The 205 Coffee Bar

Delicious salmon croissant waffles, fantastic brazen latte. Owner is energetic and knowledgeable, it was a joy to eat here. Interior is drapy plants against industrialish touches, it feels warm and clean.

If you’re looking for some casual sloppy service and racism, this is your place. We had to wait over 30 mins for a waffle and an avocado toast while people (white people obvs), came after us, got their food. The server gave us a good serving of west Michigan nice. IYKYK. Avoid if you’re a POC and/or have young hungry kids.

To the owner who feels offended by the truth. It would be great if you read the view. What was unacceptable was that people who came after us were served before us. And none of your staff came to update us. Might I also point out that this owner refused to make eye contact when I went up to tell him. He treated me like I didn’t exist. Thanks for your recommendation to stay home. Maybe you should learn some humility and apologize for tardy service before giving other people unsolicited advice?

Also, as a scholar of the United States, I could give you a long history lesson unpacking everything you just said to show your own biases. But I won’t go into that because it’s clear to me you don’t care.

My sincere unsolicited advice to the owner: go read some history and cultivate some humility.

For anyone reading this review, please read the owner’s response to get a sense of the service you can expect at this place.

Modern design and the perfect balance of taste delivers the best experience in Holland for coffee. The Mocha doesn't over power you and the Miel is phenomenal. Enjoy the smooth drinks and make sure to stop by when the weather is nice. The open shutters make the experience a breath of fresh air (I'm not funny.)

This review is not paid for by the 205. It's just love at first sip.

Lovely space. Lovely staff. Wonderful choices. My molasses brown sugar latte was perfection. Not too sweet and I could taste the molasses. Incredible art inside snd outside. Will be back❤️

What a nice ambiance. They care and the quality of the food and drinks show. We got the avocado toast (a must) was fabulous. Brown sugar and molasses latte was delicious. And what a great selection of teas.

A cute little coffee shop with delicious lattes! I had the brown sugar molasses. Would definitely come back if in the area.

My girlfriend and I came here every morning when we went on a little getaway to Holland last summer. The environment is terrific, every drink we ordered was delicious, and I still think about the Nutella strawberry waffle that I ate! This is definitely a place that I would recommend to any person visiting Holland.

My favorite new coffee place in Holland! Amazing service, amazing staff (the 2 girls working on Monday afternoon were incredible and courteous).
And the coffee just delicious and so tasty!

I totally recommend the Nutella Latte!! It was PERFECT!

Great vibe, good service, and a unique take on waffles. The smoked salmon waffle was perfect.

The shop was clean and absolutely adorable. The barista's were very kind and patient when we has questions about drinks. The kombucha and coffee were fantastic! I would take a trip back!
