Phenomenal coffee. Fabulous barista humans. Delicious treats. Vibe is on point. This is my go-to coffee shop every time I visit GR.

Love this coffee shop to break up the work day. Only downfall is they don’t serve cold brew, only nitro - opt for an iced coffee if cold brew is your go to. Stop next door when you leave for a loaf of bread from Nantucket bread co.

Lyon Street Cafe has been rolling with to-go only orders since the beginning of the outbreak, and they have the cutest setup at their door. Although we miss hanging out inside their shop, we aren’t complaining about the new cozy greenhouses you can sit in outside! ☕️ (Featuring pastries from Nantucket Baking Co ☺️)⁣⁣

Great place to sit and enjoy some coffee and treats.

Beautiful coffee shop with excellent espresso. There is a large selection of seating options, however the shop is usually packed! They offer a wide variety of drinks along with several pastry options. Very high quality staff! There is customer parking available.

Super tasty lattes and espresso. Their pour over is very solid as well! Be careful going on Saturdays, if you get there after 9 a.m. youre sure to have a long wait. But, it usually is worth the long line!

This place is just fantastic. The vibe inside is super laid back, the music is always on point, the treats are delicious, and the Cafe Miel is the best I have ever had. They know what they’re doing here and it shows. The only thing I would change about this place is that I would make it bigger so there would be more seating, but I know that the seats fill up because they are full of people who love this place as much as I do.

Great coffee and excellent customer service- it is always a pleasure to come here. They also adapted well to the covid situation and were one of the first business I saw setting up cute little heated houses.

The line moved pretty slow but the coffee was exceptional!!!

I loved the vibe that you get from the moment you walk in. Its very well lit, cozy and the music is at the right volume. Staff was very helpful and the menu is not overfilled. The pastry looked good but Ill try it next time. This time I had a chai latte, it tasted really good!

Tight vibes, great service and employees, the raspberry crostini was legit and the cappuccinos are on the stronger side. Nothing that blew me out of the water but I’ll comeback for sure. Great cafe

Place is good, like the ambience. Not too many food options though. Coffee was good.

Fun place to eat. Unique menu selections. Staff was attentive and helpful. Had the feta wrapped grape leaves. Yum.

Amazing coffee at this small coffee shop.

Fantastic staff, always pleasant, always courteous. Bring back the banana honey toast! 😋

First time here. Ordered the Rosemary Honey Latte (sounds like it is a seasonal flavor) and OMG I am in heaven! Listen, I dont like Christmas, but this thing tastes LIKE Christmas, and its delightful!!! Highly recommend it. Im glad I went out on a limb to try this odd flavor combo. Cannoli was tasty too, and what a great atmosphere. It seemed loud when I walked in, but after 5 minutes of being here, everything kind of blended together and it was super cozy. Love the simple decor and the laid back feel. Cant wait to come back!

Loved their lavender latte! Also, they closed their indoor seating but their outside tables and greenhouses were so wonderful to enjoy!

One of my favorite cafés in GR. Great coffee options (pour over, espressos) and seasonal drinks. So happy theyre open again :)

I have gone twice and had the same issue where I thought the coffee was nice in terms of taste but was not very hot. The individual heated seating areas are great!

These peeps be slinging drinks among the worlds best, I mean, an entire crew who cares about their interactions, its like a bunch of little worlds in a bigger world and that world reaches out to hand you a coffee or toast, and its like a woohoo cheers kinda thing! Im digging the beans, the eyebrows, and the heart of this place. peace b 4ever, amen.

Cute little spot with friendly people. Good coffee and pastries.

Good coffee. Nice staff.

Good coffee, delicious light refreshments to choose from, mostly baked goods/sweets.

Really good spot for coffee in town. Today when we went they had mini greenhouses where you could sit and drink your coffee or work from. Super cool!

I ordered at the window and was able to sit in a little heated cabin! Great coffee, Great environment.

Good service, I guess.

My favorite coffee shop in GR. Pleasant, with excellent drinks.They make the best cafe Miel in town, and I find it to be much more parking assessable than other quality competing coffee shops

My favorite coffee shop in Grand Rapids. The coffee is wonderful, the interior is welcoming, the counter people are lovely, they serve Nantucket Bakery baked goods, which are incredibly fresh and delicious, and parking is easy. Love, love, love.

Love it! Went before Covid and the coffee was great! Love the atmosphere also!

