Staying focused during summer semester or your downtown workday can be tough, but we have the ultimate way to cool down and power up! Introducing our featured drink of the month: the Caramel Crunch Swirl Frappalatte. We take rich, real espresso, blend it with velvety caramel sauce and ice, and top it all off with whipped cream and real Heath toffee bits for that perfect crunch. It is summer bliss in a cup!

📍 Grab yours at our café right inside the beautiful Mott Culinary Arts Institute!

We are closed today in honor of Juneteenth, but stop by the Coffee Beanery on Monday for a delicious breakfast burrito and your favorite flavored coffee! Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 7:30-3:00.

Start your morning downtown on the right foot! Before you head into work, stop by the Culinary Arts Institute and grab one of our incredible Breakfast Burritos. Packed with fluffy eggs, gooey melted cheese, hashbrowns, bell peppers, and chorizo, they are wrapped up and toasted to warm perfection. It's the ultimate breakfast on-the-go!
