Boast The Local Roast

Since opening our doors in 2007, Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters has proudly called Grand Rapids, Michigan our home. We are an independent wholesale micro-roaster committed to providing the freshest locally roasted coffee in West Michigan. All of our coffees are carefully hand-roasted in small batches for a smooth, never bitter, well-balanced cup like no other. Over 30+ local businesses and hundreds of retail customers entrust in us to provide their custom roast-to-order coffee needs and we gladly deliver (quite literally, we offer next day delivery options for our wholesale customers and try to squeeze in frantic retail orders if possible).  During the weekdays, we are hard at work roasting coffee for our wholesale accounts, tasting different coffees, and making deliveries. But on Saturdays, we open our shop to the public for a unique coffee educational experience called The Saturday Experience. Come see what all the boasting is about with the freshest local roast in town!

Trade Up To Better Tasting Coffee With Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters!

With our unique coffee mug trade-in program, you can trade up to better tasting coffee! Bring in any competitor’s ceramic coffee mug and we’ll replace it with one of our colorful logo mugs featuring “Perky” the coffee bean. Your old mug will be hung upside down on display in the shop’s rafters on the “Coffee Mug Wall of Shame” alongside dozens of others. Only one trade-in coffee mug per customer please – while supplies last and/or until we run out of space!

The Saturday Experience

We hope to see you soon!

Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters’ Saturday Experience began as a way to give friends and family members an opportunity to sample our coffee while we received feedback to improve our roasting and blending skills.

As we perfected the process, and more & more people came into our shop to see what we were doing, we decided to launch The Saturday Experience. Now we are open each Saturday to the public from 10:00am to 3:00pm excluding holidays and special events.
