James & Shirley Balk Café with the Grand Rapids Press Terrace - Social

Enjoy culinary delights under a Chihuly sculpture or on an outdoor patio.

The James & Shirley Balk Café is home to Lena’s Garden, a spectacular installation of vibrantly colored blown glass created exclusively for this location by sculptor Dale Chihuly. The uniquely shaped café is designed with large windows in a garden setting and the fabulous Grand Rapids Press Terrace. The open-air atmosphere is created by trees, gardens and the lovely Wings of Morning sculpture by Marshall Fredericks, accented by a multitiered fountain. This space is ideal for after-hours social gatherings.
