I just got the best dirty chai Ive ever had! Excellent coffee and cute cafe atmosphere. 5 stars!
Amazing espresso, brewed perfectly. Not sour, not over extracted and bitter. Completely delicious.The coffee shop is on the 2nd floor and a bit on the hipster side, but it’s well worth the hassle.
Another great local place I visited today. Good coffee, good treats. Meant to snap a few pics of the cookies but I was hungry and forgot, will stop by to rectify this mistake next time Im in the area. In the big picture Ill say there is nothing wrong with Starbucks, but if I want a cup of coffee Id rather swing by a place like this. Local, much better decor/vibe/ atmosphere. Nice and mellow, not the hustle and bustle of a crazy overloaded coffee chain, is rather read my book here. My coffee choices are pretty basic, black or Americano. They nailed both. Stop by next time youre at the barbershop downstairs.
Cute. Cozy. Friendly 😊 had the best Chai latte I have ever had. The food looked awesome.loved the art work 😊 definitely going back
Stopped for coffee at 10AM on a Sunday. Closed. No posts or signs stating why theyre closed and only changed it after this review. Many others at the same time were walking up looking to get in as well.
An awesome coffee shop. Staff is very friendly and polite and always a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.
Very hipster chic coffee shop above a barbershop. Beautiful decor and good ambiance for studying if you can get a table.There was one lone barista working his tail off so it was a bit slow. But the coffee was good!
The place is a little difficult to find. It is upstairs from the barber shop and to the right. Its a small coffee bar with limited seating. But cute and classy decor and reasonably priced yummy coffee. They did have non dairy milk options also and the nitro cold brew.
Great place to sit down and do work. Awesome view of downtown Detroit. Love that its on the second level. The interior design is pretty cool too. Gives it a chill vibe.
This is a fun little coffee shop with really good coffee. Had the brown sugar latte and Id enjoy it again
Amazing coffee… especially the vanilla bourbon! However, it is frustrating to patronize a business that is not open during their listed business hours. Maps say one thing, Google says something else and as I sit in front of the building at 8:58 am… I’m simply confused. Please update the hours on all platforms so provide to guests accurate information. Thanks!
Amazing staff. I was driving through medicine hat and they were nice enough to lend me their phone charger and microwave to heat up my food.
This is a great spot to get some craft coffee and enjoy a well curated space with tons of natural light, fun music, and interesting decor. I recommend the vanilla bourbon latte. Take some whole bean home with you, too. Anecdotally, it makes a great home brew with prominent chocolate notes.
Great coffee & excellent service! I go for the nitro cold brew and some macaroons usually— but you really can’t go wrong.
Youve gotta go upstairs to get there. The coffee is delicious. The cinnamon roll was amazing.
You have to try the vanilla bourbon! A unique coffee shop in Corktown. The pastries were fantastic! The coffee was also wonderful. The atmosphere is chill... But how could it not be with a bull moose hanging on the wall??
Coffee is my always favorite. And other is special. Love to go there and the coffee is good.
Great food, great service. Came for lunch two days in a row while on holiday. Highly recommended.
Awesome Latte!! We halted here for a couple of hours while one of us went to the border for immigration work. The lady was so sweet and welcoming. I literally saw so many people stopping by to talk with her on their way to work. As if she is making the start of the day positive and cheerful. The ambient was nice and had free Wi-Fi too.We are definitely stopping here anytime we are passing by.And of course, Latte is awesome!!
Very friendly service and very spacious place to enjoy a good read. Coffee is good
I live right down the street from this place and it has become my regular spot! Such a cool location in a barber shop and everyone is friendly. The barista is always on point and makes a killer latte. Ive only had good experiences here
Good place to stop by! The lake view while having tea is a good experience and good price
I travel the state in search of the best iced mochas and the one I had here is close to the very top of the list. Well done.
Lovely coffee shop ,very generous food portions and a good price
Great place to get a caffeinated beverage and do some work. Had a dirty chai, it was fully delicious. Good WiFi, good atmosphere, great staff.
While a charming space, the coffee itself leaves something to be desired. If youre just looking for a neighborhood hangout, this isnt a bad spot, but if youre looking for a good cup, then look elsewhere.
