Great experience at PaLatte! Stopped here while visiting the area for ArtPrize and was happy to see that PaLatte hosted different artist in their shop. I got the lavender matcha latte and it was delicious! A small cup was a little over $5. Will definitely stop by if Im in the area again!

Their bar has lots of exotic liquors (galliano, nocino, absinthe for example). The space is snug with a good atmosphere. Prices are a little bit high.

I love this little place! The atmosphere is cozy and clean! It’s even better that there is always an assortment of local art being showcased! They have a huge number of options of drinks to pick from and the employees are more than willing to make whatever you’d like! I’ve been coming here for a while and every time I do, I could spend hours here! The chairs are so comfortable and the whole place just has a really neat feel to it!

Super cute coffee shop with great beverages and awesome atmosphere. The walls are covered in cool local art and our barista was very friendly and helpful. They have all your classic coffee shop bevs as well as some more unique ones (like a snickers latte), plus a great selection of tea for the few of us who don’t like coffee 🙃☕️

I was here a few seconds ago but someone called me right before I get to the door. I left my bag pack on one of tables and came by front door chairs to talk to her so that i don’t bother the guy sitting next to my table. 5 min or less later and the barista/guy behind counter came to me while I was still talking over phone and said: “ hey man you should buy a drink if you want to hang out here”. So I picked up my bag and left.I was originally planning to buy a cappuccino as its advertised on their door. Instead I ended up giving them 2 star (I spend 5 minutes inside the coffee house and they had comfy chairs). I thought we are past Starbucks controversy era .Not sure how they have 4.8 starts... maybe they are not always like this or maybe was a tough day for Barista.

It’s always an enjoyable experience at PaLatte - between the delicious hot beverages and the awesome art on the walls, you can tell a lot of thought and care goes into what they do there to create a neat atmosphere and great coffee

So cute, cozy chairs, and the most friendly Batista in town. I also love that the cafe doubles as a gallery with incredible art you can admire and even purchase if you so choose. The coffee is of course delicious, and the lattes are properly distinct from cappuccinos. This place knows what theyre doing!

Great coffee, fantastic service. The inside is beautiful and very cozy. I used to go after school every once in a while, and the barista was always very helpful and kind. They even put up with the after school high school crowd, which I know can be a... difficult group. Highly recommend.

Cool little coffee shop in a convenient spot downtown. Good coffee with some fun sweeter drinks too. Decent tea selection as well. Kind and competent if not expedient service. Great spot to study in a comfy seat for a while. Tends to collect interesting art on the walls and people in the chairs.

Review №28

Cozy atmosphere located on the side of town with very little competition for coffee shops. It’s pretty little inside with more conversational style seating. The customer service was good, but PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK THE DATE ON ANYTHING YOU EAT. I work in the food service industry and this place doesn’t follow the health code very strictly. Their pastry case was gross and had fruit flies, another time my biscotti was expired, also, they keep the microwave under the sink (a few inches from the floor) which isn’t sanitary.

I loved the atmosphere here. I specifically set out looking for a place with lounge chairs and a laid back vibe so I could relax while reading a book and clearing my mind away from home. I found exactly what I was looking for in PaLatte. Never lose the chairs! They make this place so much better than any regular coffee shop.Honestly, while the art was nice, it didnt add anything to the experience for me. Ive seen other places have art for sale on the walls so there was no novelty in it for me. Obviously being part of the name, indicates the owners intended on that being a major selling/talking point. Perhaps other would appreciate it more than I did, but I could take it or leave it.The coffee was great. I ordered a 16 oz mocha with a shot of caramel and a raspberry danish to go with it as I hadnt eaten at all yet that day. The danish was average. The coffee was above.Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet place to unwind.

Great little coffee shop downtown. Definitely recommend the mocha latte. The service was great and the artwork is amazing. In addition to the mocha, I had a black Sumatra, but I wasnt terribly impressed, it was just OK. I will for sure visit again. Nice place to chill out for a bit.

Pa Latte is ALWAYS a pleasant experience. It is family-owned and they are dedicated to offering Grand Rapids the *best* coffee experience that can be found in the city. Western Michigan, for that matter. They are very knowledgeable about all their coffees and truly enjoy being baristas.Do yourself a favor and visit them soon!

