Australian-style coffee bar with Proud Mary beans & pastries
"After four years in downtown Detroit, the coffee shop at 607 Shelby Street has closed; posts indicated it struggled to survive and was operating with only a single worker before shutting." - Ashok Selvam
"A casual, all-day walk-up cafe positioned at the entrance to the subterranean speakeasy, serving as a convenient daytime counter-service option that anchors the venue’s street-level threshold." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Located in a spot literally “down under” a building in downtown’s Financial District, Coffee Down Under is pouring coffee brewed with Australian roaster Proud Mary’s beans. Walter Pat’s Bakery supplies snacks including hand pies. In the evening, the cafe space is a false entrance to modern speakeasy Shelby." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Coffee Down Under just happens to occupy a basement spot, but its name is a nod to the Down Under. This Australian-style coffee bar opened in the Financial District in a 400-square-foot space right before the pandemic hit, with espresso roasts from Proud Mary Cafe, a Melbourne-based company. There also are Australian refreshments, including the long black, which is created by pouring a double-shot of espresso or ristretto over hot water. From the coffee to cups and toilet paper, the cafe puts sustainability at the forefront." - Monica Williams
"A downtown grab-and-go coffee bar importing Melbourne coffee culture, pouring beans roasted by Proud Mary and serving teas from Somage Fine Foods, with Australian-style drinks like the piccolo, flat white, and Melbourne Magic alongside oat- and coconut-based ANZAC biscuits." - Brenna Houck
