Delicious pour over. Highly recommend their Ethiopian blend. Chill vibes.

Beautiful morning in mid town. Glad they’re still open

Seriously??… Great Lakes coffee roasting in the TCF Center. Here we are at the Detroit free press marathon… And there are literally hundreds of people in line for a coffee. They have only one person running the cash register and one person making coffee at one of the biggest public events in Detroit. Unbelievable?? Who is managing this company?

Delicious fresh roasted coffee in the city, supporting local tastes and feels better than buying chain coffee

This place is amazing. They have great cold brew and nitro as well.

This place never disappoints. They make all of their syrups in house and even serve alcohol. Atmosphere and drink options 10/10

Always a good time and the staff are all sweet. I love how welcoming the vibe is and the Great Lakes coffee blends you can get on site that arent in the stores. I especially love the Lavender Latte so good.

Just what I needed while traveling. Laid back environment and good food. Lots of working area. Baristas were super helpful and knowledgeable. I got peanut butter toast with blueberries, honey and sprinkled cinnamon. Heavenly!

Still my #1 coffee shop in Detroit. They have the absolute best baristas you will ever meet, everything is made perfect and timely. Place is a gem and Vicky is amazing!

Fantastic coffee every time I come here. The service is great, the coffee is great, and you can buy any coffee supplies or beans while you wait. The photo featured is the in-house vanilla latte.

I have been feeling really down lately and wasn’t excited at all about my birthday today but the amazing people working here got me a birthday 🍰 that cheered me up and made my day🥰 ☺

Great coffee and excellent service. The baristas were all super friendly and helpful. Their cafe miel and cold brew were delicious :)

Stopped in recently for the first time and will be back here, too often.Grabbed a specialty toast, a version of caprese and enjoyed it very much. Had a great iced drink at the recommendation of the barista and took home a bag of this awesome holiday roast.Cant wait to go pack post Covid for an Friday of caffeine transitioning to a cold beer from the bar!

Great coffee. Very nice ambiance.

Love the atmosphere at this coffee shop. Great unique drinks and definitely try the lavender latte when you go.

Hands down best chai I’ve ever had! Loved the pinch of spice - maybe cayenne or something? And a good dose of cinnamon. Staff was really nice also.

Not a coffee drinker so I cant speak to the drinks, but the Cucumber Feta Toast is SO good. Visiting from out of state and will definitely be popping back in before I leave so I can have one last piece.

Great coffee shop, cappuccino tasted great!

Stopped in for the very first time with my fiance, who was excited to show me the place. The atmosphere is nicely decorated and maintains all the trappings of a hipster third-wave cafe. We ordered coffee and food from one barista and waited for a good ten minutes before realizing that nothing had come out for us besides my fiances coffee (which was a quick nitro pour and handoff shortly after paying). Another barista noticed us waiting and asked what I had ordered: I told her, she seemed to be on her way to grab it but still nothing for a few more minutes. A third barista started making coffees, probably to start taking care of the crowd that had formed waiting for their items. Behind him, the first barista checked text messages on her phone between setting up glasses for more drinks. We were on a time crunch and at this point had waited for about 25 minutes for my latte and for two to-go orders of food. I soon learned that another woman waiting on multiple coffees had accidentally taken my latte, so we awkwardly laughed that off in front of the barista who had screwed it up -- he was busy chatting with a different customer. In fact, a duplicate of my order came out a second after this with no attempt to communicate what had happened. After waiting even longer for the food we asked how long it would be for the to-go orders and were told that about 7 table orders were ahead of our to-go orders (!!!) and did no one tell us that it would be a 20 minute wait?! We were floored. Maybe it was a bad/super busy day for everyone -- I can empathize with that -- but it seemed adequately staffed for the demand. Better communication wouldve been great as we ended up 30 minutes late to an important family meet-up. Not sure I would trust going here unless you have nothing to do all day.

