"Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Co. has shuttered its cafe indefinitely following a COVID-19 outbreak that, according to a report by the Metro Times, infected at least nine of 15 employees. The abrupt closure follows a battle between workers and company ownership over COVID protocols. The outbreak and subsequent closure illustrates the dire state of the restaurant industry, which is besieged by temporary closings in metro Detroit and across the country." - Serena Maria Daniels

This place made the BEST chai latte I’ve ever had!! The staff worked tirelessly during a conference at Huntington Place. They were very friendly. The latte was a bit expensive but definitely worth it!

The worst management I’ve ever seen in a business. Be careful because they will continue to bill you for items you never received and then ignore your messages and calls.

The woman serving me was rude and not once cracked any kind of smile. Shocking service.

Amazing place! The first city coffee cult convention center that does it right, house made syrups, crafted and balanced lattes, perfected simple menu, it was too easy to enjoy this place! My latte was amazing, perfect blend of heat and rich cocoa, wish I could've hung around for another. The area is tidy with the large space taking over the usual small shop atmosphere but still could have a nice time here. There's not much room for lounging for studying but we ran right into the auto show anyway. This place provide the fuel for the rest of the morning!

I have to say greatest coffee roasting company is permanently closed. Service was not at good. They were very snooty about what they're trying to do to try to prove a point I can go get better. Coffee at madcap obvious was just you know great but I'm sorry you guys just did not cut it. I meant ambience.

The chia tea latte it's the worst I've ever had doesn't even taste like it should and my muffin was cold and dry.

Love it here. Beautiful wood and finishes, delightful coffee, locally owned. The tumeric latte with coconut milk is my favorite afternoon treat! It's a great place to meet friends or hang out solo.

the muffin was SO GOOD. i'm always hesitant ordering food that sat in a case but it was still so moist (sorry to use that word) and had a lot of flavor. you wouldn't even know it's vegan. for a busy saturday brunch hour the staff got through the line quick and was personable. They were able to grind my coffee for me and give a good recommendation. Good amount of seating too. Try it out yourself!

I love me some espresso & love the little cream designs. They had two booths at a big national volleyball tournament and they did a great job interacting with customers that came through. With carts they were limited on flavors, but they are all good. You must try the lavender, it's not over powering & just delicious. I mean I like the flavor of their espresso without flavor, but mocha or lavender are a great touch.

The foods great the service felt like i was being tended to by high school teenagers with the giggles. I had to repeat my order 3 times because the girls were so caught up in their own conversations they weren't paying attention. Also crazy concept they serve liquor in coffee/tea great. But not to go? !! Why?! Especially being there's a paper cup one can easily transfer from the mug into and walk out. I don't think they thought that all the way thru. There's room for improvement guys. Step it up