I was corrected on how to wear MY face mask...I’m a grown woman who knows how to wear it. This place needs to work on correcting themselves before they correct me. I wouldn’t even give this place one star. Definitely not recommending this place to anyone

Love this place. If you can get a seat its a great place to sit and talk or read. In evenings its nice too because they have wine. I like buying a couple macarons at the bakery next door while I wait for my coffee. :)

Lyon Street Cafe used to be a haven for furiously studying students, picking heads up to glance at one another across the sturdy wooden booths and warm Edison style lighting. It was cozy and crowded, frequented by neighborhood regulars as well as an ever changing cast of professionals and bourgeoisie of every ilk.In the post-post-9/11 covid “worst timeline” present they’ve had to drastically change their tact. The temperature is dropping and they, in a refreshingly patron-safety-centric approach, seem to have no plan to open their doors to the almost certain flood of mask-dismissing, germ-disseminating yuppies (I’m looking at you Mary Wheeler). Instead they are creating conditions for a happy outdoor cup of joe all year round, much like Outdoor Coffee has pioneered.I’m sitting now in the first of what is rumored to be 7 greenhouses, equipped with an electric wood stove (not real wood obvi) and ventable ceiling panel. It smells clean and new and best of all private in here, I am occasionally looking up to see the blurred shapes of passerby but am blissfully protected from errant sneezes.If you haven’t checked out Lyon Streets cold weather setup, DON’T! I want it all to myself. But if you do check it out, be sure to say hi. I’ll be the one who’s all moved in to greenhouse number 6.

A family favorite and a classic date location for my parents. Their coffee plus the interior design of the cafe gives off a super cozy vibe. The small bread shop next door gives a perfect combination of local breakfast dining and the best part is that the prices are not obscenely high like some other places that offer the same drinks and food. The only minor thing that I would like to see in the future is some type of space organization. This cafe is very popular and a lot of students and other people come in, sometimes just by themselves and they take up spaces meant for a group so when I come in with friends or family, we often have to either go somewhere else or wait for space to become available. Otherwise, an amazing place to be.

Great service, atmosphere and the coffee was excellent.

Very cozy environment with terrific beverages.

Locals love to come here for coffee and pastries. The staff is friendly and they prepare different specialty coffees. The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting that one can easily spend over an hour here relaxing with a coffee and reading a good book or socializing with friends or a loved one. Definiately one of the best cafes in town.

Great coffee shop! Only problem is its too popular and can be hard to get a table. But means its good!

Crazy good coffee. Some of the best in town. That said, the seating is a little too minimalist and it could benefit from JUST a few more options across the board. But I BARELY feel like I want to take a whole star away because of how good the coffee is, when really... thats what you should judge them for.

Smaller selection of drinks, wider selection of bakery type items with a few sandwiches available. Popular place by the crowd. Id recommend not getting your muffin warmed up as it burns the top and leaves the middle cold.

Best coffee in GR! :)

Trendy little place. Of you like this vibe you love it. Its pretty typical anymore in great fond these little shops. 4 stars. Cant do 5 because I cant tell it from the others. Same old thing. But again if thats your deal then youll love it.

Nice little place. Nantucket Bakery is attached something pastries are nice.Coffee tastes great but there are only pour over and espresso options. Get far too pricey if you want to sit an read the paper or a book. A brew option or even French press would be nice.

A great environment for meeting up with a few friends, getting some work done, or just reading a good book with a great cup of coffee. I was only here once while visiting from out of town, so I cant speak to the entire menu, but they make a proper cappuccino here, and the staff clearly know what they are doing. There are non-dairy options for the vegan and lactose-intolerant crowd, which is always nice. And the baked goods are ridiculously delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

I love this place. Its just a few blocks from my house and has great coffee. The prices are more than reasonable and the staff is super friendly. It can get crowded so dont get your hopes up as far as staying unless you dont mind waiting for a table to open up.

This is the most relaxing place to be with my fiance on the weekend. Im the type of guy that avoids places like Starbucks and Bigby because I know there are places like Lyon Street that are light-years better. They have an excellent condensed menu of drinks that I think more coffee shops should emulate and even when there is seasonal or special drink it is not over-flavored to point where it stops tasting like coffee. Im a very vanilla coffee drinker, but I know that other people get things like oatmilk for their drink so they can cater to those tastes too. One word of warning though, everybody wants to be here so finding a seat to settle into isnt always easy, but it is so worth it.

My home Cafe. The staff is very friendly and the drinks are well crafted. They also have good teas, food, and some beer available. The atmosphere is super comfy, but getting a table can be a challenge.

Lots of students taking up whole booths by themselves making it hard to have a 2 person date or a group each time Ive been in there regardless of the hour. Should have a policy for those kinds of things since its a small yet intimate space.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. While I can’t say it’s my absolute favourite in town, it is definitely high on my list. I love the people who work here; they always make my drink perfect and also give good suggestions. It has a really nice neutral and minimalistic feel to it too. It’s a wonderful place and I definitely reccommend.