Great place to get your coffee in the morning.friendy staff. Say more!
Lovely hot breakfast not dripping with grease always good staff
I loved the vibe. Stopped in with a friend after doing some shopping. The decor was feels like someones garage or basement. I would very transitional shabby chic vibe You have to take stairs to get up there. Not a huge place. I wish the drinks were bigger.
Hands down has the best vanilla latte in Detroit! The environment was nice and cozy as well. A must try coffee shop for sure
Very relaxed vibe, complimentary wifi, and available outlets for your electronics to charge. With a simple selection of coffee and specialty drinks. Located above the barbershop, so enter from the barbershop.
The place and coffee is awesome and the girl who gave the coffee is very nice and friendly. She greets and talks with all people so gently and politely.
The city’s only (so far) excellent mochaAnd an amazing space
Great coffee shop with great food and atmosphere!
We were visiting Detroit for the first time, went to LUCKY Coffee shop on Friday 9/3/21 late afternoon. Anywhere we travel, we find local coffee shops, and if we like the coffee/ambiance/baristas, we will buy a pound of coffee and apparel if available. the building is cool, decor cool. Front desk personel were friendly. the LUCKY BARISTA was stand off-ish, scowled several times at me, gave me the passive aggressive stare down. I attempted to engage with him several times asking him about the coffee menu, what roaster they use, any recommendations. I got minimal feedback from him, he even rolled his eyes when I did not know what neighborhood his roaster was in. I told him I was from out of state and did not know what street he was referring to. The coffee shop was dusty, unorganized, items spilling out from the open storage shelves. we wont be back.
Good coffee and environment, very friendly.
I normally remove a star when the bathroom is lacking changing table. However, I dont think I would come here with my kids.The café is upstairs not wheel chair friendly.Place is super clean neatly taken care of. The ambiance is super nice - like super hipster. Really like the decorum.Service is very friendly and nice. Not too loud and comfortable. I would easily spend time there regularly.The pricing is high for a coffee $4to5...But the coffee is actually very good.I would definitely come back and hang around regularly.
Great coffee . Dope spotCome here and you won’t be disappointed
We stopped in right before he closed. And, we ordered two dirty chais. I’ve got to say we both agree that the drinks were fantastic. They were top notch coffee...
Victoria was absolutely amazing customer service and amazing coffee💖💖💖💖PERFECT💯💯💯
Ordered coffee on the website (luckydetroit.com). They took my payment and sent nothing. Couldnt reach anyone to figure out what was going on, even after calling Detroit Barbers (which is the PayPal name and is located at the same address as Lucky Detroit).PayPal refunded the payment after no response from the seller, no idea what the malfunction is but dont order from their site--seems nobody is fulfilling those orders!
Its cozy place to sit and enjoy coffee.
A coffee shop, in a barber shop, in a queer neighborhood. No more inception. An unexpected location and a beautiful entrance to a simple and unique coffee shop. Coffee was good but I think their latte had too much milk. Place would be a wonderful place to hang out in summer as their unique touches were too cold to experience in winter. Ordered a muffin and it was crispy and beyond expectations. Not much to eat, however a unique mixture of coffee and barbershop.
Been to the barbershop here and gave a 1 star. Not sure why I thought the coffee shop would be better. Coffee was super watered down. Way overpriced for sub par drip coffee. Service was rude. Don’t waste your time or money here.Editing my review after the business response:I think the response to my review and every other negative review - consistent theme of rude staff - speaks to the attitude you get from from the business.
Probably the best pour over coffee Ive had in Detroit. Ive visited most of the local coffee shops in the greater Detroit area.I visited Lucky Detroit Coffee and Espresso on a Tuesday and ordered a coffee from Ethiopia. Naturally processed coffees are typically very fruity in flavor and aroma and this coffee lived up to the expectations. The fruity aromas and flavors were undeniable! There was a great balance in the cup. The acidity level was pleasant, not too strong. It was naturally sweet and had an enjoyable aftertaste. I loved the coffee so much I was so sad I couldnt go back for another cup before I left the area. If I didnt have enough coffee at home I would have bought a bag of the coffee to brew it at home.The coffee shop is beautiful very old school, relaxing and everyone is very nice.
