It's a certified B corp which means all their ingredients are sustainably and ethically sourced! That's a big plus! The place is so nicely designed with so many places to sit. Big beautiful windows let in lots of sun and natural light. I love sitting outside in the summer taking in the energy of downtown. You can tell this place really puts a lot of effort into caring and supporting their local community! This is the ideal local coffee shop. Although I've never been, they also have a location in downtown Muskegon!

I rode my bike to get my wife a coffee to bring back to the camp ground. I ordered an iced…read moreamericano and found out they don't have any sweetener other than sugar. No sugar free sweetener of any kind. They filled the water all the way to the top so I had to drink some of it to get the lid on and they only have the wide mouth drink lids. No straws. I asked for a larger cup because I had to carry it on my bike. They don't have any. Just small cups. I get it if the owner doesn't like sugar free sweetener. But making that decision for the customer is very pretentious.

Every 15-20 minutes we would see another Biggby while driving around the state. They're coffee isn't life changing (neither is starbucks) but it isn't bad and worth trying if you're out this way. I appreciated their list of house recipes and drink offerings. Service was quick and convenient and everything you're after when you need that caffeine pick me up. They also run different promos regularly. We stopped in on a Wednesday and scored but 1 get 1 free drinks! Note that their sizing is different than Starbucks or Peet's. A large is LARGE (24oz) and their medium is a 20 oz beverage. A small here is similar to a Starbucks medium (16oz) so with that, they are also a pretty good deal. Worth the stop!

I…read moredon't get to Allendale very often (maybe twice a year) so when I was heading to Grand Valley's campus for an event recently, I made sure to allow extra time to stop by. The parking lot in front is pretty small, and there is only one access point, so if you go past it, you'll have to turn around near the apartments behind it. Don't drive on the sidewalk... I didn't, mostly because there is a sign that says, "This is a sidewalk" which made me laugh. (Truly that should be an entrance into the parking lot!) The space is very bright and airy with cute decor and space to get some work or studying done. I was greeted right away when I walked in and I had a tough time deciding what to order. I wasn't hungry, but I love that they have a full on food menu - including salads, burgers(!!!), bagels, toasts, paninis, pastries, etc. Plus all the regular coffee items, boba, smoothies, and teas. I went with one of the seasonal specials, the banana bread matcha. It didn't take too long to come out and it was very tasty - not really what I was expecting, but I liked it. It reminded me of a very green banana (which is how I prefer bananas), it wasn't super sweet but also not super matcha-y. They are expanding their space, so I am interested in coming back to see what that looks like and to order more delicious drinks and try the food!

I'll definitely return when I'm back in town, and I recommend that you stop by.

Rainforest Blend: The Magnum Coffee Roastery is family owned and was founded by owner "The Big…read moreBean". The Big Bean developed a love for coffee during late night study sessions while in college. I totally relate as college was when I acquired a taste for the drink (except it was before early morning lab). Anyways, this eventually led to him pursuing a master's thesis on the emerging specialty coffee industry. All this was over twenty-five years ago and since then his company has become one of the leading private label coffee suppliers in the country. I've never heard of the company, but I spotted the Rainforest Blend on sale at my local Meijer and decided to give it a chance. The metallic purple packaging and tropical theme were what initially drew me in. I thought the grounds had a fantastic aroma, but the brewed coffee was overall somewhat bland. Who knows, maybe I just got a bad bag? I'll be sticking to my regular brands though as the Rainforest Blend was just okay.

They source their own beans, and make their own baked goods in house. I'll often order their drip cause it's so good, but I also love their pour over, the Nutty Irishman, or just a plain Cortado.
