Great place!Located in the heart of Detroit downtown!Place has a limited seating arrangementsBeautiful carved cappuccino and serve organic tea as well.Great different ambience to explore around

This place is very serious about coffee! Good tasting and freshly brewed. Nice elegant modern eye catching design. Fast and efficient 😀

This place can’t get any fresher. Loved it!

This is seriously amazing coffee. It is a gem in the city. You can park on the Handy Parking lot behind the shop and run in a grab a coffee. So it is like they have their own parking Lot.

Unique experience with their bean system. Very friendly staff and a variety of roasts to choose from. Great coffee.

Looking for a great spot on downtown Detroit? You’ve found it. Roasting plant offers a wide variety of drinks with fresh coffee. Coffee is roasted on site. Grab a cup and watch as coffee beans are roasted into the delicate goodness we so often enjoy. Coffee is very smooth and tastes great.

I didnt really go through the whole variety of the menu, I just tried their house blend. But oh my, what a lovely house blend.Its smoky, sweet and a little fragrant as its ground and roasted in seconds. It was fresh and fulfilling even as a small, and at a good price for the quality. When i come to Detroit, Ill be happy to come here every lunch.

Loved the coffee here! Great place to just sit and work or catch up with friends or just people watch. The roaster is just so cool! I have never seen the green coffee beans roasted like this. To any coffee lover, this place smells like paradise! Loved hanging out here. Definitely visiting again when I am in Detroit.

A staple coffee shop in downtown. You will not be disappointed from the service to the quality of the coffee. Top notch shop!

Neat little coffee shop which was recommended by a local. Wife ordered a latte and they had soy, oat and other non-dairy options. I got a black Hawaii Kau coffee. Not a lot of seating but we grabbed coffees to go so it worked for us.

Amazing coffee!!! Their Hawaiian kona is my favorite!..and very reasonably priced for such high quality coffee. 5 stars!

They have a high quality coffee and interesting system but service is not good...

Great selection! Fast friendly service. WiFi access, in door and outdoor seating with a perfect view of Campus Martius Park. Great meeting spot on the go. If you’re looking for truly custom blend coffee, you’ve found it. Your choice ground fresh! One more reason Detroit is the place to be. Visiting or local coffee lovers are in for a treat. 5 Stars across the board.

Stopped in to get some morning coffee. Staff was friendly, service was fast, coffee was great.

Good coffee, stopped by here for my 2nd time on Friday . I was hoping the service would be better.Bad customer service, the customers support the business. There is never a reason to be rude, argue or to be irritated by a paying customer. ESPECIALLY, IF YOUR A WORKER AND NOT THE OWNER.

Awesome coffee shop in the heat of motor city! The ladies brewed up one of the best vanilla iced coffee Ive ever had, friendly service and recommended things to do around here!

I was a barista at multiple coffee shops and coffee is my thing. This is the best brew of coffee i have ever had outside of certain incredibly rare coffees. Great Quality Control as well.

What a neat place for the coffee enthusiast! you order your coffee at the counter and it shoots up through the tubes and over to the machine ready to brew! Great crema! You can also mix your own blend and roast. Really enjoyed my kombucha, orange ginger was one of the best Ive ever had! Detroit brewed! Paper straws, always a plus! Love environmental consideration 💚 IG @withlovefrommiche Follow me for Michigan eats!

This place knows its coffee. Lots of coffee choices and coffee beans everywhere. If theres one coffee place I can go to this is the one. People need to stop going only to Starbucks while places like this are 100 times better.

Great coffee its so strong and flavorful. Wake up America we are coming and bringing super strong coffee. Stuff is strong

Neat setup, a bit strong. I would say this place is for regular coffee drinkers that don’t need any extra frills.

Really cool coffee shop! The javabot is pretty neat!!

Hands down the best coffee in the city. Blue Mt is a must

Best coffee! Made up for all the bad coffee I had this trip.

Absolutely loved this place! One of the most unique coffee shops Ive ever been to! Most people dont understand the value and freshness you guy when the coffee is freshly roasted. You get that here!

Maybe a bit gimmicky but service was efficient and coffee was good place was clean and looked nice. I wish baristas would have elaborated a bit on types of roasts and I wish it was a bit creeped but otherwise solid.

Very trendy, cool little coffee place right in the center of the D. Very positive experience with the barista. Don’t be intimidated by any long line, things move pretty quick. Pay attention to the sweet bean machine in the center, when you order whatever blend you want, it’ll shoot the beans to the counter for your coffee through a tubing system.

Fresh coffee good food

Really cool coffee plant. You can watch the beans rushing over your head! Its in a great location and there is plenty of seating inside and outside. My daughter loved her dirty chai and i got a plain coffee but it was delish. I will definitely be coming to this location for coffee next time Im in Detroit!

