This is my favorite brunch spot in Grand Rapids. Vibe is so good and the service is fantastic. Yesterday I had the Kevin Malone and it did not disappoint. The eggs were perfectly creamy, spinach gave it a great flavor boost, and the sauce is stellar. Legitimately the best breakfast sandwich I've had in the last 12 months. My wife had the everything toast and it was on point too. Coffee was great with flavors notes of Milk chocolate and a hint of orange zest. Pistachio latte was so good as well. read more

A short 5 minute drive past scenic downtown Grand Rapids brings you to this excellent spot for breakfast and coffee. Plenty of parking, which was a pleasant surprise. Inside, the building is rustic and memorable, with whitewashed raw brick walls and a very vintage tin ceiling - definitely a very classy look! Service is fast and efficient. The BYOO (Build Your Own Omelette) is fantastic! Lots of flavor and plenty of ingredients. Where I'm from, it's hard to find restaurants that offer goat cheese, which is one of my favorites in an omelette. This one did not disappoint. The potatoes are cooked perfect with a nice crust on the outside, and seasoned simply, but perfectly. Overall this place is a great find and we'll be back again during our trip to Grand rapids! read more

Perfect little breakfast spot to fuel ourselves before we hit up the antique stores around the corner! Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The space itself was clean and inviting. The food was great-- the tiramisu cappuccino was ammmmmmmazing. My wife ordered the chorizo wrap-- she loved it. And I had the breakfast sandwich. The only "eh" was the bread was just so heavy for the sandwich. BUT, those side potatoes were epic. But aside from that, com hungry and definitely check them out! read more

One server to take an entire Saturday morning is unreal. We waited over 30 minutes for drinks from the coffee bar and 50 min for food. However, the food was very good, so I won't complain about anything other than understaffing. The coffee was also good. read more

I loooved it here! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. We came on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. Their menu is categorized into two sections, heads (food for the body) or tails (food for the soul), which I thought was so fun. I ended up ordering from the tail side. To drink, I ordered a coffee off of the specials menu, the sunny bunny, which was delicious but also looked very pretty. To eat, I had the brunchwrap. It was insanely good! It was a Crunchwrap-style breakfast wrap with avocado, veggies, eggs, cheese, and hash browns. Sooo good and very filling. My only complaint is that our food actually took really long time to come out, even though the place was relatively empty and there were only three people in our group. But, it was my first time here so I'm not sure if that's a common thing. Either way, I'd recommend! read more

Love this spot for brunch. I've been a few times now. My most recent visit was early on a Sunday morning so there was no wait to sit down. Parking is just street parking and I usually don't have any issues. I had a brunchwrap and added sausage and it was so good. I definitely would order this again. They also have great coffee drinks. Their menu is a little pricier but I think the quality is worth it! read more

I was so excited to try this brunch spot! A cozy space tucked in an unassuming area. Upon entry we were greeted by the hostess and seated quickly. I noticed that there was only 1 server for the whole restaurant which caused our service to be a bit delayed but she did a great job nonetheless. The restaurant had a chill vibe with minimal decor and a quiet noise level. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend this brunch spot to anyone! Food: BYOO with Ham, spinach, peppers, and white cheddar. All ingredients were fresh flavorful. A beautifully prepared omelette that was filling and tasty! read more

Disappointed. Just moved to this area and was looking for breakfast / brunch. Went to Grand Rapids location. Extremely slow service - which gave us time to look at the cleaning that needed to be done. Dirt / dust / food under benches & tables. Each table has its own water bottle - most needed to be cleaned since calcium build-ups on inside of all the bottles around us. Long wait for coffee after order (plain black coffee). Long wait until order taken. When food did come out, was obvious it sat in Kitchen for some time before brought to as most of it was cold / barely warm. Tough to excuse as they were not busy at all and plenty of staff. In my opinion manager needs to step up and get focused on cleanliness & service. wont be back to this location read more

Their honey iced latte is delicious! I order it with oatmilk and prefer it over the whole milk. 10/10 read more

