Our new normal during quarantine means I need to make my own coffee daily. Our business has been mandated to shutdown and I have been furloughed from my job. I join the millions that are without a stream of income so not being able to support as many local businesses during this time as I would like.

In addition, I’m already sick of making my own coffee. I miss co-working at shops with my friends, and even miss over paying for multiple coffees a day. I miss the routine of going to the coffee shop. The flow of it all.

So I wanted to take this time to highlight some of my favorite coffee shops that I can’t wait to frequent once we can resume to our lives.

Grand Rapids Faves:

• Madcap Coffee

• Outside Coffee Co.

• Wildroast Coffee

• Rise + Squibb

• Field and Fire Cafe

Detroit Fave:

• Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company

LA Faves:

• Paramount Coffee Project

• Alfred

• Dose Coffee

Vietnam Fave:

• Shoutout to the local cart vendors!

Another cafe I didn’t have photos of is @fieldandfire in Grand Rapids and boy do I miss their food! Their cafe is closed but their bakery in the downtown market is still open!
