I hate to stand in long lines when I want to eat or drink. However, some places worth the long wait and definitely the Coffee bar is ON THE TOP of that list. Coffee bar is just an amazing coffee place. The staff are very professional and friendly. We ordered Nitro coffee, Avocado toast and strawberry waffles. Everything was simply JOYLICIOUS. This was my first time and definitely won’t be the last. Keep up the “JOYLICIOUS” work guys !!!
Let me ved the open air feel with garage style doors, chic interior with a community feel filled with conversations. The Vietnamese and Honey Cinnamon Lattes and shared Avocado Toast. Be be prepared wait a little longer than one is accustom for your coffee. Remember quality takes time. Cool staff with a friendly feel.
This coffee bar is incredible! Everything is super fresh from the coffee to the pastries. I had the old soul latte, which was a wonderful blend of flavors. The building is very open and airy, definitely worth the stop for a coffee and snack.
This place was absolutely fantastically amazingly awesomeness with a big side of wonderfully spectacularly greatness!! My first time in Holland and Im soooooooooo happy I stopped in here. Please please please do not pass this place up on your visit.Update... I failed to mention I ordered the brown sugar molasses latte also. It was soooooooooo freaking good that I had to order another drink; the Creme Brule with the caramelized sugar on top. Both were absolutely mind blowing amazing. I also picked up the peanut butter croissant waffle. My tastes buds were doing the happy dance for many hours. Thank you again for making my day beyond spectacular!!
Great coffee and an excellent selection of specialty drinks and pastries. Relaxing setting, both indoors and outdoors. Staff was friendly and attentive. They even have a small selection of beer on tap. Highly recommend.
Excellent breakfast spot with some really hipster food items. The avocado toast it’s like a work of art. And the coffee drinks are all top-notch. The staff is super friendly.
Stopped in for a brown sugar molasses iced latte, was absolutely amazing and made super quickly even with the Sunday rush. Awesome atmosphere and super friendly staff, 10/10 would recommend!
This place is awesome. Coffee is delicious, as is the food. It has a great atmosphere and the staff is nice and accommodating. Definitely the best coffee shop in Holland!
We had to wait 25 min for a quick americano. Yes, they were busy but they should have been transparent about the wait/delay.
A great coffee shop to meet with friends and colleagues. This place fosters good communication and the coffee/drinks are good too. I enjoy the Old Soul Latte.
We came here, walked from our hotel, and were blown away with its personality, easy, and charm. It was perfect for our family and had something for everyone. The cinnamon roll, donuts, and avocado toast were all amazing and worth the small wait (because how busy they were).
Waffles and coffee were great. Cant go wrong with Avacado toast either.Staff was very friendly and was a great spot of a GOOD quick breakfast a pick me up.
Great drinks including both tea and coffee, unique avocado toast. Fantastic environment including open-air bar
This coffee bar is my new fave! The staff is so pleasant and helpful, beautiful decor inside and out, and simply one of the nicest I’ve been to thus far. Me and my friends all enjoyed our food and drinks, I highly recommend trying the strawberry and Nutella waffles!!! So yummy!!! Can’t wait to return!
Modern design and the perfect balance of taste delivers the best experience in Holland for coffee. The Mocha doesnt over power you and the Miel is phenomenal. Enjoy the smooth drinks and make sure to stop by when the weather is nice. The open shutters make the experience a breath of fresh air (Im not funny.)This review is not paid for by the 205. Its just love at first sip.
Cutest coffee shop ever! The owner was so sweet and cappuccino was delicious. Highly recommend while visiting Holland!
Love this place! Coffee is always amazing and the staff is courteous, and helpful.
The mocha iced coffee was ok and the staff were very courteous as we came in late on accident. I mustve missed the signage for their hours as they were closing at 3pm (we just saw them on our way home & decided to stop). The coffee has a little aftertaste. It comes with whole milk which isnt so bad. I dont normally drink it so I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of it. They do have teas, refrigerated beverages by the door, & some waffles. It was my favorite part of my first trip to Holland.
Love The 205 Coffee Bar! The atmosphere, the employees, the owner...its a gem of a spot in Holland! And phenomenal coffee. :-)
The vibes here ✨. I love the artwork and the atmosphere here, was impressed the minute I saw it. Had the cremebrulatte which was, no lie, one of the best lattes Ive ever had. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Great place to hang out and grab a coffee or a drink!
A nice place to go very friendly and helpful service prices is affordable.