Roasting Plant is one of my favorite places to go in Detroit. Every year during my visit I try something new. The unique vacuum delivery coffee bean delivery system they have as the main attraction (other than the great drinks) is mesmerising and beautiful. This year I got a dirty chai and it was great. Roasting Plant never fails to deliver a unique and delicious experience.

I ordered a matcha green tea latta. I wouldnt recommend the latta but the place is great for any coffee lover. They have many strands of coffee.

Paper straws dont last in my iced coffee. Really inconvenient

Awesome coffee in the heart of Detroit!

Noticably great coffee. Just be prepared to pay a little more for a slightly smaller portion.

Extraordinary Joe. Coffee for the person who loves coffee. If you want the best cup of coffee downtown come to the Roasting Plant. Right across the street from Campus Martius Park you can get your coffee fix and people watch in the place where it is all going on.

I had a brother come into town and asked me to take him back here. This place has a good feel to it. Makes me feel like I in Nashville again.

This coffee shop in Detroit is amazing. The coffee is the star. Great espresso drinks. Just amazing regular coffee with nice crema.And the smell of roasting coffee is a bonus. Do try the amazing locally made kombucha.The setup to get fresh beans to the machines is pretty cool as well.

Mmm.... I dont know if there is anything special which attracts people.

Best single origin iced coffee around.

Great coffee and great atmosphere plus it’s the Only place where you can really choose your own coffee beans!

Nope. Its not where youll get beef for your sandwich, nor a chicken for dinner. Its a coffee shop! What sets Roasting plant apart from the plethora of other coffee shops, is, that it has its own very high techy looking coffee factory right in the shop. Well, maybe not exactly a coffee factory, more like a bunch of clear plastic tubular bins containing coffee, connected to various tubes and gizmos allowing customers to grind and combine various blends of coffee. Certainly, Roasting Plant is not original in offering a wide range of flavors, yet, therein lies a problem: what kind of cup of joe should you whip up? I played it safe,. though, the folks I was with, were more adventurous, and, quite frankly, their results were pretty disastrous. So. Like operating any heavy machinery, make sure you know what youre doing first, because I dont think Roasting Plant offers refunds on a customer created revolting cup of coffee.

This place is truly cool. It lets you watch the coffee you desire shoot up from a silo behind you upon ordering and travel to roasters/extractors that make scientifically prepare your coffee just like that. There is a really cool variety of coffee being served so it is easy to find what you want. It is a little more expensive but it really is the experience and incredible aromas that you are paying for.

Simply amazing coffee. Probably the best Ive had. They have this super interesting vacuum system for their beans.

Awesome coffee & yummy treats. Favorite coffee place in Detroit!

Ever since I tried this place years ago as a freshman at CCS - I had fallen in love. Every. Single. Cup. Is. FRESH. You most definitely get what you pay for. Not only is the coffee amazing, but their baked goods AND kombucha are too. PLUS I have not once had a bad visit, even when they’re busy as heck - I am always greeted by some of the loveliest people. I miss getting coffee from there. You should definitely try.

Ive been going there since they opened their doors. Great coffee, good staff, and interesting vacuum contraption. Today the coffee was still good, but the staff was not. When youre paying $5 for a coffee the staff should make you feel welcome and important to them. They shouldnt seem interested and make you feel like an annoyance. In my opinion, when youre in the service industry you need a good product with great service. Unfortunately, I didnt get that today.

Wonderful. If youve never been, just come here

Ive been to both roasting plant locations in London, UK and here in Detroit. The designs are virtually the same and the selection of coffee beans is really good for both to try in shop and for taking home. All beans are roasted on site and are super fresh for use at home.

Coffee was good, the technology used to provide it is fantastic.

One of the very BEST ships Ive found in my nine years of extensive road travel.Great selection of drinks and bean choices as well.Not sure where they buy the muffins, but wow they are delicious.I never miss this spot in the Motor City.

We visited this shop while in Detroit for the day. The pictures made it seem like a cool vibe, but I could never imagine working inside the shop as the beans make so much noise going through the tubes. Also, the coffee is a little more on the expensive side, but I suppose it was premium coffee so that may justify it for coffee aficionados.

Great variety of coffee and a very modern atmosphere. Nice stop by for coffee place and overall high quality coffee.

Asked for a small cappuccino and received a cup of hot water with a bubble bath on top for $4.51. Disappointing.

