4. Astro Coffee
Astro Coffee is located in the historic neighborhood of Corktown in Detroit. They source their own coffees by roasting them at their Core City facility.

In addition to black coffee, they also have espresso drinks to choose from.
All their food is made using natural and organic products and is made in house, including their sandwiches and baked goods. Even their produce is local, as you’ll find Ghost Acre Farms, Keep Growing Detroit, and Detroit Mushroom Company used in their menu among others. Their bread and dairy products come from nearby Michigan. They are also working on Ochre Bakery, which is expected to debut this year and will expand their baked goods to naturally leavened croissants, bread, and whole cakes.
