50 Best Coffee Shops in Grand Rapids

“Good iced Carmel lattes and amazing breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast! love the atmosphere.“

“Great coffee, the owners and staff are wonderful. Go and check them out, you will be glad that you did. Five stars!“

“I recommend everything! This is like finding a rare gold coin in your pocket change, or a Monet at the Salvation Army thrift store. Or stepping into Paris from the sidewalk in southeast Grand Rapids. Go slowly! Each nibble fills you with bright, exotic sensations. We go for the scones, cookies and madeleines. Today we tried the financiers, ginger passion fruit and s’more. Yes, it’s a fusion of French and American, but it’s how they’d do it in Paris.“

“Been coming here for years and their coffee is my absolute favorite. Always consistent and amazing. Only complaint are the prices have greatly increased over the years. Obviously prices are going to increase but I used to pay $4.50 for a latte in 2020 and now paying north of $7.50 or $8. Customer service is always meh. Never overly friendly. Keep coming back because of the amazing coffee!“

“If you want to have a wonderful and educational experience, check out the Saturday Experience at Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters. Craig is so informative, the staff is super friendly, and the coffee samples are delicious! Hearing about how coffee is made and roasted was delightful. It was a wonderful way to spend some time
On a Saturday!“

“Incredible fun for our 3 year-old. Sooooo many different toys. Tasty espresso drinks (and I'm picky). Priced well. Owner is an angel - I thought I'd have to yank my little man out during a really bad tantrum, and she was able to take him aside and calm him.“

“Happy! These people are happy. They brighten your day. That's what makes this place unique.Small White Mocha skinny was good. Comparable to other coffee chains like Starbucks and Biggby. It has its slight difference, but not too much.Drive-thru only. No dine-in.

Parking: Well, it's drive-thru only.“

“I love a good coffee shop and Madcap was super cool! I went right at 8am and there were already people lined up for them to open. Unfortunately, I’m not really a coffee or tea person, so, I mainly go to coffee shops for the vibes and food. I ordered an Apple Cinnamon muffin and it was really good! Super fresh and very tasty. Awesome experience!“

“Best coffee the service was great and I really enjoyed the outside sitting“

“Attended an espresso class on 10/19 and loved seeing the inside workings of how coffee is made all the way to how the beans are selected! Jess and Jake made class fun and really hands on - would love more class offerings! Also great cappuccinos and love the free little library - both my husband and each took home a book! We will be back for more coffee lessons, to contribute to the free little library, and of course for more delicious cappuccinos ☕️😊“

“My son just graduated from high school and wanted donuts at his graduation party. I decided to order from Phoenix Rising and I am so glad I did!! The ordering was easy and they were super friendly to work with. I ordered 15 dozen in addition to donut holes. They were delicious and beautiful. They gave us a large variety and it was all ready on time. I am so happy we ordered from here. Couldn’t be happier with the process. We definitely found our new donut place.“

“Very impressed with food!! Extremely good.“

“Fast drive thru times and very hardworking team ❤️“

“Frequently meet friends and have some of the best brunch in the city. Always busy but for a reason, and the service and hospitality which are already top notch, do not suffer. An example of this is when they bring you your food they remember who ordered which plate. This is one of those underrated hospitality things they do that other establishments don’t reach. I will always be back :)“

“Whether you are looking for a morning coffee spot or a late night glass of wine, this is the spot. Everything we’ve had here (coffee, pastries, appetizers, wine and cocktails) has been excellent, and we especially appreciate that they are open late on Sunday.“

“Bei sehr gute und freundliche Bedienung sein Café Latte genießen“

“I travel regularly for work, and I’m a regular Starbucks drinker. That being said, I’ve visited a lot of different locations from coast to coast, this one is by far the best, here is why… I cycled between a few different orders, but they are always consistent and always good. Their facility is very clean (I propose it often as a meeting place with colleagues/friends). Most important, their staff is incredible. They’ve taken the time to remember me by name (I know it’s on the cup), and truly take the time to look me in the eye and ask me how I’m doing or what I did this weekend (not just one of the staff, all of them). I wish there was a way I could highlight this group further, because they’re truly an incredible staff.“