Review №36

This place is a hidden gem. Staffed by really talented artists and promoting local work, they also make the coffee shop experience what it should be. Not rushed. Very personal. No corporate feel to it at all. Espresso shots are pulled and pressed by hand. Nice, artistic finishing touches on the lattes.

Review №37

Super comfortable and cute! Lots of art, great natural lighting and comfy chairs. Staff are personable and helpful, they started to remember my order within days. The coffee is some of my favorite in the downtown area and I LOVE their seasonal drinks, their “Purple Rain” latte especially is the best latte I’ve had in years.

THIS PLACE! OH MY. This coffee shop is definitely a must go. It is filled with beautiful artwork (some even made one of the owners daughters, a barista) their lavender latte IS TO DIE FOR they are real rich dark flavors and its such a nice, quiet, and beautiful atmosphere. Great place if you are a collector of art as well.

Review №44

Very nice cafe and art venue, they always have something beautiful or amazing on the walls worth studying closely while you wait for your drink. This is the type of cafe I only order lattes or specialty drinks from. If Im not mistaken, they feature locally roasted coffee and not in-house roasted, but the selection is a good local sampling.Atmosphere is very nice here, Id love to come in the afternoon to sit on my computer or read a book for hours. Definitely the place to go if youre in the area, and they typically feature Art Prize artists when its that time of year.

Review №46

PaLatte is my very close second favourite here in Grand Rapids. I am a self proclaimed coffee snob and I cannot think of anything bad to say about this place. I adore their snickers latte and I also love the cozy feeling of the place. I like that they change out the art regularly so I never get bored just staring at the wall for a while. This is definitely one of those coffee shops that you want to go to so you can hang out with friends instead of just being on your laptop, although that’s not bad here either.

THE ART!! The coffee is great, but the art!! I love the atmosphere here and highly recommend coming with some time to just sit, drink some coffee, and take in the wondrous cafe of PaLatte.

Loving the wingback chairs for an afternoon of lounging! A nice selection of standard coffee drinks with something for lovers of sweet and bitter alike. Great idea covering the walls with work by local artists, hopefully they have the momentum to change the lineup regularly!

Review №51

Pros: right off several bus lines (silverline, 14, 4, 15). Great downtown location within walking distance of lots of great spots for food or entertainment. Really good drinks (the affogato and purple rain are personal favorites). Relaxed atmosphere with lots of comfortable seating. Lots of great art pieces on display (and for sale, including prints). Very clean. Friendly service.Cons: prices are a bit more expensive, but not terrible for the quality. Nonprint art for sale is very expensive.

Review №52

This lady at the coffee counter has a arrogant attitude. She is kind of condescending and I don’t know whats up with her, but I will not come back...I’ve patronize this business periodically for about 2 years give or take and she has never said good morning to me. Also I asked her if her prices increased because I remember paying a little around $3 for the danish (probably within a few months) now they are around $4/each. She lied and said no increases within 2 years, which is not true because I would have remembered paying $4 for a boxed pastry. Outrageous!...Response to the owner’s comments.. That’s exactly why I took time out of my busy day to post this comment. Now everyone can see truly how rude you are by responding this way. It’s the cost of doing business that I can express my experience and unhappiness with how I was treated by you, the owner. And in regards to comment about how much money I had. I actually walked to my car and made the choice to patronize your business with spare change from my car. But you obviously don’t need new business because you clearly treated me the same way you are now... Like I said before, $4 is more then I wanted to pay for a danish, so I decided not to spend even my spare change there! And due to your nasty attitude It seems that I made a great choice. And I will certainly never enter your place of business again!

While a little on the pricey side (and what coffee shop isnt, really), this is great place. The staff has always been amazing, the coffee enjoyable, and the environment very inviting. I wouldnt necessarily come here for a coffee to-go, though I wouldnt count it out, but it is my go-to anytime says, lets grab a coffee and chat.

I love the coffee here, the muffins, the art. I come here often. Today, I came in and wasnt greeted, no biggie. When I said hi, she just looked at me and asked what I wanted. The barista had teal hair. Just seemed strange and rude to me. Guess I am used to the owner working with her great energy and spirit.

Coffee was delicious! Had the seasonal lattes - Purple Rain (lavender honey) and Nutella - and they were both well balanced and not too sweet. Atmosphere was comfortable, staff was personable and there are comfortable wingbacks to sit in and read or converse. Also enjoyed looking at the ArtPrize entries hanging on the walls. Good cup of coffee!
