The coffee here is so good! Donuts (regular and gluten-free) and other breakfast rolls are amazing! Calm, clean, modern vibes. Highly recommend.
Stopped by Strange Matter Coffee in Lansing, Michigan, and was instantly charmed by its vibrant ambiance.
The place is so well-lit and spacious, creating a perfect atmosphere for studying or catching up with friends. The coffee? Absolutely delightful. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a cozy spot with a great vibe! ☕️
Strange Matter is a Lansing gem! I love that it's so easy to walk to and the staff is great about allergen awareness. Delicious coffee and treats!
Update! The coffee is still excellent. I wish the staff would move a little bit quicker but other than that, SM is A+.
Update #2! It's pretty quiet this morning but wow was the team zippity quick. Go Cara! ❤️
I love it. I'm from Europe and have been looking for a good coffee shop in Lansing, which seems very hard to find apparently. I've been to many places including starbucks and they all serve junk. But then I walked into Strange Matter and found my place. They are awesome. They serve a great Espresso and the atmosphere is great. Also they are not over charging for coffee. If you are a true coffee drinker looking for REAL coffee then this is the place to be. Love it and will keep coming back.
Best Scones I’ve tasted this side of the Pond! Trendy, friendly and upbeat is the vibe of Strange Matter in downtown Lansing.
Give them a try!!
Strange Matter is something I am so glad I stumbled upon after moving to the area from GR. Quality coffee, traditional menu, house made syrups, and amazing baked goods. Recently, I ordered a dozen custom donuts and the bakers CRUSHED it. A great place to get work done, build community, and get yourself a little treat!
Exceptional spot in East Downtown for dine in or pick up. Baking options are good for vegan and gluten-free patrons. Favorite drinks are the cold brew and Nola. SM boasts quite the range for those looking for darker richer roasts all the way to the very sweet!
Additionally, Strange Matter has been so great at supporting local organizations in Lansing and are super invested in the community.
One thing I always appreciate about a city is their ability to play host to quality coffee shops. I must say Strange Matter is the best Lansing and it’s surrounding areas has to offer. Unfortunately, they don’t really have to compete against much other than Blue Owl coffee, who doesn’t even roast their own beans. I usually come to strange matter to get a bag of their single origin beans and a fresh vegan donut. I am always impressed by the colorful and creative flavors of donut they have. I also love that they give you a complimentary cup of coffee with the purchase of a bag of beans. I haven’t had a reason to enjoy their large open seating area yet but, from the looks of it, there’s many seating options to either enjoy a book on your own, get some work done, or catch up with friends.
I am regular here. Love the coffee, I think it's the best in town. Love the customer service, all the Barista's know me and remember my customized order. Highly recommend
We ordered custom donuts for our wedding from Strange Matter! We have always loved their coffee, treats, people, and service! They went above and beyond to make sure that we loved everything they created for the wedding and had the best experience. They looked at our wedding theme and created custom donuts that matched our theme and also created custom flavors based on our favorite flavor profiles! The donuts were absolutely gorgeous and delicious. They also made gluten free versions of all the flavors to accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions. They were helpful, responsive, and wonderful to work with. All of our guests raved about the donuts. We would highly recommend them for custom orders or just a visit to their cafe for coffee and a donut. It's so hard to find restaurants that accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions. We love Strange Matter!
