HOLLAND — As publication dates change at The Sentinel, we're using our Friday edition to showcase the locals who make our reporting possible.

"Holland In Photos," a series shot by freelance photographer Adam Vander Kooy, highlights the extra-ordinary happenings of your neighbors.

This week, Vander Kooy visited Up Leaf Café in The Shops at Westshore at 12371 James St. in Holland Township. Up Leaf opened in late 2023. The menu includes build-your-own options, signature salads, rice bowls, vermicelli bowls and spring rolls.
