That being said, it is the cutest shop. It felt modern but cozy and not pretentious. A great spot to sit and sip some coffee with friends or clients. I wanted to get a real taste of the roastery and purchased the standard coffee with nothing in it! What a change for me, but totally worth it. The coffee was great. I even had the hubby try it (a normal person that uses milk in his coffee, ugh) and he said that he could drink it with nothing! WHAT! Yep, that is huge.

It's tucked inside an older industrial-style building and shares space with a couple of antique-type shops, so it's not somewhere you'd likely just stumble upon. The coffee was great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. My wife ordered an iced "Reese in a Cup" and loved it. I went with a hot Cuban Kiss--a mix of cinnamon, vanilla, and white chocolate. It was good, but I'd probably try something different next time. Pricing was very reasonable compared to a lot of coffee spots these days. We also split a cinnamon roll that tasted homemade and was delicious. Overall, a great hidden gem and worth the stop.

I ground the fresh beans and placed them in my French press, anticipating the moment when I would steep the brew and be able to pour it in my favorite mug.

The full body flavor of the beans originating from Costa Rica is a much more exhilarating experience than your typical cup of store bought coffee. If you have the opportunity to experience Yaggy Road Coffee, I would definitely recommend that you take it.

My family and I ordered 4 drinks, and was waiting by the counter observing each order to come out. We were excited to get our drink to begin our family day. We have checked in once for our drink and we were told that the drink was taken by other customers and they will re-make our drinks, which is fine, as I completely understand with the busy morning hour. We kept waiting for another 10 minutes and they haven't even start our drinks. We left and asked for refund and grabbed coffee somewhere else.

It was so interesting to see the small coffee farms they visited, learn about the different ways to process the coffee, and discover more about this coffee region, as well as trying some just roasted coffee from the area. Our small group even learned how to do a coffee cupping for tasting different roasts/beans. If you ever have a chance to attend a class or presentation at the roaster, JUMP ON IT! This was one of the best things I've done in Kalamazoo. Thank you so much, Seth and Water Street Coffee Roasters, for bringing this process of bean to bag alive and personal. I fully support your efforts, coffee, and business even MORE SO now!

Now parking.. not sure where I should park, but maybe it's behind the shop or possibly it's best to park on the street by the houses, who's to say lol. So after I figured out parking, my first experience was great. Service was nice. They didn't take too long and the pastries, coffee and sandwiches were so good I had to come back before my flight. But the second time, the service was sooooooooooo slow. They didn't care at all to help me and finally after making one drink I had to ask for the rest of my order to be made. Not to mention one of the baristas left to give someone a drink in the back and didn't come back for at least 5-10 mins - I don't know where this mystery person was but the sure must have been important because the barista knew damn well there was a line of people waiting to be served but apparently didn't give a damn. It felt very purposeful and quite frankly rude but I cant speak on their intentions. Great food. Great drinks. Good atmosphere. I had to take give 3 stars tho for service. Sadly that sucked.
