michigan Coffeehouse Spotlight: The Good Bean Cafe' shines like a diamond

keeping Flint wired since 2000

66 miles northwest of Detroit Michigan is a little town called Flint. Every heard of it? ​

If you've seen the news at any point over the past couple years, I'm sure you've heard of it. Some people outside the boundaries of our beautiful Sate, and some inside, have see Flint as a place to escape from, and for others, a place to simply avoid from the outset. I for one, am looking forward to visiting once again. Flint has gotten a bad rap since it's hey·day as the automobile manufacturing powerhouse of General Motors. But there's diamond shines among the ruble of it's glory days, and it's called The Good Beans Cafe'.

I am a Michigan native with a weird sense of humor. I have a borderline-unhealthy-self-destructive-obsession with coffee. I love coffee roasting, drinking coffee, reading about coffee and writing about coffee and hanging out in coffee shops. I am a father of 1 amazing child, 1 super awesome kid, and 1 unnaturally beautiful and intelligent child who makes me feel mentally inferior. Oh yea, I am also the founder of micoffee.org.
