The 517 Coffee Company is absolutely fantastic! They recently serviced and cleaned our espresso machine, and the experience was top-notch. James was incredibly kind and took the time to explain everything in great detail, helping us understand our machine so much better. We are starting a coffee catering company and could not be happier that we chose them as our roaster.
We also had the opportunity to do a barista training session a while back with Vincent, and it was beyond helpful. Whether you're looking for roaster needs, machine maintenance, or just a fun and informative training session, I can't recommend The 517 Coffee Company enough. Their training is perfect for a date night or for anyone who wants to learn more about espresso.
In addition to all of this, they are committed to social responsibility and community support. They actively stand up for what's right by creating a safe and affirming space. Check out their socials to see more about their activism because it is truly impressive for a small business to give back as much as they...

They're just genuinely good people that happen to be excellent at their trade. Lastly, their prices are very reasonable and they have a great points system! I am SO thankful that they decided to bless South Lansing with...
Read moreI'm a diehard Biggby customer but I always pass this shop otw to work. This am the winds of change had me stop in. The barista/manager/overall chill dude in there was super friendly. They have a smaller menu than alot of places [not in a shade way, just stating a fact] and the barista picked up on my ummmmms and made a suggestion. I paid $5ish/6 for a 16oz peach cobbler latte with oat milk. Just like he said it wasn't overpowering and a smooth bev :) small but chill environment. You could def meet w a couple friends or study here. I really liked that they support local artists and have pieces for sale. I'll def swing by again. Kudos to the barista for the...