Ordered breakfast from MudPenny via DoorDash and it was amazing! I had the Miel (espresso, honey, cinnamon) to drink and the Kevin Malone breakfast burrito. Both were absolutely delicious. The breakfast burrito is quite large and lasted 1.5 meals for me. Although it was DoorDashed, drink was still warm and the food was fresh. I can't wait to try some other options from their menu! read more

This is one of the best brunch places I have been to, in GR. I left today and could not stop thinking about my next visit! I loved that there was a small parking lot, in addition to street parking. We went in around noon and there was a small wait. Once seated, our service was quick. Our server was very friendly. I loved my cappuccino! I had the Fire Toast and my friend got the Angela Martin. We both cleaned our plates. I loved that they used a local place for the bread. Field and Fire is one of my go-to's for fresh baked bread. I can't wait to come back. read more

Came here on a Saturday around 11:30am and was able to get a table for 2 without a wait. The interior has a nice industrial/rustic vibe to it. There's a counter to order drinks/pastries to go. We ordered the steak and eggs, cinnamon roll pancakes, and brunchwrap with bacon. Everything was a 5/5! They were out of the vanilla custard for the pancakes, and I asked if it was still the same price; at first I was told yes, but then they ended up taking 15% off, so that was nice. The brunchwrap came with a garlic aioli which went surprisingly well with it since there's crispy latke inside! Definitely will be coming back here when I'm in the area. read more

Met a friend here for brunch and it was really mellow and the service was great. I got a matcha latte with the chicken salad Sammy. The matcha latte was on the smaller side for the price but it was tasty and perfect for a morning brunch. The chicken salad Sammy was delicious on the naan and did not make it soggy as leftovers later. The parking was not a problem because it wasn't busy but the lot is a bit small. Overall, I had a great experience here. read more

Their breakfast burritos are amazing!! Whether you do takeout or dine in, it does not disappoint. Cool vibe inside too!

Food was good, a tad bit bland but I think that's a Michigan thing can always find something . Unique here which I like. Was a little disappointed the friend I was eating with was given attitude when questioning gluten free items ( she actually does have an allergy) but overall I would say The service was decent. Not a place I would drive to but would stop In if I was in the area. read more

Mudpenny has a couple of locations around Grand Rapids. This downtown location is in an interesting location! Upon driving the the location, I wasn't sure Google Maps had taken me to the right place... but it did. It just felt like it was in the middle of a very industrial location. I got the Patatas Bravas and it was good! It was a flavorful dish, and it was presented beautifully. Honestly, I wish they had two eggs in that dish, instead of just one. The percentage of the eggs vs the potatoes was a bit off for me. I finished the egg in a flash, and the rest of the time I was just eating potatoes, which constituted at least 85% of the dish. But the dish was still good! The waiters there were really great though. Super friendly and helpful. The ambience was cute and clean. There is street parking! read more

What a great location in Rockford! Atmosphere is very nice but the food for dinner at least, leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered the fish and the portion size was tiny, actually shockingly so. My husband's fish tacos were almost inedible. We were the only table in there at dinner while everywhere else in town was busy. Good for breakfast but we won't be back for dinner. read more

Looking for your next brunch spot? I hit up the GR location of Mudpenny for the first time this weekend, and they checked off all my brunch needs! They're not a huge place, so I was pretty shocked at how easy it was to get a table on a Saturday morning. I also didn't realize they had their restaurant on one side and coffee/cafe on the other, but I thought it was definitely convenient for people who just wanted to drop by and grab a pastry and a latte! I tried their pistachio twist latte and it was *chefs kiss*. Not too sweet, but perfectly flavorful. For food, I ordered the Kevin Malone breakfast burrito. This boi was thick, and the fact that I managed to eat the whole thing is a testament to how tasty it was I added a little hot sauce for an extra kick, and 10/10 would recommend. My friend had the muddy cristo (and I ended up eating her leftovers so I can comment on it ). The perfect take on a monte cristo!!! I ate it without the syrup that's served on the side, and the french toast pulled its own weight in sweetness. read more

