The last time I came here was pre pandemic and they were great. Post pandemic, they are amazing!!! Friendly experience with delicious coffee! I buy something every time I come after a free sample. I learn something too! Top tier place to visit on Saturday and a staple in experiencing coffee in Grand Rapids!

We love the Saturday experience! Their new location is cozy and laid back, and the owners are so friendly and knowledgable. A must-see, off the beaten path coffee shop where they truly care about the craft. Check them out at the farmers market too!

I've been buying my coffee from Craig and the team at Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters for several years. The Sumatra is bold and amazing, dark and delicious. I won't get my coffee from anyplace else!The Saturday experience allows you to come and sample and couple of great coffee's in a warm and inviting space. Definitely one of my favorite places.

Went for the first time during their 15 year anniversary and could’ve not asked for a better Saturday morning experience.

I'm very happy with the coffee I purchased from the Roastery Store and can’t say enough good things about my customer service experience. GRCR was recommended to me by a barista friend for its delicious coffee and amazing staff—and I found exactly that. I mostly make pretty basic drip-coffee for myself (and the occasional weekend French press), but they were so friendly and knowledgeable that I ended up chatting and asking questions with them for almost half an hour about everything from the differences in beans from different regions, to what to expect from certain roasts, and when and whether brew method matters. The bright and inviting space was a pleasure to be in, and the wonderful people made it even harder to leave.I came away from that conversation with a better understanding of what I like and want to try in coffee than I have from a lifetime of drinking it. I made a pot of their new-to-me coffee when I went home; it was delicious, and just as they had described (Yirgacheffe, brisk, sweet, complex fruit and floral acidity, great body). Learning the details from them helped me notice those aspects of the coffee so I could appreciate them, and it made the delicious coffee into an even more fun an interesting experience. I can't wait to return, and I'm looking forward to when they can reopen the Experience part of the shop.

Have been purchasing coffee at Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters for about ten years. Was initially attracted by the local start-up small business but continued to buy coffee beans here because the coffee tasted so much better than store bought. Craig and his staff have always been welcoming and very helpful. I have received an education in coffee beans and roasting. We are moving out of the area and I asked Craig about shipping coffee beans. His reply was that he thanked me for my past business but he is an advocate of buying local and suggested I find a roaster in our new area. Honest and classy response!
