Always a pleasure to visit Global Infusion, especially each year todays date of when my partner and I met there. Best service, great selection of Fair Trade merchandise, and teas galore to choose from! Thanks for making it through the pandemic so we can continue to enjoy for years to come!

I absolutely love this place. Not only are their drinks phenomenal, but the staff is always so kind and helpful! Normally I see Julia when I’m there and she’s a ray of sunshine. The chai... is one of the best things ever. And their seasonal tea drinks are great.

Really cute coffee/Fair Trade shop with a ton of different loose leaf teas, organic snacks, and cute, nifty items. I’ve gone a couple of times and have had really good service from the staff both times! It’s right next to two cute clothing shops as well, which is convenient. There’s quite a few tables to sit at inside, which is nice for if you want to just sit down and talk or relax. I love their coffee options. The price for the ground coffee isn’t horrible. A bag of ground coffee is usually $12.00. I like the brand I usually get there, so I just pay it anyways. Hoping to buy some loose leaf tea next time. (:

Theres so much to love here! I had forgotten just how many herbs and spices they have to offer in bulk! You can email your order ahead of time to pick up. They make the BEST chia tea ever and have a full tea and coffee bar, plus bulk tea to go. Warm and wonderful staff, always!

A charming little place with a huge selection of interesting teas at not-ludicrous prices like a few tea places Ive visited. very friendly service, too. the person who served us clearly loves the place and what they do. Id come back frequently if I didnt live abroad but I suppose bring from England gives my positive review of a tea shop more weight, right? rrrright?

Global Infusion is a lovely little shop that embodies Eastown - its eclectic, well traveled, and diverse. They have a wide variety of goods offered including spices, loose leaf tea, coffee (both beans and ready to order beverages), jewelry, candles, and many other globally centric gifts and goodies. They spices alone are worth the trip - Im an avid cook and they offer the freshest and widest variety of spices in the area. The staff is always cajoling and helpful, to boot. A true gem in Grand Rapids!

Love Global Infusion - if I lived right here I would stop by more often! Great selection of teas and spices and other items. They sell drinks made to order, I believe. They also carry Rise donuts (GF and vegan) which are such a treat. The employees are kind and lovely, helpful people. There is a great energy here!!

Review №38

Global Infusion has been a godsend. They have excellent loose leaf teas and spices. Its honestly the only one Ive found in the whole state with good loose leaf teas. You can also sit in and have them make you tea, which is quite tasty. Theres just something wholesome about selecting your own massive glass jar of loose leaf and measuring it out. You can also buy knick knacks and coffees theyve ethically sourced. Its basically just the gentlest atmosphere of any commercial place Ive ever been in.

If you are interested in a tea shop with a large selection of loose leaf teas, look no more. I enjoyed an unexpected, yet amazingly delightful cinnamon pecan rooibos tea with a vegan donut. They also sell there bamboo utensils, which are rare to find. I highly recommend walking through the selections and allowing your sense of smell to pick the experience for you.

This place is a mix of cafe/bulk goods/ten thousand villages. If you need a pick me up, a gift and some loose high quality spices, this is for sure your one stop shop. The staff is supremely friendly and it is a lovely place to just sit and relax or study with a cuppa.

A wonderful, fair trade coffee shop and store. They sell teas, herbs and more in bulk, which I love because, not only is it more eco-friendly, I can try something new without buying a lot of it! I found vegan fairtrade chocolate chips today, too!

Love this store, even though my husband and I left Grand Rapids years ago we try to make yearly pilgrimages just to visit our favorite spots. Global infusion is one of the best. They have tea and spices by the oz or to be brewed there and enjoyed immediately. They have fun odds and ends there too like chocolate, jewelry, and paper products. Prices are totally affordable and their selection is mouth-watering. Highly recommend their cherry sencha or blueberry roobios.

Owner is sweet, friendly, genuine and down to earth. We had an instant connection. My mom and I loved meeting you and were impressed with you!I love the smell in here. It’s one place besides Reed’s Lake that I can go to relax, be in peace, and went out. The chai and mocha latte, and selection of herbal teas are great and soothe me. Please support local, and fair trade, come meet the friendly staff and owner. You will be delighted!Some bumps in the road: Sometimes it’s too busy and kids are noisy and crying which bothers me when I have a headache, I’m sensitive. I love kids though. It’s just not fulfilling when you came to your little safe haven with screams and cries when I’m there to relax and unwind. Seating space was an issue for me several times. My free chai last time wasn’t what I usually get, it tasted bland, so I was a little disappointed in the chai. Some seem to make it better than others. Other than that, I still come here whoever I get a chance on Saturdays.😊🌷
