Midwest Coffee Vibes

This is where I learned that there was a "Third Coast". I guess Michiganians say that their coast is considered the third coast because of the size of their massive lake. I rode down to this shop and was excited because it's one of the big names I hear thrown around and for some reason, their bags of beans are always particularly expensive. Some say they are worth their weight in gold. I got in and the shop was spacious. Set up well and the barista bar was kind of elevated but as I took it all in, I was pretty overwhelmed with my options and I didn't know where to start. It all looked so good. Tried a Cortado with their Third Coast Espresso and coffee/milk ratio was near perfect. In my opinion, Madcap is doing it right. With awards displayed and how buttoned up everything was, I couldnt deny this stuff. They were putting 110% into it and doing that in Grand Rapids of all places, I have to give them big props. Speaking of props, Madcap also gets my "Best Coffee Shop Bathroom" award. Second only to Lamplighter in Richmond, VA. The colors were crazy and walking in was a pleasant surprise. Merch...they had an impressive merch section with all sorts of gear. I went with one of their tee's to add to the collection. It is a 50/25/25 blend T-shirt by American Apparel. Extremely comfortable. Overall, all I can say is that Madcap's quality is above par. I will be back!
