Lyon Street Cafe - Grand Rapods

Here's review 500, you guys deserve it! Out of all the coffee shops in Grand Rapids, this is our favorite (hot take, deal with it madcap) the iced miel is so good. Grab that book you've been meaning to start and sit for a while at Lyon st Cafe. Everyone is friendly the workers and customers too.

I have been to this place a few times in the past, probably eight years ago and earlier. I loved their sweets then. I decided to visit again today with a friend. I showed her the main picture of the cafe on Google maps to lure her with me. We were quite disappointed when we got to the place. The picture was nowhere close to what they offered now. It would not have mattered if they had those desserts anyways. There was no seating available inside since most tables were 4-person tables occupied by one person each. It looks as if they don't seem to want more customers. They can accommodate more people by converting some of their large tables to one or two-person tables.

Went there for first time this morning and I ordered a cup of coffee with vanilla and cream. It was the absolute worst cup of coffee I've ever had. The barista was wonderful and the cafe was cute, but this is bottom of the barrel coffee.

This is my favorite coffee place in GR and has been for a decade. Even though I moved out of GR, I still go out of my way to grab a pour over here and stop at Martha's Vineyard or the bakery. The staff here are always kind and pleasant and they make the best coffee in town. The olive oil cake is also amazing. Can't speak highly enough of this place and the folks who run it!

Tried for first time. Authentically good coffee. Tried the cortado. And the cinnamon coffee cake muffin. Really good. Decent and calm music to add to the atmosphere. Parking available on the side of the building and on the street.
