Loved the atmosphere in here, lots of seating to work or study (a little loud though). My signature order is an iced latte with almond milk/ sf vanilla/ honey, and it turned out really good! The coffee taste was stronger than I'm used to, but I could tell it was fresh :) read more

Leaving a 5 star review for the reason of them having some of the best breakfast sandwiches in all of kalamazoo so far. Though the service of the waiters is not super inviting, the sandwiches and build your own are worth it!!! read more

I used to come here all the time because the food and drinks were always really good and the environment has always been nice. The last 4-5 times I've gone the foods been good but the drinks have been bad. I don't know if it's just new staffing, but they get the orders wrong almost every time or the lattes taste like they have no espresso in them, which isn't how it was before. Its not worth the price. read more

I really love this tiny spot for a meet up. Their mocha is wonderful, as is their coffee, and I love that you order, sit down, and they bring it to you! The indoor seating is pretty cramped, though it also just has a 'communuty' vibe and in nice weather I've enjoyed their outside seating, too. I haven't tried much of their food yet, so have to go back and try more. read more

We stopped in for a morning refuel and wanted to stop in this locally supported place. We absolutely were happy with our choices. My mom always chooses the pistachio latte and I went with a chai latte. The ambience is very comfortable and we appreciate the hard workers there putting out orders. thank you so much for restoring that building and giving job opportunities to all read more

My friend and I were in the area and thought we'd give them a try! Very generic. The staff was very friendly, so that was a big plus. However, neither of our coffees were very good. They were made very quickly, which made us think some of it was premade. The taste just wasn't bold and vibrant. Decent amount of seating, definitely saw a lot of college students with laptops hanging out. read more

I don't know how it took me so long to visit Walnut and Park. This place is beautiful and their menu is pretty legit. Understandably, there are lots of coffee shops in the area, but WP stands out as a comfortable place for a conversation and an incredible employer. They employ staff who are getting up and going after being incarcerated (their story is here https://walnutandparkcafe.com/our-story/). Overall, we had a great experience here and have already been back. A great little shop in Kzoo! read more

Everyone working there wears masks here! However, it's just one person working here usually. They do have contactless payment. They have some special menus for summer and I was told that it will be available until the beginning of September, at least. My fave is their outside seating area. Under the sunshine, you can sip some cold brew and catch up with friends or you can read your fave book and enjoy your day. read more

Clean, fresh brewed coffee, friendly and a good space to journal, catch up with friends and do some research or work.

I love Walnut and Park. The service there is always top notch. They're also giving back to the community by hiring KPEP residents. This means all employees are part of the community corrections program. The baked goods are my favorite, make sure you try the scones!! read more

Sometimes simplicity is key! My partner and I walked to Walnut & Park this morning to change up our usual saturday coffee shop visits. He got his usual iced chai with oat milk & espresso to drink and a chorizo egg and cheese burrito. The chai was not overly spiced, allowing the flavor of the espresso to shine through as well. The burrito was in the smaller size but appropriate for the price. Lots of chorizo without being overpowering. I got the rose vanilla iced latte with oat milk as bf a build your own breakfast sandwich (everything bagel, sausage and egg). The latte wasn't as sweet as I was expecting but still delicious. The rose helped soften the sweetness of the vanilla. The breakfast sandwich was simple but great quality. read more

Stopped in to this great new coffee shop near downtown Kalamazoo. At the corner of Walnut and Park Street just south of the downtown hub. The coffee and pastries are absolutely delicious! I had the chai latte while my wife had the regular latte and both were exceptional. It's the first day and they're operating pretty good right out of the box. Congratulations I hope it's a raging success. read more

Great little cafe, they have a good selection of items to eat and drink. I had the vegan burrito. It was quite good. The onions should have been chopped smaller I got about a third of an onion in one bite. It also needed spices or at least pepper, luckily I travel with my own hot sauce. Over all good, I'll go back. read more

Love this place! The lattes are perfect, the foam art is on point, and there are properly-sized mugs for each item if you're hanging out inside instead of taking your drink to-go (exception is iced coffee). There's also a generous amount of sunny outdoor seating and giant windows with a cute view of the charming neighborhood. I've only tried the sandwiches so far, but they're fresh and delicious. There are other food items on the menu, mostly brunch things. Artists from the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts as well as students at Kalamazoo College and WMU seem to be here frequently. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Coffee is great! Their home style egg bake is excellent and they will warm it up for you!