Best chai latte here. Can get very busy. I moved over and shared my big table and saw other people sharing too. Yay for sharing tables. Wasnt as quiet as I typically like so I need to put in the headphones. Had a few big groups that were quite loud.

Love the atmosphere and drinks here, and staff are friendly. Unfortunately its usually very crowded, which isnt a problem if you get a seat at one of the normal-sized tables. However, you probably wont without waiting for a while. The small tables dont give you any room to work.

Nice little spot. Great coffee and nice seating areas (note: if meeting more than one person, they have 7 booths but were in high demand as they were never empty for more than 10 seconds).

Overpriced small cups of coffee with TWO DOLLAR refills (of overprices small cups of coffee) that taste bland anyway. Not enough seating and clunky ridiculously uncomfortable chairs and benches. Not sure why people go here to study or drink coffee.

My original review wasgreat quiche. However, I feel like that limits things. Ive gone there 4-5 times again since first review and must say the staff is great, and I have yet to try something from their food that wasnt awesome. Great job folks!

Unfailingly friendly service, good coffee, and a lively vibe make this one of my favorite places to work away from my home office. Reliable wifi, pretty good access to receptacles, free parking lot. A variety of seating options, including my favorite the high stool bar in front which makes it easy to go from sitting to standing and affords a distracting view of the street. Can be a little noisy sometimes for phone calls, and better for brainstorming than high-focus hang-outs.

Super sweet staff, and amazing drinks. The staff are super knowledgable. Pretty good prices for what you get, considering how good the drinks are, and it is literally the cutest shop you will ever set foot into. The atmosphere is gorgeous.

Super cool atmosphere. Employees are really nice and accommodating. The beverages and pastries are superb. Truly a 5 star review that earned it if I ever wrote one... Which I have.

Love the vibe in here, lots of tables, sunlight and friendly staff to go around! Iced lattes, pour overs and food are very tasty!

This is place has the best peach tea in the world. Pairs so well with one of their delicious bakery treats. Only bummer is sometimes it’s hard to find seating and fairly loud.

Consistently great service with ultimate cozy vibes. Great place to read or write, meet up with friends, or just enjoy a coffee to go.

This is the perfect place to get work done during the day. I love the neighborhood feel. And be sure to check out Marthas and Nantucket next door. Glad to have such awesome business owners in Midtown investing in the neighborhood.

Great coffee and bakery goodies! In summer a couple of outdoor seats in back.

Very kind and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of teas from Rishi, and they know how to make a tea latte that is neither too watery or too milky. They have a nice curated selection of beer and wine as well as sandwiches and salads, so you could definitely have a nice, quiet lunch there.

Great coffee shop. Delicious coffees & looseleaf teas. Lovely bakery selections. Wonderful place to study or get work done. Good WiFi.

They specialize in pour-over coffee which is strong and interesting. Expensive though, compared to brewed coffee at other coffee shops. The pastries and baked goods are fabulous. Scones, muffins, cakes, bars. Need to go next door for a bagel or quiche though. Despite the cafe in the name, the only food is baked goods from Nantucket Baking next door and some specialty desserts from Marthas Vineyard around the corner. This is located in a neighborhood in an upcoming hip area near downtown. In the summer, this place is always cold inside--too cold for me! You can sit outside, though, to enjoy your coffee and a treat.

Dont let the rustic aesthetic fool you. This place is deceptively modern. A warm and cozy at home feeling, serving fine cafe sweet treats and delicious drinks and those electrical outlets that also have USB ports in them all combine to create a wonderful space in the Northeast Neighborhood Area. Not to mention the wonderful staff, and the proximity to both Nantucket Bakery and Marthas Vineyard (both local established favorites).

So lovely and pretty here! Prices are typical for a fancy/hipster coffee place. Food and treats look amaaazing 🤤My only complaint is that the food is not labeled and it was too busy to bother the baristas about what everything was. I’d love to see the food labeled so I could make a quick selection!Definitely will be returning to this little gem.

Excellent coffee, delicious treats from the bakery next door (from cupcakes and fresh fruit tarts to quiche and muffins), friendly baristas and great atmosphere. One of my favorite spots to work from. Would be a great place to take a date. Plenty of free parking close by. Highly recommend.

A great place to grab a decent cappuccino and a pastry. The atmosphere is fairly relaxed and youll see a variety of people enjoying their coffee here. However, due to its popularity you will have a hard time finding a place to sit.

Great coffee shop. Its always busy because its so popular, but for a good reason. The coffee is great.

