Water Street Coffee Joint
2603 S Sprinkle Rd, Kalamazoo, MI
Crema's Take
“Water Street Coffee Joint in Kalamazoo is a beloved drive-thru destination for serious espresso lovers who value quality beans and genuine care in their craft, though the service can be inconsistent and pricing—particularly for plant-based milk upgrades—feels a bit steep for what you're getting. The team genuinely puts love into both their coffee and their hearty breakfast offerings like their crispy bacon, cheese, and spinach burrito, making it worth a visit if you're willing to take a moment to sit down rather than rush through the drive-thru window. It's the kind of place where you'll leave with fresh roasted beans in hand and friendly conversation with staff who actually care about your order.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Parking available. Drive-thru.

I ordered the bacon cheese spinach burrito which also comes with potatoes it was super bomb but made to be crispy so a bit flakey, Definetly not a car food. If you're looking for a new interesting drink they offer raspberry mochas I've never had one but loved it.