I actually changed my 5 star rating, because I agree with Paul. I also had been going there since their doors opened, and I thought I had built a pretty good rapport with the staff. After moving from the area I wasnt going as often as I used to, but when I was in the area I would stop by. I started to notice that one of the staff members would only come from the back, after I had been waited on. Im sure they have cameras in back so they can see whos out there, and I just got the feeling that I was being avoided, so I felt like if that person needed to go to that extent to avoid me, maybe I should spend my money somewhere else.

EXTREMELY good watermelon smoothie

Delicious iced coffee, Kombucha on tap and FAST WiFi.

If you love coffee, this is definitely the place to go. Ive had Roasting plant on my list of places to visit for a long time and finally made it in. The smell of the coffee beans as you you enter is nothing short of heavenly. Such an awesome place. The prices could be considered to be on the higher side, but, to me it is well worth it for quality coffee. Plus its very interesting on the inside as well.

Wonderful place. I went here during my first visit to Detroit and had an amazing iced coffee. The only complaints I have is the high prices and the people asking for money to buy coffee. Otherwise a really nice, welcoming place.

Worth going to if only to watch the vacuum system that transports the beans before they are ground. Definitely worth going to if youve never had Kona or Blue Mountain beans before as they have them available to brew (albeit for a nominal up-charge, but worth it).

Great coffee! Super cool atmosphere and the staff was really friendly. Cozy little coffeehouse that will keep you warm in the depths of MI winters! Highly recommend.

As for a specialty coffee shop they have such an awesome concept! With a ton of potential, the staff seemed friendly but rushed. It wasn’t a peak time we visited but yet the staff wasn’t overly personable. If your into a Starbucks style coffee and are in the area this place can fulfill your coffee needs👍🏼👍🏼

If you are in downtown Detroit, this is a great place to grab a cup of coffee. (its better than Starbucks!) The selection of coffee is awesome. They also have cookies and other quick snacks you can grab if you need a little something. The employees are pretty cool and they now sell a locally-produced kombucha which is awesome!

I work near the Roasting Plant and you can smell the quality of coffee as you walk past the place. The options are great and the quality of the coffee is pretty good.

I love this little coffee shop. I had their coconut flavoured latte and it was delish! I brought some of their mocha java coffee beans home and it’s been making me happy.

As an engineer Im amazed at the whole experience. The concept is unique and the staff is super friendly.... Oh and the coffee is amazing! Id definitely grab a cup of joe here if youre in the area.

After drinking my first cup of coffee at the Roasting plant I realized that I had just finished the best cup of coffee in my life. Five stars for the best coffee house in Downtown Detroit. You have to taste the coffee yourself to understand what I am talking about. Also the sales associates always smile and are very courteous and friendly. The store is clean and neat. Great atmosphere and view in the heart of Downtown Detroit. Amazing to watch how the coffee is made; this is definitely a 5 star coffee house.Carl M

Cool place. You get to choose from a lot of different coffee types. They roast it on site and you can watch. They have a cool tubing system they shoots the beans you choose over to the coffee machines. Fun place to grab a coffee. Definitely recommend it.

One of my favorite places to get coffee in Detroit! The ability to select different roasts is both fun and great for tailoring the coffee to your own tastes. It has a nice view of Campus Martius as well. Highly recommend!

The coffee here is fine, as are the baked goods, but nothing to write home about. The place is incredibly noisy so avoid if you are there to work or have any sort of conversation.

If you love coffee then dont come here!!! Great disguise for terrible coffee.... truly terrible... its served WAY too hot and even with an extra shot the espresso is almost unnoticeable...... foam is really watery and airy..... youll have better luck with vending machine coffee.....sad and its 7$ by the way this is the first time I have ever wrote a review it that means anything

Best coffee. Always great service. A wonderfully modern atmosphere where you can watch the beans go from green to roasted. Some rare coffees from around the world. Go for the best they have. It’s less than $5 for some of the best coffee you can try. Also free samples of any brew so you can try it before you buy it.

The coffee is fresh and the staff is polite. Good place to chat for a brief while with 1 or 2 others. Its smaller, so not ideal for a big group to stay. Not the type of coffee shop to hang out at for very long.The pastries are above average.

This place has the most amazing coffee and a great ambiance. I love that I can get a strong latte with almond milk. Their prices are fair and their coffee is delicious!

Great coffees and smells. Love the coffee machines. Fresh always.

Good coffee (I hesitate to use great, but it is good). Definitely a cool decor with the Pneumatic tubes. The staff was friendly. Great location downtown in the First National building. Definitely one of my go-to coffee places downtown.

Nice place and a nice roasting machine!

I don’t know what happened, but I was surprised how bad the coffee was despite the really good reviews. My husband & I are really big on good coffee. His coffee tasted burnt, I couldn’t even take a second sip after trying it. I had a vanilla latte. I rarely get coffee with syrup, but this just tasted like Nescafé or something. The foam was also airy and not smooth. I would have given it a single star but extra star for friendly customer service, at least.

