The number of coffee shops in the state of Michigan with the quality and consistency of Anthology can be counted on one hand. I have never had a bad shot here - they are always dialed in to get the sweetness and characteristic flavors from the bean. Milk drinks are just right, the right ratio, right texture. It takes training, experience, and attention to detail to pull this off.The whole-bean single-origin stuff is among the best you will find in the area as well; great selections, great roasts. Order online and you will likely get your beans the day after they are roasted.

I had a very nice iced oat milk latte near the end of my 🚲 ride. The space is really great.

Always superfantastic, starting with the friendly service and pricing and availability of the most delicious ingredients.

You can tell they love what they do here. Cool space with great coffee

What a great find. Beautiful open air location. Employees were super friendly and helpful. It was the best cup of coffee Ive had in a long time. My wife loved the iced coffee. I would highly recommend.

Awesome coffee shop. Great environment.

Amazing Ambiance and very authentic Coffee selection. I enjoyed their Cortado and Latte!!!

Good coffee and cool modern coffee joint

Sam is pretty informed and has guided me towards the light on fair wages for all beings. Coffee needed a bit extra creamer. Nice building. Open concept.

Totally unexpected coffee find for me today. The atmosphere is wonderful. Big open sitting area. The staff went beyond to make me feel at home. The coffee is really good too. Thank you for the hug. I can’t wait to come back to visit.

Good but expensive coffee, accommodating staff, nice design but needs some cozy chairs, too political

Very knowledgeable. Great experience: service ambiance and coffee.

What is a coffee shop without wifi? An afterthought, that’s what. And the black coffee is double the price of other local establishments. Not worth it

Knowledgeable and friendly staff combined with great coffee made this a wonderful experience.

True berista Real gelato and delicious pastry wonderful service

One if the nation’s best roasters & best coffeehouses, without question.I notice a few reviews complaining about the “high prices” here. Look, people: It costs money to source the best coffee and pay the people who produce that coffee. It also costs money to pay people at the coffeehouse a worthwhile income for the special service that they provide.If your goal is to pay low prices for a cup of coffee, and you pay no mind to the income of the humans who produce the beans and the cups, then you are better off at an international chain that sells artificially flavored, commodity sugar-drenched milkshakes disguised as coffee.Would sure be nice if their phone had an after-hours recording, and one that declared the current Covid situation, such as if they have started letting people sit inside.

They make the best latte in the city and it’s also the most consistent. Delicious every single time.

Great espresso, low-key baristas (baristi?), modern and minimal decor with plenty of space. Lots of cool graffiti art all around the surrounding blocks.

Coffee Tonic is amazing!!

If you like coffee you have to stop here. Best roaster in Detroit. Homemade gluten free baked goods. I recommend this place to everyone.

Amazing service here. Talked with a fantastic barista named Sam who recommended some amazing coffee, talked us through a pour-over set, and was willing to give us honest advice about investing in a top quality grinder rather than buy a cheaper one. I will absolutely be back to buy more coffee and learn more about the craft they obviously deeply care for.

Theres only the best coffee here. The best anywhere. And its found here.

Amazing coffee, passionate people who understands the chemistry of coffee.They offer 4 different flavors of coffee (drip style) made to order with a special technic and chemicals balanced water. Takes about 3 minutes.If you are looking for quick prebrewed coffee. This is not your place. :)I have had1. Nyangwe/ Bourborn which has a sharp taste with lighter body - the best2. Rodomunh/ red catua- their darkest and slightly bitter.They also have some cappuccino and pastries of the day, unique each day.The place is hard to find. No sign outside. It looks like a rundown building. With amazing graphiti art.Other major factor I reduced a star is due to, when u get in there its hard to say what do they do. No menu, no signs, nothing.Note: Each coffee is different price.

Snobby place for only mediocre coffee. And, no options for non-coffee drinkers.Offer tea. Great Lakes, Desert Oasis, Roasting Plant, and essentially every other coffee roaster in Detroit is able to offer tea.

Im not a coffee drinker but they have the the best sparkling white tea. Next time youre there ask Sam Schaefers about it.

Best coffee in town, and the weekend pastries are always amazing. Large indoor space feels pandemic friendly, but cant wait for those big doors to open up again once the weather warms up!

Beautiful open and airy space.

