Located just southeast of downtown Grand Rapids is a delightful third place full of sweet and tasty treats that first opened in 2002. The Wealthy Street Bakery was one of the first places Alison took me in Grand Rapids after we met and it remains one of our favorite local hangouts for a quick snack, hearty lunch, or for yummy treats like scones, Danish pastries, and muffins.

A delightful aromatic blend of coffee and baked goods permeates the bakery upon entering. Its eclectic atmosphere, hardwood floors, and charming 1930s era grocery store location will warm your heart. Anyone who appreciates historic preservation and adaptive reuse of old buildings will enjoy the sights and sounds of the bakery in addition to its fine food offerings.

Next time you are in Grand Rapids, consider taking a trip to the Wealthy Street Bakery – the experience will be enriching.
