Unfortunately, I waited almost 15 minutes for an iced coffee. The tall gentlemen in the food area stands around just staring at a screen while one (1) teenager manages the cashier and one (1) teenager manages the drinks and desserts. It's wild, makes me want to get behind the counter and help them out. Come on, why are you so lazy tall man! There was a line about 30 deep in both the pastry line and the cafe. It's bonkers that there are multiple adult employees unable or unwilling to multitask. My suggestion would be for the staff to chip in or hire additional staff to move things along.

On our visit to Lake Michigan, we wanted to visit a U-Pick farm. We were delighted to learn that it…read morewas strawberry season and Visser Family Farms was a short 10 minute drive from where we were staying! It started to sprinkle rain as we pulled up to park, but that clearly didn't stop people from picking strawberries as we saw a family walk away with baskets and baskets of strawberries. The girl at the U Pick Stand was the sweetest walking us through the different types of baskets to choose from, the cost, and the process before we were set free to pick our berries! There were SO many strawberry fields and so many good juicy strawberries to choose from! My toddler, my husband, and I had a blast even in the rain! My only regret was not picking more because when I finally ate one - it was quite frankly one of the best strawberries I've ever had. On our way back to the car, we noticed the blueberry farm. They looked like they were almost ready for blueberry u-pick season and sure enough, a week later they were open! I wanted to see what they had in their little market, so we pulled up front and I saw they had strawberry donuts for sale! I grabbed half a dozen and both my husband and I devoured one as soon as I got back in the car. The next few days, I air fried them to reheat them and they were EVEN BETTER. So fluffy, airy, and full of strawberries! We can't wait to come back in the future.

Honestly, such a fun stop on a short trip! My family and I…read morehad recently visited Holland with another family. We decided to do the most touristy thing you could do in Holland: blueberry picking. I am so glad we did because we had a blast! We went in the morning when it wasn't super hot yet and didn't have to pay anything to enter. We were given small buckets and instructed to pick in a certain field. And we were off! After about 30-45 minutes, we had all filled our small buckets with bright blue blueberries. After we made our way back to the main facility, our buckets were weighed and we paid. The total came out to about $15ish per family. After they had boxed up our blueberries, we decided to check out the gift shop. It was filled with fun blueberry gifts and even a cafe serving everything blueberry! This was such a fun experience and I'm glad we got to try it!

We visited in mid August, what happened to be their last weekend of blueberry picking. We'd only…read morebeen blueberry picking in Holland one other time and it was at a different farm. But it was already closed for the season. So we were so happy to find this location! We went shortly after they opened. We approached the table on their patio and they offered us a bucket and instructed us where to pick. There were only a handful of other people there, so we hand plenty of space to ourselves. At first I was disappointed because the berries were super tiny, which made me worry they would be tart. But they weren't! They were the sweetest, most delicious blueberries!! We took our little boy and he had THE BEST TIME. Blueberries are his absolute favorite, so I'm pretty sure this was a dream come true! We only picked about a half pound, but that seemed like so much! While I was waiting in line to weigh and buy, there were other people arriving to buy pre-picked. They'd buy HUGE crates - enough to last them through the winter. Mmmmm! The people here were extra sweet and friendly. So stop and have a chat after picking. You can also pick up a blueberry donut and get a cone of blueberry soft serve.

Reasonable prices for food and drinks as well. It can get REALLY busy though, so be patient. Especially busy in the morning on the weekend. It was fine during the daytime during the weekday. I bought some merch as well as food, including chocolate covered blueberries and a cute dog collar for my new puppy! (See picture). Got breakfast here twice and got the kids breakfast quesadilla, which was big enough for 2 people, in my opinion.

In the Dutch town of Holland, Michigan, there is a little café where the color blue feels less like…read morea shade and more like a way of life. Bowerman's on 8th is a love letter to the humble blueberry, written in the language of warm lattes, fresh pastries, and shelves overflowing with jars that seem to bottle summer itself. As someone with a dairy allergy, coffee shops can sometimes feel like places built for everyone else. But here there was kindness in the details--different milk options, thoughtful choices, and the feeling that everyone should be able to enjoy a good cup of coffee. Traveling from out of state, this was one of the places I circled on my map, hoping reality would match the stories. Somehow, it was even better. The blueberry latte was the kind of drink that slows time. Bright and refreshing, sweet without trying too hard, tasting like a morning walk through a Michigan orchard after the rain. Around me were cases filled with treats and shelves stacked with jams, syrups, and every blueberry creation imaginable, each one carrying a little piece of the region's soul. There is something beautiful about a place that chooses one simple thing and perfects it. Bowerman's does not merely sell coffee--it celebrates harvests, local traditions, and the quiet joy of gathering around a table. You leave with a warm cup in your hands, a bag of blueberry treasures under your arm and a feeling of satisfaction. Some places are worth the drive. Some are worth the hype. Bowerman's on 8th is both.
