Manna Cafe is fantastic. The Pulled Pork sandwich (I choose the spicy sauce vs the sweet) has to be one of the top 5 sandwiches Ive ever eaten. Seriously good. It has a Jamaican Jerk BBQ flavor that is just mouth-watering. I dine there at lunch and find it to be a bit pricey for a typical lunch out (about a buck too expensive IMO), but the food is fantastic so I keep coming back. If they drop the price it would earn a 5th star. I appreciate the "mission statement" of the restaurant and feel good supporting a locally-owned business that is dedicated to spreading a positive message while helping others around the world. Very cool!

I go this restaurant at least once a week because their food is great, love their lattes and have good service, until today, my wife and I walked in the restaurant about 20 minutes before closing time and we literally stood at the entrance about 2 minutes waiting for someone to come up to us to seat us down. NOT one person came up to us nor acknowledged that we were there, especially, a lady in black that was on her phone standing in front of the kitchen window ignoring us. That was what pissed me off the most! plus, a server walked back to the kitchen once she saw us pull up to park. LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER! NOT GOING HERE AGAIN!

The food was fantastic. I order the Reuben Benedict. We did wait a small amount of time to be seated, but not too bad. We went around 11:30. Our waitress was very accommodating. The only draw back was the wait for the food once we ordered. We were told that they had a "new" cook. However, the waitress did go out of her way to apologize as well as bringing out a few small desserts at no charge while we were waiting and also did not charge us for our beverages due to the long wait for our food. I would definitely go back as I expect that would not be norm.

Ive been there several times and get the Brunswick Stew every time. I recently had the pulled pork sandwich with the sweet barbeque sauce. It was very good as is the Brunswick Stew. I like that the food is original and incorporates some awesome flavors. Its a place that gives a glass bottle of water to every table, uses cloth napkins and has a comfortable setting. I have recommended it to many people and would highly recommend it to anyone. If you want great service and great food, then its the place to go!

I give the food and atmosphere 4 stars, I have been at Mana Cafe about 3 times but today we had the worst waiter I have ever had so I didnt leave a tip and that has never happened. Never asked if we needed anything or how is your food, if we needed refilles. I wanted something eles to drink and I tryed to get his attention 3 times, so I just got up to ask for my self. I expect good customer service. Dont just go through the motions please. No they were not that busy.

2:02pm on Saturday "Were closed. My boss,... we should have locked the door already." Maybe you should have, but we are in your restaurant now. An hour before your posted close. But great, thanks, youre closed. After all of the times Ive told friends about Manna Café, all of the times weve come in to eat, I have no plans on visiting your reataurant ever again. Figure it out.

Fabulous! My family and I were passing through and found the great reviews on this cafe. The staff was friendly, the food was wonderful. Our party of eight tried different breakfast items and all shared bites to experience all the super selections. We all highly recommend this great cafe.

The food and service were outstanding! I had the Greek omelet, my husband had the hash and our daughter had the blueberry granola waffle. We also bought a loaf of Manna bread to take home; its full of wonderful seeds and grains! I recommend this place highly!

Yuppi-licous...overpriced, bland mush...neither of us ate our meals... Waitress was forever to come check on us, said shed get a manager... Manager didnt bother to visit...lame food, lame service... They should prey to Jesus to send them a new cook

We go there often on Sunday after church. So much better that some of the other breakfast places in this area. Great food with little twists that you dont see in other places that makes is seen a little bit more home style.

This is probably my favorite place for breakfast in GR due to two factors: the food is awesome and Ive never had to wait in line. The latter of which seems to be problematic at every other (good) breakfast place in town.

Great restaurant and the food is awesome. I love that its a ministry and the profit goes to help spread the word of Christ to the world. Better food than Annas House with much better service.

Excellent service, brunch was delicious and fresh! I ordered the smoked salmon frittata, daughters had the biscuits and gravy and the morning glory with house smoked sausage. So. Good.

Weve eaten here a few times for breakfast and once for lunch. Not once has anyone in our party gotten a meal they didnt thoroughly enjoy. Service has always been exceptional as well.

Great Food! Great Service! Great atmosphere...almost. Seriously...biblical bread puns. Its 2014. .....A christian-themed restaurant!...only in West Michigan. My god. What a joke.

Great wait staff! Personable, efficient and just good people! Salmon Frittata is excellent. Nutritious Power bowl is a sleeper! Lunch Rueben is wonderful. We go as much as we can!

Food was fast and good. Service is horrible. We have been waiting for our waitress to come with our bill for 20 minutes. Its like we became invisible to everyone.

Great breakfast. Most things are made in house including the bacon, ham and sausage. Great food at a great place always busy but never a problem getting a table

Best brunch in town. Maybe anywhere. You can eat light or really fill yourself up. Theres nothing particular on the menu to recommend because its all amazing.

Jamaican Jerk Benedict. If you havent tried this you are missing out. Great breakfast items. Usually busy during the week days, but waits are very short.

$5 for a latte to go? Haha what a joke, it was the worst latte I ever had. I didnt ask for cinnamon and it was all I could taste. Cute spot but no thanks.

Go elsewhere for fast food/service. Come here for tasty home cooked food and friendly servers. Beware, portions are generous. Allow an hour for breakfast.

We had a great breakfast that was reasonably priced especially considering all the bread and biscuits are homemade. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

Brunswick stew:. Fabulous. I tried it on the recommendation over the server and it was great. Kind of drive out of your way for great.

We had breakfast here. Just right portions (dont expect to be stuffed) and good flavor. About the right price for the food.