Great brunch spot. We ordered the pesto chicken wrap ($18) and Kevin Melone breakfast burritos ($19) Both of us were very pleased with the food and flavor. It was full on a Saturday morning but we were seated upon arrival. We also ordered a bourbon maple cold brew. ($6) read more

This literally filled me up the whole day. I chose the brioche for my French toast bread, and almost subbed the ham for a different meat (not a big ham fan). Glad I stuck with the o.g sandwich. The only thing I'd take away next time is the aioli/mayo sauce that's on here. I just feel like that flavor component didn't pair as well with the ham/cheese/syrup flavors already happening. It comes with a fried egg as part of the sandwich; I'll have to remember to ask for it sunny side up next time. Overall, very happy with this "to-go" order. read more

Tucked away on a back street in an unassuming building lies a foodie's paradise. First time in here made me instantly sad I lived out of state and won't be able to come here often, cuz this place is amazing! Great coffee selection, awesome menu, so many tasty sounding items it was hard to choose! I was torn between the French toast and another item and my very friendly waitress helped me decide. Great interior too with an excellent mural in the dining area. So go here for great food, great service, and great ambiance. :) read more

Found this place and decided to try it for breakfast. It's nice inside. They have a full coffee bar. I had a regular coffee which was good. The eggs Benedict was perfectly prepared. The server was very friendly. My only criticism is the high prices. It was almost $30 counting the tip. That is very expensive for breakfast. The portions are very big and I left full. I would definitely come back. read more

Parking lot behind the restaurant. Enter by the coffee bar and barista area. It's a chilled place. Cool and fun Lincoln homage wall art by the bathroom. Hannah is waiting on us today. She seems nice. I don't see an granola or was it an oatmeal pic I saw here. We were ready to order, but Hannah wasn't back to us until after she took another table's drink orders, took CC from another table and brought some items to a 3rd table. She's rather busy in our section. Ordered a green bancha tea and a maple bourbon latte (comes with oat milk) first. Then ordered a brunch wrap and the wild card, but I subbed turkey slices for the homemade sausage and requested the torn biscuit on the side. $52.21. No longer have any salads at the moment and no granola or oatmeal either. The maple bourbon latte is good. The brunch wrap was good with the chicken and garlic aioli. We both liked it this dish best. The wild is different, needed more flavor than just the garlic aioli. Lots of nice veggies. Brussel sprouts, spinach, red peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, leeks maybe, onions, micro greens and red skin potato wedges and the over easy egg. Forgot to ask for the egg to be over hard. The side of sriracha is not the green top, had more of a tart and vinegary flavor to it. It's very filling though. I get why the biscuit is usually torn up into the wild card, it's super dry and tasteless. I wouldn't get that dish again. The brunch wrap was the way to go, lattes here are good as well. read more

Still one of my favorite breakfast places in GR, with the best batch brew and really good food. Staff is always nice and the place is cozy.

After looking at various brunch places, I wanted to try MudPenny since I see so many great options for dinners. Also, it's been something fellow Yelpers recommend as a great spot to go. We ended up going at like 1pm which ended up feeling more like lunch, but still delicious. The vibe was super cute, the entry-way was definitely smaller but then you realize there is another side that housed all the tables and chairs. We ordered the mountie and jimmy pesto after recommendation from our server and were not steered wrong. The mountie was great! If you like sweet potatoes, and even if you don't, you should try the sandwich. It was such a unique flavor and wonderful size. I also just appreciate the kettle chips that came along with it. I look forward to coming back again and trying more traditional breakfast/brunch food. read more

