The Exchange Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Muskegon

I was out on a Friday adventure and ended up downtown. I hadn't tried this little coffee bar that's next to Hometown creamery, but it's a quaint little place that the staff were so kind and friendly and offered up cold brew, which I would say is on the milder and smooth side rather than a darker brew-- perfect for a lazy late summer day and perfect for pairing with the sweetness of a cake pop because it's not overwhelmed with bitterness than sweetness.

I tried both the pumpkin spice and the strawberry lemonade. The strawberry lemonade was my favorite, but they were both pretty decent. The pumpkin spice was just a bit richer for the warm day than I was prepared to handle, but it's perfect for fall.

Coffee was yummy. Cortado & Carmel latte with oatmilk. Atmosphere was very friendly & laid back. Overall, ...

Walking around downtown muskegon is like walking around an open world video game. There are many wonderful shops and restaurants that serve as treasure troves of the community. The Exchange is no exception. Right when walking in, you are greeted with a warm ambience and the most sociable baristas you could meet. What’s more to love than a cozy fireplace, amazing local food, and the smell of a fresh cup of coffee. Their menu is simple and elegant and you are sure to find something that fits your taste. If you’re indecisive, like me, then the baristas will work their hardest to ensure you walk out with the perfect drink for you. If you ever have the opportunity to stop in, be warned that you won’t find a drink quite as good...
