River Stop Cafe

I have mixed feelings about this place. Their coffee drinks are as good as you can get around here. And the food is delicious and I like the fact that it always tastes fresh. However, their portions are a little ridiculous for what they charge. For example, this past weekend my boyfreind and I went. I had their special. It was the bleusy turkey. It really was delicious..the flavors were great together. But it was a pricey little sandwich and when I got it, there was one thin slice of turkey on it. That is not a sandwich. And it came with 2 "sides" which were about 5 tortilla chips and coleslaw that was in such a small container I could hardly fit my fork in it to scoop it out. It was in a container the size of which you'd put ketchup in to dip fries. So I had that and my boyfriend had the campfire bagel. We each had a coffee..just a plain coffee not one of the specialty drinks. He got a small cinnamon bun and I got a small brownie and our bill was $30 and we both left hungry. The service was great...staff friendly. So, while the food is good and the experience always pleasant, I just can't justify paying so much for so little. Plus there is not very much seating room and there is so much congestion at the counter you can't even get through the restaurant

Has been our favorite cafe for years

Always the best go-to Brunch spot! Gotta try the New-Way-To-Go coffee...hands down the smoothest mixture of espresso, flavor, & delicious coffee!

One of our favorite places!

My husband and I worked here all week and loved our time at this cafe. All the staff welcomed us and took great care of us! They've got a great menu for vegetarians and a decent bar selection.

Exceptional quality food, farm fresh. Delicious sandwiches and baked goods. One of our favorite stops we look forward to each visit. We enjoy sitting outside in the summer, with the vegetables and herbs growing in containers and pots around you.

Looked like a cute place so we popped in for brunch. The service was mediocre at best, apparently the breakfast service stops before noon... I've never seen that anywhere. Then the server dunked their thumb in my latte, I'm not a germaphobe but that's kinda gross.

The food too was mediocre, I got a Yardbird sandwich and as the name suggests it should have chicken, but it did not... Made for a strange BLT. My friends who were with me also mentioned the dry muffin and the underbaked cherry tart. Overall not the best experience, I would reccomend going to the Newaygo Brewing Co. across the street, their food was amazing!

Generally good food, service isn't always on spot (in fact it's generally slow), the atmosphere is what brings me back and the few long time employees. My order gets messed up on a routine basis. I guess I get to take the glass mug home as I asked for my latte to go. All of this was after standing at the counter for over 5 minutes before the gal standing at said counter acknowledged me.

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff (our waitress seemed new, struggled a bit and it was very busy : this is where a star was lost) food tasted great.

My favorite place to be in the morning! Awesome staff, good food and great coffee!
