Fourth Coast Cafe and Bakery

A vegan, gluten-free donut, oh so sweet,
A treat for all who choose to eat
Without the guilt or dietary strife,
Indulge in this pastry, a guilt-free life.

This was my first stop on my Kalamazoo coffee tour and what a way to start! Great baristas, great atmosphere, and great coffee.

Staff, coffee, and biscotti all amazing. 10/10. We wanted to come back a second time on our weekend in Kalamazoo, but just ran out of time.

My partners and I split some soup and sandwiches at Fourth Coast recently, everything tasted fresh and homemade. I like the cozy feel of this space, with friendly servers to match! Also, my partner accidentally left his wallet behind and since we were headed out of town, we weren't able to retrieve it for two days; not to worry, Fourth Coast kept it safe and intact for us. 🙏 We'll definitely go back next time we're in town.

Access notes: long flight of stairs up to second floor where the cafe is located.

Went just to wait for our table at Crow’s Nest on the 2nd floor which was perfect. Atmosphere is a whole vibe✨ and lattes were delicious. The highlight was the snickerdoodle cookie. Not sure if it’s seasonal but it was the perfect texture. Best cookie ever!

Great environment and just an overall cute place. However, they did mess up my order and overcharge me, but when I pointed out the error they were more than happy to fix it and give me some of my money back.
The coffee here is really great too! I just wish they were open later...

Very nice baristas and good coffee. A nice place to sit while you wait for The Crow's Nest upstairs.

Ordered a chocolate + cherry late with almond milk. I ended up adding more sugar to the latte. (Maybe that's just because I am so used to Biggby's insane amount of sugar content.) The atmosphere is welcoming and the barista was cheerful and a good multitasker. Cute hand painted signs tell you everything. Nice decorative touch.

This is a pretty good place based on my experience. The Honey Almond Cappuccino was good, and the Chai Latte was quite nice.

Lots of table & bar seating, free wifi, wonderful art (current installation by Jamie Whitledge is amazing) and interesting blends, including the "Cosmic Cocoa" (a golden milk drink with cocoa powder) & "Witches Brew" (pictured here), a blend of chai & cider. Lots of pastry options & the restaurant upstairs, Crow's Nest, is happy to bring your order downstairs. The only negative, for me, is the "alternative milk" options were really pricey ($1 for oat milk or almond milk).
