There are days when you need another space to work outside of your office. When it comes to space to type, talk or meet, there are few places better than a local coffeehouse.
Having a favorite coffeehouse is essential to not only getting that all-important caffeine boost, it also can serve as a place for impromptu interview, a great meeting place or a sanctuary where you can finish off that stubborn project with a warm beverage and a tasty treat.
Here are some of Metro Detroit’s best coffeehouses where working is welcomed.
Always Brewing Detroit: This Detroit coffeehouse has a friendly vibe that radiates throughout the space, its food and beverage offerings as well as its events. Whether you come for a cup of Joe, the blessing of the bicycles or to see the local artwork on the walls, there’s always something to see or do at Always Brewing. There is a variety of local eats and drinks as well to try, such as Eli Tea and Chazzano Coffee Roasters.
Caffe Far Bella: You know when you see a large community table at the front of this St. Clair Shores coffeehouse that you’ve found a work-friendly haven. Caffe Far Bella knows how to appeal to people of all ages and meeting needs with its relaxed seating, which includes comfortable chairs, cozy nooks with tables and larger meeting tables where groups can sit together. The menu is varied from soups to sandwiches to sugary treats. Plus, there are lots of local favorites in stock, including Better Made potato chips and the café’s famous s-shaped cookies.
