Great vibe, cool little spot to grab a hot/cold drink and relax in their courtyard. Socialize and kick your feet back for a coffee break. We tried various drinks here: cold brew, flavored latte’s, and espresso milkshakes. All were great. Looking forward to being back.

My friends joke that I am at Outside Coffee more than my own house and I cant argue with that. I love the aurora of this place so much. The coffee is always great, the baristas are so kind, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Ive been coming more and more because 1) I live in the area and 2) its one of the few public places during the pandemic that I feel genuinely safe in. Ive truly never had a bad experience here and am so proud to be a regular!

Had my best vegan chocolate affogato today. I had been craving some and since I turned vegan. This by by far was the best one. Try swapping vanilla ice cream with chocolate.

Went here for the first time with a friend and it was great. I wish they had more flavor options for drinks, but I understand they can only do so much. It was such a beautiful place (and filled with dogs). It was so different from a regular coffee shop. Theres something comforting about being outside and enjoying the company of not only the people around you, but the scenery as well.A plus: they have different kinds of seating and hammocks which is pretty cool :3

This is a great little spot. Today I had the espresso milkshake. The flavor was perfect for a warm fall day! I usually get hot chocolate with espresso in it. The flavor is always on point. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant.

This team has had such a gem of a space! But I love the environment they have created! This space is fun to witness the seasons of the year at and their fireplaces and igloos are such a joy to sit, drink coffee and have a fun hour to spend chatting + caffeinating!

First time here! They had milk alternatives and delicious coffee. Other drink options outside of coffee too, including milkshakes! Loved the outdoor setup with igloos, fire places and hammocks. I noticed many people on computers so assuming they have WiFi as well. They enforced state guidelines on face masks and social distancing although outside, which was appreciated. Would recommend!

I absolutely loved coming here! My friends and I came here in the winter and it was snowy and cozy. There are heaters inside of the little bubbles that you can sit in and you order from the truck. They have a variety of options and the service is very good but a little slow. The atmosphere is so pretty, it is such a great place

A garden type setting in the heart of the city. Quiet and relaxing oasis to sit and savor your favorite hot or cold beverage. Friendly staff.

Its a nice place. The environment and ambiance here is five stars, but everything else is four stars. The menu items and selection are pretty decent. I had a couple different drinks and they were both ok nothing overly amazing. The price is fair I believe and the attendants at the coffee truck were both really nice. I think Ill be coming back for the nice environment alone.

Loved the fresh air, outdoorsy atmosphere. Unique and fun experience with the igloos and fire pits! Wonderful customer service with wholesome, quality menu! One of my favorite food experiences on our trip to GR. We will definitely be back!

Review №16

LOVE this amazing and niche space. Such an experience every time you go. They have hammocks and fires in the fall and winter. They usually will have igloos when its cold as well. They have a great selection and some great food. Their ice cream is vegan and so good. Theyve got some good non-coffee options as well. They always have seasonal options which are really good. All seating is outside. Great place to study outside and have a coffee, or catch up with friends!

Always friendly and helpful staff. The concept is fantastic and allows you to get more time outdoors. The environment is welcoming and pet friendly too! There’s plenty of places to have a conversation with friends, or make some new friends at the community style tables.

One of the best kept secrets in Grand Rapids. Have a coffee or latte and relax in a beautifully curated outdoor setting that feels like a best friends backyard. Try out the avocado toast for an easy breakfast or afternoon snack.

Contrary to listed hours, they close at 5 pm, not 7 during the week.Sadly, I drove quite a distance looking forward to an iced honey lavender latte to find the gate locked. 😩

Vibe is 100. Orange Rose Matcha Latte on the spring specials menu? Also 100. Perfect place to grab your morning cup and sit outside in the sun. Was in town for just the weekend and went here three times. Got a bag of coffee to take home and the coffee drinker in our household reports that it is sublime!

Outside Coffee Co is such a community space. They provide everyone with a welcoming environment to retreat with a coffee, ice cream, or food and take a much needed outdoor break. I have enjoyed trying a few different menu items and they all surpassed my expectations. The eco friendly cups and cool aesthetic only make them better.

Outside coffee has made the Midwest winter fun for adults! This place offers a playful experience in the heart of downtown. Their emphasis on local engagement as well as offering a great cup of joe warrants a visit by every tourist and local.

Super cute outdoor space to enjoy coffee. We rented an igloo and it was well worth it. No cost to reserve and they’re heated but recommend reserving at least a week in advance. Coffee was very good as well and close to lots of other local stops!

A wonderful coffee shop to visit when the weather is nice. It feels like having coffee in your neighbors back yard. Great music, fantastic scenery, excellent coffee and toasts. I believe they even have ice cream now, so not just for your morning wake up call anymore.

This place is so cute! As I was visiting the area, I really enjoyed the experience here. The lattes are very sweet. So if you dont enjoy a sweet latte, I would choose a different beverage. I love that they had mini heating units inside the igloos that were warm enough that we didnt freeze, but not too hot so we didnt burn. Inside the igloo, our group enjoyed the seating. All 8 of us could sit comfortably and enjoy our beverage!

