5/5 for aesthetics and natural light, but a 3.5/5 for the coffee. I just felt like I got a little less than what the cup could hold and my drink was more milky than it was coffee. For the description of what the drink was, it fell short from the experience. It was a seasonal Japanese style drink with undertones of anise, ginger, and cinnamon, with some smokiness and a housemade syrup. The service was wonderful and supportive with my indecisiveness haha I hope I have a better experience next time! read more

Madcap coffee is a staple in GR, recently I've been coming to the downtown location more often and really have been enjoying it. Their matcha lattes are always delicious, not too sweet, and always strong like I prefer. The service is always great here and always good vibes for getting work done or taking a break while enjoying the window view :) read more

Madcap Coffee was such a cute and tasty stop! I loved everything about the space--from the charming exterior to the huge, thriving pothos plants. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with local honey, and it was absolutely delicious. The photos really speak for themselves! While I do wish they offered more flavor options, their seasonal drinks seemed like a fun choice for those interested. Service was quick, and you could tell the team was totally in the zone--crafting drinks with care and topping them with beautiful foam art. read more

My mom and I visited this Madcap location on a wednesday morning and it was lovely! I wasn't too busy and we were able to find a table easily. The staff were friendly and efficient with our order. I got an iced mocha that was the perfect balance of chocolate and espresso. I loved all the plants that this location has as well, it really made the place feel homey! Great spot in Grand Rapids! read more

My friend and I walked here after lunch and we were very excited to be at the original Madcap. We have one in Detroit and it is definitely not as cozy as this one. (The green really adds to the intrigue too) We took a little trying to decide what to get, and the barista was so nice helping us decide. She was also telling us a little about the place and that was super cool! I ordered a hot vanilla latte (light vanilla) and my friend ordered their seasonal drink that had almond syrup in it, but neither of us could taste it. Overall, I liked this place more than the one in Detroit but still not my favorite coffee shop. Love the baristas tho!! read more

We stopped by after hearing this was the best coffee spot in Grand Rapids, and while we haven't explored all the options in town, I can confidently say this is a top tier coffee shop. Their cortados were flawless, good espresso flavor and great milk texture. We especially appreciated that they let you choose which espresso to use in your drink, which is a rare and a thoughtful touch. A great cortado is hard to come by, but they absolutely delivered here at Madcap! To make sure their good coffee extended beyond their cortado's we grabbed an iced vanilla latte to-go, and it also did not disappoint. It was just the right amount of flavor and not too sweet. read more

First of all the location is nice. Like the space, have enough seating to work or hang out with friends. Me and the boyfriend go to the location on Monroe downtown. The 2 young baristas were friendly and nice. I had the cappuccino and my boyfriend had the mocha. Both drinks came with latte art which we both love. The place wasn't too crowded, and lucky for us we found a seat. The next time we come back to GR we have to try the one on Fulton. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Madcap, and I love raving to my Michigan friends on how Madcap came to fruition in Grand Rapids. The baristas here are efficient but always create high-quality work. You can tell that they care about each cup of coffee they make. Their craft is also very impressive, as many of the baristas here are involved in various competitions around the country. My favorites on the menu are just a classic latte, an iced vanilla latte, and the matcha, too! Their seasonal drinks are always fun to try out as well, I always look forward to their spin on the classic "Pumpkin Spice Latte" in the Fall. read more

The service was excellent! The coffee shop is beautiful and is very open! They have a pretty large indoor seating section. The coffee was good. Note they only have Oat milk as a dairy alternative. They also do not have Carmel, hazelnut or the traditional kind of lattes. They do however have a Vanilla flavor and their seasonal ones. Our lattes were a little bit too cold for us when served but they tasted fine. We also ordered the spinach and feta croissant but they served it cold so the filling was very chunky. Overall the place is beautiful, the service is great but not having some dairy alternatives or a hot latte impacted the overall experience. read more

