Madcap Coffee Company

There are some really great things about this cafe. The location and atmosphere are great. And the baristas were really friendly and knowledgeable. I got their coffee flight, which came with an espresso, black coffee, and a small milk based drink. The milk drink was very good, but unfortunately both the black coffee and the espresso were very underextracted. So I can't say I was impressed with the drinks themselves. I also bought some beans which were excellent, but also double the price of the comparable beans I buy from amazing roasters back home. So in summary, great location, staff, and beans, but they need to dial in their drinks, and I don't know if I am willing to pay their premium prices.

Can't ask for anything more. Top tier baristas with an approachable vibe. Delicious coffee and accompaniments. Sponsors local artists.

First time in here, had a House of Jupiter and Vanilla latte, would definitely recommend! I will be coming here when I’m in town

Very efficient, we sat next to the station where they’re making most of the drinks and it’s all very impressive. The teamwork is phenomenal and the coffee is excellent.

The coffee was not rich in flavor or hot. I only went once maybe a different coffee would have been better, I got the vanilla latte.

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.

Excellent Cappuccino. Good atmosphere with friendly and fast service. Highly recommend going here over Starbucks.

It's decent, the vibe is cool, coffee is okay. Location is great. The staff seems a little disinterested (Maybe that's part of the vibe?) not a huge deal, still worth stopping by!

Can't tell you anything about it, but got in line with two others ahead of us, and I and my party were kicked out because they apparently closed just as I got in. Notably, the people in front of me weren't kicked out despite not having placed their order yet either. Informed the other folks entering the store who weren't in my party that, despite the entrance being open, and people inside sitting and chatting, that they were closed and wouldn't be helped like we were.

This is the original Madcap in Grand Rapids. It is a little different than the Detroit ship, but a great place to sit for a coffee and work on your laptop for a few.
