"When Bay City native Emily Steffen researched cities to open her coffee shop meets community space, she found that Detroit had far fewer coffee shops per city block than other metropolitan cities. And the North End, which had few communal spaces, was a perfect spot to open a “space for the people.” True to its name, the coffee shop is perfect for remote workers, includes a photography darkroom for public use, and holds classes. On the menu, Gathering customers can expect everything from tea lattes to drip coffee." - Monica Williams
