Very cute outdoor coffee shop. I had the caramel apple pie latter and it was delicious. My husband got the pumpkin spice latte which he quite enjoyed.
The atmosphere here is perfect for chilling out, playing cards, reading a book.
Loved the Halloween decor
Prices were fair, cheaper than BIGGBY or Starbucks!
Staff was friendly.
I LOVE OUTSIDE COFFEE CO! I come here a lot during the summer, and I try to bring new friends because it is such a gem in Grand Rapids. It is such a great place to study and in the winter/colder months they have little igloos to sit in with heaters in them so that you can still enjoy the outdoors with whatever beverage you order. My favorite is either the lavender latte, or whatever their seasonal specials are, they're very creative!

I recently visited Outside Coffee Company in Grand Rapids, MI, and I can't express enough how much I enjoyed my experience there. The selection of beverages was impressive, but it was their lattes that truly stood out. Each sip was a delightful blend of flavors, leaving me craving for more. Whether you're a coffee aficionado or someone seeking a unique and delicious drink, Outside Coffee Company has you covered.
The real star of Outside Coffee Company, however, is its enchanting atmosphere. Nestled in an outdoor garden/courtyard, the ambiance is simply magical. From cozy seating to fire pits and hammocks, every element has been thoughtfully arranged to create a warm and inviting space. The moment I settled into one of their seats, I felt completely at ease and surrounded by natural beauty. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay for hours, enjoying the peacefulness and serenity of the surroundings.
Another aspect that I truly appreciated about Outside Coffee Company is their dog-friendly policy. As a pet owner, being able to bring my furry friend along was a huge plus. Seeing other dogs happily exploring the garden while their owners sipped on their coffees added an extra layer of joy to the experience. The combination of great beverages, a stunning outdoor setting, and a dog-friendly environment makes Outside Coffee Company a must-visit spot for anyone seeking relaxation and a welcoming atmosphere.
Love having this place within walking distance of our home. Kind and efficient staff, dog friendly as can be, delicious drinks. Support local!
This is my favorite coffee place in Grand Rapids for hanging out. The year-round outdoor seating is so refreshing. It’s fun to sit for a while and read, answer emails, or enjoy watching birds and dogs. (That’s the introvert in me talking - it’s also a great place to meet a friend or colleague.) The coffee is quite good, although I find the flavored drinks too sweet or synthetic-tasting, so I stick to plain espresso-based drinks. There are a handful of places in GR with better coffee but there’s no competition with the atmosphere.
Really nice place to be with your family or friends to have a nice time with coffee
Great place to get a coffee! Been here in the winter , summer, rainy fall, always good. Shelters are usually occupied, not sure if they are reserved, last winter they were. It was raining heavy one day and the occupants had mercy on me and said that I could join them. Fantastic. Today it’s very cold, fire pit is warming !
This is one of the most adorable coffee shops I’ve been to. I wish I had more time to enjoy a hammock or a seat by a fire pit. If I lived in the area, I would come here often.
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!
Super cute little hangout area! I appreciate they had hammocks, as why doesn't every coffee shop have hammocks? If I didn't have my pups with me, this would be a place I could read for hours in. However, let us not forget to mention how wonderfully dog friendly it is. They have a drink especially for doggos, and even a baggie station in case there is an accident. We were just passing through on a road trip and have more appreciation for dog-friendly establishments. Thanks for being so awesome!
Outside coffee company is the kind of place You hope to find when you visit a city . One of my favorite features of Grand Rapids because it has character and charm . This place is fun, relaxed, the coffee and dog treats are good . I’m so happy that it’s open year-round because so much of this state gets sleepy in the winter.
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.
One of my favorite coffee shops in GR. #1 Lyon St #2 Outside Coffee Co #3 Roots Brew Shop. They host many fun and unique events, its a great meeting place before walking around wealthy st, and it is part of Whoosah which is one of the best shops in GR.
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
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!
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.
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 don't 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 didn't freeze, but not too hot so we didn't burn. Inside the igloo, our group enjoyed the seating. All 8 of us could sit comfortably and enjoy our beverage!
I go every morning. I do not like that they blatantly ask customers if they'd "like to leave a tip"..... but everything else is perfect. They should really stop making their employees ask customers about tipping though 😅 but I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! (yeah I tip every time but jeez stop asking me)
Really cute outdoor and dog friendly coffee spot. At times, there's limited seating for how busy they are and if it's a sunny day there isn't always a lot of shade. But it's super nice to be able to take a walk with my dog and grab a coffee without worrying about not being able to bring him inside a business.
