This is a wonderful cafe in downtown Lowell! Their food is all homemade, so it might be different…read morewhen you come, but everything my siblings and I tried on the 2 days we came was delicious. As a few others mentioned, it's not the fastest service. We waited on average about 10-15 minutes each day for food/drinks to be ready. Overall it was a really positive experience and I'll definitely be back!

I'll be honest- our experience here was rough…read more Was the food good? Yes. The coffee? Also good. The issue was how long it took for them to fulfill our orders. We ordered 3 hot beverages... a hot chocolate, a breve latte with sugar free vanilla and a normal vanilla latte. We sat inside the cafe for nearly 30 minutes before our drinks were ready, surrounded by other grumpy customers. We overheard the shop saying they were closing early because they cannot handle the load of orders... the place was busy, but nothing different than your typical coffee shop on a Saturday morning. (See photos for reference) Overall, if you're in a hurry this isn't the place for you. But, if you can afford to wait 20-30 minutes for your coffee then no harm in trying them out.

Don't bother going anywhere else for coffee if you're near Ionia, Sozo's should be your first and…read moreonly stop. I've been to a lot of coffee shops in nearby cities and big cities around the country and Sozo's is just as good if not better than any I've visited. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the environment is really laid back, with lots of space to sit and work or meet with friends, coworkers, or classmates. They source their own beans, and make their own baked goods in house. I'll often order their drip cause it's so good, but I also love their pour over, the Nutty Irishman, or just a plain Cortado. And I always keep their beans on hand for home. Please visit, enjoy, and support Rodney and Mindy and this small/local business!

I haven't tried their food, but it doe look good from what I've seen. To compare again, the inside is between a Starbucks and a Dunkin'.

A good place to stop for a restroom break and caffeine refill or hang out to get some work done.

Went to Mudpenny for the first time for brunch. Decent crowd on a Saturday. Opted for the Kevin…read moreMalone instead of the Brunchwrap and I think that was the right choice. Burrito is packed full of hash browns, crispy bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese. The only downside to the Kevin Malone is that they use spinach instead of like a chopped lettuce for the burrito and the texture is a little overpowering. Plus, they don't chop the stems off the spinach, so I'd either order it without or pick some pieces out. I feel like the Brunchwrap has a thicker layer of it and as much as mixing in a green is smart, it has to be prepped properly in my opinion. Patatas bravas as a side were fire. The potatoes were roasted and seasoned well. It advertised a garlic aioli, but we did not get that. As with San Chez's patatas bravas, ask for the sauce on the side. It is a very good side of potatoes compared to the thinly, oddly sliced potato slices that came with the breakfast sandwich. They looked like apple slices and were sort of wet and soggy like them too. Nitpicking their spinach prep and refining their side dish of potatoes are really the only notes if someone from Mudpenny is actually reading this and got this far. Great breakfast spot and service was spot on.

Once again we have committed to not go back to this place. Convenience makes us forgot but maybe…read morefinally writing a review will help. Had a late breakfast there this week that I thought might turn into lunch given how long it took to get the food out of the kitchen. Waitress never checked in with us during our long wait. My associate ordered the salmon plate with porches eggs. The eggs came out hard-boiled, and then staff was rude when he asked that the eggs remade. And like the original order, the poached eggs took forever to get out of the kitchen and were cold when they arrived. I Had the avocado toast, which should be delicious. Theirs is not--poorly conceived with flavors that do not meld likely the result of avocado paste versus fresh, massed-with-chunks avocados. The egg white omelet, which is pretty tasty, looks like a mess when it arrives at the table. Their espresso drinks are good.

Not the pastries though.

Service is very friendly and I think the baristas are knowledgeable. Overall this coffee shop is replacing my normal Starbucks run, so that's why I keep making this comparison. So far I've tried all of their seasonal fall drinks and have had multiple bagels and breakfast sandwiches. My partner also got their lemon loaf cake (like sbx) and he liked it. Prices are a bit high, but that's expected in Ada. Parking is easy to find when it's not busy and, bonus points, it's free. 4/5 stars!
