The Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Company

The coffee and other beverages here are fantastic, featuring unique names and fun presentations. The minimalist decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and the drink quality is outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the brownie à la mode with vanilla ice cream—it's simply delicious!

This coffee shop has gained a great reputation in Midtown, making it one of the most popular spots in Detroit. They roast many of their beans in-house and are also known for their unique blends. I was fortunate to find a seat before it got too crowded. I ordered a honey lavender latte, which struck a nice balance—it wasn't overly sweet, but it did have a slightly burnt taste. Later, I tried their tomato soup, which was served with baguette slices. To be honest, I wasn't very impressed with the soup. It had a lumpy texture (with the tomatoes poorly chopped), and it was overly acidic, making it a bit difficult for me to finish. I would recommend coming here primarily for the coffee or brewed drinks; it's probably better to get food elsewhere.
