Another great find! Coffee shop nestled in the Talsma furniture store. Offer a variety of baked goods, smoothies, and the usual coffee brews. I ordered an americano which was excellent, good and strong. Highly recommend them.

Not easy to find when it's in a furniture store. The service was good and the coffee was great

First time at Gabbys cafe. I just looked up a cafe nearest me and this is the one that popped up. I like the quirkiness of a cafe in a furniture store. Has a Fun and bright atmosphere. Very generous on coffee and food prices. Fast and friendly service.

My go-to coffee shop. Delicious coffee. I like to go here to get work done, because it's never very busy (hidden gem for sure!). I also love the ample parking - lots of other coffee shops you have to figure out parking, that stresses me out. The barista is always nice; once I had a drink months ago that was on their specials list and she helped me figure out what it was and made it for me! My only complaint is the hours on Saturday are not open until later (9:30a), but I know that's pretty common with coffee shops.

Friendly coffee shop, good coffee, it's in a furniture store but it's still a fully functional coffee shop.

Totally wasn’t expecting this to be in a furniture store when I arrived, but indeed it was! I met here for a work meeting as a halfway point between Grand Rapids and Ada. Quiet enough for a meeting but comfortable enough to not feel like I had to whisper. I got a matcha, which was pretty good! Nice little spot if you’re in the area. Not a lot of seating right by the café, but that wasn’t an issue when I went.

Gabby’s is in a furniture shop which threw me for a loop at first - but actually really cute inside and not awkward at all! there is café seating and the service is as really nice. i got an almond joy latte and it was so good. they had some baked goods as well, although i did not try any. I would definitely recommend for a quick stop if you are in the area

I was a little nervous to go in, because its in a furniture store, but I'm glad I stopped! Got the almond joy coffee drink, so good. There is seating, and there is even a sign that says to sit and not worry about spills and such. I would recommend stopping here for sure.
