I recommend this place to so many people. Family favorite is the cinnamon roll(I've tried them many places, and so far, this one can't be beat!). I love that they have vegan options (baked goods and drinks)!
Haven't been there in a while, as I am not a "coffee shop" kinda guy... But my daughter wanted to meet in Ionia, so I recommended we go there. (Her first time!) I had forgotten just how great the service was! But more importantly, I hadn't had one of their world famous cinnamon rolls for way too long! My daughter asked why I had never taken her there before. She bought several single pot sizes of their wonderful roasted coffee blends for her rental cottage. This is a great coffee shop with very friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Take my word... You'll thank me!
Fantastic locally owned coffee shop and bakery. Thoughtful and comfortable. Great place to come and relax with some friends or just grab a quick amazing coffee through the drive through. The owners to staff are engaging and passionate. This is must stop coffee house. Black bear dark coffee rocks! Well that's my favorite at least.
Driving through Ionia and made a quick coffee stop. Fun vibe while still relaxing. Server was sweet and friendly. Looks like they have a small conference/meeting room available. Latte was HOT how I like it, and good!
Their speciality coffees are the bomb! My absolute favorite place to buy lattes, whole bean, & ground coffee. My son who lives in Virginia loves the whole bean. He wishes they shipped so he could get it more than 2 times per year. Owners are super nice & always seem to hire great help.
I was just passing through the area and literally turned around when I saw this coffee shop open. It's nice to see a local coffee shop open after 5! I did show up a few minutes before they closed but the staff was kind. The coffee was robust and the gluten free mini poppyseed loaf was delightful. Thank you for offering gluten free desserts!
A great friendly coffee shop. They have the BEST gluten free donuts I've had yet! It's fun to go in every morning and see the selection of yummy baked good. Usually there is something special that is gluten free as well.
Sozo checks all the boxes. As a home roaster I understand and care about ethically sourced beans. Sozo does an excellent job of paying their farmers so that we can have high quality beans for a delicious cup. It’s truly excellent coffee: pour over, espresso, and drip coffee. Oh, and lattes if you’re into that thing :)
