Mary M MottaFebruary 27, 2015It looks small from the outside, but the basement provides plenty of space; nice for working. I've only ever had one order that didn't turn out great and the friendly staff offered me something else.Upvoted 5 days ago
Great coffee drinks of all kinds, super friendly staff, very clean all around, environmentally conscious, and a great, mellow spot to get some work done, have a meeting, or just chill.
Shayne ColeJune 11, 2024Specialize in fruity bean profiles. Excellent! One of the best cups I’ve had. Tried the Colombian black, no cream needed for this one. Would come back every day if I lived here.
DannSeptember 1, 2016This place offers a variety of very good quality coffee and comfortable space to chill.
The property Lantern Coffee Bar and Lounge sits on originally was part of George Brant /Union Brewery and what we know as The Harris Building.
Great place to get some work done. The pour over coffees are always great. I recommend a blueberry scone if you get hungry.
- Did you know the building Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge is in was built in 1908 as a bakery supplying Grand Rapids with 2,000 loaves of bread an hour?
Great atmosphere for a local coffee shop and only $0.50 refills!
Sarah FoleyMay 29, 2015The downstairs is so cozy! Perfect for serious studying, or not-so-serious lounging with friends.
Stephanie PeeblesNovember 17, 2015Good food decent coffee! The atmosphere and lighting is what's best in my opinion. Nice seating options

Erin BuehlerMarch 14, 2016Love the atmosphere and the service is so friendly. Got to try the chai lattes. ☕️💕
Alyssa MayoMarch 6, 2021Gingerbread latte was really yummy! Wish coconut milk was an option. Very friendly staff.
Scott LottermanOctober 23, 2013Such a better choice than Starbucks or bigby. Great local spot, and the drinks are great.- Be sure to get the frequency punch card and earn free drinks.
- Brittany ZemaitisSeptember 10, 2014It's a 24 hour coffee bar. They also have smoothies and other yummy treats.
The lounge space is wonderful for meeting a friend, client, or even an afternoon study session!
Such a great atmosphere! Great first experience. Iced Americano is on point!
ForrestFebruary 25, 2015It's usually pretty busy here. If your coming with a large group, call ahead and reserve a table.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Excellent coffee and tea. A++
Barista's are super friendly, great atmosphere, even better coffee!
Steal clear on Sundays if you want to avoid throngs of christian college kids and their excessive crazy.
Andy PerschbacherJune 4, 2013A brilliant up and coming coffee shop! Excited to see this place grow! :)
The iced chai latte is possibly the greatest thing I've even tasted.
