My wife and I searched to find the best coffee shop in the Grand Rapids area, and I think we found it(prove me wrong). Loved the atmosphere of the shop, the varietals of coffee and the seasonal drinks. Came back for more a couple days later, had a couple of drips, a seasonal and a cappuccino. Enjoyed the coffee very much!

Stopped my Madcap during the ArtWalk (for which its location is absolutely perfect for people-watching). Wed been tooling around for a couple of hours and all in our party agreed that a corner spot with outdoor seating was just the break we needed.The caffé latte was just perfect - the sweet spot between weak and bitter - and especially appreciated by the elderly imbiber.We shared two pour-overs: the local area code-inspired Six One Six and the Santa Lucia (described as a brighter varietal). Both were delightfully drinkable; robust and full-bodied without any hint of bitter, heavy-handed roasting. A win black and with a touch of cream.Our fourth, appreciated the large plastic cups for the filtered water. So thank you for that as well, Madcap. It was a very worthwhile fly-by, to be repeated.

Nice, clean space with friendly staff. You can also buy plants in there! The menu is pretty limited too. Not too many food options or non-coffee options. Only alternative milk is oat.

Minimalist decor with great espresso and lattes. Came in the morning hoping to get a latte and baked good. Only food choices were granola (dry) or a chocolate chip cookie.

Friendly staff, great service and good coffee and tea :)

Awesome experience and stop.Ordered the miel and mocha. Was made right in front of us. The guy making it was very personable. Coffee was great. Cool hip spot near everything. Highly recommend.

Hands down best coffee in GR !!My usual is a Cortado, love it ❤️Staff is very friendly !!

AMAZING coffee, incredibly friendly staff, very cool vibe!

Came into Michigan for a wedding about a half hour south of here. Heard about the place as “the best quality coffee in Grand Rapids”. I said, “listen, you know I’m a guy who can enjoy a nice espresso in Italy or a meticulously comprised flat white in Australia...or literally a finely stirred cup of instant coffee in my tiny apartment in Colorado. I have learned to appreciate any coffee anywhere. But I’m game for a good cup!” And wouldn’t you know it, Madcap delivered no the good cup! I tried to stop here on my first day in town and had no mask because I lost my coat with the mask in the pocket and had to leave and come back the next day. Ha, long story. But when I came back to buy a bag of beans as a gift for a friend, I smelled the coffee, ordered a nice cup for myself and got so lost in my cup that I forgot why I had originally come and had to come back later for the bag of beans. Haha. This place! My initial impressions:Well crafted coffee. Great attention to detail. Had a double americano. Flavors were very robust. Surprised at the depth of flavors! Would come back in a heartbeat if I lived nearby.

This is our go to place for coffee when in Grand Rapids. They have a great vibe and the music was bumping. I really enjoyed pulling up here on the daily.

Coffee’s good, service was neither above or beyond. Asked for one of the clear Togo cups, barista didn’t hear me and I got stiff service for clarifying. Maybe it’s just that certain folks at certain intersections don’t like me? It’s mutual.

Good coffee but once I got to the middle of my coffee is was all milk. Just wasnt made right. But still good

Coffee prices are outrageous. Bought an almost $6 mocha and was served a very small cup of coffee not much bigger than an espresso. Good flavor but waaay too small.

Nitro Coldbrew is outstanding!

Delicious copy. Made it easy to order online, the coffee was ready in less than 5min. Great service, cute seating outside.

• classically delicious coffee• unique and flavorful specialty drinks• limited seating and parking• excellent chai• beautiful corner location• wonderful staffone inconvenience is that it is often too busy to find yourself a seat.

This local coffee brewery was suggested to by a local friends and its really good to visit such local coffee house instead of our regular ones. We ordered through the app and it was quite hassle free process. The price to quantity ratio is a bit less but the taste makes up the to the mark. I ordered a mocha and hot chocolate and it was smoothing. The hot chocolate was really comforting in chilling morning and made my dayThankyou management for making sure everyone wears a mask!.

Ive enjoyed buying whole beans for take home. Excellent roaster here in GR.

Such a great coffee shop!!

One of our goals while traveling is to find the best coffee shop. In our opinion this is the best one in Grand Rapids. The building had a great feel and great coffee. We will be back!

Great coffee place. Pour over and espresso drinks, tea, other drinks. The latte was amazing.

Cozy atmosphere and great coffee thats now available in meijer if you cant make it downtown

Very nice baristas and a comfy place to relax, study or read while enjoying coffee

Nice sitting peacefully outside on a small table and chair sipping coffee along with a nice glass of water.

Tasty espresso. Worth the money spent!

So glad my husband and I stopped in this coffee shop. The mocha was delicious and we sat on a sofa and enjoyed the atmosphere for an hour. The staff was great.