Made a pitstop into Mad Cap Coffee after hearing rave reviews. The shop is placed on a street corner for easy downtown access. Inside is a very open space to sit down and relax, enjoy a drink by the windows, or watch the baristas at work before carrying out. All drinks landed in the $4-$6 range which was a pleasant surprise; with this, most offerings only came in one size though. The menu offered classic coffee and tea options as well as a small food and seasonal section. It surprised me to find there wasn't as large of an offering of flavors unless that is understood to be off menu requests. My tea, house of jupiter, was delicious as well as my friend's nettie moore coffee. Tip: Service was extremely quick so if you see a long line, don't let that deter you from going! read more

This place was an absolute delight. I had brunch at little bird which is right across the street so I was able to pop over and enjoy a cup of tea after. The place itself it's super cute from the inside out. The employees were very friends, the service was great. And the menu is legit. On top of their coffee selection they offered a lovely tea list. I've never had cascara tea before but if you stop in to this place I would highly recommend it. Plus they offer both inside and outside seating so you can enjoy hanging out here regardless of the weather. read more

Madcap has always been my go to place for years. When I first started to get into coffee, Madcap was the first place I went to, and ever since then, I never stopped going. Their drinks aren't overly sweet, which l love. My go to is either their chai tea latte, cafe miel, or their vanilla latte with oat milk! They have a multitude of teas that you can choose from as well which are also just as delicious (it comes in a cute glass teapot)! They've also added matcha to their menu several months ago which is great for all the matcha lover's out there, including myself. If you want a little treat to go with your coffee, they offer products from field and fire as well as their own granola (which is delicious by itself or with milk) and cookies. I definitely recommend stopping by Madcap. If you go during the weekend, go early! Parking and their pastries go quickly on the weekends. read more

When in Grand Rapids, visit Madcap Coffee. Started in 2008, the owners travel the world every year tasting 3,000+ coffees and roasting the very best from Michigan. They then sell their beans all across the country. Coffee enthusiasts will recognize their beans sold in the best coffee shops in the USA. This location is their OG space in downtown Grand Rapids. Park on the street or splurge by parking in one of the many nearby parking garages. The space is spacious and well-designed. Tables, outlets and free wifi, it's an excellent space to work from if you can beat the crowds. The coffee is excellent if you know coffee. If you don't, it's a little more acidic than other coffees, but still good. Not loving more acidic coffee, I order the latte miel, brewed with honey. It's not too sweet and highlights the quality of the beans. It's pricey, but worth it for quality. read more

I've been excited to visit Madcaps flagship since first finding out I had to come to Grand Rapids. To be honest I've had to stop drinking espresso since the pandemic. It seems that when folks came back to work, they cared a little less about the craft and science behind pulling a delicious shot. Not the case here. Perfectly balanced, just the right temperature, the glass allowed for a nose full of rich smells and they present with soda water (a lost art some places). The baristas were a great balance of hip while maintaining a Midwest niceness. Bonus points for pulling a great shot at noon after the rain let up. Lots of folks will dial in the machine in the morning and leave it be. Pure professionals. 110/100 would recommend. read more

Stopped my Madcap during the ArtWalk (for which its location is absolutely perfect for people-watching). We'd 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. read more

One of the better roasters in Michigan, so I was excited to try the nitro cold brew on tap here when I was in town! My friend and I are cold brew enthusiast so we were eager to take a sip. We both found the cold brew extremely smooth which is great. He loved the tasting notes a lot more than I did as I found it a bit acidic. Overall, great cup of coffee but it is $5 for 12 oz which is kinda expensive. read more

Came here Sunday morning after breakfast. There was a small line but we were able to order pretty fast. The cashier was friendly and explained the menu per our taste. The ambiance was quiet as it looked like there was a younger crowd hanging out at the coffee shop which was nice to see. People came in and out but we decided to sit down and enjoy our drinks. I ordered the arbor bainudan tea which was steeped and very light. My fiance ordered the miel coffee and it came with a little coffee art. He asked about this specifically and was so excited. We both enjoyed our drinks. There were some pastries but we didn't order any since we just had breakfast but I overheard that they don't have anyway to warm the pastries up. This would be a good feature to add a microwave for those who like their pastries warm. read more