Everything about Lyon Street Cafè is a win for me. For starters, its gorgeous and impeccably clean. The service is wonderful. And the coffee is soooo good! Oh and the goodies are insanely beautiful and yummy!! And they take ApplePay.... which their neighbors do not. For me thats a must.

Hoppin neighborhood place overflowing with college students, families, dogs and good vibes. We sat at the outside tables because of the perfect weather. Ambient sounds and sights included roller bladers, music, random scream from a nearby house. We got here at 11:45am and were able to snag two of their last sandwiches and salads (premade). Closes at 2.

Super friendly staff and really well made drinks. Always a pleasure going in for a coffee or tea latte! Also, oat milk, 10/10, would recommend.

Nice coffee shop. Good coffee. Plenty of seating

I don’t come to town often, but when I do, I always make sure to come here. Great coffee and environment

One of my favorite places ‘to be’Nice variety of drinks and tasty treats.

THIS IS THE WORST CAFE IVE EVER BEEN TO! Do not waste your time and money. Im giving this one star because I cant give zero stars. The music they played belonged in a night club.The service was very uncomfortable and unhelpful. To get a simple drink took way longer than it should have. I will never be returning

One of the best places to sit in GR, but you will be competing with everyone in GR to get a seat. Which is a good problem to have for Lyon St Cafe :) they have great coffee and great neighboring businesses so you can have one-stop food shopping

Cool place! Nice folks! Good coffee!

The ambiance is light and clean. The staff is personable and professional. The coffee and tea is top quality. Truly worth a 5 star rating.

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff, superb coffee. One of the best cafes Ive visited bar none

Grabbing a Cafe Miel and doing some work on Friday morning is quite possibly the best part of my week. Granted, I probably need a better life, but in the meantime, at least I have Lyon Street Cafe.

We live right across the street from wealthy street bakery but prefer driving here just because its so much better.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere here! Several different seating options, including a stand-up tables, a bar and booths. Minimalist style, but still felt warm and very local and excellent tea selection.

I love this place. Music a little bit louder. I hope they can readjust the music. other than that everything is great.

Had a new drink! amazing ! it was light seating and a bit slow service but well worth it! Im still raving about my espresso with cinnamon and honey:) The mocha was great and the creame art was fun

This place has the vibes of a cute, cozy, hidden, little Parisian Cafe. Its on a quiet brick road and next to a bakery, where they get their baked goods, which are amazing!!They have great seating by the window, and wood booths and tables. The coffee is really really great. I got a Cafe Meil and loved it. I also got some baked good that had baked merrienge and custard and fruit 😍 It was SO good.My only thing I didnt like was that it is rather small, and therefore can be a little crowded and noisy! But, thats just my personal preference, I like quiet coffee shops!

So cute! Busy place! Good spot for homework unless you get distracted easily!

Delicious iced coffee. Perfect without cream or sugar.

Love this place! Were here every time we go to Grand Rapids - go next door and pick up a nutella muffin from Nantucket Bakery!

Cool spot right near downtown. Definitely recommend buying some baked goods while there too.

Always a great place to Stop for caffeine related or now cocktails too!

Welcoming, low key atmosphere and decent prices. Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious treats from Nantucket Bakery (next door).

Relaxed and inviting decor with a welcoming staff, great coffee and pastries in a pet friendly environment!!

Good Coffee, friendly staff, and a good amount of seating. Usually not a problem grabbing a table.

The coffee is amazing and the staff are so nice!!

Great food, great coffee, friendly staff. The atmosphere is nice to do work and also makes a great meeting place.

Nice and simple drink menu. Friendly staff. When its busy the noise isnt too loud to talk with company or focus on your studies.

Great little place, nice cold sandwiches and cold brew coffee

Lyon is a great neighborhood haunt. And they take advantage of the other great local businesses by selling baked goods from Nantucket and sandwiches and fruit cups from Marthas.Staff is always friendly. Drinks may take a while when they are busy, I really dont see this as a downside. They craft their coffee drinks, not just throw them together. I DO wish they had caramel or hazelnut flavors. I understand that their menu is very classic coffee drinks, even having a miel and cortado, but sometimes a girl wants an iced americano with a splash of hazelnut or caramel, am I right?Seating can be iffy. A lot of people like to take up tables meant for groups, but, I guess, coffee shops tend to cater more to singles who are there to concentrate or relax alone. And you can always politely ask to join another solo at their table.Theres seating in the front and back which is nice when the weather isnt crummy.Atmosphere is perfect: not too sterile and modern, not too dark and mopey. I recommend this place to groups who are doing projects, people catching up, or even a first date, just be courteous to others around you and keep the volume polite, as most of their clientele seems to be studying students.

It is a fine open industrial cafe. They serve treats from the bakery next door. The noise level is annoying.