Always stop here for an EXCELLENT cuppa!

Tucked away but good coffee and very trendy!

The best coffee Ive ever had. Defiantly a hidden gem in eastern market!

Lovely place, open and spacious. Great coffe!!

Friendly and helpful staff. Cant wait till Im able to come back again!

Best coffee in Detroit

Wonderful artisanal coffee spot

This review is more about the terrible customer service I received than about the coffee. I ordered two bags of coffee for delivery and only one bag arrived. I promptly let them know. No apology for the error but instead they blamed the process. I was told a second bag would be sent. I was given no expected delivery date. So I reached back out a few days later to ask when I should expect to receive it and was told it was the fault of the the USPS they already shipped it the day before. Not sure why someone didn’t email me to let me know but I cut some slack since it is a local business and supporting local is important. Again, no apology for the inconvenience at the very least. After still not receiving it almost a week later (mind your this place is less than 2 miles from my house), I politely let them know I still hadn’t received it and asked when I should expect it. Again, no apology and again they blamed the USPS. After a few days, I still had not received it and asked for a refund. If the coffee ever arrived, I would have just dropped it back off (again, this place is less than 2 miles from my house). At that point, I was told mistakes were made by their team and if I felt I was “entitled” to a free product, they were happy to provide it. Again, no apology for their initial screw up and now an accusation that I want something for free. Anyone who cares enough about coffee to pay $20 per bag is not looking for free, they are looking for professional quality service. I let them know I only wanted what I paid for and honestly, dropping the bag off at my house would have gone much further in acquiring me as a loyal customer than implying I felt entitled to something for free. After more blame on everything and everyone else, they FINALLY apologized and ended up just refunding me for both bags and said I didn’t need to return anything. Acceptable but this was not my not goal at all. I just wanted what I paid for and to be recognized as a person worthy of an apology. Instead, they let ego get in the way. The coffee? It’s great but every time I take a sip, it’s bittersweet because of this whole ordeal and I’ll definitely never buy anything from them again.

The coffee was good, I ordered a cappuccino and they made it like a latte which I found out was their typical house style. The gentleman at the counter was very easy about making it over to my liking.

One of the best coffee near Eastern Market.

Friendly service, good coffee, but very overpriced. Also coffee only, they do not have tea.

Great coffee with knowledgeable service

Beautiful location great for hanging out. Amazing coffee everytime and some of the best drinks Ive ever had.

Awesome space- they serve up some of the best coffee in all of Metro Detroit. The espresso tonic is the best I have ever had. I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the bags I have snagged from this spot. Highly recommend!

This is absolutely one of my favorite coffee shops in Detroit and a delight to visit every time. Sam, the barista, was professional and extremely kind to walk me through the process for their very unique filter espresso - a must try! I encourage all to visit this shop when in Eastern Market, or even go out of your way to try their coffee! Also, they roast their own coffee so taking home a bag of their beans is not a bad idea either. Love Anthology!

Good coffee

Great looking place and great coffee

Drove 30 minutes to try a new coffee place. Just wanted an Americano and London Fog but was directed to scan a QR code pdf menu so I could order from the menu. I stood at attention for a few minutes watching beans being bagged and displayed and a few online orders being picked up. I asked if I have to order online but was directed to the QR code menu again. Even though Im very knowledgeable about and an avid coffee drinker I felt oddly unwelcome.

Good place

Little coffee shop, with an interesting selection of beans. Staff is friendly.

Great new location. Big and open for a comfortable hang out. If you are looking to purchase fresh roasted beans for home, their prices are quite high compared to other Detroit roasting companies.

Excellent coffee, beautiful space.

A must-visit coffee shop in an off-the-beaten-path location. I was touring around looking at some of the recently purchased, large industrial buildings and I stumbled upon Anthology. When I walked in I was instantly impressed by the decor. I loved the plants on the walls, the wooden accents and the hand painted murals. It had the feeling of a hand-made coffee shop. The coffee was superb. The owner was very kind and even showed us how to great photos of Detroit!

Quite possibly the best espresso I’ve ever had. I usually lean toward a filter coffee or pour over and tend to not drink much espresso; however, the combination of a super tasty Ethiopian Wush Wush and Anthology’s extraction method led to a super clean, delicate body, and balanced coffee. Size was just right for early afternoon also. Aside from the amazing coffee, the staff is super knowledgeable and the cafe is out of an issue of arch digest!