Alright drinks.Would love some :-decaffeinated options.-Syrup options (outside of simple syrup/sugar) for drinks- AND SOME PLUGS/OUTLETS

Highly recommend the green goddess sandwich - one of my favorite vegetarian things to eat in Detroit. The multigrain bread is thick sliced and super fluffy with amazing crust. Always a quality sandwich in my experience.Spicy mocha is incredibleStaff is lovely as wellAnd they have beer

Love this place but I really miss the later hours! Used to be the only place to get a good cup of coffee in Detroit after 8pm.

Pretty bad espresso. Nice atmosphere, friendly employees, etc... yet the espresso was pretty bad

The drinks here are fantastic and not just the coffee. Im talking their So Fresh, So Green cocktail, and the Final Ward being among my favorites. This place has great flexibility from a great studying spot during the day to a cozy date night in the evenings. Its also within walking distance to the DSO, museums and music venues.

What a lovely coffee shop. Here I enjoyed a wonderful cup of tea and pastry. The decor is also great

I looove their spicy mocha, hot and cold! They sometimes have a lemon or cheese danish...the yeast bread is to die for!

Great Lakes is a fantastic spot for a rich pour over coffee, small plates, as well as beer and wine. There are always students studying here and professionals holding meetings. It’s a warm space with the hardwood floors and exposed brick. People are often using their laptops and there are quite a few wall outlets available if you plan on staying long.

I love the atmosphere! The avocado toast and chai latte are my favorite. Only con is the chairs are so uncomfortable.

Awesome shop with such a cool vibe. It was my first visit and was recommend the lavender latte, amazing suggestion! Friendly staff that makes you feel like your family even on the first visit! Highly recommend this coffee shop.

The first time I went was after getting an MRI across the street at the hospital and I wanted to go to one of the fancy coffee shops to treat myself, and oh my was it a treat! I got an iced mocha and a ham and cheese croissant and they were both absolutely delicious! That day started my obsession with trying to find the best ham and cheese croissants I can find and they are still in the top two! I absolutely LOVE espresso and theirs is top notch. They also carry their coffee and espresso at bread by crispellis so whenever I go there I absolutely have to get either an iced or hot mocha. Just so smooth and fresh and just, YUM!! 😋

Great coffee and great vibe to this coffee shop. We tried the nitro latte and cold brew. Both were fantastic!!

Nice looking but its my 5th time finding that although though the web page says open but I differ its always unattended.

They were crazy busy! But the staff was awesome on the delayed wait for my takeout order. Great food and drinks!

Comfortable eclectic coffee shop located in the heart of the Detroit Medical Center complex. Try the cold Macha.

One of my tip coffee spots in the City.I love riding my bike to grab a cup of joe.

Delicious. Refreshing. Excellent selection.

Very good coffee and food. Great for studying. Definitely a must try in the area.

First time coming here today. Love the location, warm and cozy, probably because of the interior. They didnt have my favorite drink white chocolate mocha (which is why I gave them 4/5 stars because thats a little unusual), so I got a dark chocolate one instead. The barista was super friendly, she took time describing what some of the other options are and didnt rush me even though there were a few customers coming in at that time. Really professional. The drink came out quite good. Definitely will come back.

Delicious chai latte and energetic staff

I havent actually been inside yet. Seems like a nice place.But if you:1) Download the Nearbee App (by Mobstac),2) Make sure Bluetooth & Location are on3) Stand near the entrance or on the corner...Check your phone for secret prizes & discounts from nearby businesses!

Best in Detroit. Good coffee and food, and awesome work crew

I live pretty close to this shop and theyve been amazing from the first moment ive tried them out. Throughout the pandemic, theyve been one of the most consistent spots to go to and i truly appreciate that. A rock-star team and will continue having my support! They also have amazing shirts/ hoodies that are pretty damn cool & comfy :)

Came here to get my Voting Day Detroit buisness crawl started, what better way than a cup of coffee and yes Baileys Irish Cream! (They have a liquor license, yes Gawd!) They offer a few different types of coffees at all times, a good lunch, light dinner menu but most of all an awesome laid back WiFi access atmosphere, which I love!

Lovely inside and seems like a nice place to get some work done, but serving size (a diner sized cup) for a decaf pour over (the only decaf they said they offer) is too small for the price ($3.71). Paid street parking or theres a parking structure behind the building. Nice wine selection as well.

