Anna's House - Plainfield Avenue
3874 Plainfield Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI
Crema's Take
“This beloved Plainfield Avenue gem has built a devoted following for its genuinely cozy atmosphere and surprisingly excellent kitchen that excels equally at classic breakfast fare and creative lunch dishes like their standout chipotle southwest bowl and twilight French toast. The generous portions and thoughtful touches—like the coffee mugs that guests actually rave about—create the kind of place where regulars naturally become frequent returners. Anna's House feels less like a coffee shop pit stop and more like an actual neighborhood living room where the food, service, and lingering vibe all feel intentional and care-filled.”

Really cozy dine in spot. Enjoyed the service and the breakfast, especially the coffee mug. ☺️ I shall return.
Good burger. Great fries. - Anna’s Burger - $15.25: Cheesy! Lots of cheese! The American and Swiss cheeses were good and almost look like an egg on the burger. The two burger patties were cooked to medium or medium-well and very juicy good! The lettuce was crisp and fresh, but huge and difficult to eat the way it was topped. The onions and tomato were delicious and complimented well. It was a bit sloppy to eat (maybe a bit too much burger sauce?). The bun complimented well. Overall, it was delicious. - Fries (free with the burger): Some of the best fries I’ve had. Everything was well balanced. The battered fries are medium cut, seasoned and cooked perfectly. They seemed a bit on the dark side, but the flavor was not impacted at all. - Gourmet Hot Chocolate - $4.75: Standard. Settled towards the end. Good whipped topping. Nice cup. - Service: Amazingly great but slightly delayed. He was very helpful and super kind. The burger came out VERY quickly after we ordered it, but it did take a minute to have our order taken and to get our bill (we were in a little bit of a hurry, though). It was a busy time. - Atmosphere: Very bright colors and really cheerful. It is a mix between 50’s diner and grandma’s house. There were booths, tables with chairs, and even a breakfast bar. It was clean, organized, and well thought out. - Conclusion: I’d recommend their burger and HIGHLY recommend their fries. Visited on a Saturday at 2pm.
We always make a point to stop here the food is soo good. It’s my favorite breakfast spot. Everything I have tried has been excellent
Everything on the menu looked so good. My wife and I decided on the chipotle southwest bowl and the twilight French toast. Both were great! Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Waitress was very kind and attentive. Place was very busy, but still quick to seat us and overall service was fast too. Only downside is it feels a little crowded when it’s busy and sitting by the door during the winter can be cold with the door opening a lot.
Phenomenal food, fine prices, ok portions. The food here is great. Everything tastes so fresh and so good. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted pretty fresh. The hash brown was the best I’ve had, and they prepared it just how I liked, crispy. The crab cake Benedict was good. But the crab cake left me wanting something better. It wasn’t bad. Just wasn’t great. The chicken and waffle was fine. They just have better options there. Chicken was seasoned perfectly and cooked very well. The waffle… well is a waffle. Not bad. The gravy was really sweet, so be warned. I just wish there was more balance of sweet and savory (Sweet= waffle, syrup, gravy. Savory= Chicken) The latte I got was good too. Forgot what it was called. The portion sizes should be fine for most people. But for me, it was teetering on the smaller size, but still fairly sized for the price and taste. Overall: 9.0/10
