Beautiful space. Enjoyed a great cup of brewed coffee and perfectly sweet biscotti while running errands downtown. Staff were kind and helpful. Will definitely return! Thanks!

My girlfriend and I regularly try the “local” or “niche” coffee shops wherever we find ourselves. This one was different. It stood out to us almost immediately, and the ratings of others don’t lie. The atmosphere was very modern, and the staff was very inviting. I particularly enjoyed the “assembly line” style of crafting their drinks, and the espresso definitely doesn’t hold back.

Cute coffee shop for a quick grab and go order or to sit down and sip. Very crowded on Saturday (even in the afternoon) but they moved quickly through orders. Not a ton of coffee for the price, but the lavender latte was delicious.

Great coffee shop friendly people great coffee and pastries / treats. Nice atmosphere and awesome barista.

I ordered the dirty chai latte it was very good!😊

Love this place. Am adorable environment that makes you want to snuggle up and enjoy your amazing drink.

Perfect afternoon for a cold brew!

The vibes were good and the coffee was better :)

Great service and best latte I’ve had

Their coffee is delicious and the apple cinnamon muffin is my favorite pastry of theirs!! the past few times i’ve been in it’s been very crowded and loud, which makes it a bit difficult to sit down and relax. i usually get my coffee to go and sit elsewhere. also, the staff seem a little standoffish but they are still nice. despite the fact that they have been pretty busy the past few times i went there, they still have quick service.

Wonderful shop with excellent coffee. Great conversation with the locals made us feel at home.

Aldea really has the best coffee. Try the lavender latte. Hot Or iced. Also super good with oat milk.

Delicious oat milk mocha! Definitely coming back here next time were in Michigan.

The tea is absolutely amazing! The vibe of the store is very nice and you can even buy tea too

Wonderful and convienient coffee shop. Great on the go and for a nice pick me up. I enjoy going here when I am visiting the area. They are smaller and inside the same building with other shops. You will pass through them to get to the BBQ place and Brewery.

Great matcha tea and gluten-free muffins!

Exceptional coffee. Admirable business model. Making the world a better place one cup at a time. If you haven’t had an Aldea coffee, your missing out. Thanks for being a part of our community.

Aldea will forever be one of my favorite coffee shops. The coffee is great, the staff is amazing, and the new shop is a perfect spot to get work done, study, or catch up with friends.

Delicious cappuccino fun atmosphere and friendly staff.

Hipster, good, shared space with a BBQ and brewery. I recommend a lavender cascara cortada or cappuccino.

Great coffee and an amazing atmosphere. The coffee is an amazing change from the overly sweet lattes you get from Starbucks or Biggby. It is not too expensive and worth the price. The latte art is a plus. Will go again if Im in town.

Super friendly. Good prices. Good latte.

New location on Washington, the towns main street! Superb coffee. First rate staff. Fine location and atmosphere. If visiting Grand Haven, try this coffee shop.

Aldea Coffee is carefully sourced and built around improving the lives of the community where the coffee is grown. They bring the same care to every cup of coffee they serve both in Grand Haven and in Muskegon. There is a real purpose to every cup of coffee and it shows in how seriously they take their coffee from farm to table.

Aldea has the best coffee in Muskegon/Grand Haven. The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly as well. Aldea also highly values the community and the environment.

Love their sustainability efforts and coffee. I come from out of town and I will be here again!

If you like boutique roasted coffee this is your place. I lived in Seattle for 5 years and Aldea hangs. If youre looking for a Charbucks clone and a caffeinated dessert in a to-go tumbler, this is not the place. Its you weigh your coffee in grams and brew at a precise temperature with a stop watch, this is the place.

Great coffee and espresso! Loved it!

Seriously, why do you even need to leave this place? They roll coffee, into lunch, into happy hour! Brilliant! Awesome staff. Delicious Food. Tasty drinks. A great place to work for 1 to 8 hours...Im sure at some point they kick you out, right? High five, Aldea!

