Such an incredible place! The people are so kind, friendly, and helpful! The prices are perfect for the quality of drink you get. Overall, the atmosphere here is very chill and light-hearted. It's my favorite place to come and write.

Give this place a try! I always get the chai latte, and it is always delicious. The seasonal drinks are fun too. The staff is always very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. They have a nice big space, making it easy to find somewhere to sit. Just wish they were open in the evenings before the prayer meetings.

I was greeted with a friendly smile by a barista before I even opened the door. I was surprised at how large the shop is! It's got a loveley atomosphere-very much a retro 70's vibe and a very OPEN layout. There's cute tables stationed throughout and the cutest decor and nice music. Probably my favorite coffee shop I've geen to! If you haven't gone, check it out and spend some time there :)

Came here for my morning coffee. It was delicious! The baristas were humble, kind and relaxed! The atmosphere was welcoming and creative! I enjoyed my morning cup so much, I came back to get an afternoon cup and snagged a giant delicious chocolate chip cookie. 12/10 recommend! Wishing there was a Matchhead where I live!

Best coffee in Kalamazoo. They now use Madcap coffee. They always make a great cortado. You wouldn’t even know they were owned by a church unless you asked why the glass back of the space opens to the inside of Radiant Church. I’ve never felt like I was being proselytized. I’ve never witnessed any bigotry to anyone. The staff is always friendly. I think some of the reviewers are being prejudiced about this place when they discover they’re owned by a church.

BEST COFFEE PLACE ON THIS SIDE OF MICHIGAN. I am a decadent coffee fanatic and as someone who lived in NYC, the creations here are better than some Manhattan cafes I've been to! If you are a cold foam girl this is a must!!!! The biggest specialty to me is their custom cold foam, they can make any cold foam flavor based of their syrups, which I believe they make in house I added an earl grey cold foam to my hibiscus latte and it was magical! The coffee is STRONG and not at all watery, it is super creamy and paired with the syrups it's perfectly decadent but not too sweet. They also serve cold brew and nitro cold brew, and according to my boyfriend the matcha is decent too (paired with oatmilk is super creamy too.) They have a generous list of syrups (brown sugar, cinnamon, etc...) Not to mentioned the customer service is extremely friendly Haven't tried their food, but if you love a sweet coffee stop by!
