That Early Bird
1445 Lake Dr SE, Grand Rapids, MI
Crema's Take
“This cozy Grand Rapids spot nails the neighborhood coffee shop vibe with creative signature drinks like their Autumn Cold Brew and Astro 2.0 that keep visitors coming back, plus a solid matcha program for tea lovers. The real magic is in the atmosphere—there's genuinely something for everyone here, whether you're a parent with kids in tow, a remote worker needing a reliable laptop spot, or friends meeting up for quality time, all anchored by thoughtful staff and a welcoming indoor-outdoor setup. Fair warning: it leans upscale on pricing, but the made-to-order food and carefully crafted drinks justify splurging on a lazy morning or weekend escape.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I was super happy with what I ordered. I’m sure the coffee is great here but I ordered matcha and it wasn’t my fav. Could be stronger but overall happy with everything.
Delicious made to order food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great Americano and lattes. Indoor and patio seating. Nice place for couples, families, to work, or meet up with friends. Food and drink selection is top notch.