The coffee is delicious, and I especially like it because they show you the people behind the beans (the growers). They also have some unique syrup flavors if you aren’t a black coffee drinker. For a truly unique cup, ask for the rose cardamom and cinnamon latte-it’s delicious!!! Also, this is a great place to chat/work or grab to go- it’s housed in the same place as a brewery and a bbq place, but there a lot of seating and the areas smoothly bleed into one another.

Mmmm Love them!

Excellent Coffee and friendly Baristas!

When Traveling we try to find the best coffee shops to visit. This place is very nice, got a cappuccino and the wife got a chai latte, definitely recommend those two things. The environment is very nice and vibes are great.

Good pour over coffee here. Syrupy, nutty, dense dark roast with that staple slight amber ring around the edge of the liquor. Definitely not brown water.

Awful service. Stood at the counter waiting for service for 5 minutes while the staff stood a few feet away and said nothing to me nor acknowledged that I was there. At one point a staff member even made eye contact with me and walked towards me only to walk away after. I ended up just leaving.

Great beans! And lovely lavender shortbread biscuits.

Fabulous new location!

Aeropress Coffee Brewer!Cant make it into Aldea everyday? Pickup an Aeropress Coffee Brewer and a bag of your favorite ground coffee. We were french press coffee makers till we found the Aeropress. Clean, crisp SO smooth!AND we still visit our favorite coffee shop for delicious almond milk lattes as needed :)Pour over coffee wasnt available in Grand Haven until Aldea brought it to town. The coffee, mission, employees and atmosphere are unrivaled.You will not be disappointed.

Recommended by a friend and worth the drive to Grand Haven for a delicious latte.

Great place to sit down with amazing coffee

I really liked my cold brew. The staff was informative for the most part when it came.to coffee. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing, and we can imagine it gets more lively as the day goes on. I would like to come back the next time Im in the area.

Actual café with friendly service, chill environment/vibe. A must for coffee enthusiasts.Building is a shared space with a brewery and a restaurant which we didnt have time to try.

Stopped here for a quick morning coffee. They did not have their full menu or preparation options due to COVID, but had a cup of black coffee which was quite good. The shop is located inside the Grand Armory building, which gives a unique and hipster-y atmosphere.

Really good coffee! Deff a must visit spot if youre in the area.

The food was good and the coffee, but the staff didn’t always wear a mask and said wearing one was stupid in a conversation.

Quiet and cozy. Good wifi. Good coffee. Better than side bar

Lovely full bodied beans make for an exceptional morning cup. Well done.

Highly recommend!! Aldea is my favorite spot to grab a cup of coffee, and work from. The staff is super friendly, and very knowledgeable. Plus I love the company’s roots to supporting the community!

I brought my British mother-in-law to Aldea for a cup of tea. Best tea in America was her appraisal! Plus homemade Biscotti to die for! And it doesn’t hurt to have a friendly and helpful young woman behind the counter. Highly recommend!!!

By far the best coffee in Grand Haven. Theses guys are coffee purists and they know how to put out an amazing cup of coffee. The flavor is amazing. Will spoil you for anywhere else. If youre from out of town and want REAL coffee dont waste your time anywhere else. Bonus its got a cool vibe too.

Great meet up spot!

Awesome Great tasting Coffee! Marvelous Baristas: Andrew, Josh, Jeremy, Ellie, Daniel & a few others!! Desserts are made from scratch & yummy with some Vegan ones! The atmosphere is so nice in the mornings!! Very nice way to start my day!!!

My favorite place to be in Grand Haven, MI. I dare say its better than the beach- gasp!From their partnership with Aldea Development in sourcing from farmers exclusively in Honduras to roasting in Michigan and to their cafe at the Armory in Grand Haven the experience is top notch.When I first visited they had not yet been open for a year but their enthusiasm for brewing, serving, roasting and ethically sourcing their product was not hard to identify.Go in for a good conversation and amazing coffee.

They have some of the best espresso I have had outside of Lavazza. It was nice and chocolaty but not to bitter. Unfortunately, they were out of bags to purchase in store but I was offered a business card to order online!

This place is amazing! They strive for excellence and it really shows through everything they do. The product outstanding, the staff is the best; they are friendly, knowledgeable, and are so stoked to have the privilege to be apart of your day .I love the atmosphere they have created it; it is one full of culture, community, and passion. It is truly the highlight of my day!If you have not checked them out...check them out, you will love it!

