History

Established in 2007.

Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters, home of The Saturday Experience, is located at the corner of Hall & Godfrey in a 100+ year old building that once housed Johnson Furniture Company. We are a micro-​roaster who strives to produce both a great cup of coffee and an entertaining field trip to customers who visit our roastery. Saturday is the day that we are open to the public and encourage anyone who enjoys fresh roasted coffee to visit us for free brewed coffee & espresso samples as well as a demonstration of the coffee roasting process. Customers may purchase custom roasted, while-​they-​wait coffee in 2 lb or more increments, or prepackaged coffee in 12 oz foil bags. In addition, we sell a wide variety of premium loose lea tea & accessories, green coffee beans, locally made coffee mugs, hand-​made goat milk soaps & soy candles, coffee bean jewelry, artisan granola, Michigan honey, chocolate candy & green tea leaf mints. We are open every Saturday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm (excluding holidays).

Business Owner

Craig has lived in Grand Rapids his entire life and has enjoyed drinking coffee since the age of five. In early adulthood, he dropped the cream & sugar and now only drinks his coffee black, all day long — every day! To say that he is a coffee geek would be an understatement. Check out the Saturday Experience and visit the roastery to see for yourself, his passion for coffee & the roasting process.

Best coffee in town — well worth the 5 – 6 flights of stairs! The smell just entices me to keep climbing!

My wife and I love coming here! We come every 2 or 3 weeks and get 2lbs of coffee hot and freshly roasted every time.
I’m not sure why there are 2 dollar signs for the price. I’ve never found a better price for fresh roasted coffee *anywhere*. They have the most competitive prices I’ve ever seen. And once you’ve tasted fresh roasted coffee there’s no going back to the other stuff. Until writing this review I had forgotten that there even was other stuff.
Also, you can bring in one of your old charbucks or other competitive mugs and trade it in for a classic shaped GRCR mug.
The roastmaster Craig is definitely a plus for this place too. He’s a very hospitable host and makes you feel very welcome. And he teaches at length about anything coffee related you could ever want to know.
The Saturday Experience is a really fun and enjoyable time where you can wait for your coffee to roast while sipping some free samples of coffee and enjoying conversation with your roaster and other visitors to the shop.
Highly recommend this place to anybody!

Touring with GVSU’s Hospitality and Tourism class! What a wonderful and enlightening experience, learning how coffee is prepared and the journey it travels to arrive in your mug!

I actually found this coffee roaster about two and a half years ago. My love of coffee was forever changed. I used to be one of those people who thought they were coffee snobs while getting whole bean coffee from the bulk bins at Meijer (I chuckle now as I write this). The Saturday Experience is excellent, and I learned so much about how coffee is grown, harvested, dried, roasted, and the different flavors. It truly is a field trip. Craig is a great teacher and is truly passionate about what he does. It shows in the quality of his coffee. It is incredibly smooth, full of flavor, and the customer service is incredible. Come to the shop, meet Craig, drink some of the best coffee around, and you will walk away with a new friend, some knowledge, and coffee to share with your friends and family (if you are willing to share!), and you will easily be able to convert others to REAL coffee.
My first purchase was the El Salvador Direct Partnership, and is a great Vienna (smooth bold) roast. I also strongly recommend the Kenya AA, another incredible and flavorful fresh roasted coffee. I could go on and on about all of the different coffees from various regions he has, but you truly can’t go wrong with any of his coffees, and you will have to try for yourself!

Just finished a 6 state Great Lakes region road trip with 2 of my elementary friends. It was nothing but top notch beer, food and coffee. GR Coffee Roasters was one of the true gems of the trip. They are only open to the public on Saturdays until 3 PM, and they are located on the 5th floor of an industrial building which is very, very cool in and of itself. Craig the owner is awesome! He gives you all the time in the world to explain the roasting process all the while you are drinking samples of their coffees from totally random mugs that have been donated by past customers. We ended up buying 2 lbs. of Ethiopian Harrar coffee and stood next to Craig and his roaster like little kids. Our trip ended back in Ohio on Sunday evening, but for the remainder of the drive, our van was filled with the wonderful aroma of freshly roasted coffee, and as I type, I am enjoying my first cup, a remarkable cup I might add.

This place is incredible. Do you want to know about coffee? Do you want to know what makes «good coffee» good and «bad coffee» bad? Do you want to see coffee roasted right in front of you? Go see Craig at Grand Rapids Coffee Roasters.
I had no idea I could love coffee this much. I’ve been drinking this Costa Rican blend for two weeks now and it is the best coffee I’ve ever had. Now I can never go back to those freeze dried Keurig pods. There is no bitter, burnt taste. I don’t have to add tons of milk and sugar. The coffee here has a lower acidity so it is much easier on your system. No more sacrificing the body to get that daily dose of caffeine.
Saturdays people just come and hang out and try all of the amazing coffees and maybe have a donut or two. (Free donuts from Marge’s Donut Den? Shut the front door, Craig.) I also tried some amazing blueberry iced tea.
Prepare to be overwhelmed by hospitality and free samples, oh, and amazing coffee of course.
They are open Saturday from 10AM-​3PM or you can call to schedule a coffee pick-​up.
