With three existing locations in the Grand Rapids area, Morning Belle continues to build on its reputation as a premier brunch destination—one that pairs joyful hospitality with memorable meals. The restaurant, a local favorite for creatively plated and delicious brunch offerings, is expanding its footprint with the opening of a fourth location. The new restaurant, located at 355 Wilson Ave. NW in Walker, is set to open its doors on May 20.

Known for its commitment to fresh ingredients and inclusive menu offerings, Morning Belle has become a go-to destination for both Grand Rapids residents and out-of-town visitors. The new Walker location will continue the tradition, offering the same vibrant menu that accommodates a range of dietary preferences, including gluten-friendly, vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options.

“We are excited to bring Morning Belle to another part of Grand Rapids,” said Mike Thorp, director of operations at Morning Belle. “Our goal is to provide an everyday luxury brunch experience with delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to serving even more guests and becoming their new morning crush. The Standale Morning Belle provides a large bar, which is a first for Morning Belle and we look forward to introducing some new options with that addition.”

Guests can expect to find signature items like the indulgent Banana Pudding French Toast, the Glazed Doughnut Waffle, and a rotating selection of omelets and hearty bowls featuring unique flavor combinations. Beverage highlights include the Belle Mimosa, Spiked Cold Brew, and the customizable Bloody Mary Your Way.

Morning Belle sources coffee from Grand Rapids-based Schuil Coffee Company and emphasizes sustainable practices throughout its operations. Each location is designed to deliver an inviting dining experience, marked by bright interiors and attentive service.

To mark the grand opening, the Walker location will host a celebration on May 20. The event will include giveaways, photo opportunities, and a standout promotion: free coffee for life for the first 100 customers through the door.