A wonderful coffee shop! Very clean and bright, lots of windows. It felt cheery in there, seemed the staff was happy and smiling. I ordered my coffee and a delicious scone which they offered to warm for me. I took a seat at the window to people watch and saw they have a large patio with seating when it warms up. My items arrived quickly and again a smiling happy person brought them out. The perfect break in my day! read more

There's so much more this place has to offer then their fabulous Cappuccinos! Their mission and story speaks volumes. Please read about it and be informed on how we, as customers, help with every single purchase. Website link below. Walnut & Park story: https://walnutandparkcafe.com/our-story/ I was invited to join a business meeting here and couldn't be happier with the location. It's a small, cozy place with enough seating for a large group (you can join tables) or just yourself. There are outlets for your computer for those long homework sessions. They also offer pastries and some meals. Price is decent. My large cappuccino was $4.00. Small cappuccino was $3.00. read more

We were at the hospital all day for a family member's surgery and wanted good coffee. I ran down the road from Bronson to Walnut and Park for refills of our travel coffee mugs. First, I was impressed by the decor - SO relaxing, and beautiful inside. The staff was very helpful, and the refills (one light, one dark roast) were delicious and hit the spot. I can't wait to go back and spend time there, relaxing and drinking yummy coffee! read more

Walnut & Park - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

One of my favorite Kalamazoo coffee shops (and we have many options!) based on atmosphere and quality. Easy to access location with parking available. It's typically quiet and relaxed whenever I go. I prefer this atmosphere over Fourth Coast. Staff is usually friendly and they bring your order to your table if you're dining in most of the time. Prices are pretty good compared to other places in the city, a bit less expensive than Water Street. I have noticed that getting a prepared drink (like a latte, something more effort than regular coffee) takes longer than other coffee shops, so this might not be the best place if you're in a big rush and need a fancy drink; however, I attribute this to the staff many times being new/ learning (they are in the KPEP program) and I've never really considered it a problem. Food and pastries are always tasty too. I really like the chorizo breakfast burrito and the morning bun (like a cinnamon roll/ muffin mash up). read more

Walnut & Park - Cascara tea and lemon poppyseed muffin. Highly recommend this muffin, I get it every time they have it. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Quiet mornings start here. Lowkey music, friendly but not intrusive staff deliver just what you need then leave you be. If you need space and tables, they have plenty of those. Not nearly as crowded as the Water Street on Oakland, which at 11am can hit an all-tables-full maximum. read more

The best breakfast spot that was on the way to work. They have great coffee, and a wide selection of breakfast food at a very fair price. The staff is always friendly, but sometimes the wait is a little long. They even have a small office space which is available to reserve for a meeting or study session. Try the egg and roasted red pepper aioli sandwich- it's delicious! read more

Good tasting lattes and with milk alternatives. Solid breakfast options with gluten free bagels as well. Staff are always friendly and bring your food and drink right to you. Added bonus points for variety of the outdoor seating options and cleanliness! read more

The cutest little coffee spot! Walnut and Park has a perfect atmosphere for doing homework or meeting a friend you haven't seen in a while. The staff is always very friendly and helpful.

Love this little place. Great coffee and breakfast items. The prices are comparable to any other coffee place and its nicely decorated and very clean. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I also think that it is a great business for the community in that it is helping those who have made poor choices in the past grow and set themselves up for a brighter future. It's clearly making a difference in their lives if seeing how they treat their customers is any indication. As I said, their employees have always been super friendly and nice. read more

I am happy to have a new coffee shop in town. One can only take so much Water st, often crowded at that. The color scheme and seating arrangement is well done. This is one of the few places I would actually go to hang out or work. They make a good café mocha too. I will definitely return. read more

Good place to have a coffee and some free WiFi. They have cafe food, but I didn't eat. Relaxed atmosphere. I'll be back again and next time order food so I can give a more thorough review. Everyone is very polite and friendly and this place is very clean. Also, this establishment is run by KPEP residents. It's nice to see re-integration in practice. read more

I went here before seeing a play downtown and I thought this place was absolutely charming. I ordered a latte affectionately named the lumberjack which had a mild maple flavor and my son ordered a really tasty hot chocolate. The interior is new and fresh, they had some food options that if I hadn't been pressed for time I would have loved to indulge in, so another visit is definitely in order. read more

Wow! First, I called to make sure they were open. Jim was an absolute delight on the phone! When you're deciding between coffee shops in Kalamazoo come here! The girl that greeted us when we arrived was beyond nice. I had my usual coffee order of an oat milk lavender latte. Yes, they have oat milk! I cannot rave about this latte enough, just enough milk, just enough lavender! Thank you Jim and front cashier lady! The latte plus the smiles was an absolute great start to our day and my friends first time in Kalamazoo! read more
