MAGINE IT’S 2010. YOU JUST FINISHED DINNER AT UNION STREET IN MIDTOWN DETROIT AND ARE HEADED TWO BLOCKS SOUTH FOR A NIGHT WITH WHAT MOST CRITICS AGREE IS A WORLD-CLASS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. There’s only one problem: The block between you and this cultural gem is one of the darkest in the city, short on curb appeal and long forgotten by a community struggling to remember better times. Now fast-forward to today and walk through the doors of The Great Lakes Roasting Company, proudly occupying the 130 year-old building at the corner of Woodward and Alexandrine — and anchoring what has become one of the most vibrant blocks in Midtown. Here, among exposed brick and reclaimed wood, with the intoxicating aroma of fresh-roasted coffee in the air and exotic beers and wines on the shelves, a story that perfectly blends the past, present and future of a great community is being written.

The variety of coffees available was amazing! The atmosphere was wonderful with happy people meeting up and lots of wayne state students studying quietly! The almond croissant melted in my mouth!

Good coffee and the beer selection looked good too. Ambiance was hip without being pretentious.