The coffee is very, very good as they grind for each cup but they only do pour overs so its $3-4 just for a single cup. Not suggesting that its not worth it but I would like to at least have a large french press option. They share the space with the brewery and its a very large space. At the time I was there, there were a number of children there and it sounded like a MacDonalds Play Place, I had to leave. Nice place, with some more options, some sound damping/white noise/back ground music I would give more stars. But the coffee was VERY good.

Sourced from not-for-profit Honduran farm and locally roasted. Espresso was bright, lightly fruity. Their honey, cinnamon cafe miel latte was perfect, not overly sweet. Was our go-to coffee while on our week vacation to Grand Haven. May have to wait a bit if theyre busy as everything is measured/massed on a scale. But worth it.

I love that they source their amazing coffees from Honduran farmers, not some big corporate machine. Gilberto is my favorite coffee, and I love it in a cappuccino with house made vanilla syrup in it. The old Armory building is the perfect setting for their coffee house too!

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Great people and great conversation. The quality is second to none. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. A great place to go to if you want to get work done or just relax. I always come here for something to do and hang out whenever I get the chance to.

First time visiting and will for sure be back. Employees were really nice and helpful. Wonderful relaxing space. Coffee was very good.

Things to love about this place: the customer service, the songs being played, the COFFEE, the vibe, the light bulbs, the fellow cafe-sitters, the fact that these people know their growers and their roasters. Also, THE COFFEE. Definitely pay this place a visit. If I didnt live far away, I would probably lose a lot of time and money here...and not regret it a bit. :)

Aldea is an excellent coffee shop and has been my go-to place since summer 2017. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and go out of their way to take care of their patrons. Situated inside the Grand Armory, Aldea also has a great atmosphere - good background music, social for those who want it, and enough space to work quietly for those who want that. Good coffee, good tea, good people - you cant go wrong here.

Good vibes. Great Coffee.

I have spent an embarrassingly lot of my life in coffee shops throughout the world dating back to internet cafes in the early 90s. So understand that I know a great coffee. Aldea is right at the top of the list. Wonderful coffee drinks made from their custom roasted coffee imported from growers they support in Honduras, really interesting staff, and the ambiance in the Armory is so damn comfortable that I wrote an entire adventure tale at one of the corner tables. Cant say enough...

I really enjoy the coffee and the people that work there. Also now they have hot coffee ready to go if youre in a rush, which just makes life a lot easier. All the coffee is amazing, but I would have to say Alfredo is the best.

My favorite place to get coffee. Friendly staff, great location and most importantly, the best coffee Ive ever had.I really like how the different roasts are named after the farmer who grew the coffee. I also really appreciate how the farmers are paid above fair trade.

The first time I went, I had a cortado. The espresso was good, but the milk was scalded (its served in a glass, which was too hot to hold). Once it cooled it was pretty good though. I returned a second time planning to try their brewed coffee, but since it was a hot day, I got the cold brew instead. It was fantastic and more than enough to make up for the shortcomings of their barista.

Aldea coffee is hands down the best coffee in Grand Haven. The employees are always friendly and the coffee leaves you wanting more. Knowing their coffee is sourced ethically and creates jobs for farmers in need adds pride to each beverage i purchase.

My fav coffee spot

As a lifelong traveler I have satisfied my coffee addiction all over the world. Living in Italy pushed me over the line to coffee elitist. Aldea Coffee at the Armory in Grand Haven MI hits 5 stars in all categories. Excellent coffee from growers with whom they actually have a personal relationship.The ambiance is so comfortable that my daily double espresso and a dose of Aldea has inspired me to move up the finishing date of my upcoming novel.Great coffee, dedicated baristas, a truly international cafe in downtown Grand Haven.

Hands down the best coffee in Grand Haven! The true coffee experience. Customer service is great! They not only want you to enjoy their coffee but they want to teach you about their coffee and where it comes from. The space is very peaceful and great for getting work done at.

