West Michigan Coffee Shops Curated by Jacob Gonzales

A curated list of my favorite coffee shops, the ordering of this list has no specific meaning. Each coffee shop has it's own environment, values, & experience. The listed coffee shops are just specific places, I've found myself to be the most productive at and have had the best experience with the community.

Aldea Coffee

Aldea Mission Statement

"Together, through all we craft, we emphasize quality and value in every interaction. We believe the Earth to be an inspiring place, and we empower each other to explore, enjoy, and preserve it." ~ Source

Jacob's Take on Aldea

Aldea has some of the best tasting coffee, I've personally tried in West Michigan. Their coffee art ain't half bad either. My one concern with Aldea is seating especially during busy weekends. I haven't had a issue with seating on a weekday, though there have been weekends where sitting isn't possible.

317 Coffee

317 Purpose Statement

"317 Coffee exists to love God and love people through coffee & service. We are based on the mission of Ephesians 3:17 and seek to be "rooted and grounded in love"." ~ Source

Jacob's Take on 317

317 has been the most constant coffee shop, I've been too. When I show up at 317, I know there is going to be seating, well rounded individuals, and great coffee. Of course as any coffee shop there have been seasons where the coffee has changed in consistency with new staff but the owners are passionate about their business. They are actively involved throughout the shop.