If you’re looking for a place to stop in downtown Holland and not be disappointed, it’s the 205 Coffeebar. Great hospitality, refreshing atmosphere, drinks to fit every fancy, and most recently...croissant waffles! YUM. Made with the perfect mixture of all good things, you can’t go wrong with any of the 5 waffle choices. Snack or meal you decide...they’re delicious at all times of the day.
A top notch place to get coffee. Their staff is friendly, warm and very welcoming. I could not encourage you to visit enough!
I forgot how flavorless their mocha can be. Service was courteous, but I think I just need to try something different if I ever go again. A nearly $8 triple mocha that just tastes like steamed milk, is a bit more than I like to pay.
Great avocadio toast, there was hardballed eggs over the top, it was best avacado taost ever I had!
This place. Its like they crawled into my mind to figure out my ideal little coffee spot. Absolutely in love, definitely returning.
205 Coffee bar was always my boyfriends & I favorite place to come have a coffee or mix drink / snack definitely miss coming to this awesome joint on the regular ( we relocated out of holland ) but we still try to make a stop when we are out in holland. Very friendly workers great service nice place to unwind a little.
Great spot with an open air environment.
Where to begin with this place?! Amazing staff, fantastic coffee, and you can even get beer and cocktails if you are so inclined! The atmosphere is unique and classy.Had a fantastic conversation with the owner on my last visit. Such a sweet soul and always wants to do her best to assure you are comfortable. Needless to say I have found my coffee spot and can’t wait to come back!
I’ve been stopping by The 205 for a couple years now and it still continues to be my preferred coffee stop. I’ve been blessed to have some great conversations with the owner, who is a blessing to this community. The baristas are always pleasant and they take pride in every drink they make. From coffee to cocktail options, they seem to please the palate every time. The environment is relaxing and when the weather cooperates, having the large doors open allows for a perfect breeze. Stop in and let the aroma you get from the outside take you inside.
Wow! The owner is surly. And for that reason I will not return. Holland is a very small town one should remember.
Amazing atmosphere, good employees, and decent drinks for the price!
Got the strawberries and nutella with a cafe miel and it was very good. Very generous with the strawberries and nutella.
Amazing! Had the avocado toast and banana waffle to eat and the creme brûlée late to drink! Everything was unique and tasty!
If you’re looking for a brilliant latte, good conversation, and nice people, stop by and get your coffee here!
Best avocado toast out there! Might actually drive 2+ hours just to get it again!
Coffee is always good, however the service and the attitude from the owner is not acceptable. My online order took more than 35 minutes and even then I had to go inside and ask for it instead of picking it up at the take out window. They saw me parked out front for more than 15 minutes and yet never acknowledged I was present. I stood at the pick up window for a few minutes, still did not give any indication that they were even working on my order. The help and owner need a lesson in customer service. Look people in the eye. Greet them when they come in the door...and dont scold someone for asking for their order!No... did not march.... and there were already SEVERAL customers in the building... I had waited purposely until after you had a chance to greet the in person customers. It was even after 8:05 and you know that! I am just surprised that you cant even look customers in the eye or greet them kindly as an owner of a business. From the looks of several other reviews, I am not the only one that gets treated this way. Apparently not part of your desired crowd?
Great coffee spot, a little pricey but great space, service and menu options.
Nice place to be on this sunny day to take a moment for a great cup of coffee and breakfast croissant.
Churro waffle ! Great coffee shop with specialty waffles.
Another fantastic experience at 205. We so needed this beautiful space on the edges of downtown! A perfect place to stop in when you have business at the post office!! The murals on the outside are gorgeous (and painted by a local artist!!) and the inside is so chill!! I got many tasks checked off my list here today.The cows in the bathroom made me giggle 😂😂
I appreciate this space and these people so much! The workers are amazing people and the owner is one of the hardest workers I know. They will look out for you even if they don’t know you well. Not to mention the drinks and treats are amazing! 😊Make this a staple coffee shop in your life - you won’t regret it!Latte Drink favorites: The cafe miel,Brown sugar molasses oat milk latteOther drink favorites: The Old Soul - earl grey steamed milk drink with a few subtle flavors added is so comforting and delicious!Kombucha on tapThe brown sugar molasses oat milk latte is really good! I was skeptical because I normally get regular milk but this combo is really great together with the espresso they use and the oat milk it lighter on the stomach:)Did I mention you should go there? 🙂
I absolutely love everything about 205 Coffee Bar! The coffee is always perfect from syrup flavor to the espresso. The staff always goes above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I look forward to the days I get to treat myself to quality coffee at an all time favorite local shop.
