Madcap Coffee Company — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

I just moved to the area from Ann Arbor, which was a haven for good coffee in generous sizes. This was the first cup of coffee I bought in Grand Rapids. I have worked in service, so I am always going to tip the workers well, and they were speedy and kind. However the portion size of the coffee sorely disappointed me.

I find paying $10 for a 4 oz cup of coffee to be a traumatic experience.

I also didn't enjoy my coffee, I got a seasonal banana flavor, and it had a sour after taste and there were grains of banana at the bottom of my cup, which I reached quickly.

Not a fan of this business model, and I will never go back. Since my entire family also are foodies familiar with the gourmet coffee scene from Ann Arbor, I would be embarrassed to take them here and I will be leading them elsewhere. My father has no problem spending money, and has worked at U of M CAEN as management for 35 years. He too would complain about the portion size and never go back. Even people who are privileged dislike small portion sizes and find them greedy and...

Love this shop!! In the top 10 for aesthetic :) • espresso : a delectable • sweet • creamy • citrus flavor finished with a pleasant, gentle tang (roasted @madcapcoffee on cite ) • nitro cold brew : FANTASTIC -delightful layer of froth with a creamy impossibly smooth and chocolatey body • @lamarzocco espresso machine • interior : incredible interior fitted with a balanced blend of industrial • modern chic • and homey - well maintained plants tastefully accent clean white brick, a beautiful bar and black hardware • outlets easily accesible for each seating space • huge amount of tables and a gorgeous outdoor seating area connected through an open air garage door making the space flow and blend organically • wonderfull service with an emphasis on quality yet not lacking in genuine friendliness and welcoming personas • absolutely love this shop, however it tends to err on the busier side of the spectrum

I've unintentionally become a bit of a coffee snob. I like trying coffee shops and coffees when we travel, and I've gotten to appreciate some of the quality of third-wave coffee shops.

Madcap makes really, really good coffee. They roast it for other places as well as for their own shops. This is my first time here at one of the Madcap locations. The coffee is superb. The shop is a little small, and very bare bones. It was also a bit tricky finding a place to park.

If you are in the area, and love high quality coffee, I recommend it (especially if you don't mind hipsters & people working on laptops). If you want a drip coffee and a comfy couch kind of place, this is NOT the place for you. My pour-over was delicious, notes of blueberry without being too sour.

I only mark it 4/5 because of the parking, and I personally don't care for the white on...
