Easily my new favorite place in the world for coffee. I will be coming here daily until I go home and will make a point to come every time I visit Detroit.Coffee is amazing, staff is friendly and the area is fun.

Cute and modern coffee spot. I had a chai latte and it was very well made. Lots of cute seating outdoors. Friendly staff.

Absolute must visit in Detroit.Vibe check: If Steve Jobs had established a coffee shop, this is the spot. Very clean and meticulous high end design. Nice patio. Fashionista/o Baristas.Brew: elite. Unique flavor and bean selections. Perfectly brewed by a professional grade staff.Requests: please open in Chicago so I can visit you more often 😆

Best cappuccino, reasonably priced with charming service. Quaint chic nestled in the eclectic quarters (1413 Farmer St, Detroit, MI 48226) of off the beaten path. Gotta venture out of common to embrace the opportunities of change. Treat yourself, give them a visit.

Superb coffee in a sleek minimalist setting by one of Detroit’s cute brick alleys.

The Grand Rapids transplant is a must if you like good espresso or a well made cup of coffee. This location has both an outdoor ordering window with outdoor seating as well as indoor. Sometimes there is live music in the alley and you are surrounded by stores and restaurants/bars in the hippest part of downtown.

My first experience was great! The line moved quickly and my coffee took about 5 minutes. I got the coco cabón and it was sooo good. Not too sweet and I loved the Black Sea salt on top

Espresso was so perfect. I’m not keen on buying coffee from shops due to the prices, but I truly feel that it’s worth it at Madcap. They know what they’re doing.Try the Cortado with oat milk & honey. ✨

Gotta give them props for introducing me to something brand new. 😃 I ordered a Its Always Sunny in Detroit which is all the things: coffee, mango lassi, and milk. Honestly, they had me at Inspired by a popular Indian drink. I ✨inhaled✨ that drink. I did get the chance to taste and savor the cardamom though, so it wasnt all for naught. It goes without saying that its in one of the coolest areas in the city, surrounded by beautiful murals. Next time I go, Ill be sure to slow down and have a snack or two as well.

Had an amazing espresso pull courtesy of Evan. Evan is the man!

Coffee was really good, I got an iced coffee which was brewed over ice. Staff were nice but would be good if they were quicker to take orders and then chat with everyone after!

Staff is very chatty but the coffee is good. Interesting seasonal menu to look out for too.

Outstanding coffee with relaxing outdoor seating and friendly staff near Shinola Hotel and Tigers ballpark in downtown Detroit. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed.

Clean and quick. Good tea selection on top of all the coffee choices . Not a huge menu but enough for most

Ordered a cortado. Twas a thing of full-bodied beauty. Also, the staff was very fast, efficient and kind. To be a hipster dive, they are not snooty. Love it!

Amazing coffee! Always worth a stop at madcap :)

Was a tasty cup of coffee, felt very trendy but I would definitely go again!

One of my favorite coffee shops in the country. The shop itself is located in a really cool little alley. But what differentiates Madcap is their coffee! I live in Los Angeles and can’t get enough of it. So when I’m not able to make it to Detroit, I’ve been ordering their coffee and getting it shipped to California. Looking forward to making my way back to Detroit to be able to visit in person!Love that they actually know how to make a cortado.

5-star coffee; I would add another star if I could! I appreciate that this shop has a subtle sign asking folks to mask up if unvaccinated! Great vibe, lovely staff.

Gorgeous shop, friendly baristas and amazing naturally processed Ethiopian. Best shot I’ve had in Detroit.

There are very few seats, really its a stool bolted to the floor. Im 5 feet even and my feet were about 4 inches from the floor. It was cool to finish my drink, but not a long term place. Everything else is stand up with the purse hooks underneath. Nice lighting with minimalistic decor and fun music. The cafe mocha was GREAT! Very chocolatey with real chocolate! Tried medium roast with room and added oatmilk, there are no other milk alternatives. Oat milk is somewhat creamy, in the coffee itself it was good. I had the seasonal coffee with Strawberry notes and enjoyed it, pic with the spoon below. Went back the next day and ordered the Marshmallow tea and LOVED it. Smooth and very flavorful. Definitely returning.