A great place for brunch with friends or family! The decor is tasteful and there are plenty of windows to bring in natural light. Looks like they have outdoor seating in warmer weather as well. I have enjoyed their brown sugar shaken espresso and maple bourbon latte - both very good. Their food is also hearty and tasty - I love the real OG and the muddy cristo. Note that it does get busy on weekends but wait staff has always been courteous and communicative. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while and Kaylee N said it's one of her favorite places so my boyfriend and I checked it out for breakfast this morning:) The aesthetic of this place was feeling modern and industrial to me. Black chairs and tables with exposed brick walls and modern art and light fixtures. The service was very kind and friendly. Started off by ordering some coffee: My bf ordered the Americano and I tried the Maple Bourbon Latte. Before I could even ask, our server told me she had oat milk available which is so awesome and I asked to have it made with that. The flavor of this latte was so good and I drank this to the very bottom. Yum! For food: My bf ordered The OG sandwich which has two fried eggs, white cheddar, garlic aioli, and some greens on a bun and he loved it! I couldn't decide between the Muddy Cristo or the Brunchwrap and our server recommended the Brunchwrap:) It comes with a choice of two dipping sauces and I unfortunately forgot the first choice and went with the garlic aioli as my dipping option. The Brunchwrap reminded me of Taco Bell but five times better with fresh ingredients. There's a crisp layer of latke (potato pancake), whatever meat you decide, cheesy scrambled eggs, spinach, tomato, and avocado inside a toasted tortilla. I loved it so much! It was a big portion and I finished almost the entire dish before getting full. Will definitely be coming back for the amazing coffee and other breakfast options in the near future. read more

Wasn't a great experience. Ingredients in the wrap were layered in a way so you got bites of a single food- all chicken, then all cheese, then all lettuce. It was also dry. They were initially out of the desired milk, then made the wrong sandwich, then their computers were down. These are all things that happen but stacked upon each other didn't make for the best time! read more

Came here a couple months ago with my sister to have brunch and a work session. We sat in the stools facing the window and it was very comfortable. We ordered food and lattes before getting started and were pretty satisfied with what we got. Matcha oatmilk latte: 5/5 It was very rich and tasty, a good strong matcha flavor and not overly sweet. My sister liked the chicken salad sandwich with the GF bread, she says she could have eaten more. She did not like the strawberry latte, not much flavor aside from the coffee she said. As for me, I ordered a vegan option which was tofu scramble with a salad and roasted potatoes and vegetables. It was simple, yet delicious. I can't remember the name of it I think it was new beginning's but I highly recommend it! As for the location, if you like high tops this is the place to go and there is a parking lot on the side. read more

Wanting a quick local lunch in Grand Rapids? Look no further than MudPenny. Also slinging some of the best espresso drinks around, MudPenny's sandwiches and pastries aren't to be messed with. The barista and other employees seem to truly care about their work and are super helpful and friendly, too. We got The Mountie: turkey, white cheddar, bacon, spinach leaves, maple sweet potato mash and mayo on naan bread. And the Chicken Salad Sandwich: honey chicken salad, almonds, cranberries, grapes , greens, and pickled red onions on naan bread. Wow. Just wow. Both sandwiches were delicious - the naan bread a nice touch. The chicken salad itself wasn't too mayo-y, either. The lattes are solid and on point. Oat milk by Oatly, which is always a plus. Other cookie and pastry options are plenty, like the mini amaretti cookies, or the larger mudslide cookies. Takeout? Yep. Dine in with table service? They've got that too. Their breakfast and other bites also look pretty awesome. If I visit Grand Rapids again, MudPenny would be a must go. read more

The food was good but it was too expensive. It cost me $4 for a regular cup of coffee with no refills. For the three of us, tt was over $80. My husband's omlet was $20 and there was hardly any meat in it. I love supporting local business, but the cost has to be reasonable. read more

Rarely have I had a meal where I closed my eyes after every bite and just luxuriated in all of the flavors. But such was the experience with the Muddy Cristo. The cheese was perfectly melty. The ham almost caramelized. The powdered sugar not overdone. The only thing I might have done differently was exchanged the maple syrup for a berry compote. But the maple worked so well. I made that sandwich last as long as I could, and I was both sad and satisfied when it was done. I will be coming back! read more
