The Morning Post A Spirited Breakfast opened in the Brookfield Plaza at the northwest corner of Hagadorn and Grand River.

Rumblings of this new breakfast joint hit the scene in early January 2024 when new, temporary signage went up over the old (The Cosmos) signage. After almost a year, the wait is over.

While the official Grand Opening isn't until December 23rd (according to an employee), the doors are open and they're serving up breakfast.

Here's a look at the menu:

A patron posted pictures of their food and talked about their experience on Lansing Chowhounds Facebook group, and overall had a really good experience. Service was good and so was the food; the biscuits and gravy and steak benedict.

The Morning Post specializes in breakfast offerings, and soon, specialty boozy brunch cocktails. An employee mentioned that The Morning Post expected to get its liquor license after the New Year.