Great shop with tasty coffee and food. Nice little shop inside as well. Sat outside for some great vibes on Saturday morning with live music too 🎶

Such a quaint coffee shop.

Great coffee shop in Detroit! Their espresso drinks are above average, and the location is also great. Recommended!

I love hockey so I got the Gourdie Howe, (butternut squash),very good.

What a treat! Finally had the chance to grab a coffee from this local spot. Enjoyed the Kanzu brew and took some time to hang out inside. Friendly and minimalist - great place to meet a friend or colleague for coffee

This is one of favorite coffee spots in downtown Detroit! They have seasonal menu as well. Worth giving it a try and falling in love!!

The coffee was amazing. Everyone in our party loved it, from new coffee drinkers to coffee enthusiasts.

Modern minimalist design. Great space to meet up with friends and go out into the city. I enjoy the coffee brewing methods, with nitro cold brew, pour over, and espresso based drinks, the baristas are well trained and the wait is minimal. Product can be a little more expensive, which is to be expected. Yet it is pretty average pricing for a good coffee shop. Nice mural on the street provides photo opportunities!

Grabbed coffee here. In a near spot and they have coffee and tea options. They also made a hot chocolate for my child. Very friendly staff. Clean shop and standing tables and seats to spend sometime there.

Great latte

So good ❤❤ & cute cafe for a quick coffee stop on the go

5 star Coffee.. 1 star ding for having a sign asking the non-vaccinated to mask up. 😷 um, no. Companies are stepping outside of the contexts that they serve. Make me coffee, do not ask me to do things that are not in your authority to police, your ability to identify, or your place to even suggest. Make coffee, collect money, repeat. Its funny anyone thinks those who wish to not take the experimental rNa treatment would identify themselves by wearing a mask.. The people who dont Vax, dont fear the virus, and typically never masked.. heeellllloooo.. But the coffee was amazing.

Its always great. Wonderful location

Mad Cap is my new standard of excellence in coffee and customer service. This crew and shop kill it every time I come into town and I am grateful for that. The coffee is always spectacular and the baristas are super knowledgeable and practiced in the art of making craft coffee drinks. Mad Cap is the best coffee shop in the Midwest potentially even East of the Mississippi!

Great coffee and a nice spot !

Coffee was great, the only reason I didnt give them a 5 star is because they only serve a small cup of coffee, didnt have a pastry, but they look amazing

This was a fantastic coffee shop vibe! There isnt a lot of seating available though.The one downside is that the only dairy free milk they had was oats. Although, it says gluten free label on the menu all oats need to be certified gluten free to be suitable for those with celiac disease. Another improvement they could have is with their pastries.I loved trying the different coffee flights. It was delicious.

Excellent coffee and open early on the weekend.

Great saturated Ethiopian Cortado!

Love their coffee, every time I had an excuse to go to Grand Rapids I would visit them there. This branch in Detroit offers the same quality of coffee, too bad we cant step inside to check the overall atmosphere, but besides that, what a coffee!

A unique little coffee spot with a very modern decor. There are nice stand up tables inside with a bar along one of the windows. The barista station is against a wall that opens outside providing a walk up bar outside the coffee shop so you can easily do and user regardless if whether inside or outside.The coffee was delicious and well prepared and the barista was friendly an assistful in the ordering process. Id definitely recommend it as one of the better coffee stops in down town Detroit.

Its barely average coffee at an above average price...if youre going to ask $21 a bag it better be perfect.

Madcap is a very high-end coffee company that delivers some of the best coffee drinks I have experienced. The atmosphere is very clean and simple. They definitely make a coffee you won’t forget.

Fast Friendly Service..COFFEE IS DELICIOUS

So stoked that GRs Madcap has expanded to the Detroit area. This location is located next to the Shinola hotel and worth the visit. Plenty of top-shelf coffee and tea options, along with Kalita gear and community bar seating. Once it gets warmer, the giant glass windows will open up so folks can order right at the counter for grab-n-go beverages. Plenty of nearby street parking and shops to check out!

Best cappuccinos Ive had in a long time!

