Great place for coffee, tea, scones and they even have a few delicious waffles (dine in only). My favorite tea is the La Marche Spice so far. When they have orange cardamom syrup it works well with their earthy chai and almond milk.

My daughter and I have enjoyed Germack coffee for the past several years after I stumbled upon it in CVS (of all places,) almost exclusively drinking their Sumatra dark roast. A few months ago we both noticed a change in it. At first, I thought I'd bought a mislabeled bag of their beans, but subsequent purchases were also disappointing. I asked a cashier if they'd changed their processing method, but he, unsurprisingly, did not know. There seemed to be reduced flavor, and the feel of the brew on my tongue was less heavy. Since I am not a trained taster, my description may not be the best, but suffice it to say, we've changed brands.
The moment you step in the establishment you are greeted by some of the rudest people you have ever met. Honestly worst customer service in the city. I won’t even buy their products in the stores because of it. They treat you as if it’s a privilege you can be there.

Very alright single origin pourover for 5.50. Matcha latte was solid, but extremely sweet. Girlfriend and I both decided we'd stick with our usual spots instead of trying this place out again

Visiting friends in Detroit who recommended this place as a coffee stop after visiting Eastern Market across the street.
Three young female employees working at the coffee shop. The one taking orders at the cashier was fine at first. Placed my pour over coffee order, and I asked if she needed to put a name to the order, since i had heard names being called out for orders as they became ready. She responded “oh yea” and took down a name. Odd interaction. I went back in line after choosing to get a bag of coffee beans. Some of her friends came into the store and she basically paid me no attention as I stood in front of the payment area to get the beans as she was talking to her friends behind me. Finally she redirected her attention after a minute. Completed my second transaction. I continued to wait for my order. The girl making the espresso drinks seemed to push them out quicker than the pour overs, which was fine at first until I noticed me and the gentleman that order an iced tea before me had still not received our beverages until the cashier’s friends who order after my second transaction received their orders before us. I asked the staff about my order and helped the gentleman also check on his iced tea. The girl working the espresso machine decided to be rude and let us know the orders are being made. While there was only one pour over station, and can understand if it may get backed up, I also noticed the girl making them chatting with someone right behind the counter and further delaying the efficiency.
In summary, inattentive/rude staff, not efficient, but decent coffee. Don’t expect too much when it’s run by unprofessional young adults.

The cappuccino is ?! Their teapot sets are very reasonably priced. Take a look at mine.?
Kid-friendliness: There's a pretty cool ? relaxed vibe at Germack. All are welcome. It's peaceful and quiet, yet very interesting.

My friends and I stopped in for a quick coffee and baked good before setting off for the day. The coffee was brewed fresh and the shopping fun began in the store picking up a few Michigan goods and smoked salts. This coffee shop has a little bit of everything from the beans to spices. Stop by and enjoy the smells!
