We’re Strange Matter Coffee;


a coffee bar & bakery in Lansing, Michigan. We originally opened as a coffee stand in the Eastside’s Allen Street Farmers Market. Our first small shop opened in 2014, with only four employees and twenty seats. Since then, we’ve grown to three locations, started our own bakery, and now have 50 employees!

Strange Matter Coffee Co. is the invention of Cara Nader, with the help of more people than can be listed. Cara has spent over a decade in the coffee industry as a manager, trainer, regional barista competitor, and previously served as the Great Lakes Barista Guild Chapter Representative. Cara has traveled the world to experience coffee and wants nothing more than for the people of Lansing to enjoy excellent beverages.