Great coffee, friendly staff!

This place is off the beaten path and well worth the couple extra turns. The coffee is strong. Nothing fancy as far as flavor syrups to dilute the taste. And to my delight both of the amazing looking chocolate desserts today are gluten free. The decor is converted-industrial with lots of intimate touches of art and green plants. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend paying a visit and sharing the secret.

I dont know why this place has so many good reviews. I thought the coffee was terrible and they give you very little for the price. The seats are also cold. There were also screaming kids and toys lying around.

Although the current location is a bit tucked away, it has a great atmosphere for a coffee date, meeting, or just studying/working on your lap top. The staff are really kind and are clearly knowledgeable about coffee and care about it. The pastries are always delicious.

I just visited this place while on summer break in Detroit. The coffee was terrific, as was the plum cake, and I had very enjoyable conversations with everyone who came in while I was there. Its refreshing to go to a place where people actually enjoy interacting with each other. The warehouse location was also pretty neat.

My favorite coffee roasters also happen to run my favorite coffee shop. Nice when things work out that way!

The best 3rd wave coffee shop in Detroit. They offer a wide range of beans to use in your espresso or espresso based drink. The staff and the music are extremely chill but engaging. They rotate desserts that pair well with their coffee.

Beautiful build out in the space. Delicious fresh coffee. Its a genuine roastery which is similar to a brewery for a coffee drinker. Its a great concept.

Industrial location near downtown. Ample off-street parking. Hard-core coffee, no puffy flavors. Good variety of urban music genre played while I sat. Clean facilities. Turntable and record selection I did not explore. Good coffee.

Now THIS is an experience for a true coffee lover. I had the privilege of stopping by Anthology when they had the Esmerelda Estates Geisha from Panama. The fact that I was able to choose which brew-method I wanted (Pour Over, Espresso) was a nice touch. While the aesthetics of the place might be too hipster for some, many a coffee geek will find Anthology to be a highlight of the Detroit coffee scene.

A small minimalist style coffee shop. Attractive style and design boasting epic traditional coffee drinks. Everything is excellently roasted and if you are espresso lover it’s totally worth the trip. Been here a few times over a couple years and it’s always consistent. The baristas are always knowledgeable and nice.

Location is unique and theyve made good use of the space. Feels open, plenty of work space and earthy, friendly vibes. This is not your usual coffee shop -- the staff here seem to be buddies, hanging here all day while serving customers. With a little more professionalism and enthusiasm this would be a 5-star venue.

Everywhere I travel to I try to sniff out the best coffee spots... Anthology is up there in my top 5... I love coffee and coffee culture but hate the pretentious attitude that comes with it at most places, this place was an amazing surprise... Laid back...excellent product... Friendly people...cool location. I cant wait to go back.

These folks are super kind and accommodating. They brew one hell of a delicious cup of coffee and know their way around a roast.BONUS: If you get scared to walk in because you have no idea where you are going, Hernan will be your coffee spirit guide.

Been supportive of this place since it opened. Coffee made excellent. Great tea selection as well.

A really good coffee shop in Detroit. A little sketch to find, and a little difficult to know what they actually offer, as there is no board with the information. Just gotta ask the person on duty. Regardless, the place had great coffee.

Great coffee; fun, hard to find location. Also, Ive been able to get free used coffee sacks which have a wide variety of uses. The only reason why its not 5 star is because its a little bit expensive, but I guess thats to be expected for the quality they offer.

Love the design and space creative shop with top notch coffee. Wasnt treated very well last time I came in, which is a shame as this used to be my favorite. I think its a confusing time, as we had ordered drinks and waited for them and then got yelled at when my friend took a sip of his inside. (A few months ago now)

It took some searching but I found this gem of a third wave coffee place hidden in an industrial section of the city. Focus on pour overs with a nice selection of single origin beans to choose from.

Loved the vanilla oatmilk latte.

Everyone here is so nice, I feel like family every time I come here.

The best cup of coffee I have ever had. Im usually more detailed, no need to say anymore. Try it, you wont be disappointed.