Cant comment too much except that I liked Peru (recommended by staff) as that was my first time having coffee. Even my friends enjoyed liked the place too. Good place for hang outs.

Great coffee, nice atmosphere. Upon walking into this place youll be greeted with the most amazingly good scent of fresh coffee. The vacuum tubes are a cool touch. The exotic coffee is a bit pricey but really good. Should I be in Detroit again Ill be returning here!

Great service, ambiance and coffee

This is my goto coffee place in downtown Detroit. They roast their coffee fresh. They even have green coffee beans if you want to home roast. So many different single origin coffees to enjoy including Jamaica Blue Mountain which is like 75+ per pound so enjoy that cup! Croissants were wonderful too. Service has always been congenial and efficient. Wish there was one in the burbs but maybe its good there isnt as I would be coffee poor!

Cool place to hangout, great ambiance, Good coffee, drinks, shorts eats specially ( Almond croissant).Quick service and caring staffs.Free wifi available,

Very Interesting place. A wide variety of coffee beans to he roasted at your choosing or great coffee readily available.

I am always glad that I wait until my second or third visit to a place before rating it - I had a great experience last time I went. I tried the Iced D Blend which is half regular and half decaff coffee. I love the cream taps they have at the condiments table. It is a fun place with a unique display and dispensing system of their coffee. Check it out!

This place is so cool! Not only is it right off the square, but they have these chutes that transport the coffeepot the front. Its really unique and really good. The coffee is really good. I mean they roast it themselves (which you can see at the front happening) Get a coffee and go see the Spirit of Detroit.

My mother loves coffee and she lives in New York, this is her favorite coffee. I bought their gift box with beans from all over Africa for her. Wow she went crazy over the beautiful package and loves the coffee.

Very unique, love the way the coffee travels thru the tubes to destination. Coffee has full bodied taste and rich aroma...1st time visit, will bring the wife here for a special treat

They have great coffee and great staff. But Id like to see them add some quick bites too. The banana bread was really the only option and it was terrible.

The coffee here is terrible. It super watery with little flavor. If If you want a good drink here its almost $7 which is ridiculous. I was at least hoping that the foam would be super frothy and creamy but its not. If you want to add any flavor to your drink its almost another dollar which would bring it to almost $8. One latte is the same price as a Chipotle burrito....no thanks.

As someone who spends far too much money at Starbucks:( I could only wish for a Roasting Plant on my way to work or close to me. Which makes going here a special treat. Sumatra latte is outstanding! Million times better than Starbucks.

Really cool coffee shop unlike anything else you can find. You get to watch the beans get sent to each coffee machine which is a unique experience.

Great coffee, really everything is fine with this place except the environment - for some god awful reason, they play super loud music. Literally to the point when you use a decibel meter app, it says it is at the level that causes hearing damage at prolonged exposure. So, its like being at a club at 1am Saturday, but its 9am on a Wednesday. I come here a lot, and usually wish I could stay and relax, maybe grab something to eat, but I need to do work, or make a call, and you cant do that here.

The best coffee.Edited: this was the best coffee until their roasters stopped functioning properly. Let me know when you fix that issue and Ill gladly return.

Really neat coffee place. Stopped on a business meeting and was such a cool experience to see your beans travel to the grinder and pot to make your drink. Definately different.

A solid cup of coffee - but mind the noise. If youre looking for a fun Detroit experience while visiting downtown, visit Roasting Plant. The coffee is great, they have quite a few bean choices, and their service is excellent. Your coffee beans will shoot across the ceiling when you get an espresso drink, but please be mindful of the noise for your kids. It gets up there; around 80-90 decibels. During summer months, they have outside seating.

Great coffee. Friendly staff. The bean delivery system is fun to watch.

This place is ok. I like how they have outlets every few feet. The coffee is okay and the staff member that served me wasnt friendly at all. She set down a drink and when I asked if it was the drink I ordered she wouldnt respond. It was kind of like trying to communicate with a cyborg with narrowly defined programming. Theres alot of coffee shops in Detroit so Ill try another one next time.

Every coffee Ive tried here has been delicious! Bold and flavorful. You can tell they put a lot of effort into what they do.

The coffee os freshly roasted on site. A large variety of rare beans.It is more expensive then typical coffee shops but worth the experience.I tried the flash iced coffee, I highly recommend it.I would visit one more time.

I mean, the coffee was good and I like that they have oat milk, but $5.26 is way too much to spend on a cup of coffee. Hopefully Roasting Plant is actually giving their suppliers a fair wage.