Fast service and delicious coffee is what you can expect when you come to Great Lakes Coffee. I stopped in there for an interview with a magazine editor and had a very enjoyable time.Great Lakes Coffee is a nice quiet atmosphere, even though the place was packed. The seats and stools are comfortable which let you enjoy your coffee even more.They have your standard fare coffee or espresso or latte and they also have some more specialized items to make a very unique experience. Not only do they have coffee but they also have sandwiches and other food items.

Yes! We loved this place! Dont be fooled by the coffee shop name. This place has a bar as well as a bomb dessert menu. Of course the coffee is some of the best in all of Detroit. Plenty of seating and great location

A great meeting place in Detroits Midtown.Pure Detroit, not the Cookie cutter Chains you can also find in Detroit...

Food was great, and they have a bar and outside seating.

Industrial decor. Good coffee and vibe.

Great place to sit and talk. The internet connection is very slow, which makes work hard.

This is one of my favorite coffee and hang out place great coffee , food and ambiance. Not to mentioned the great stuff too

Something green was floating in my drink 🤢I realized after I left and I was halfway through my drink. Im hoping it was just spinach.

They serve one of the best cold brews in the city!

One of the coolest atmospheres to get coffee or do homework in Detroit for sure - love the lavender latte and the friendly staff who always have great recommendations 👍☕️

Coffee was great. The food took awhile. But expectations were set by the cashier. Love the atmosphere.

Delicious latte creations, great atmosphere, nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating options.

Coffee is nice and smooth. Unique as it is a Bar and Brew serving both coffee, beer, wine, and liquor. A great place to hang out while youre in Downtown Detroit.

Good customer service, a little pricey , decent variety & chill atmosphere.

Coffe was great and crafted with care. I got the lavender latte and a turkey sandwich. The sandwich was fresh and thick.

Very cool shop, nice interior, plenty of cool special drinks and pour over coffee available. Would visit again

Perfect spot to be with my baby on a wet, snowy, Tuesday afternoon in the Wayne State District of our fare city. Warmly received and the coffee is on point.

Visited this coffee shop the last time I was in town, and made sure to stop back by. Got a lavender latte and it was super good. The wait was a little long, but the staff was super friendly so I did not mind.The place was busy- from students doing work on their laptops to groups of friends catching up with one another. I was reading a book from class, and I enjoyed how open and cozy this place was.Would definitely come back. Its a super cute place.

Good coffee and selection of pastries and breakfast options! I liked the breakfast tacos while the standard egg sandwich was okay. A solid place to set up your computer and get some work done. Free WiFi.

Keep coming back for the spicey mocha year after year! Love the creative energy and ambience in here.

Delicious drinks and very chill atmosphere, this is a great place to hang out with friends or snag a seat all alone to work and be inspired by the artwork and feel of this venue.

The best coffee in Detroit. I had the SUMATRA JAMBI a must have. Great menu selection WOW!! Not to mention the ambience will have you forgetting what time is it. The friendly staff will have you feeling like you belong. Detroit is so blessed to have The Great Lakes Coffee right here on Woodward right across from the DMC Breakfast, Lunch, Amazing Coffee or a drink with with friends. They will have you coming back.

Came here for an after dinner coffee and was pleasantly surprised. Its absolutely super cosy inside, and with the rain falling outside and chill music, I could have stayed for hours just hanging out, as Im sure a lot of people do.

I bought a regular cup of coffee with cream. $2.75 +tx... REALLY good cup of coffee. Looking forward to having another soon. Will look for the beans as well.

The best nitro I’ve ever found !! one of the best avocado toasts I’ve ever scarfed down 😋 also the best barista on the 🌎 Cassidy! but honestly everyone here is amazing. My boyfriend and I are are diehards and love the atmosphere here. He also loves the muffins. I have the Mackinaw blend at home and that might be my favorite at home coffee. Honestly I’ve tried so many places on road trips and adventures and this is my go to!

Modern and hip coffee shop that serves coffee, alcohol and pastries. I had the matcha latte and my wife got the lavender latte and both were tasty but I think the lavender one was the winner. The scone was also really good.