A little too hipster for my taste - one of those accidentally snobby places where I feel bad about my lack of in-depth coffee knowledge and feel like I would be scorned if I asked for any kind of milk or syrup in my coffee. But it has a cool industrial vibe, and if you are a coffee snob who loves pour overs, then youll love this place.

Love Anthology! The Ponyride space is great and the coffee experience is wonderful. Great roasts and good espresso drinks.

If youre looking for true coffee passion this is the place. Staff is extremely knowledgeable and love coffee. This environment may not be equivalent to the standard Starbucks hangout for a frozen absurd desert drink but if you want the absolute best coffee and espresso this is your place.

I searched up amazing coffee shops to visit with family in detroit & came across anthology & was excited to try it. the interior look of the shop is 5 stars, but i can’t quite rate my experience that way. the guy that took our order didn’t seem very welcoming. after drinking my coffee, later in the day i felt super nauseous, weak, faint & shaking. i had eaten that morning so i wasn’t drinking a cappuccino on an empty stomach or something, i was hydrated, energetic. my mom was with me & she was feeling the same symptoms that i felt afterwards. i was feeling just fine until after i visited this place. not sure if there was something in that coffee of ours :/ the shop is beautiful, but my experience scares me to go again.

Cute little cafe, wonderful espresso and delicious avo toast.

My favorite coffee shop in Detroit. I think people need to come here more often and support them!

Good coffee. But: it was cold, noisy (bad acoustics- all the sounds echo), unfriendly staff.Hard to find.Confusing ordering system. The young woman making the coffee seemed harried and impatient. I kept doing everything wrong. When I asked her a question, I couldnt hear her answers because of the music and echoing noise. Later she had a line of people waiting for their coffee, so I went to grab myself a napkin. She scolded me for doing it myself, saying this is our cart. you need to let me do that.

Great coffee and probably the most unassuming coffee shop I’ve ever visited. Staff could be a bit more friendly.

Super Duper

Kind of tucked away and hidden. Delightful to have several vegan options. Thank you.

As someone who works in coffee you can taste how much work goes into what they do here.

I tend to be somewhat of a coffee addict. I heard about this place from a certain fellow coffee addict, and I must say they did not dissapoint!They are truly about the coffeeIts small, unique, and cosy.There is no sign but for those of us that seek we will find.

Absolutely the best coffee in Detroit, go visit you wont regret. Best wishes and nothing but love from Amsterdam

Cool space. Good coffee

Phenomenal coffee and very knowledgeable owners!!

P chill spot. A lil weird with the coffee bar right in the middle of the place? Tasty tho.

GF/vegan donut pop-up was flipping amazing!

DIY hipster spot thats about as inviting as it is expensive. Great if you like coffee so lightly roasted that it tastes like herbal tea. Its so hipster its like a comical parody of a what a hipster coffee shop would be like in Detroit. I wish them success because there is definitely a demand for a place like this in Detroit, I just personally hated the experience. From the rude counter person to the cold and univiting atmosphere to the bad coffee, thats gonna be a no from me. Try Olomon Cafe in Hamtramck.

One of the best coffee shops in Detroit in my opinion. Small cozy shop!

Truly unique and amazing coffee, friendly people, and the most authentic specialty coffee shop around

Hard to find, but great service and delicious pulls. You can tell they care, and theyre enthusiastic about their product.

I am very disappointed with my interaction here today... I came here because I know that Anthology’s coffee is very high quality, but the customer service is seriously lacking. After ordering a capp, the barista made me a latte. When I pointed out that I had actually ordered a capp, he didn’t apologize but instead made a comment about how he just made a 10oz drink instead of a 8oz one. First off... cappuccinos are 6oz, not 8oz. Secondly, as soon as he realized he made me something I hadn’t ordered, he should have immediately remade it. He reluctantly offered to remake it after I made a few more comments regarding this not being what I had wanted, but it was clear that he did not want to do so. After this interaction it’s unlikely that I will be returning here for coffee.

The best pumpkin spice latte you will ever have!

After 5 days of insipid coffee in Toledo, I in no way expected truly amazing coffee in Detroit, much less great service and a cool clientele in an off-the-main-drag, urban, grunge locale. But thats what I found!...Some of the best coffee I have had in years (and I live in Portland)...

Thanks for the free.coffee on election day!

They has good coffee and they let me use the wifi to play pokemon for hours on end. So, yeah, of course I love it.
