Local Mocha Coffee

Staff are very friendly..and they have fantastic pancakes! Coffee too. They make the best americano in town, good and strong just the way I like. I really like this place and it’s workers. It’s far out of the way for me but I enjoy the food, drink and people that I make an extra effort to come here. Haven’t tried any other food except their pancakes because I like them so much ,maybe I should.
Tried the sausage, egg and cheese today…excellent! And 4 shots in my americano! I love this place.

Very good customer service! The lady was very nice and coffee was very good! The menu was vast and very good! I've seen some comments about how some were overpriced but if they read the board, it costs a little extra for more pumps of syrup. Overall very fun and inviting experience!

Had a very nice experience. Woman was very polite and the coffees were delicious. Just the right balance of flavors without being too sweet. Would definitely get coffee here again!

The lady who greeted me was very sweet and definitely brightened my morning despite all of the surprise snow. The food and smoothies are amazing and the menu has a great variety of food to pick from.

I wish I could rate this cafe's drinks but I can't because the lady at the desk just straight up refused to serve us. My dad was on the phone and unable to hear the lady at the counter when he entered, so instead of waiting for him to finish she started making snarky comments about how rude we were and didn't let us order at all. Really poor service.

Edit:The cafe owners response makes it seem like someone was assaulted. But I've read through some of their other responses and have found that their only way of responding is accusing people of being racists or other things, don't heed anything of their response.

I get a hotdog here almost everyday and its the best deal in Grand Rapids for a hotdog. I absolutely love the woman that runs the shop, very nice and a good place to eat and get coffee.

My wife and I try to stop in when we are in GR if time allows, because not only is the coffee outstanding, so is the service. The lady that works there is so sweet and accommodating, and the shop is clean and cozy.

I found myself reading through the reviews because I was puzzled that they only get 3.7 stars, and as it turns out a good lot of them are complaints from people buying something from the coffee shop next door then proceeding to use Local Mocha's outdoor tables, and being asked to sit elsewhere. Um, there are public benches literally about 8 feet away from their outdoor tables, so yeah, your complaints are invalid. And as for the jerks who used Local Mocha's indoor trash to dispose of the other coffee shop's garbage: Again, public trash cans 8 feet away, and yes, it's extremely rude to do what you did.

Folks, let me tell you, the majority of these complaints are from over privileged whiners who spend their lives waiting for something to get upset about. Don't listen to them. Local Mocha is da bomb!

If you're thinking of going to Madcap Coffee nextdoor, GO HERE INSTEAD! Good service, good coffee, and it's local, so you'll be supporting a small business rather than some hipster chain like Madcap. :)

What a lovely find! I wish google would have shown their shop to me. I was walking by and happened upon it. My son and I had a delicious lunch of grilled cheese, soup and a hot dog. The person working was quite friendly and I appreciated her help even when she was busy. Highly recommend for a affordable lunch option downtown

Hidden gem in downtown Grand Rapids. I enjoyed the experience. It is an eclectic little coffee shop that also offers other beverages and breakfast dishes. It is tiny but cozy. The behind the counter person is friendly and wonderful.
