This place! I was in Detroit for about four days and visited this coffee shop everyday. The girls are amazing, they are nice, friendly, and sweet to look at. The coffee was OK. I mean this is like a modern version of Hooters, you don't go for the wings. The girls in their costumes is the reason to go there. 10/10 would go there again

I have not been here in a few years. Went on May 2ndin the morning for 2 breakfast burritos and unsweetened tea. The lady barista was professional and told me to have a lovely day. Usually you are told by others to have a nice day not lovely.

Came here from Chicago after my car was stolen asked the girls to use the phone. Very polite, clean environment. Wish I had the chance to order something, wasn’t in the best of moods but they staff keep offering food, drink, or anything they could to help because of my situation. this was one of the most friendliest staff I’ve ever met in my life at any store. Glad to have my car and be back in Chicago.
