Nonna Cafe

This is absolutely 5 stars. I recommend trying he following:
Meatballs
Side salad (seriously)
Avocado toast
Any salad and can add chicken
Energy bites

High marks for village-​y charm and friendliness. Scrambled eggs are French style (wet, or loose), so if you want them cooked longer, you have to request it. All the food is good, and don’t get me started on the bakery goods. Fabulous! Service is profoundly slow, both to be greeted and submit your order, as well as food prep. I have no idea why it takes 30 min to scramble an egg (especially French style) and toast some bread. So I would have given 5 stars, but took a point off for egregiously slow service.

Finally found my favorite breakfast spot in the Grand Rapids area! The food is delicious and the staff is really sweet! Great lazy morning!

This is as close to a great European café as you can get. The ambience, the décor, the avocado toast, the best carrot cake ever, the coffees, with great service. Don’t walk, run. AND they are opening up for dinner in a new place across the street.

Absolutely the best omelet I have ever had! This is the perfect place to eat fun foods like french toast, or stick to healthier choices. My only complaint is that they do not have any smaller options for kids. Last week, I had to pay $ 9 for my daughter’s meal. Just too much food for younger kids, and too high in price. Hoping when they move, this will change.

Wonderful place! Expresso taste like it’s straight out of Italy! You feel like your eating at mamas house only better! Portions are large everything is fresh!

Cute place in downtown Ada that will be expanding in December. Love the avocado toast which was creamy and refreshing. Yummy caramel and vanilla lattes. peach coffee cake was not to sweet and yummy too. Would go back and try more things

Outstanding! Great place in downtown Ada. Breakfast is amazing. Both french toast and omelette are good.

The ABSOLUTE BEST coffee in Grand Rapids! My favorites include the iced vanilla latte, avocado toast, super fresh fruit bowl, cranberry almond scone & café au lait. Now they even serve mimosas!
Quaint & cozy environment, sparkly clean, kind & contentious staff & ownership. An awesome addition to the Ada Village.

High quality delicious food in a quaint environment. The salads and omelets are divine and the baked french toast is amazing. Best coffee latte in town. One of my favorite places to go with family and friends.

Cozy, cute, and quaint little café in Ada Village. The place is super tiny and is starting to get crowded now… probably because I won’t shut up about the place! ;) Despite the size factor, their food is really good. The menu is limited but the selection is of high quality. Everything is very fresh, many times «right out of the oven.» Omelette and quiche were both wonderful. The biggest and most decadent star of the show is their baked French toast. It is sweet but oh sooooo good. Order to share… or not. :) Lattes and coffee were all great. Can get pricey if you order multiple things… and since everything is good here, it will be hard for you save money here.
One thing to note, many times well after they open, even around 9:30 am, they don’t have some of their menu items ready. Not a big deal since they were both on the way out of the oven, but still had to wait around 5 minutes extra since things were not done yet. But then you get the fresh factor. Not recommended if you are in a hurry trying to get food to go, but very nice if you have a lazy morning with a good book or a friend to catch up with. Overall you will be waiting a little bit longer when it gets busy. But thankfully they have plans to expand across the street, thus probably getting more help. Owner was super nice and gracious. I will definitely be a regular.

The staff here are awesome! The food is incredible and so are the lattes! My brother and I are there every week! The owner is typically there and helping in the kitchen. He’s sitting on a gold mine and I hope it’s there for years to come!!!

What a charming little café! Everything about this place is delightful. The interior space is warm and cozy. Handwritten menus suggest fresh, healthy breakfast and lunch options. Homemade muffins and scones displayed near the coffee bar offer a perfect pairing. A couple of my favorite items are the avocado toast… so simple and pretty! And the oatmeal with bananas and raisins.
Nonna’s feels like a small town café with a kind heart.

Been a few times. The lattes are really fantastic. There is a depth of flavor you can’t find other places. A real treat. The baked goods seem uniformly good also. I would give the coffee and scones/​muffins a 5. The rest of the menu-​salads, pasta ect is sufficient but nothing special.
There is limited seating and often a crowd – but isn’t that a good sign in a restaurant? Yes they close at 4 and the kitchen closes before that, but there’s plenty of places that are open ²⁴⁄₇ – you go here for the quality, not convenience. The lattes are worth it.

I Moved to the area not too long ago and drive past quite a bit-​not only does the Nonna Café give a very mom’s kitchen feel in the restaurant the latte is the best I’ve had in a while, the food is amazing, and the owner works the register himself.
They have homemade granola, muffins, and scones in addition to warm breakfast like baked French toast with pecans. It is a perfect hidden little restaurant that could contend in any big city, tucked in a small Michigan town. I may have a new favorite place!

Food is good. But don’t think you are going to enjoy a good time. They have 4 — 5 tables and they are full of 3 hs 1 coffee web surfers. No food/​beverage is worth the pain of driving to a place dreading you will have to change your plans of sitting and enjoying a coffee… not worth it unless you are ready for the pain of waiting or you treat it like a fancy drive through.

Hidden gem in Ada, MI. Amazing homemade breakfast and lunch. I had a curry chicken salad that was very flavorful. I have never had an omelette like this before either. Homemade muffins daily as well. Wonderful and attentive staff, wish I would have discovered sooner.

This is my kind of place! Small, quaint, not overly crowded…
I had the quiche with a side salad and a flavored san pellegrino. The quiche was the perfect consistency, both texture and flavor. I wish I had thought to ask for the salad dressing on the side, but it wasn’t put on very heavily so it was still fine.
My stepmom got the lentil soup, which was amazing! She apparently goes here almost every week.
I definitely recommend this place for a quick brunch/​lunch!

Been for breakfast now too. Omelette (spinach and cheddar) was excellent. Great cheddar used on it. Hubby had oatmeal which he said was really good. We are fast becoming big fans of this casual spot.

I’ve had lunch here twice now and it’s been exceptional each time. The chef and owner knows the principles of using simple, fresh, high quality ingredients, and letting them shine. As the perfect example, I was taken aback by how good the side salad was that came with my Italian meatloaf. It had fresh ingredients, probably from the farmers market in the parking lot of The Community church, with a simple but outstanding vinaigrette. If you put that much care into a side salad, the mains will shine even more, and they do.
The prices are really good, which completes the experience. Lunches usually run $ 6 or $ 7, so it’s reasonable to go more often than for just a special occasion.
