Detroit Coffee is fortunate to have a growing number of shops that roast their own beans. This creates a much more nuanced coffee experience than simply buying pre-roasted beans from wholesalers.

Some of the best are found in northern Michigan – from Traverse City and Bellaire to the Upper Peninsula. A few standouts include:

In a charming house in Northville, The Red Dot Coffee Company feels like visiting a friend. They serve a wide variety of drink options, from traditional to adventurous – like the Lobster Butter Love (their most popular). They also have baked goods and other snacks. And they’re open later than many of the other coffee shops in town, so it can be a great place to work or study.

Another great option is the Plymouth Coffee Bean Company, which serves a wide selection of drinks and also sells all kinds of fun items in their shop. They’re a longtime favorite, with plenty of comfy seating and great service. They’re open later than most coffee shops, too – so you can get your caffeine fix in the evenings.

Located on the unique shores of Lake Charlevoix, this small-batch roaster is one of the most beloved in Leelanau County. They have a seasonal location in Petoskey and a year-round spot in Traverse City, plus they offer their beans online. Their quality is top-notch, as they taste every batch and roast to order so the coffee will still be super fresh if you have it shipped home.