Great pourovers. Be prepared to wait. Orders take a bit to get! Kombucha on tap with flavors changing on daily basis.The kombucha is smooth and flavorful. Always like to grab both when in town. A favorite stop!
The 205 Coffee Bar is just the place to be if you are looking for delicious drinks, a cozy atmosphere, and great service! The owner has a heart of gold and has impacted more lives than she will ever know through her caring and compassionate outreach to the Holland community. All of the baristas serve with joy and spending even a few minutes in there picking up your drink adds extra happiness to your day.
205 is an exquisite coffee, expresso, food, cocktail and place to spend time in Holland, Michigan. The quality of all of the above combined with the atmosphere and service are as good as it gets in Western Michigan. If youre looking for a high end latte, nitro brew, or place to have a chat with a friend or colleague, 205 has an elegant indoor and outdoor space, a great team, and easier parking than downtown! Cheers!!!
Great drinks n food, most friendly staff
We just moved to the area, great coffee!! Love this place ! 🖤
Always a great experience at the 205. We love the staff and chatting with the owner is always fun. Service and products are always top notch. A friendly and inviting atmosphere.You are sure to meet/make friends here.
I LOVE The 205 Coffee Bar! I come here all the time and the excellent coffee is always matched with incredibly fast and friendly service. They create a wonderful atmosphere and have a little something for everyone!
Staff was friendly and coffee was strong and HOT! Place smelled absolutely phenomenal and I loved the Creme Brulatte!
I LOVE this place! The coffee is wonderful, the atmosphere is hip, and the owner and baristas are all incredibly hard workers! The 205 wouldnt be the success it is without the dedication, endurance, and commitment it has to supporting and loving our Holland community well. I personally have the gift of knowing the owner and I absolutely LOVE her heart! One of the most hardworking individuals Ive ever met and has been personally so blessed by her presence in my life. The 205 is so much more than a Coffee Bar, its like a family. Thank you 205 Coffee bar for what you do, what you stand for, and who you are!
Great espresso with some interesting and creative drinks. The Old Soul is my favorite, its essentially an Earl gray tea latte but sweetened with lavender infused honey. Its the perfect balance of sweet and floral...especially yummy over ice on a hot July day. The Creme Brulatte was also a great not-too-sweet but sweet treat. Not only are the drinks great, but the people who run it are too. I screwed up my order (ordered hot instead of iced) and when I went to get an iced one, they wouldnt let me pay for it...even though it was my mistake! Definitely would recommend if youre looking for good coffee in downtown Holland.
Good coffee and waffles, nice atmosphere
Stopped this morning for the first time. Cute shop and great service! Wasn’t sure what I wanted but the baristas were super helpful. Coffee was great. We will be back. Also loved the decor and the mural!!
Had a nice visit here with my young daughter. They joked and laughed with here and made her comfortable, not to mention the sprinkles on her steamer. Stop in if youre thirsty!
Cute shop great coffee choices. Delicious avocado toast! Hard o find parking sometimes
European taste of coffee!
Awesome owner, great staff, and delicious coffee. Got my coffee within a few minutes, it’s unbelievable some Karen’s complain about having to wait a few minutes and yell at staff for being late to work. Maybe you should manage your time more wisely like a capable adult.
This place is awesome! Fantastic customer service and even better drinks. I will definitely be back.
It was pretty empty and the coffee was amazing. Nice people there also.
A hidden gem off of 8th! Great coffee with unique latte options. Avocado toast was amazing & a large portion for the price!
It was good. Appreciated the compostable cup. I can see its probably a hopping place when the college is active.
UPDATE: I am a little surprised by the owner’s reply as I am not a photographer. I’m not sure where this assumption is coming from? However, I do find this assumption based off a first name review unprofessional. Thank you for the sincere apology, though.I don’t usually leave negative reviews, especially as a local, but I feel I must. While the drinks are good, and most of the staff friendly, the owner is not. She comes off as very rude, and it really does make for a negative customer experience. I’ve seen a few other comments saying the same thing, so maybe it’s time to work on this?
This place has the best coffee anywhere! I didnt like coffee until I had 205 coffee! Amazing location, atmosphere, and staff! Everyone is super friendly and helpful! Also, ordering online saves all sorts of time if youre in a hurry! Check it out! :)
Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is wonderful and the coffee is always interesting and tasty. Wonderful, helpful employees!
