Delicious baked goods and great customer service. Heather went above and beyond when they didn't have part of the order I had pre-ordered for Christmas Eve. She not only credited me for the missed scones but included several free items and ordered me free scones for the next day I needed them. Her customer service made up for their mistake. I will definitely be back! Scones, muffins, and cookies were all delicious!

I love the coziness and quaint atmosphere of Village Baker. It is a small restaurant, but worth the wait. We arrived on a Saturday at 5pm and there was no wait. Our server greeted us shortly after sitting down and grabbed our drinks. We also had a couple of pretzels. We started with spinach and artichoke dip. This is my all time favorite spin dip. The buttery homemade bread dippers are what makes this phenomenal. My husband and I both had mules and they were delicious. I had a pizza and my husband the spaetzle. Both great dishes! Our server was so kind and friendly. We headed over to the bakery for a few things to go. Highly recommend all of their sweets!

YUM!!!! We were in Spring Lake for a wedding and got a great tip to try Village Baker. We went for lunch and actually ended up going back for dinner and breakfast the next morning. We had a variety of food and everything was amazing! It's such a cute place too. There is a coffee shop & bakery on one side, bar in the middle, and tables in the 3rd section. Everyone was so nice too! Leanne, Stacy, and manager Jason were awesome and made us feel right at home! This is a must when you're in Spring Lake!

The Village Baker is one of those go to places. We were staying at the marina in grand Haven and discover this place early on. Because we had our car it was an easy drive over to Spring Lake. I could rant and rave about all the good things on the food. Anybody that's been there knows how good it is. They have a very menu they will accommodate everybody's needs. The staff has always been outstanding we have never had a bad experience. They even have a bar in the restaurant. One time I even bellied up to the bar instead of sitting at one of their nice tables. Anyone that knows me knows I like sitting at the bars. I think there's a term for that called barflies. Just kidding I got a chuckle out of my wife though. And oh by the way I brought my wife to the bar one time. If you decide to check this out to stop at the front of the store and check the counter out. They have the most awesome cookie selection. My favorite molasses. Peggy's favorite peanut butter. Your favorite I don't know you'll have to share. Enjoy

This is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's got a quirky hometown vibe with a small store full of cute items you definitely don't need. They have a bakery on one side that is full of treats and the other side of the building is a sit down restaurant that serves breakfast until 11 and then has a great lunch and dinner menu filled with salads, sandwiches, pizzas and some other classic dinner options. The service is friendly and fast. While this isn't a fancy place I think it does a great job serving quality food!

We stopped by twice while visiting - once for coffee and pastries and second for dinner. The morning staff could've been a little more welcoming, but the general manager was very sweet. We ordered a loaf of the San Francisco sourdough, apricot scone, cranberry orange muffin, and a cinnamon roll. Out of all those items, the cranberry orange muffin and sourdough bread was the best. The other two were a little underwhelming. I ordered a dirty chai latte, but it just tasted like a regular latte. We ordered it all to-go, otherwise I would've brought it up to their attention. Maybe they made it wrong? For dinner, we ordered the Mushroom Spaetzle, Beef Spaetzle, and crab cakes. The mushroom was much better than the beef, the meatballs were SO flavorful! Crab cakes were great! Overall, it's a great place to grab coffee, pastries, or dinner. I'd probably visit again in the future.

Solid brekkie spot that's popular among locals and visitors. Service was prompt, regular, and friendly. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast. Looked amazing, but tasted mainly like a cinnamon roll that had simply been covered in bananas and syrup. I couldn't figure out what was "French toast-y" about it. Maybe a (longer) soak in the egg batter? Buttermilk pancakes here aren't light and fluffy; they're thinner, more crepe-like and are wet in the middle--but that is how some folks like 'em. Crab meat omelet had lots of real jumbo lump crab (yum!). Sides like bacon and hashbrowns are unremarkable but they did the job. All that said, if you ask me, the adjoining bakery is the real star. Actually, it deserves its own five-stars. A German pal of mine said Village Baker's pretzels are the closest you can get to actually being in Germany--that's high praise! Loads of other delectable confections, breads, and bakery treats. Don't drool on the glass cabinets. :-P

Came here my kids and some friends after blueberry picking. What a gem! Sat outside and one of there many salads and pizza! So delicious. Their pizza was one of the best thin crust pizzas I've had in along time, and they have a lot of different inventive options. The crust is really think and crisp. Saturdays and Sundays the place serves breakfast till 2:30, but we were told by server the kitchen was over done with breakfast (at 2pm on Saturdays). We had 4 kids ordering the Bavarian pretzels which they all devoured with a side. We sat outside in their small patio which was nice. Definitely want to come here again for more pizza and to try one of their other salads. Israeli couscous was an ingredient in a couple salad options! After lunch we headed to the bakery to check it out. At that late afternoon time, muffins and scones were 1/2 off. Order an apricot and blueberry scone, lemon poppyseed muffin, a couple cookies, macaroon, and some mini cannolis. All were delicious!
