Coffee Shops

Idrees Mutahr

There are so many good coffee shops in Detroit that I wouldn’t even be able to share them all in one list, but here are some of my favorites from across the region. Most of my coffee knowledge just comes from visiting as many cafes as possible, but I’ve also worked as a barista before and have plenty of friends that work or own coffee shops.

My favorite drink to order is a cortado, the perfect mix of espresso and milk.
