Social Misfits
43 Fulton St W, Grand Rapids, MI
Crema's Take
“This whimsical downtown spot celebrates creative eccentricity with playful dishes like their signature Yasuke waffle featuring crispy ramen noodle threads and soy sauce syrup, drawing crowds who crave something genuinely different from the usual breakfast scene. The bustling, fun atmosphere feels purposefully unpretentious and welcoming to families and solo coffee seekers alike, though recent visits suggest quality has been a bit inconsistent. It's the kind of place where you go as much for the "we're different" energy and quirky charm as you do for solid coffee and inventive food.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This place is awesome! 👍🏻 🤩 We came in for a breakfast on a raining morning, the place was quite full so we found a place at the bar (2 adults and 2 kids). Everything was excellent: for the friendly staff (with the surprising magic show!) to the generous portions (the pics…
C'mon. Fun food and uniqueness is something I really like. I can get ordinary in lots of places. So I can say I appreciated all the quirky-ness and the "We are different" thing going on here. Even the menu saying: "Waffles" and then "Not Waffles" made me smile. I did a Not and…