Delicious coffee. Quick and friendly service.

Nice atmosphere but the coffee just didnt taste great. Maybe I was there on a bad day.

Nice experience hereThe expresso coffee and the chocolate cookie are deliciousThe iced moka is not so tastyNice, quiet and sunny main room

The 616 is a great dark roast! Stop here for your coffee needs!

Best freaking coffee in MI. Got a 5 lb bagFor my espresso machine 👌

AMAZING COFFEE! Seriously, you cant go wrong with these guys. Coffee wasnt too hot, and was ready to drink as soon as it was in my hand!

Good drinks, fast service. My daughter loved the atmosphere.

Excellent place to experience top flight coffee. One of the best roasters in the country.The staff prepares every drink with the care you would expect from a $5 cup of coffee.The shop is always stocked with bags of fresh roasted delicious coffee.I highly recommend trying one of the tasting flights. That way you can experience the different notes that are brought out of each carefully selected coffee.It is a bit loud so not a great place to carry on a conversation. And the ordering process can be a bit intimidating for the uninformed.All in all, MadCap is a flagship third wave roaster that will not disappoint any coffee lover. I highly recommend stopping by.

Best coffee in west michigan! In house roasting.

Wonderful coffee shop...local first!

Great coffee and I love the spot.

Seriously one of the best lattes Ive ever had.

Well crafted and prepared coffee drinks.

I love this place they have amazing drinks and the staff is also so nice. Their iced chai latte is really good

The cafe where I fell in love with coffee as a culinary art. For the last 10 years, Madcap Coffee has been on the cutting edge of the specialty coffee not only in Grand Rapids, but in the community worldwide. Always seeking new heights of excellence in product, service, and environment, Madcap Coffee is a must for any coffee lover.

Just grabbed an amazing bag of coffee ground perfectly for my press. Thanks guys!!

Good coffe, even better staff

A thousand places to get incredible craft beer on Grand Rapids, but try to find a great coffee shop. Ladies and gentlemen look no further. Fabulous place, great service and a really kick as coffee. We had a beaker of fresh roast coffee and a latte... Great coffee

Super cool coffee shop with a great selection of tasty coffee.

Great place to meet up for coffee.

One of the best pour over coffees Ive had. Fast and friendly service.

If you like damn good coffee & excellent lattes, gorgeous & clean atmosphere and don’t hate music, this is the place for you.

One of the best coffee shops in Michigan. Be sure to ask them for a pickle!

Great coffee!

Coffee flight is really good. Give you a chance to try a few different flavors.I personally enjoyed the Kanzu, which is a bean from Rwanda. It has notes of baked apple, white grape, Carmel, and is soft.I think it finishes really clean.

I personally love the modern minimalist look. The drinks are definitely pricier, however, I also understand that that is because this is a local coffee joint, and who doesnt love supporting their local businesses?

Some of the most delicious black coffee Ive ever had. Its a must stop for coffee lovers if youre in the area. Roomy simplistic but tasteful atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available for the beautiful days.

Got to visit this Madcap coffee location and I have to say that I really enjoyed the experience. The coffee shop was really well laid out and had plenty of seating, and the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee tasted amazing as well! All in all a fantastic experience and I would definitely go back again.

Tasty! Nice staff, clean and comfy! Thank you for the warmup and the beautiful coffee art!

Love this place. Hands down the best coffee downtown. My husband loves the nitro coffee and I love the coconut milk latte. They make their coconut milk in house and you can tell. So flavorful and creamy. Great service every single time. Comfortable seating and nice music.

Best coffee shop in Grand Rapids. Excellent service, great location, and the best coffee in West Michigan. Quality at Madcap is the best way to describe them.

Great service and fantastic coffee choices-

Their coffee is very special and different

Warm, inviting atmosphere with a great location on the corner downtown. Educated staff that were pleasant and informative. Wonderful coffee and brew methods. A must while visiting GR. Setting the tone for the coffee culture in the Midwest.

Delicious latte! Speedy service.

Great place! Coffee, cookies, and quiche are all very good. Right I. The heart of downtown GR. Its usually busy, but worth the wait.

Inventive offerings (tea and coffee), inviting space, diverse demographic of peoples and very knowledgeable and courteous staff. Highly recommended (especially this sweet potato latte)

There are no flavor options, and the coffee is decent but overpriced for what you get. A plain cup of coffee ranges from $3.50 to $6.50. There are also VERY limited options to add to the coffee. All they had for sweetener is simple syrup, nothing carb free, so if youre on keto or diabetic, there are no options. Also, no cinnamon, cocoa powder, or anything of that sort. The only creamer they have is whole milk, no cream or half and half.

