Capital City Cafe
600 E Michigan Ave, Lansing, MI
Crema's Take
“This downtown Lansing spot brings an upscale, artisan energy to specialty grocery shopping, with a dedicated coffee bar anchoring the experience alongside excellent locally-roasted options and Michigan craft beverages. The welcoming atmosphere thrives on curated variety you won't find at typical chain stores—think vegan options, local producers, and a genuine commitment to regional makers—making it a genuine community hub rather than just a quick caffeine stop.”

Great store unless you are a black shopper who likes toTake your time shopping. I have lived close to the store for 2 years and it has been my go to grocery store. Occasionally I’m followed through the store by secret shoppers. Stopped and asked for a receipt and had my cart stopped more than once. I have never stolen anything, come to the store multiple times, even done liquor promos there and still get profiled. Other than that great set ups and good deals. But they really need to do better. I’ve seen it happen to others also.
A fantastic store to shop at right in the heart of Lansing. Walking through the store is always an enjoyable experience with an amazing variety of products I do not normally see at a traditional Meijer. Parking is easy and free.
I was inside the market and my maps didn’t register my arrival & the prices are higher then other markets in the area. However, the product variety is excellent. They have a vegan cooler, locally grown products, fresh fruits and vegetables, a deli, sushi bar, lots of different meats and drink selection. There is a bottle return outside of the store near the parking. Really convenient! The sitting area near the deli is really chic & spacious. Little carts for the kiddos!! The market is well thought out concept of a market: it’s clean, and welcoming. It has a upscale environment. Very inviting.
I am so fortunate to live Downtown now. This is an excellent addition. So many choices you can't catch at a regular Meijer. Great adult beverage section! Love this place! The only downside might be if you like your groceries bagged. Everything here is self check out..
Really nice store with an upscale artisan feel. Large sections for produce, wine, and Michigan craft beer. There's a coffee bar, deli, and sushi counter, and an abundance of Michigan-made products throughout. There's definitely a focus on smaller, single items with the notion that people will shop frequently, picking up only a few items at a time, vs occasional volume shopping to stock up. Oh, and parking was ample and free.
