Signage Is Up: New Downtown Grand Rapids Wildroast Coffee Shop One Step Closer
If you spend any time walking around downtown Grand Rapids or grabbing lunch along Monroe Center, you might have noticed a recent new addition. A new coffee shop is on the way.

Wildroast Coffee Opening Soon Downtown Grand Rapids
Fresh exterior signage is officially up at 61 Monroe Center St. NW, which means Wildroast Coffee Co. is getting close to opening its doors.
Back in March, we shared the news that the Grandville-based roaster was planning to expand into Grand Rapids with two new locations. The first one landed on the Westrt Side at 637 Stocking Ave. NW back in May (complete with a free drink day that drew a massive crowd).
Now, all eyes are on the downtown spot.

Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. shared a photo of the new sign on social media this week, signaling that progress inside is moving along. The coffee shop is taking over the historic storefront previously occupied by Elegance Wigs, which served local customers for over 50 years before closing up shop.
What's on the Menu at Wildroast Coffee Co.
As someone who works downtown and is always hunting for good caffeinated options near the office, I'll have to check this out.

They roast their own beans and do fun specialty lattes with house-made syrups, plus cold brew, matcha, and teas. If you need a bite to eat, they also carry sandwiches, wraps, and a ton of baked stuff like cookies, muffins, and croissants.
When Will Wildroast Coffee Open?
While an official grand opening date for the Monroe Center café hasn't been posted yet, getting the sign up on the building usually means the wait is almost over.