Nice coffee, very reasonably priced
Pour over coffee was weak. Barista less than cordial. we have been hear a few times and apparently just stopping in with small kids is frowned upon (didnt even attempt to sit down). The barbershop downstairs is AWESOME and their staff very friendly.
Stopped in for a quick coffee. Super tasty!
Super friendly, really warm and relaxing spot. Upstairs with the view is great. Coffee is also fantastic.
Lovely ambiance and luxurious red leather chairs to enjoy your latte in Corktown. 10/10 would recommend.
Best cold brew Ive ever tasted! Its tucked away upstairs on top of the barbershop below. Grew brews and ambience.
Great food at a great price and cheery staff
Really nice spot. Hidden gem. Ideal date spot when she doesnt want to commit to drinks but you want to make an impression that gets the same result. One visit and you will want to bring a friend. Oh and the Chai Tea Latte was delicious.
A cute, if gentrified, coffee shop. The barista knows what hes doing, and they have great espresso.
Pretty chill environment but the coffee isnt really good and has a burnt taste. Feels like all these other new Detroit business with random old stuff laying around as decor and industrial-ish fixtures... So i dont feel like Id be missing anything by never going here again.
Great place, unique coffee choices.
Very good place ☺️.Tea was very good 👍
One of the best coffee shop to visit in downtown. The vibe and ambiance with coffee, space & music.My favorite is Vanilla Bourbon latte ☕ ( highly recommended) and muffins.
Stop in every five weeks like clockwork. My son sits in front of the fireplace and I enjoy a hot coffee with some really awesome baked goods. Its definitely worth the journey upstairs.
The Best handcrafted coffees and Chai Latte in the City.
Good food. Friendly Ower as well
Loveeee this place!!!!! Such a cool vibe. Friendly service and bomb coffee with so much going on in the building. Best smells in the city.
Lucky Detroit is a great place to stop by to grab a coffee in Corktown. There is street parking that’s free on the side street and metered parking on Michigan Avenue. They have great house coffee and great Chai tea ☕️ and other specialty drinks. They are adjacent to a barbershop 💈 and the whole experience is pretty cool. The coffee shop is on the second floor and they have a few places to read and study 📖 or have a meeting.
Its cozy and brightly lit, with a good window overlooking the street. A great place to meet up with friends, work - OR - wait while your SO is getting his hair beautifully cut downstairs.
Great iced chai latte! There were limited bakery items, but the orange scone was delicious.
Coffee creamer was expired chunky and sour!! When we poured it we told the “barista” and he said that organic milk gets chunky, even though it smelled sour. It said on the bottle it expires tomorrow ( everyone knows that date on the carton is an estimate). He then got a new bottle out which also said it expired tomorrow 10/30 (same date) and that was still chunky! He then heated it up until it melted the chunks and just poured it in our coffee. The creamer curdled! I have bought organic milk my whole life and it never got chunky unless it was expired!! It smelled so sour me and my sister had to through it away. Waste.
Great espresso pull, where as the pour could use some work. The cheesecake bites were nice though too! The window views make this a nice sit down hub!
Brilliant breakfast rolls and cakes
Love this place. Unique back room atmosphere. Coffee is top notch. A place I will always be happy to go.
Favorite coffee shop in Corktown Detroit. Open late so you can grab a drink before or after a haircut at the Barbershop Detroit Barber Co. Good coffee and chill vibe. Very Cool Decor!!
Great spot tucked away in Corktown! Really nice interior for a coffee shop, definitely worth checking out.
Very nice coffee shop. The workers are very friendly and the coffee is great! The honey latte is my favorite here.
This Detroit Coffee Shop is amazing. I have only been here once, but the service is great and the atmosphere is wonderful. This place is a must see in Detroit very cool decor and the coffee is great!
Love this setup!!! Easy to find as long as youre notnot scared to ask how to find upstairs!😅😍
Looks cool and good service from a nice staff, but the coffee is mediocre. Also, the lack of electrical outlets to get work done is very frustrating, considering that’s what I went there to do.
