What customers say

Strange Matter was a busy place when I visited, but I found it quite pleasant. The space is modern and relaxed, and the donuts looked great. I got two donuts and their Guatemalan pour over coffee. The coffee was delicious and complex, and it was worthwhile drinking without adulteration.

Coffee is very good. Prices are fine/ average. Staff are outstanding. But the atmosphere is downright unpleasant. The lights are *bright*, and there's no place to escape them. Not a ton of art.

I am a fan of Strange Matter. First time visiting the downtown location. Great pull over ($4.75) and donuts ($2.5). This location is currently much smaller than the Michigan Ave one, possibly with less donuts selection..

Since current health change, diet/nutrition has been more tweaked. We was looking for hot tea and came across this Hidden Lansing gem! Double bonus they have vegan donuts with choices The hot tea Chamomile was delicious. The pumpkin cheesecake was so delicious I wish I brought one home for later!
