Beautiful location and nice atmosphere. If you arrive at the posted 7 am opening you may be out of luck as they don’t always open then. Waited till 7:30 before I went

Beautiful building to view in downtown Detroit.

I am told by the receptionist at the front desk that this has been closed since the pandemic started. Since it is now April 2022, it doesn't look like it is coming back.

Was trying to find the bathroom and ended up in this basement filled with taxidermied animals and Harry Styles merch the vision still keeps me up at night

This is a beautiful building in Detroit. Definitely stop in and check out the lobby. Only takes 10 minutes but completely amazing.

Lobby is not open during Covid, but you can walk in and stand on a mat that lets you see the ceiling which is pretty amazing

Breathtakingly beautiful Art Deco building in the beating heart of downtown Detroit. Stunning interior with stunning mosaics, stained & leaded glass panels, mosaic marble floors, etc. Retail Concourse also has incredible architecture & vaulted ceilings. Worth a visit just to savour the talent & craftsmanship of a bygone era. Simply Beautiful.

Great coffee selection and the afternoon barista was a charming delight. 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful building, great tour! Everywhere you look there is something that catches your eye. The tiles are colorful works of art. The outside of the building is gorgeous too. Parking was easy. The Saturday & Sunday tours are great because there are fewer people if you want to try to get some photos.

Super friendly baristas, and you can’t beat the setting to kick back and relax while you get your caffeine fix!

I love having this little shop right in my building. It's so gorgeous in the lobby, even when it's too cold to get out of the building, I feel like I get a break from the office upstairs. The baristas are always very friendly, and I love that they run special drinks and have coconut milk as an option. Their honey cinnamon latte is the jam!

Located in the beautiful Guardian building downtown. This little coffee stand might seem like your typical museum coffee shop brewing Starbucks Pike Place beans, but their baristas are good at what they do and use good old Great Lakes coffee. Latte art and all. A nice peaceful venue to break for a cup of coffee.
