to report they were immediately converted. No dramatic intervention or miraculous event needed. Everyone loved it. The coffee impressed them, the atmosphere hit exactly the right note, and its coffeehouse charm felt unique and genuinely comfortable -- a little more homey than many places that try too hard to be trendy. Suddenly, I looked like some sort of caffeine prophet, leading weary travelers to the promised land of espresso. It was a unanimous win and exactly the recharge we needed before continuing our exploration of Holland during the Tulip Time Festival. If you're in town and need a break from walking through endless tulips while pretending your legs aren't giving up, stop here. Your coffee standards may permanently improve, and that's a risk worth taking.

    We came here on a rainy day after going to the nearby tulip festival and exploring downtown…read moreHolland. All of us were cold, tired, and ready for an afternoon pick-me-up, and Foxtail delivered! I thought $7.15 was a little steep for a small chai, but I did get the seasonal blueberry muffin flavor, so that explains the uncharge. It was tasty! I give our experience only 4 stars because I thought that the service could have been a bit better. The place was extremely crowded, so I give the baristas some sympathy there. However, they messed up the food order of the woman before me, then messed up the order of my friend who ordered behind me. My friend asked for a hot chai but received it cold; then, when she politely showed her receipt and asked for her hot drink, they refused to remake it for her. I would still recommend this place, but I would be wary of going during a busy time of day.

The food is good, but not usually worth these long wait times imo. Today, was a cloudy and cold Wednesday mid morning. The place was busy, but no long wait times. The food is always good. Everything I've ever eaten on the menu is good... but I have a special affinity for pig 'n the blankets, banket, and any Mexican inspired breakfast item in the menu. Today I had the chorizo Benny. It was fabulous and worth the $15 imo. Our waiter, Pedro, was the best! He's worked there for over a decade and knows the family that runs this restaurant--- 3 Dutch brothers--- he gave me a run down on the lore and all the pictures are of their family photos hanging around the restaurant. I think that's pretty cool. They will be opening and expanding into a new restaurant location on the corner of River and Lakewood Blvd sometime in the near future. That location will have more of a "hipster" vibe with breakfast cocktails, etc. Check them out when you want... but if you don't want to wait come during off peak hours and off season times. Make sure to peruse their bakery for some goodies to take home. Salud.

Inside the cafe is a gift shop filled with art, apparel, and fun local items like shirts and sweatshirts, which was fun to browse. You place your coffee order at a little window outside, at least during the fall when we visited; I am honestly not sure how it works in the winter months. When we arrived, there was a decent line of people waiting, which we took as a good sign. Clearly, this spot is popular. I had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded good, but I ended up choosing the Harvest Moon Latte ($6.25). It had a good mix of brown sugar and spice flavor, and I did enjoy it overall, but the espresso was slightly more bitter than I typically prefer, and the drink was not very sweet despite the brown sugar flavor. Ultimately, I am glad I ordered it hot because the whipped cream on top melted into the drink and added a bit of sweetness, which helped balance the flavor. The staff did an excellent job handling the crowd and keeping things moving smoothly, even with a lot of people waiting for drinks. Since we had a large group, we were lucky enough to grab seats at the long outdoor table with swing seats, which was such a fun and unique feature. The outdoor seating area, in general, is cool and adds to the laid-back, artsy vibe of the cafe. Overall, Woosah is a great stop for coffee with a fun atmosphere and unique setup. It is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

You can't go wrong. That's about all I can fit (and afford) on a weekly basis, and know that there's so much more deliciousness...and plants. There's a lot of those too!