Good coffee and very nice team there, thanks 🤟🏻

If you have Jet Lag ...Not expensive. These are European coffees: Europeans emphasize natural coffee flavors in cappuccinos and lattes, I do understand this but, the coffees were not hot:/ Seriously caffeinated as the name implies 🤓

Excellent coffee & experienced, friendly baristas keep us coming back to visit this GR spot on our summer travels from Chicago year after year!

Love Madcap. In from California and had to get some beans to take back.

I found this on a list of best coffee shops in the USA and was not disappointed!

Ordered a latte and it was EXCELLENT. Great quality of beans; espresso tasted smooth, not too bitter; foam also very smooth, no bug bubbles. Would wanna go here again if I’m ever back at Grand Rapids.

Very pleasant atmosphere

Great coffee...but with a touch of tude

I enjoy lattes. This latte was not the best. Unrefined, the espresso tasted bitter and watered down even set with whole milk and vanilla syrup. Every sip ended with my mouth feeling chalky and like I needed a chaser. I like the atmosphere, and their just responsible action to their employees by only allowing 1 customer in at a time (which counts for the second star) but I will definitely not be visiting again.

As soon as the masked man saw me and my boys, he brought the trash in and locked the door. The very same door that said Monday-Friday 7am-7pm. It was in fact 3pm Friday, April 9th. Outrageous and unheard of. Trash establishment.

Great coffee with TLC. My husband had an Iced Mocha that was not only sweet and delicious, but a high dose of caffeine. I had an Iced Dirty Chai Latte that was fantastic and energizing! Both our drinks were super yummy, brought us back to life, and made us jealous that we dont have one in our city. Good service, prices worth the quality. Its not somewhere I would chill at due to lack of/uncomfortable seating. Beware of hipsters ✌

Good coffee. Really clean. Great atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Kind of busy and rushed

Pretty good coffee, great looking place.The roaster caught fire one time we were thereA little acidic though.

The quality of the pour overs and specialty drinks are always a step above everywhere else. I’ve been here many times and the consistency is there. You can always expect to get the one of the highest quality cups here for a price comparable to other local coffee shops.

Amazing place, and amazing chai latte(I am not a caffeine person). I LOVE the vibe here.

Impressive tea list, tasty snacks, and cool vibes. A little pricey, but the service is really great.

Very nice coffee

So disappointed...last year, Mad Cap offered this amazing flight of coffee (whatever was brewing that day) plus their in house made coconut milk. This year, thanks to the current environment, you can only order online then pick up. Nothing fresh brewed or even some of the better coffee (like Finca De Dios). So sad 🥺

Caffeine fix at GRs finest, we recommend

A modern, but pleasant and minimalistic atmosphere in the heart of downtown where you can get an excellent cup of coffee by coffee professionals.

Great coffee and a great atmosphere! If you want a well balanced and flavorful cup of coffee I definitely recommend giving Madcap a try.

Loved the coffee. Staff was nice, but not very forthcoming with options or information for someone who was in the first time.

Madcap has been around for a while and sometimes when that happens things get old feeling but not this place! They seem to always be getting better from their offerings to their service. Are definitely passionate about coffee and preparing at exactly the right way. and because of this their coffee is absolutely outstanding. If you are a coffee lover this is the place for you. Their cold Brews are the best in town. In the summer they have outdoor sitting right on the sidewalk. Great place!

I love how trendy it is. They have so many great choices too

Had a very good iced chai. Went back the next day and had some sort of tea thing which was good too.

Had single espresso, very good coffee and nice big open space right downtown.

Great coffee and neat atmosphere!

Great services and atmosphere!

I’m from Missouri so I’ve only been able to go here once, but I’ve bought beans from them for over a year and they’re always top-notch quality. The shop is a fun atmosphere and the staff were all super helpful and friendly. Will definitely try to make it back the next time I’m in Grand Rapids :)

Was very good. But the it was expensive for the little bit you get

Very stylish coffee joint. Beautiful aesthetics, wonderful atmosphere. They have fast efficient service, yet they take pride in high quality coffee.

One of the best mochas Ive had

The coffee is great but I wish they had large to go sizes. If you like really loud music and an echoing environment, this is your place!

Great spot! They have an awesome iced & cafe mocha! Right in the center of downtown Grand Rapids, prime location! Service is always great, and the quality of their coffee is incredible!

Ive been here several times and I always have a great experience. One time I ran into my old friend Ginger while I was drinking a hot tea. Another time I visited with Adam Bird of The People Picture Company. But for the most part, Im just lonely.

Really great coffee & hot chocolate. A small variety of pastries. I love the feel of the place, and its usually very quiet -- good to bring a book or a friend. My favorite place in the Inner Sunset.
