Brewed Awakenings

Our mission is to be a coffeehouse that nurtures body, mind, and spirit. A cafe where you can eat every day and be healthy. A gathering place that encourages a culture of open minded communication. With the belief that the way we do business will strengthen our community and even farther reaching ecosystems, we provide you with organic locally grown food and we serve the finest organic Fair Trade coffee, teas, and chocolates. We offer free wireless Internet access, a computer for customer use, a Saturday night stage, and a large community bulletin board. Brewed Awakenings Coffeehouse opened in a cooperative grocery store in downtown Grand Rapids in 1996. When the Cooperative’s Board of Director’s voted to dissolve, we found shelter in the MacRostie Art Center. For eight years the Coffeehouse grew under the roof of the MacRostie Art Center, until the space could no longer contain us. In July of 2006 Brewed Awakenings moved 2 blocks east to our own building. It was a leap of faith,”Build it and they will come.” We loved designing and building the space. May you enjoy your time spent here.
