The 26 Best Things Made in Michigan’s Cities | Eater

"Leading the charge on high-end caffeinated beverages in Grand Rapids, Madcap opened in 2008 and has continuously impressed aficionados with its freshly roasted seasonal coffee beans named for its farmers, its obsession with the science of coffee brewing, and its fastidious commitment to quality and staff training (baristas have to earn their spot at the espresso machine). Madcap’s seasonal drink offerings look more like cocktails than your typical pumpkin spice latte. Recent autumn drinks included Hot for Teacher (espresso, cayenne, and apple cider) and Peck’s Drug Store (nitro cold coffee, cranberry, lime, tarragon, and cacao juice). They now have three cafes in Grand Rapids and one in Detroit." - Vox Creative

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. My mom got a chocolate chip cookie that she really enjoyed. I loved all the plants that this location has as well, it really made the place feel homey! Great spot in Grand Rapids!

Every morning while visiting Grand Rapids, I start my day with your coffee. The staff here are always friendly and knowledgeable. I truly enjoy the thoughtful conversations — about everything and nothing — that make this place special. Thank you for keeping local business strong!

Ahh what a fantastic shop. Glad I finally made it here. Good beans. Good coffee. They know what they're doing. Great layout and theme.

Really great pour over. Very good sparkling water(not even a joke). Solid choice for speciality coffee if you're in the area!

Hands down, the best cup of coffee I had in Grand Rapids. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town.

I was visiting Grand Rapids today while my daughter had a closed athletic event a few blocks away. I always try to find a smaller cafe’ ☕️ anytime I’m out and about. After driving around a bit, I decided to go park at a garage and walk over to Madcap. I went in about 3:15 and promptly ordered letting them know I promise I wouldn’t linger as I saw they closed at 4pm .The gentleman Sam assured me it was not a problem. We talked a bit about the coffee blends but then I decided on a mocha latte’ with oat milk and it was delicious! Sam was patient and kind while I made my selection. The atmosphere was nice and chill but seating fills up quick! While waiting for my coffee I started chatting with another barista, Riley.She had very cool glasses.They got a huge rush of about 20 people who walked in about 30 min before closing and before I knew it everyone was served and gone. They moved quickly and efficiently! I will be back in GR in June and hope to return to try an iced coffee this summer ☺️

I think I’ve found my favorite coffee shop! I’m in from out of town staying around the corner. Searched for a local coffee shop and found Madcap. Loved everything about this shop! The person at the counter took the time to converse which I always appreciate. There is some limited outside seating which was nice. Plenty of inside table and counter seating. A great place to sit with family/friends to converse, or to sit and get some work done. Open and comfortable space with a minimalist approach to decor. Let’s the coffee equipment shine! Also, take the time to look at the decor remnants at the top of the back/brick wall. Beautiful! Oh, and the latte was terrific!! They roast their beans locally!! Pastry assortment was not huge, but tasted great and displayed well.

I love a good coffee shop and Madcap was super cool! I went right at 8am and there were already people lined up for them to open. Unfortunately, I’m not really a coffee or tea person, so, I mainly go to coffee shops for the vibes and food. I ordered an Apple Cinnamon muffin and it was really good! Super fresh and very tasty. Awesome experience!
