Lyon Street Cafe

617 Lyon St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503, USA
(616) 635-2194

Our favorite place for coffee, and where Lindsey's matcha obsession started. It's cozy and cute. And of course you have Nantucket Bakery and Martha's Vineyard right there, so yes, a lot of our money is spent at this corner...but not like that.

Butcher's Union

One of our go-to places for dinner (also a great brunch spot). The food, the drinks, the vibe. There is nothing about this place that we don't like. And if you ask our friend RJ, the meatloaf is in the top 5 of best you will ever have. Their sister restaurant right around the corner, GinGins, is also a fav!

They do take walk-ins but reservations are highly recommended for both BU and GinGins.


You are close to other great options too: Otoole's Public House and Bridge Street Bar (casual spots with good bar food, both get busy in the evening), New Holland Brewing (great outdoor space), Drip Drop (cocktail bar), and around the corner, Blue Dog Tavern (can't go wrong with hot dogs and tots- also a fun outdoor space) and Monarch's Club (a cozy bar with pool and darts).

Bosnian cuisine? Yes please, lol. But really, this is a mix of other Mediterranean/European tastes too! A casual dining option with great gyros, feta dip, and drink options!


You can find many other restaurants and drink spots over here too. Really, there's not a place we don't like on Wealthy St. but some of our favs: Donkey Taqueria (tacos and margs), Winchester (sandwiches, bowls, and fun apps!), Hancock (fried chicken sandwiches and yard games). The Grey Rabbit (rotating art exhibits with a large outdoor area), Mammoth Distillery.

Peppino's Downtown

A fun, casual sports bar with yummy pizzas and sandwiches - can't go wrong with any of them!


Other staples in the area: Luna (tacos & margs), HopCat (a craft beer bar), and One Twenty Three Tavern.

Bob's Sports Bar

Nothing closer to home than Bob's Bar - physically and mentally lol. Steps away from where Lindsey and Zach used to live, it's a fan favorite dive bar.

Anywhere on Michigan St is, really: Glass House, Birch Lodge, 7 Monks, Taco Borracho.


A great, quicker lunch spot is here too: The Toasted Pickle.
