ROASTING PLANT

Move over Starbucks! When you’re in Detroit you get your coffee at the Roasting Plant. Located in thriving downtown, the heart of the city, you will find yourself looking out over the iconic Campus Martius and Cadillac Square. Roasting Plant, situated on the ground floor of the bustling and energetic First National building, is well worth your time. Using the unique and sophisticated technology of the innovative javabot, you will find yourself presented with the freshest cup of coffee around. You will see your specific coffee beans “whoosh” in from the ceiling through clear tubing where they are ground and brewed specifically for you. If that alone doesn’t persuade you, there are cookie dough shots. Individually packaged for your extreme enjoyment. This made in heaven combination is not to be missed!