Good people, good food, and good coffee. What else can you ask for.

Finally made it back home to #Detroit and enjoyed some amazing Great Lakes Coffee Roasters lavender latte! #MissKatMoonApproved

Highly recommend, excellent coffee and service and follows all executive orders.

Really like the atmosphere of this place I love the fact it a coffe and wine place. Nice place to kick back and relax with friends or study they also have great customer service

Friendly staff with a generous selection of quality beverages. Ambience is one-of-a-kind, fun, hip, and relaxing. By far the best place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the midtown area. Dont forget to try their (5) spice latte.

Girl Develop It Detroit! Code and Coffee

Friendly staff, and great place to have a coffee

Amazing coffee, impressive beer and wine selection. Very friendly staff.. We will be back!

Amazing coffee. The locally named coffees is a new cool touch.This is one of my top 5 Detroit coffee spots in the city.

Great matcha latte (they can make unsweetened, yey!) and I love, love the fact that they adjusted hot cocoa temperature for my daughter - made it just right temperature! Thank you

Very cool coffee spot in Midtown with great vibes, specialty coffee, and breakfast tacos!

High prices. Mediocre food. No table service. (If you want another second of anything... or anything else, you must get up, wait on line again, and order it!) They must be losing a ton of money with this method. Bagel and Lox $13 contained very little, squashed pieces of lox and an over abundance of cream cheese... UGH! Arrogant attitude from food server when I politely asked that my table be cleaned before sitting. And, they didnt clean it! Never again!

Just about the most hipster cafe Ive ever seen. What appears to be a normal coffee shop from the outside actually serves unique menu items such as the 50/50 (half coffee half beer), vegan bahn mi sandwiches (thats what is on the menu, I dont think there are vegetarian or meat versions available), or smoked shrimp tacos.I can only rate based upon my iced coffee, which was excellent. Highly recommended.

Good coffee and the beer selection looked good too. Ambiance was hip without being pretentious.

Really love this place. Most of the coffee places dont have a vibe of a legit coffeehouse, this one has a great variety of coffee for all the coffee lover out there! My personal suggestion would be spicy mocha with a cayenne pepper, very delicious! Oh and they also have true and legit macaroons, as they must be. Good spot!

Place was crowded when we went. Lots of people on their laptops just getting work done. It’s funny that it’s not just a coffee shop. They serve food plus beer and alcohol. Coffee is alright. I got a chai latte which personally was a bit overpriced but guess that comes with the fancy designs on top of these coffees made by the baristas.

Great staff and very attentive and they are nice.

Cool coffee shop in the heart of DetroitGreat to see this city becoming vibrant again.

Great place to sit and get work done, come early if you want a seat near an outlet.

This place is great! Fantastic coffee, but its also a great place to hangout. They have beer and food too.

Of all the coffee shops I visited during my week in Detroit, this was my favorite. Delicious coffee, baked goods, and breakfast, and it was a nice spot to hang out as well. Came back in the evening to sample the great beer selection and again really enjoyed the vibe. Staff is very friendly and helpful as well!

High quality fair trade coffee, creative flavors, and the latte art is always really cool. My go-to Midtown coffee shop

Awesome matcha latte!!!

Very chic café with excellent coffee and sweets

Hipster central. Best coffee in the area. Will be back

Coffee, teas and drinks. I get the lemon/lavender soda.

Would love to give five stars but they were down a chef. I believe to one chef was told it was gonna be 20 mins. It was 35-40 for food. We had to ask and it still took time to come out. Their coffee was amazing though had the Mexican mocha to die for.

Fine products served by finer people. Clean and socially distanced but with that cozy college coffee house feel. You could be arriving for that marathon cram session or energizing for a night of mayhem and shennanigans.......no better place to start or finish.

Spacious, friendly, innovative, tasty, trendy, and comfortable. Great music, great selection of coffee and tea drinks along with homemade concoctions and beer. The chai latte with almond is the perfect blend of spice and creaminess. The mocha is equally balanced. Neither is overly sweet. The barista bangs them out with precision.

One of the best coffee shops in Detroit!
