This is my current favorite coffee shop. Definetly take advantage of their loyalty cards to get the most bang for you buck. The coffee is delicious and I love that this is locally owned and family run.

I used to work from this location. The lavender lattes are delicious. But this location does get extremely busy so if you're looking to camp out here for the day, definetly get there early.

When I lived in Madison Heights, this was my favorite coffee shop to head to in the late afternoon. Once I was clear of meetings, I would work here for a few hours with a coffee and some delicious dessert in hand.

One of my biggest struggles when finding a coffee shop is making sure they serve food if I am going to work there for the day. The food here is a massive plus and I never leave hungry.

They have great food and coffee here. This is also one of my favorite atmopsheres of local coffee shops. I love how warm it is. Beware - they do have a time limit of how long you can be there if you're looking to work.

The food here in itself is worth the stop. It is a bit on the more expensive side (given it's in Birmingham) but the coffee and food are delicious.

This is a bit of a hole-in-the-wall find but I was so happy I made the decision to stop here. The breakfast and pastries are SO good. The coffee is just a plus really.

I love to treat myself to Birmingham Roast during the summer when I can sit on their patio and work. The coffee is great and they have great breakfast and lunch options.

I used to always stop here when working with clients in Ferndale. The location is small so I recommend getting there early if you'd like a table, but the coffee is delicious.

My eye doctor used to be in Lake Orion and I would always wake up early specifically to treat myself to this coffee shop. It's so cozy and quiet. Truly perfect for working or reading a good book.

This is such a great spot to work in downtown Rochester. It's a super quiet location with great breakfast sandwiches and even better cold brew with signature cold foam.

Cafe Immortelle ranks number one for customer service. The family that runs this is so kind and treats every person with such kindness and respect. I also recommend trying the avocado toast if you visit!

In downtown Utica, this small coffee shop has great coffee, treats, and sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. This is the perfect spot to meet with friends!
