Coffee shops in Detroit are like most small businesses in that they create an artistic ambiance and warm communal space. Stopping in at a local Detroit coffee shop is unquestionably more of a slow-paced, reflective environment versus rushing into a Starbucks or waiting in line at a drive-thru. The motivation behind the new coffee shops in Detroit projects has risen from COVID-19 hits and neighborhood revitalization.
Whether they’ve just opened in 2021, reopened, or are rebuilding, coffeehouses are essentially what keeps the spaces in Detroit occupied with infectious energy. People need a reason to get up in the morning and for most, this involves a routine coffee. Increasing the coffee shops in Detroit is more important than it seems! Take a look at these 5.

THE RED HOOK GREENWAY
Some coffee shops in Detroit were conceptualized in other cities. The Red Hook coffee shop first opened in downtown Ferndale a little more than a decade ago, followed by a second location in Detroit’s West Village and the purchase of Pinwheel Bakery. This new location, dubbed Red Hook Greenway is great for the grab-and-go crowd. Bikers can stop by and order the same drinks and baked goods popularized by customers. Located at 2761 E Jefferson Ave Suite C, Detroit, MI 48207.
