Sweetwaters is always a good idea if you're looking for speciality coffee and pastries! I used to…read morelive right above it so I would frequent this place a lot. It is one of the bigger coffee shops in town (space wise), they have plenty of tables and seating if you want to work or study from there during the day! I also found that they have some of the best hours compared to other coffee shops in town, although these times do change often so I would check their social media for updates. The baristas are nice and patient and its a self serve counter that you order and pick up from. There is only street parking (and limited) so watch out for that. Other than that, I highly recommend! They also recently started doing a lunch deal where its $6 for a bagel AND coffee which is pretty amazing. Not sure how long it will go for but definitely check it out!

I did an online order from Sweetwater's My reflections are…read morenot going to be on delivery due to the fact that it was a third party that delivered it not Sweetwater's the self. The drinks were really good I absolutely despise anything with matcha in it but I decided to go out and try some it was really good however for the price and the size of the drink I feel I got a little scammed there and was a little disappointed but the drink was good I got another drink called the caramel iced dragon I asked for no whipped cream due to the fact that I'm lactose intolerant I have whipped cream. The service was really well The drinks were great I just wish they were bigger for how much you pay for them that's taking off the tax that the third party applies-

Overall, everything was solid. The Qishr was good, though I think it could have used a bit more kick. Aside from that, the coffee was excellent and the rest of what we tried did not disappoint. I also had an organic mango juice, which was fresh (even though it came in a bottle) and really enjoyable.

I recently went to Qawah House with a friend! It's a place my friend Janelle has constantly…read morerecommended. I never realized that it's located so close to the movie theater and Meijer Gardens! I would absolutely stop over there before or after going to one of those. There's ample parking and it's within the general area of the movie theater. The spot itself has a good amount of seating and some of the coolest decor. There is a massive wooden art piece detailing history which is so fun to just sit and read. The staff was more than friendly and polite. They gave us some really helpful information and recommendations for drinks. We didn't end up eating any of the food but the honeycomb dessert looked incredible and my boss has said that the spinach pie is amazing. I really loved my strawberry matcha! The drink was beautiful and tasted really great!

The flavors combinations are interesting and creative and there are so many options. The blueberry lavender bliss bar was my favorite. I was worried that it would be too sweet but it was so well balanced in flavor, sweetness and textures. I can't wait to try their other flavors. Both the mini quiche and the veggie handpie were delicious too. They were savory, flaky, warm and comforting. You can tell that the people making these care about making good food. The drink menu also had a lot of interesting options. I went with a seasonal drink, the Message to Diane. It was refreshing and light and not overly sweet. It had just a little bit of spice in it with the chai and habanero.

I'm just blown away by this place, I didn't expect for it to be this amazing. The owners must have an anointed divine understanding of fresh food or something.

When you enter, you take a plate and some tongs and make your way through the display cases taking what you want. On our first visit, I had a cinnamon churro. Wonderfully flavored. My wife enjoyed her Pain au Chocolat as well. They had an approximately 5-10 minute wait for regular coffee. They asked my wife if they could make her a specialty coffee at no extra charge so she wouldn't have to wait. Very nice customer focus! It was busy during our visit but we easily found an available table. Only downside is the noise. Place is pretty noisy so unless you can tune the noise out, you eat and run. This is the type of place where I think you have to go probably a dozen or more times just to establish you favorites. So many pastries, so little time!

When I arrived home, I discovered the Masala Chai Latte was served as a tea bag in hot water, and the Strawberry & Cream Frappe resembled a basic strawberry smoothie rather than the advertised drink (see photos). I understand mistakes happen, so I returned to the bakery to have the orders corrected. While the staff agreed to remake the latte, they refused to correct or refund the frappe, stating that the drink is not as pictured in their advertising (so they condone false advertising?) . The barista also offered to take the uncorrected drink back WITHOUT a resolution or a refund!?? Furthermore, once the Masala Chai Latte was remade, it was watery, bland and tasteless. Sadly, while I was waiting for my Latte to be fixed, another customer was also expressing a complaint to the barista about her drink order being made incorrectly. Given the amount spent, this experience was highly disappointing. This location has unfortunate low values of customer service and product standards.

We had a matcha latte and the vegan chocolate muffin, and both were really good, well made, and satisfying without feeling heavy. Afterward, we spent some time shopping around the store and browsing their goods, which was just as enjoyable as the coffee itself. Another cool thing is that you can reserve a conference room to get some work done or have meetings in. Oh and they have a pretty big parking lot for a Grand Rapids coffee shop! Overall, Ferris Coffee & Nut is a great spot to slow down, treat yourself, and leave with something tasty to take home. Bonus points if you live only a couple if blocks away from it

We were at our vet across the street so Nate and I decided to stop by for a treat. They were featuring Elf-themed drinks, so I got the candy cane forest mocha and Nate ordered the swirly twirly sugar cookie latte, lol. We both had a chuckle at the silly names but they do go with the movie. The person taking our order was super patient and friendly, then had us "scoot around to the window" which always makes me laugh out loud, like do they hate having to say that? Our drinks were handed over quickly and they were sweet and delicious. They do serve some food items, as well as lots of other hot and cold drinks, teas, smoothies, Red Bull infusions(???!!), and blended drinks. I would say it's a pretty similar menu to Biggby. Scooter's is a drive through only, no inside space at all.
