Last Mile Cafe

Last Mile Cafe in Grand Rapids is woman- and Black-owned, run by Arick and Sarah. They publish a yearly impact report. When you buy beans, you pick which of four causes gets a donation. Bean containers are refillable. It's small, with art, reading material and a back room for quieter talks.

They roast light. Dropout and God's Gumbo are the house roasts, and there's an Ethiopian. The Last Miel is the signature. Try the Café Miel or s'mores latte. The mocha uses fresh-ground cocoa.
