Came in around 7pm and studied on a comfy couch until midnight. I got the açaí bowl, and ended up ordering another one a few hours later! It was delicious, the picture does not do it justice. Service was great, friendly and fast!

Great place in Grand Rapids to enjoy not only a large menu, but also enjoy a great atmosphere for study, business, and social interaction. Midnight Express has a wonderful Turkish based coffee selection and amazing baked goods. Located near the GVSU Pew campus, Midnight is a great place for students to reserve for there late nite cravings and studies. The staff is always very polite and courteous. I suggest trying their muffins and a cup of their house coffee to start. Enjoy.

At first you'd think its annoying but it's a sound decision for the environment and smart managing. The barista was by himself with no one else helping him when I visited.

Love the variety of seating and how late they're open! I got a peppermint mocha latte one time and a london fog tea latte another. Both were lovely! Best to get there before 5pm to beat rush hour traffic and rush hour students coming to do homework.

Amazing food and coffee! It's also a great place to study or work remotely! Their oat milk latte was one of the best I've had. I really enjoyed the turkey and avocado bagel sandwich and the chicken pesto wrap. The food was so fresh and tasty.

I ordered the Apple Pie Smoothie, took him awhile to make it as first time, not bad. Probably wouldn’t order it again. Lots of other things to pick from, salads look great, so do the breakfast bowls. Great service, my first time here as this establishment. I will come again next time I’m on the West Side.

What a find! The flatbread wraps were so full of fresh flavor. So delicious. Very pleasant atmosphere. It's not a quick place to eat. But it is definitely an enjoyable atmosphere, and worth taking a few moments to enjoy life.

Pretty great little place, very nice variety on the menu with sandwiches, bagels and treats. I already had my coffee earlier in the morning but the coffee smelled amazing! Super friendly service and my food came quickly, beautiful plates and you grab all the things you need and find a comfy table or couch. Quite happy and now full.
