Meds Cafe Lowell
Cannabis Shop in Lowell, Michigan
Kent County's first recreational cannabis shop — open since March 2020 with deli-style flower, weekly deals, and a team that knows the menu.
Meds Cafe Lowell made history as Kent County's first recreational cannabis shop when it opened on March 13, 2020. Over five years later, it's still the go-to stop for deli-style flower, vapes, pre-rolls, concentrates, and edibles near Grand Rapids.
Directions, parking & nearby
We're at 1965 W Main St in Lowell — right on the M-21 corridor that connects Grand Rapids to Lowell. Most Grand Rapids shoppers take M-21 east or I-96 to the Lowell area depending on traffic; we have on-site customer parking in our lot (every Meds Cafe location has on-site parking), so you're not hunting for metered street spots downtown.
Lowell is a straight shot for Ada, Saranac, and Alto shoppers, and we're a common "east side" stop for people who want deli-style flower without navigating a big-city retail cluster.
