A-Z Eats Along The Lakeshore
C is for capone's
Capone’s is a speakeasy in Downtown Muskegon, and the food will seriously blow you away! The pizza and the pasta are fantastic, and the space makes for a great date night or spot to celebrate a special occasion.
deBoer’s Bakkerijj is a Holland staple and is more than just a bakery, it’s an experience! With a menu full of amazing food, deBoer’s is a great place for brunch, lunch, or a sweet treat!
East End Coffee Stop is definitley a hidden gem on the East end of Grand Haven (as you can probably guess from the name) and is super cute! Not only do they have coffee drinks, tea, and smoothies, but they also have lunch options for an affordable price.
Franks is located in Zeeland, Michigan, which is just East of Holland, and we can confirm that they have amazing milkshakes! Whether it’s in the middle of the summer and you need something to cool you down, or it’s the winter, and you’re simply craving a good milkshake. Franks gives an old-time diner feel that is unbeatable!
This cute little bakery and cafe is a Grand Haven area staple! The location we highlighted is located in Spring Lake and is a spacious cafe and bistro that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Lots of love to this small, local candy shop (with the best malted milk balls!!). The Holland Peanut Store is a must visit anytime you find yourselves Downtown Holland.
Itty Bitty Bar is a place where you’ll immediately feel welcomed in as if you were a regular. With a great menu full of fantastic food and events going on every week, it’s a place to add to your bucket list if you haven’t been and a place to go back to if you have been!
A cozy coffee shop and cafe Downtown Grand Haven! Stop by Jumpin Java for a latte and a sandwich and support this small, family owned shop built on community!
KIN might be the most aesthetic coffee shop EVER! It is located on Ottawa Beach Rd and brings a slow-paced feel to your busy life. Their coffee, smoothies, and toast are great pick-me-ups on any day!