Great jazz vibe and terrific double dirty chai! I went before work so it was a little hard to find the door in the side of the building but they helped by putting signs on the sidewalk. Worth the search.
Cant say didnt get coffee I went to the barbershop but its a beautiful eclectic barbershop/coffee shop they didnt cut my hair like I wanted but its still a gem in corktown
Great coffee shop, good service, and love the inside of the place! Very clean, also the muffins are great! I will definitely be returning.
Great coffee shop. Delicious coffee and very cozy feel.
Very cozy place. But he didnt do espresso because they a close after 40 min and his washed your espresso machine already!!! WTF!
Love the location, GREAT service. Had a iced vanilla bourbon latte and was OBESSED!Will definitely be back!
Very cool. Great americano
Nice place brought my puppy he had fun too!
Vanilla bourbon latte is where it is at. Love the look and feel of the coffee shop. Super oldschool feel - great coffee, great music and great conversation.
The chai latte was fantastic, quiet and tucked out of the way. Cheap parking nearby as well! Ill definitely be going back when Im in Detroit
The pictures of this space online dont do it justice. The Lucky Detroit Location is perfect! Patrick is amazing I love the experience and the Blueberry Croissant is my favorite.
Tasty, quick and polite service
Very good coffee - I had the Vanilla Latte a definite must have and the Almond Croissant is amazing!
Super cool coffee shop - Patrick is awesome made me several drinks that are not even on the menu. I highly recommend checking them out.
One of the best coffes un Detroit, keep the quality guys!!!
An amazing place and experience. Definitely some the best coffee in Detroit!
Smoothest iced latte I may have ever had. Would recommend!
Maybe the best chai lattes in the metro area. Great staff too.
Absolutely, the best coffee in the city. Friendly staff, and the location offers a great place to get work done.
Solid coffee shop upstairs. Small and very cozy. Cool signature drinks are coming as well
The quality is great. It was the first time in my life I had a small Mocha that tasted beautiful.
Not open during business hours

2022-08-17Stopped by Lucky Detroit one morning during our recent trip to the city for a RHCP concert. What a unique and lovely coffee shop! The coffee and scones were top quality and the outdoor seating area was an absolute vibe.
Review №2
2022-06-28Fortunately. I was riding my bike in Corktown one morning and was desperate for a good cup of coffee. Luckily I was right near Lucky Detroit and I could not have wished for a better spot. Great coffee, chill vibe and a quiet space. I think my favorite thing was the location above a busy barber shop.
Review №3
2021-08-08I wish we lived closer. The building and decor produces a space you want to spend time! The Bourbon Vanilla Latte and Coldbrew were really delicious. Great little courtyard out front to enjoy your drinks in the sunshine.

2022-06-07Laid back coffee spot ☕️ with eclectic decor. I highly recommend checking this place out!

2022-03-26Highly recommend this place. It’s above the barber shop! I had the vanilla bourbon latte and it didn’t disappoint. Try this place out!
Review №6
2021-05-23Absolutely one of the best lattes in town. The ambience is fantastic - very much looking forward to reading a book with a coffee here once the pandemic subsides. There are a few comfortable seats and a long table that looks great for laptop work. The cafe is up some stairs in a courtyard behind the building, adding to the ambience. Antique items from Detroit (and a moose head) nicely tie the room together. For now, it was worth the drive just to pick up a couple of lattes and some ground coffee.

2022-07-29IYKYK...Best Bourbon Latte hands down. Non descript...if you blink youll miss it cafe. Stairs to the shop which is on second level. Bring your taste buds.
Review №8
2022-08-10Beautiful, hidden gem! Perfect place to escape and enjoy a matcha or a latte.
Review №9
2019-01-21Love this space. Upper floor in a barbor shop. Well made coffee. With pour overs available. Not quite the freshest roast... But latte, and more importantly, the maple latte is beautiful and delicious. Good setting for reading and change of scenery from normal coffee shops. I recommend a visit.

2022-07-15Excellent. The service was prompt and friendly. My only regret was that I didnt have more time to sample many of their other delicacies. But alas, work beckoned. Perhaps next time, Ill bring a laptop and work there.
