PaLatte Coffee & Art

Cozy atmosphere located on the side of town with very little competition for coffee shops. It’s pretty little inside with more conversational style seating. The customer service was good, but PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK THE DATE ON ANYTHING YOU EAT. I work in the food service industry and this place doesn’t follow the health code very strictly. Their pastry case was gross and had fruit flies, another time my biscotti was expired, also, they keep the microwave under the sink (a few inches from the floor) which isn’t sanitary.

Good coffee in a very relaxed atmosphere. Nice art as well most if not all available for purchase. Seating is comfortable and music is at a peaceful level, easy to get work done or just enjoy your drink with.

Very nice cafe and art venue, they always have something beautiful or amazing on the walls worth studying closely while you wait for your drink. This is the type of cafe I only order lattes or specialty drinks from. If I'm not mistaken, they feature locally roasted coffee and not in-house roasted, but the selection is a good local sampling.

Atmosphere is very nice here, I'd love to come in the afternoon to sit on my computer or read a book for hours. Definitely the place to go if you're in the area, and they typically feature Art Prize artists when it's that time of year.

One of my favorite Grand Rapids coffee shops! IMO they have the BEST Latte's in GR. There's not a lot of seating, so keep that in mind if you're planning on going at a busy time with more than a few people.

PaLatte is my very close second favourite here in Grand Rapids. I am a self proclaimed coffee snob and I cannot think of anything bad to say about this place. I adore their snickers latte and I also love the cozy feeling of the place. I like that they change out the art regularly so I never get bored just staring at the wall for a while. This is definitely one of those coffee shops that you want to go to so you can hang out with friends instead of just being on your laptop, although that’s not bad here either.

Great coffee! Friendly staff. Small and cozy. Relaxing.

Pa Latte is ALWAYS a pleasant experience. It is family-owned and they are dedicated to offering Grand Rapids the *best* coffee experience that can be found in the city. Western Michigan, for that matter. They are very knowledgeable about all their coffees and truly enjoy being baristas.
Do yourself a favor and visit them soon!

Great coffee, fantastic service. The inside is beautiful and very cozy. I used to go after school every once in a while, and the barista was always very helpful and kind. They even put up with the after school high school crowd, which I know can be a... difficult group. Highly recommend.

Pros: right off several bus lines (silverline, 14, 4, 15). Great downtown location within walking distance of lots of great spots for food or entertainment. Really good drinks (the affogato and purple rain are personal favorites). Relaxed atmosphere with lots of comfortable seating. Lots of great art pieces on display (and for sale, including prints). Very clean. Friendly service.

Cons: prices are a bit more expensive, but not terrible for the quality. Nonprint art for sale is very expensive.

I love coffee, and PaLatte always gets it right. It's an excellent spot to relax and have a good conversation or get some work done when you need to focus. Love the staff, love the coffee, and love the place. Go here. You'll be glad you did.
