Roots Brew Shop

This is a charming, quiet cafe with a community feel. They have free wifi, good coffee, and plenty of seating. The service is friendly and the other patrons are personable. My only complaint? The little round tables are wobbly as heck. I spilled my coffee like 3 times until I gave up and moved to a bigger, more solid table (ha!).
The coffee was quite tasty as well, good selection of dairy, but no brown sugar!?
Parking is on the street and free during the day, and there is plenty of stuff around the area.
If I lived in the area, I would probably be there every day. Great spot.

Quiet place for a hipster brew (coffee, that is).

This is my safe haven, the place I go to when I want a peaceful place to write, sip coffee, and think. Their simple house coffee is really nice even just to drink black (and I don't often say that). I haven't tried any of their other drinks. The size of the cafe is perfect because it's large enough that it never feels crowded or overly noisy, yet it simultaneously feels cozy. I love the colors, the art, the variety of seating areas, the staff (always kind and friendly), and the different events they have from time to time. Also, PARKING IS FREE.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Grand Rapids and closer to the Walker area! I love the atmosphere and coziness. There is enough room and they host many different events including yoga and waffles on Sunday. Can't wait to see this place grow and offer more on their menu.

Great little coffee shop for getting work done or meeting up with someone for a cup of coffee early and late.

Super helpful staff members. Nice, refreshing coffee. And a cute, quaint decor to finish. Especially loved the innovative ways to ensure social distancing with the reservations for imaginary customers. Wonderful place to spend an evening.

Cozy shop. Eclectic ambiance. Friendly staff.
With nearby college campuses and business, this coffee shop can occasionally become busy, but you'll usually find a seat and space to share. Regardless, you'll need to find street parking. Don't worry, its worth it. Waffle Saturdays are a must, with unique waffle recipes to kick off your weekend. If you're in the area, and want to support a local coffee shop, this is your spot.

It's really busy here in the morning. They have a couple of options for food too.

Great atmosphere with tons of natural lighting and unique, comfortable seating. Their coffee selection is extensive and they have something for everyone; from pour overs to iced lattes, kombucha and craft root beer. Their bagels, spreads, and soups are delicious as well! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. This is a great place to buckle down and get work done or catch up with a friend!

This is personally in my favorite coffee shop in Grand Rapids! I love the open atmosphere and you can have a conversation with someone without feeling like other people are on top of you. They have a solid menu and always good coffee brewing.
