First of all, I LOVE Gaia House Cafe, and used to go there multiple times a week back when it was…read moreon Diamond, and I still lived in GR. Now I can only go to the new Gaia when I visit. The food is still terrific. The atmosphere of the new place is dramatically different, but that's clean, being newer construction, polished and bright, unlike the old place, which was ragged around the edges and bohemian. The new place feels more like a restaurant you go to for a meal, pay, then leave, whereas the old one was a place you could bring a book and hang out at. All of that doesn't really matter because the important detail is that Rick, the original owner, gave the new owners the recipes, so the food is just as good. It wasn't easy for him to pass them along, but in the end, he did. If I'm remembering correctly, it seemed like today's Gaia has a couple of new dishes, like the Gaia Tempeh Reuben, plus their specials. But I could be wrong about that one. I love tempeh and had it at the old Gaia, but not in Reuben form. It's not a favorite. However, two of my favorite dishes are still the Mean Green Burrito and Veggie Stash. Rick used to offer a macrobiotic plate, but sadly, he got rid of that while I was still living there. I don't recall why. Maybe it wasn't popular enough. The new Gaia should try offering it again. See how people react to it now. Gaia still offers endless buckets of coffee. I love their fresh juices, like their Green Goddess (my favorite), Funky Monkey (I'll eat almost anything with bananas and chocolate mixed together), and mango pineapple. You can't go wrong with the pressed juices, especially their Hot Shot, a mix of lemon, ginger, wheatgrass, and cayenne pepper. Wooo! That'll start your day off right. I just love the intense bite from the lemon, ginger, and cayenne. I know the Jalapen-Yo-Business is probably much spicier, but it's most likely way too hot for me. However nostalgic I am for the old Gaia Cafe, the new Gaia House Cafe is an absolute winner and deserves your attention. Go for it and check them out. You might want to be a fixture there.

I've been to Gaia several times since they reopened in the Creston neighborhood back in 2021. The…read morevibe inside is bohemian and cozy, and the food is all vegetarian or vegan. I love going to Gaia when I feel like something healthy, so after a week of holiday indulgences I placed an online order for pick up. Online ordering was easy and I could log in to my Toast account which made paying a breeze. My order was ready at the time they said it would be. I got one of my standby dishes, the veggie stash: assorted steamed veggies, garlic, ginger, tamari, redskin potatoes or brown rice or both, topped with Michigan monterey jack cheese, scallions, and sour cream. I always get it with half brown rice and half potatoes, which is the perfect combination in my opinion. I also got the miso Caesar salad: mixed greens, tomato, Kalamata olives, parmesan cheese, toasted local bread points, miso caesar dressing. This was my first time trying this salad. Everything was packed nicely and looked delicious. Nate and I split everything and loved this meal. The veggie stash was tasty as usual, and we added a bit of hot sauce at home to round it out. I love that the veggies are all perfectly cooked and not mushy. I think I've tasted more ginger in this dish in the past, but it was still good. The salad was our favorite dish! The dressing was savory and creamy, and the toppings all worked well together. It was also a huge portion, but I was really hungry. I would definitely get this salad again, probably to split. Gaia also serves breakfast items, fresh squeezed juices and smoothies, and their famous Gaia cookies which are delicious. I love this little cafe!

And yes they do accept cards (no longer cash only). the owner (i'm assuming) was sweet and attentive. we can't wait to head back to little africa soon.

I met with three friends for dinner recently and we got the group platter for 4. It comes with all of the different dishes, including lentils, soy curry, greens, salad, and even two seasonal dishes - one with beets and one with squash. We all agreed that the squash was one of our favorites! I also got the Ethiopian tea, which is a warm fruity spiced tea that is perfect for fall. The ambience is homey, and service can be a bit slow as it is usually just the owner working and maybe one other person. That said, it's a wonderful spot and I always love the food, which is all vegetarian and vegan friendly. I'm not vegan but I'm always satisfied and I love the variety. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Little Africa! (Sidenote, I would still recommend calling ahead to confirm they're open.)

It was the first weekend after their off-season and the only people working were the husband-and-wife owners (she serves, he cooks). They handled our big group with such ease and kindness- it was seriously impressive. The service was wonderful, the food came out hot and fresh, and everyone in our group loved their meals. But I have to call out the biscuits and gravy... they were to die for. The biscuits were moist, clearly homemade, and the sausage gravy was hearty and perfectly spiced. I reheated my leftovers the next day and somehow they were just as good out of the microwave, which says everything about how well they're made. I live in Muskegon but will happily drive back to South Haven just for those biscuits and gravy. Creekside Kitchen is a gem, and I can't recommend it enough.

We stopped by around 1 PM on a Saturday! It was super busy and packed! I love that it's family-friendly! It was fun seeing all of the kids running around and playing games - there are SO many games (two full rooms) from air hockey to arcades games to darts to duckpin bowling to pinball machines to pool tables - they literally have it all! Our daughter enjoyed playing ALL the games while my husband and I enjoyed our beer flights and waited for our food! Food: Our daughter ordered the Kids Mac and Cheese with Kettle Chips. The mac and cheese was cold and dry and her kettle chips were cold and stale. She did not enjoy her meal at all! I wonder if her food sat out while my husband and I's food was being prepared as my kettle chips were more fresh and actually tasted good! I ordered the Cuban with Kettle Chips. This was probably the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had (and I have had quite a few Cuban sandwiches in my lifetime)! The pork was smoked and absolutely delicious and tender! They were not skimpy on the pork either (like some other restaurants can be when ordering a Cuban sandwich)! The bread was perfectly toasted too! My husband ordered Buffalo Wingdings. These were perfectly smoked and fall-off-the-bone good as well (maybe a little too fall-off-the-bone for a wing though)! However, the chicken wings still tasted great! Drinks: My Flight - Straight Forward, Grandpa's Hard, Bad Adz, BBA Wizard Potion, and Bogged Down. Husband's Flight - Stained Glass, Ripped Right, Bad Add, Rogue Red, and Simco. These were all good and we enjoyed them! We will definitely stop by again if we are ever back in the area!
