Last Mile Cafe
1006 Hall St SE, Grand Rapids, MI
Crema's Take
“Last Mile Cafe is a community-centered espresso bar where baristas Arick and Sarah craft standout drinks like their signature "Dropout" and "God's Gumbo" light roasts, alongside creative favorites like an unexpectedly excellent s'mores latte. Beyond the coffee, it's a genuine gathering space where artists paint, families linger comfortably, and thoughtful touches like curated reading materials and loyalty rewards make regulars feel genuinely valued. The whole operation radiates the kind of warmth that makes you want to become a regular—not despite the focus on quality coffee, but because it's woven into everything they do.”

Last Mile Cafe is a great spot. The LMC team makes excellent drinks to be sure. But there's so much more. Community-focused, they use their space for events and are highly engaged in community affairs. They take sustainability seriously in their practices; the only business their size I know of that runs metrics and puts out an impact report. One of the most telling indicators for me is that every time I'm there, I meet an interesting person. It's that kind of a place. Grand Rapids is fortunate to have Last Mile Cafe and its people!
I love dropping in to get my coffee. There are very interesting reading materials available to read while I wait for my coffee to be ground. Arick & Sarah are very generous with their customer rewards. This is a great place to visit.
1st time--I'll come back! Awesome little coffee shop. Great service and good atmosphere for hanging out to chat with a friend. Latte was perfect
Their "Dropout" and "God's Gumbo" light roasts are the best in town. It's the only place I get my beans. Everyone is lovely, and I love the perk of if a free coffee every time I buy a bag to take home.
I had their smores latte! The best flavored latte I ever tasted! Pleasant staff. An artist was painting a picture with two of his children. His wife was there as well The children were so well behaved, very friendly. The mom dad were very supportive, and patient with their children as they painted.
