If you want to make your trip to Michigan and your visit to Grand Rapids even more enjoyable,…read moredefinitely stop by Littlebird. Such a charming, atmospheric little place with beautiful presentation and wonderfully prepared food. The menu is small -- exactly as it should be at a place like this. The four of us ordered four different dishes and shared tastes of everything, and every single dish was excellent. And a little tip: order the tea! They source their teas from a specialty supplier, and you can tell they put thought into even the smallest details. The service was absolutely outstanding. Littlebird was one of those places that made our visit to Grand Rapids even more memorable.

It's my birthday weekend and wanted to treat myself to a luxurious brunch. Of course I chose…read moreLittlebird for the best French omelettes in the area. I adore crab so ordering that was a no brainer. Their coffee is strong. It took a ton of cream to change the color... though it was delicious with free refills for $5. The omelette was heaven. All the flavors melded well and I appreciated the crisp acidic salad to cut the richness of the omelette. My only critique is wishing the crab salad topping was a bit more decadent. For $21 I was hoping for big lumps of crab rather than cool shredded mayo based salad. All in all, I love this place, I love the concept. It was quite busy and was thankful to snag a seat at the bar. The service was friendly and quick. Best hipster establishment I've patronized in a long time. Make a reservation if you have a group or pray there is a seat at the bar. Keep doing your thang Littlebird!!

My sister gifted us a certificate a few months ago and we haven't had the time to enjoy it. I called and left a voicemail for reservations and got a call back within the hour (called around 5p). They're not open Sundays so we celebrated mother day 1 day early with a 4p reservation. On the return voicemail, we were offered a reservation with a request to be out before 6p (doable since 1 hour is the max we can sit in a restaurant before chaos ensues...you know, kids). Love this neighborhood restaurant - cozy, intimate, good eats. We played eye spy with their decorations (look for the 3 pigs and the lobster and the red glasses) and enjoyed 2 rounds of hot buns with really good butter before sharing the walleye and spaghetti. We have out of town foodies coming this summer and already decided this is the spot to take them! Thanks for fitting us in last minute on your busy Saturday!

Definitely come here for the experience. All of our food…read morewas yummy, nothing was crazy delicious. Our drinks were however awesome, I got a nonalcoholic citrus ginger mocktail, which was perfect for the summer weather. We got seats outdoors on their small patio. I think the whole appeal of this place is the farm to table with a limited menu. Definitely need a reservation because the place is small and I don't think they would be able to accommodate walk-ins because service is pretty slow. But honestly, that makes for a lovely two hour, almost European style dinner with multiple small courses and lots of drinks. They also have a dessert of the day which was a windmill cookie ice cream, which we did not try, but sounded lovely. Prices were very fair. I would definitely come back to try another daily menu.

There are so many options for breakfast and lunch (I've never been at dinner time) and the food is all actually really good. They have a little market area at the entrance where you can get grab and go items like fruit, packaged salads, snacks, and more. I love the hummus and cracker packs. My go to for lunches here are the chicken tenders and a build your own salad. The salad bar pretty much always has the same options, but I've got my combo down (spinach and whatever other lettuce they have, beets, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, feta, olives, broccoli, and balsamic vinaigrette). I do wish they had more options for other veggies, as they usually only have one hot veggie item. If you want comfort food, they always have burgers, fries, a great build your own sandwich counter, and rotating options like BBQ, Indian, Italian, etc. I've seen so much variety! They have desserts, lots of bottled beverages in the cooler, even locally made items. Packaged sushi too! The breakfast options are a bit more limited, but I've had their bacon and eggs and those are both good. Prices are cheap, and it's always busy at lunch time, but if you're at the hospital, it's the best option for food.

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 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!

She was friendly and helpful, giving great suggestions.

We will definitely return next summer with the hope that the work is completed, maybe sooner to enjoy a meal inside.