I really like it. I’ve been buying madcap coffee for some time and it’s nice that there’s a coffee shop in Detroit now. They have a great selection of coffees and specialty drinks. I got an oat milk cappuccino, which is refreshing because oat milk usually isn’t on list for most places. It was really well made.I do have to note I had to ask again to get an oat milk cappuccino, the first one they made was whole milk, even though the order was for oat milk. The staff was very friendly and understanding and remade it immediately. They let my fiancée keep the mistakenly made one.I really like the place, would recommend it to anyone. The coffee is great and it’s a super simple place inside that’s focused on plain good coffee.

Good coffee. Great outdoor ordering and pickup set up.

Nice little coffee shop in the alley behind the Shinola Hotel. Pricing is about what you’d expect at a coffee shop and the service was fast and friendly. There are a few rows of counter tops to sit at as well.

I popped over to MadCap for an iced chai latte while staying at the Shinola Hotel. The staff and the latte were excellent and I loved the ease of ordering from the walk-up window.

Great experience and excellent service

Best espresso and cortados ever. Would like to see some savory pastries.

Their Miel (Honey and cinnamon latte) is amazing along with their iced lattes, they also have very friendly staff.

Dont recommend online order. I arrived there 15 minutes early and they said just give me two minutes but I can get my coffee 5 minutes late on my exact order time. Everyone who arrive there after me just order and quickly received their coffees faster than me. But one of the female staff was kind. I ordered latte, chai latte, hot chocolate& coffee flight. All of them tasted far from my taste. Never want to visit again.

Great coffee... Dope setup

Some of the best coffee in the US. Im from So Cal and this is fire

Great coffee. Always friendly staff. A bit pricey but worth it for the service and the quality.

So happy Madcap has finally come to Detroit! Love their coffee, atmosphere, and specialty drinks. Hopefully theyll bring over their waffles too? 😊

Vanilla latte with oat milk is very good! Not too sweet and perfectly creamy, Highly recommend!

Excellent hot and cold coffee and tea drinks in an open white, industrial space. Hip Hop music in the background. Next to Shinola Hotel. Offered baked goods from Ochre Bakery.

Awesome spot to grab a local drip cup of coffee😍

Great service.

Cool place, good Chai tea!

The coffee is always on point. You can get the coffee of the day for $3.50 and they always taste great. I usually put one cream 1 sugar but this blends are good to drink black in my opinion.

Great service, great location and the hot chocolate was amazing!

I wouldnt have guessed that the best coffee is be served driving across the country would be in Detroit, but theres definitely a growing coffee culture in the city and Madcap is one of the rosters at its forefront. The flat white I ordered was no nonsense creamy goodness. Definitely will come back to sample their other brews when I return for a more thorough exploration of this under-rated city!

The cafe miel is on point!!

They provide a limited selection of coffees and coffee drinks, and by limiting that selection you always get a fantastic beverage every time. I especially love that their coffee is pour over and made by people who are clearly passionate about making a great cup of coffee. The prices are very reasonable as well!

Great coffee and they sell coffee equipment as well

Great place! Staff makes you feel welcome. The young lady gave me information about the blends. I asked her to make a recommendation for me. Her choice was right on the money. She asked me if I ever drink my coffee black. She informed me some blends are naturally sweet black. Hope shes there next time I go. So she can recommend the blend for me.

Have gone a few times now and had the Summer Solstice espresso, iced coffee, coffee flight, and latte. All were excellent and fantastically prepared. Customer service is great, all employees are very friendly. Theres a walk up counter if youd like to sit at a table out front. Theres also indoor seating for 4-5 along the wall with seats bolted to the floor and tables to stand at.

A true hidden gem! I came across this place by checking out the new hotel and the other retail spaces down the alley. Their espresso is so phenomenal that I would go the distance for it. I recommend the cafe miel with oat milk (hot or iced).

This is such a great, modern coffee shop that know what it is doing. I love the double counter design which allows it to serve simultaneously inside and out. It is very clean, and minimalist but not cold. It is very welcoming. They have a nearly daily rotating single origin option that is always something I look forward to trying. The people are great and are very knowledgeable. I personally get the cortado all the time and it always is made to perfection! Snacks look great and there is a good variety of goods you may purchase to bring home for your own mini coffee shops in your homes :p all are reasonably priced! This place is a must visit!