When I die after a blazing gun battle with authorities at the age of 135, I want to go to heaven. I hope that heaven is exactly like Aldea Coffee. My people are there, and they like me and rarely annoy me. And the latte is excellent. The End.PS. My favorite drink is the Cascara Latte. Ask the folks behind the counter about it, its delicious. Or go with the Cafe Miel if youre a honey lover. Or your name is Honey. Or if you love bees. And so on.The lemonade is brilliant: try the ginger for a refreshing change.

Best cafe in Michigan! Truly unbelievable cappuccino, hot chocolate, and cup of coffee! Very nice service, and great place to sit and work!

One of my favorite coffee shops anywhere. Employees are all super friendly and knowledgeable and the coffee is excellent. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better espresso. Try it!!

Amazing craft tea and coffee selections in a really cool building.

Some of the best cold brew I’ve ever had. They should offer larger sizes at reasonable prices and celebrate customers that bring their own cups.

They use a nice dark chocolate for their mochas thats not too sweet. Best lattes in the area.

Drinks were expensive and cold brew was very bitter. Cool atmosphere and friendly service

Delicious coffee and really friendly staff

Go a few times a week! Awesome coffee, fun location and exceptional staff.

Always is great coffee and great service! They try to learn my name, which is crazy amazing. I recommend it to literally everyone!

Aldea Coffee is the best coffee in Ottawa County...If you have never had a cup of pour over coffee or well-made espresso, it may seem unusual or a foreign experience but I can assure you that you will find it worth it & fall for the amazing, delicious way coffee can taste. Not to mention how great the service is, the best pastries & how cool the armory space is... youve got to try this place & it will become your favorite coffee shop!

Well made pour over and just a gorgeous, bright loft space. They buy coffee direct from farmers and pay substantially above fair wage (which is an oxymoron) for the beans. Ethical treatment of farmers, well made coffee, great space. A gem.

Our first choice in coffee! We buy it to brew at home too! A lovely place to meet and drink coffee! The staff is friendly and invested in their community as well as partnering directly with the Honduran farmers who grow their coffee! Try the cascara latte!

Haven’t had the coffee but looking into road trip to try. But the best lavender lemonade ever!!

The best Coffee experience ever. Great atmosphere with amazing associates. The coffee is above all others. Stop in and youll see. I guarantee you wont be disappointed.

We had an awesome experience at aldea. This local business truly has the community at heart.

Got the chai latte. Fabulous. Friends got the coffee, all did taste of each others drinks. Very good!!!

This is some of the best coffee Ive had anywhere! They are very friendly as well, and very excited about what they do. Im always learning about where their coffee comes from, the farmers that grow it, and how they process it here in Grand Haven.

A modern trendy coffee shop that sells the newest organic coffee. The coffee isnt bad, and the vibe is somewhere between pretentious and basic white girl.

I come here most mornings. Damned good coffee, friendly staff, and relaxing atmosphere.Id recommend the Karolina coffee.

Wonderful experience here. Great treats and coffee, friendly staff, great music, power at many of the seats is available for work or study.

Best coffee Ive seriously ever had! Get the vanilla lavender syrup 😍😍

Aldea is wonderful. The coffee is almost as good as the story and mission! 💜

Where have you been all my life?! I have only ever had one other cup of coffee that rivaled this one. They also make their own syrups! No junky stuff!

Great people and great coffee!

I worked near Grand Haven for two summers, and then left two years ago. This past weekend I went up to visit the area and had to stop at Aldeas. I would go in a couple times a week over the summer, enough to be noticed but not enough to have many conversations with the wonderful baristas. Upon returning this past weekend, Jeremy saw me and immediately remembered my name! Nearly two years of not going there and he remembers my name! They care about their customers and it shows. On top of that, as someone who loves trying new coffee shops and has somewhat high standards for quality of espresso, Aldeas is top notch, one of the best cafes Ive been to and one Ive consistently recommended to anyone travelling through the area. Make sure to check out the loft upstairs, some of the artwork has absolutely floored me in the past. Best café in a hundred miles, hands down.

Went to try the new oat milk offerings. Were not disappointed even better than their regular coffee.
