Crema's Take
“Sav Sav is a warmly curated spot in Grand Rapids that excels at making you feel genuinely cared for, whether you're settling in at the counter for excellent Onyx espresso or browsing their thoughtful cheese selection while sipping a craft cocktail. The staff—particularly memorable for their humor and genuine knowledge—create an atmosphere that feels more like a sophisticated friend's gathering space than a typical coffee shop, making it ideal for leisurely brunches or meeting up between shopping trips. It's a place where the whole experience, from the quality of the drinks to the cleanliness and energy of the room, reflects an obvious commitment to hospitality and self-care.”

Do you love brunch? Do you love yourself? Do you need help loving yourself? Be nice to yourself and feel better after you go to Sav Sav. The cocktails and wine were truly phenomenal, atmosphere was very chic and fun and the food is honestly ridiculous. Everything we have gotten now each time we went was so good and we were talking about it days later. The halloumi salad and the roasted grape dip is just way too good and the new brunch dishes were *muah*. So glad they now have brunch and we will keep coming back!!
Fantastic shop. Wonderful selection of cheese. Good coffee, they have Onyx beans. Good stuff. Good people.
Go to Sav Sav! We sat ourselves at the bar/counter and were greeted pretty much immediately. Mallory, was so funny and friendly; she had great knowledge of the menu and stellar recommendations. The food was elevated and delicious - it’s so worth it to try anything with bread involved it’s seriously so delicious and fresh. You can really tell they put such care and attention into the ingredients used. Plating and presentation was very cool, the curation of wines was fun and accessible, and the atmosphere was inviting.
We were the only table there and still could not get a drink in a reasonable amount of time. When we wanted a second drink, I had to physically go find someone to take our order because the person waiting on us never came back after the first drink. Drinks were also overpriced and nothing special.
Very clean and cool place to grab a drink while shopping. The staff (Alicia) was extremely friendly and helpful.