Another trendy coffee shop in downtown Detroit that only offers one size of a cold coffee beverage. For a coffee shop that doesn’t have comfortable long time seating and a small setting I would recommend that you broaden your horizons on iced beverages and larger to go sizes. The coffee itself was great quality and the back alley walk to enter off Woodward was very cool.

Im a huge fan of there GR location. Great to see them in Detroit... Even if it is temporary. The selection of coffee and espresso is amazing. The employees also are good with a recommendation and are very knowledgeable of their craft. Every time I go in they are super busy but the line moves fast. The seating area is pretty spectacular with a combination of high top tables and couches. Amazing.

Excellent cup of coffee and great atmosphere; recommended!

WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. The place and people make this place awesome- the fact that the coffee is some of the best in the world does not hurt either. Just go here....and dont add cream or sugar to your coffee- enjoy the beauty that makes these beans so perfect.

Nice cafe with good seating outdoors and indoors. Convenient location by Z Parking structure. They have some of the most unique coffee brews. Definitely worth checking out.

A world class coffee roaster! Their nitro cold brew is fantastic and I love being able to grab coffee in the summer without having to go inside their store (the glass wall behind the coffee bar opens up during the warmer months)

Customer service, relations are great and the products provided coffee,espresso, tea,are some of my favorite in the area.

SUPER AMAZING COFFEE!!! It was my first time at the location, and I asked for recommendations for my drink and a bag of coffee, & the staff were super knowledgeable. I’m so obsessed with the 616 blend!

Overpriced meh coffee

The coffee experience is sterile. Not a place to sit and relax. Espresso started off poor, but as it cooled it did brighten up and show some deeper flavors. Ended up being enjoyable. Obviously not the best Ive had in town. Should be a good place for coffee on the go and maybe thats the goal of this location. Wasnt for me.

Decent roasts, small food items and a stark white and black design. Standing tables with a few seats inside and out. Not the friendly coffee shop to get work done but good for a quick stop to fuel up on caffeine before going elsewhere to work.

Very cool design/aesthetic. Has a coffee flight that seem very fun! Coffee taste good but pricey.

Great great atmosphere. Great great customer service! Very welcoming environment! Highly recommended!

Delicious espresso. Got an oak milk cortado, oat milk for the win! It was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Had a very contemporary vibe. Only downside was so it was a little expensive but you can taste the craft and selection that goes into the espresso

Paid $4 for a comically small, bad pear muffin. I have heard good things about the coffee and the shop ambiance is nice, but the pastry selection is neither inspiring nor a good value

This place is amazing and the baristas that helped me were very informative. We had stopped here on a whim and seeing it on the street and are very happy that we did. It was our first time and the baristas were very kind and patient with us.I ordered the Galeras, which was amazing, and my girlfriend had an oat latte, which was great as well.Ordered a bag of the Corazon coffee beans from the girl baristas recommendation and I do really enjoy it.I came around 10:30AM on March 18, Wednesday, and whoever was working that day should get a raise.Also, please come to Chicago.

Good coffee

Great coffee, great people! Walk up service is very good! Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best coffee spot downtown. Service is phenomenal, coffee is amazing. Love these folks.

I was very impressed with this Michigan roaster and shop. Had a cappuccino and a nitro, and bought a bag of beans to go. A+

Ok..so in reality the Oatmeal milk...the best.

Simple. Good coffee. Tops of options to plug in. Standing room mostly.

Well prepared coffee in a beautiful, if a bit sterile, environment. Love the coffee flight idea.

Felt like a genius bar in the apple store. chai was so so but the staff was nice.

Would have given a 4 had the cherry springer been mixed so that the flavor was evenly dist2

Mapcap Coffee is run by dedicated Baristas who perform coffee and drink magic everyday to busy passersby in the newly revived downtown Detroit core. First class coffee, interesting choices and things to buy and take home with you. The outdoor tables and opening walls brings Mapcap to the street to create a very European streetscape.
