    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.

    It 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.

    Specialize 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.

    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?

    Steal clear on Sundays if you want to avoid throngs of christian college kids and their excessive crazy.
