Motor City Java House

You definitely want to be in this space for coffee. Was heading to a totally different coffee house then a voice said go check that other one out. Crossed 4 lanes of busy traffic and a MI turn around and drove up. My goodness it's a great thing I did. The owners are very friendly and kind, they have a lot of amazing additions that they have up their sleeves so don't miss going and talking and enjoying coffee.

I was delighted to find this active community space right next to the Redford Theatre. It’s filled with comfortable seating and a small stage area where I think people read or do intimate performances for small audiences. Behind the Java shop is a eclectically decorated open area where you can have your drink and snack outdoors. Further back is a room they rent out or host their own special activities like Art for children. I was impressed with the beautifully cafe, cozy seating and the helpful staff, especially the General Manager, Tynisha. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for cool upcoming events like the Black Tattoo Art & Music Expo. Motor City Java House supports its local community. Come support them! I think you’ll feel comfortable and be impressed. I know I was.

By far the coolest coffee shop in the D! I like how they used local artist, reused materials from abandoned houses, donates produce from their garden, hosts local events and maximized abandoned buildings. And my coffee was delicious!(Motor City Java House 17336 Lahser Rd Detroit) @java__house #motorcityjava #detroit #detroitcoffee

Great staff, great coffee. A nice place to meet up or hang out and get some work done. They also have live music twice a month. I just can't express how cozy this place is. As some one who frequents coffee shops to meet with people and work on my laptop, I rank this as my #1. The staff are friendly and welcoming and enjoy having people in their space. They are huge supporters of the community where they reside. I couldn't as for more.

It was a very nice atmosphere to be able to go in for awhile. I just got a hot chocolate (not a coffee drinker) and a large was very reasonably price. I was hoping for a little more food options (to be fair, I could have/should have asked if they had more soups or anything else available). Staff was very friendly so it is my fault for not asking. I will be back in the future for sure, even if it is to enjoy a hot chocolate while I read a book.
