Another downtown staple in Grand Rapids is Lantern Coffee, an unassuming, small café on a street corner. The serving area of Lantern is a small, cozy space with a small bar. Their coffee is on par with Madcap but the basement lounge is where Lantern shines. Behind the bar is a staircase that descends into a lounge that feels like a room in a library. Students, writers, and artists congregate here to work in peaceful, caffeinated bliss. It’s a great coffee bar to escape the noise and traffic of downtown. #cafe #coffee #lounge #digitalnomad
