Rowster Coffee Wealthy

Was in GR for a short visit, and sampled three coffee joints during my stay. The other two cafes to be reviewed received 5/5; Rowster receives 4/5. Rowster remains safely above the average for coffee shops in GR, but seems to have some distance to go to make the list for someone hailing from the Pacific Northwest.

Service was less than expedient, and the latte lacked character and texture. What’s with cafes in GR not offering lattes in anything over 12oz portions? Spare me and “specialty shop” BS and allow customers that know what they want a way to get a 16/20oz quad.

Nice to have Rowster adding the Wealthy Street vibe (I actually lived off Wealthy St prior to revitalization) but at $6 for a less than memorable 12oz late, they’re priced above market value (even from a West Coast perspective.)

I do a lot of walking and stop at coffee shops to take a break, this is a nice one to stop at. Good selection of drinks and reasonably priced. Very limited things to snack on, today bagels from Terra, Not a lot of room but I’ve always found a place to sit. Place is clean and the staff are very friendly. They sell whole beans and will grind them for you. Lots of traffic in and out so good business.

Bathroom was very gross and dirty. Coffee was good but expectations were high going in. Barista's latte art was excellent. Hung out and read for a little bit but ambiance was a little too stark qnd echoey.

Coffee lovers, Rowsters Coffee in Eastown Grand Rapids is a must-visit! Sit at the window and watch Wealthy Street go by while sipping on their tasty mocha or any of their other great caffeinated beverages. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or relax alone. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

For whatever reason, Mod bars make the tastiest cortados. Reminded me of Anthology over in Detroit. Also the aesthetic and baristas are stellar.

Cortado was excellent !! Hannah was very nice, she told me about the store , their coffee & merchandise.
They have different roasted coffee, t-shirts , coffee equipment.
Nice spot on wealthy street .

Excellent local coffee spot. This location offers a great place to get a drink and meet friends or catch up on work. The Milky Way blend is one of my favorite coffees made as an espresso, pour over and even over ice. Not a lot of food here so plan accordingly.

Had a gift card, so I went to use that. I absolutely love coffee shops, so it would be hard to find one I wouldn't give a good rating to. This one is at the top of the list as far as flavor. I can't have any dairy and am sensitive to almost everything. I got an Americano with lavender. My daughters both got Chai. They said it was the best Chai they have had. Service was FANTASTIC!!

I loved the location,The latte it was delicious complimented by a Nutella muffin 👌🏼

After nine years, returned to Rowster Coffee. They don't have tshirts anymore but the coffee is still great.
