Jamnbean is one of my favorite Grand Rapids area coffee shops. This location is downtown and has wonderful beverages. Their Chain latte is spot on. They also have a little window pick up area. Parking can be difficult to find but if you work nearby, I recommend grabbing coffee from here.
When I first stumbled upon this place, it was at the Cascade location. I was unimpressed by the service, but I was incredibly impressed by the coffee. Since then, I have noticed a change in the atmosphere. The owner seems to be hiring more friendly baristas, and responding to the complaints about less friendly staff. The owner himself comes across as a bit standoffish at first, but if you can talk to him about his coffee, you realize his passion is for the roasting and bean quality. It shows. The coffee is second to none. I purchase bags of whole bean coffee here on a fairly regular basis. As a bonus, you get a free cup of a coffee with the purchase of a bag of coffee.
Jam'n Bean is small and pretty expensive but they have wonderful coffee that they put effort into and it is in a great location downtown
