I've found a new location to work on those days when I feel like I've been spending too much time lurking at Kava House. It's A Grind is located downtown, next to Kinko's by the Van Andel. read more...

Those of you that care will be quite pleased to know that It's A Grind downtown has replaced both their wireless access point and switch with SMC gear. The change took place a couple weeks ago, but it wasn't until this morning that I realized how much connectivity has improved. read more...
GVSU campus

I'm submitting this comment under the downtown Urban Mill header, which seems like a breach of protocol, but I wanted to compliment you on this absolutely terrific site. A lot of GVSU students and faculty hang out at the downtown Urban Mill; it's close to campus, which is also wireless but not available without registration. I'll pass this site along to my students via my blog at 2worlds.blogspirit.com. Nicely done.
Steady Decline in Sevice
by T. Johnston on Fri Aug 18 2006 at 03:43 PM
I use to be a steady patron of theirs from day one, even when they had 2 locations. Tonight I tried them again after multiple times of getting rude service. Tonight was no exception... the employee from behind the counter came over, without even finishing waiting on his current customer to yell at me for taking a photo of MYSELF with my digital camera. Yes I have a photoblog and like to document the places I go. I was then told that I'm attempting to break company secrets... etc. I showed him the image and still he went on and on. Not to mention parking is no longer FREE or validated for their customers, after 90 minutes you pay by the 1/2 hours. This is my last night ever coming here. Slowly they are getting worse and worse. I tried to give them one last chance and they failed.
The ideal place
by Steve Batchelder on Fri Aug 18 2006 at 03:52 PM
I have been going to the downtown It's A Grind since they opened. I have seen different employees come and go and have always found them to be pleasant, they remember your name, and they make it a place I can comfortably bring associates to and host meetings. The coffee is phenomenal, the internet works good (after some tweaking) and their sandwhiches are the best tasting because of their own sauces. The owners and managers constantly analyze and adjust and make it a place that will grow with our community. It is my coffee shop. Steve

I have had a excellent experience everytime I have been there. You have to respect the fact that they are trying to reserve their secrets. Most respectable people would obey your wishes in your home!! This business is not in business to provide FREE parking, so if you can not purchase and consume a coffee within 90 minutes, you need to go somewhere out of the downtown area. Enjoy your day!!
