The Bitter End

Literally everything here is perfect. The atmosphere is amazing and the coffee is just as good. Hands down the best coffee shop I've ever been in!

It's the only 24 hour cafe in town that I'm aware of. Lots of students hang out here from the neighboring colleges making this a great place to study.

The Bitter End is my new favorite coffee spot !! Strong Espresso ! Love this Omelette Bagel and the St Louis style vocal jazz in the background!

Open 24 hours ! Best coffee we've found in Grand Rapids! Try the peppermint patty!

24 hour coffee joint. They even make a "bulletproof" coffee ! Nice hand roasted coffee selections as well .

Cozy atmosphere and the hot chocolate is real and made right in front of you. Love all the pictures and art .

12am on a Wednesday night and I just snagged the last available table. You gotta get lucky to find a seat here!

I love the baristas here. Every time that I've come they've been very outgoing and fun, just like a Batista should be ^_^

Wi-Fi password as of 8/29/13: 2hourlimit. It’s a reliable, usable connection about 80% of the time in my experience. Coffee is great.

I love the bitter end !!! They owners are amazing and the coffee and success of the business brings pride to the westside.

Tasty drinks, you can't really go wrong. The seats fill up fairly quickly.

Find a secret window inside ;o perfect place to hang out and great drinking flavors

Always look for the little stickers they have have different ones every time. Love them

Open 24 hours for students, beautifully designed, and the staff is so friendly :)

Great atmosphere for studying if you don't mind some background noise.

If you're really feeling adventurous, just ask the barista to surprise you. :) it has never failed me.

Get the sticky bun , must get the sticky bun .

Create your own Italian Soda flavor combinations!

Give the Bullshot a try!

Just learned that they purchase their espresso beans raw and roast them in the basement !

A real coffee shop where the baristas actually take time to make a drink for you (and the time to chat!). However, the chai is pretty flavorless, so that's real sad.

Get here before 8 pm or after midnight if you want a table during the school year

Redbull smoothie and bubble teas are the best.

Strawberry truffle smoothly!!

Mango bubble tee the best!

The Red Bull Smoothie contains a full red bull .

Try the yerba maté latte , its a refreshing alternative to coffee ! :)

If you sit in the back left corner, wear pants . The AC is freezing under the table!

Use the wifi named "thebitterend2" if you want free internet. The one named "NETGEAR-BE" has no password, but also no internet.

Get the pink grapefruit and lemon smoothie on a hot day

Complain if you want, but they take their one drink per person policy seriously for a reason:-)

This place is packed during finals, come early to get good seats

Bitter end gives me so much life!

Not the place for group studies-too small and breezy . There were 4 of us. Plus, they have a one drink minimum policy. I'm all for not loitering but seriously? 2 of my mates were forced to buy drinks.

Friendly staff .

Remember to tip your barista!

Good people, good conversation. Great place to study & socialize

We were harassed to get a drink 4 times in 4 minutes, 3 of which was outside smoking after we pulled up on motorcycles. The barista even came OUTSIDE to ask if we were ordering

Don't be social in this place. They will ban you if you aren't a stuck up hipster .

*cont* Tip to owner: Get rid of that guy, your business will skyrocket.

get the snickers latte YUM

Best bubble tea ever.

Great atmosphere, terrible drip coffee .

I'm too short for the secret window . Dirty chai , me gusta!

Great brewed coffee !

*Cont* or just "hanging around all night." He made some rude comments, and clearly is terrible for business as numerous people have said the same about that specific guy.

Art Prize blend is a win

Ask for extra whip cream

Raspberry Mocha - yum!

find the secret window in the bathroom !