Good drinks and a nice variety of seating! Often super busy when I come so you have to wait a bit if you’d like to sit somewhere but the atmosphere is nice so it’s worth it!love the music selection too

Review №39

Great coffee and cute outdoor seating but be aware that you may be approached by a homeless man asking you to buy him coffee. This happened to me and I was happy to buy him a coffee, however, when I gave him his coffee he kept pressuring for money and it made me feel uncomfortable. It seems to be a common issue there because the staff apologized and seemed to know the guy by name.

This place is worth all the hype. It’s so much fun! Sure, the drinks are a smidge pricey, but not when you consider that the ambiance is included! Such a charming spot! Love the geodesic domes & other creative seating including hammocks & Adirondacks gathered around fire pits. Lovely foliage around the gravel pathway.TIP—> you can snap the QR code to reserve the geodesic dome (with a small heater inside), or plan ahead & dress warmly if it is cold out.TIP—> pups are welcome! I can’t wait to have a puppy playdate here!TIP—> stop in next door at Woosah for a fun & funky artist’s cabin vibe. Artwork, clothing, & outdoor gear (including some items for furry friends). The same gal owns & operates both, & does a phenomenal job!

A truly lovely experience! The service was excellent. The coffee was very good. The fire side seating is very nice, and the igloos (there are three) are quiet and relaxing, perfect for a nice conversation with friends. A reservation gives you 30 minutes.

The coffee is top notch, the atmosphere is one-of-a-kind, and the service is excellent. They have done an awesome job with COVID safety, and their outdoor seating is great. I recently went when it was 19 degrees and stayed comfortable - especially since we reserved a tent! Highly recommend!

I am visiting outside coffee on one of the first warm days of 2019 and its very cool. I ordered the viking, which is similar to a red eye, and it was delicious! Choice of light or medium roast on the brew as well! Overall great, relaxing experience.

This is such a cute outdoor spot for coffee, tea, and a tasty bite to eat. I visited in May and the weeping cherry blossom tree in the corner, arching over the hammock and lounging chairs was the idyllic. The tea was great and the toast was delicious.

Review №63

During a recent visit, one person in a party of 7 others who had not yet received their coffee had their mask pulled down slightly, not fully covering their nose. The other 7 in the party had received their coffee and were completely unmasked. The member of our party with their mask down SLIGHTLY was harangued and shamed by an employee to adjust their mask. Outside Coffee is good and apparently is so good that having it in your hand is equally effective as a mask. Poor situational awareness on their part.

Review №69

They have a niche! And it’s the cutest effing thing I’ve ever seen. Step up and order a coffee -fancy, plain, hot, cold, etc- from a repurposed camper! I had the honey lavender cold brew. My taste buds will never be the same. Grab your coffee and step into a bubble of your choosing. Take a break from your everyday or stop by on your lunch break. An ideal spot to grab that perfect social media moment for all you lifestyle bloggers and photo enthusiasts. Sit back and enjoy some fresh air, and outdoor scenery, with the comfort of the indoors. A light drizzle was icing on the cake for me.

Unique coffee experience offering a solid cup of coffee as well as other coffee shop staples out of a vintage camper. Its set in a pleasant garden area with seating scattered around, including a couple hammocks and clear bubble-tents with space heaters inside to escape the cold. String lights complete the cost atmosphere. If you want a good cup of coffee outside the walls of a cramped cafe, this is your spot.

Review №76

Great coffee and matcha, AND vegan ice cream!!! A variety of seating options including heated bubble domes in winter months. Fire pits too. Dogs are welcome and there are porta potties if you gotta go. No indoor seating (that should be obvious from the name though), however they are associated with WOOSAH, the outdoor adventure store adjacent, so if youre cold or want to window shop you can always step inside their shoppe. This place is a favorite of mine.BIPOC & LGBTQ+ supportive!💕 Great people, great coffee, great asthetic. Not sure what more you could want.(Masks required when not seated as of this review on 3.8.21)

Outside coffee is one of my favorite places to get coffee on a Saturday morning with my husband. I usually get the Iced Vanilla Latte and he gets the Mocha and both are delicious and my only complaint is that we drink it too quick! I love the seating areas both in the summer and winter. In the winter they have these nice warm igloos that are the perfect cozy destination and the hammocks in the summer are a nice touch.

A quaint little spot to get a really good cup of coffee in one of the most fun spots in Grand Rapids. The staff is very knowledgeable and they are more than happy to help craft the perfect coffee for you. I also enjoyed that they use eco friendly cups and straws.

A great experience with great coffee! I got the turmeric drink which was amazing. The outdoor seating is very fun! Staff was very good about enforcing the mask rule during Covid. We had to wear a mask when ordering and walking around but could take it off once we got to our table. I felt extra safe coming here during Covid since its all outdoors!

Great idea and very cute. Would love better space heaters for the igloo...was only warm if you had you hands right up to them. The coffee was not good. But we only had the lattes so I cant judge anything else. Would love to come back in the summer
