Novi Coffee & Tea

06/05/2026

Don't feel bad Starbuck's, we've got the role of a traditional coffeehouse in Novi covered. You can take all of the drive thru "gas station" business, & people yearning for an actual traditional coffeehouse will come to us!

A viral Reddit pic sparked a surprisingly emotional conversation about the disappearance of the "third place."

Did someone say "I wish I could have a tasty, authentic Cuban sandwich in the Novi area, preferably with a delicious latte, made with fresh, store-roasted coffee, made by coffee farmers?"

Well, we got you covered! We just sent Porky on a 12-15 hour journey, & should have fresh Cubans tomorrow! (the sandwiches, not the ci**rs)

Any guesses as to what will be our NEW menu item?? Depicted here, we'll give you one clue: its name has deep links with both Detroit/Oakland County AND Puerto Rico. If anyone gets the answer (& explains the links) before we post it tomorrow, we will give the first person to submit the correct answer a $50 store gift card.

Espresso Machine is back up & running!!

05/12/2026

Quick update on our espresso machine: it experienced a blown wiring harness following a power surge on Friday late afternoon (after techs gone for the day ofc); the tech diagnosed it 1st thing Monday & ordered a replacement, which arrived late today. We are hoping he can install it 1st thing tomorrow 🙏🤞

Can we make it up to you with some new menu items? Two savory, one sweet

1. Argentine Empanadas de Carne with chimichurri sauce. These are EXCELLENT & very filling.

2. Tequenos Venezolanos, basically tasty cheese sticks, served with salsa rosada (a ketchup/mayo sauce), these are a smaller item but also quite filling & are a quick pick-me-up.

3. Chocolate-filled croissants.

We picked up pork, & are going to slow-roast it for our signature Cubano sandwiches, & will be making fresh batches of quesito's!

Tenemos muchas delicias!! 😋

We are supporting Eagle Scout Daniel Hughes* & the Mulberry Acres Parrot Rescue near Brighton, by supplying our delicious, fresh, store-roasted, BIRD FRIENDLY coffee as a fundraiser to build brand-new outdoor aviaries for the shelter!

Daniel helped us roast & bag coffee today for his first event, the Bird Expo at the K of C Hall on Ryan Road in Warren. He's working to identify additional events/locations, including our coffeehouse. Stay tuned, maybe we can bring some of the parrots by!

* Daniel Hughes is an Eagle Scout who's the son of long-time family friends. They have tropical birds (like we do) & we've bird-sat for them a couple of times.

He is one merit badge away from collecting ALL of the badges (which we understand is a rare feat). His latest project is working with a newer parrot rescue near Brighton to build outdoor aviaries for the birds... GREAT project, so we put our heads together to figure out how we can help.

As we would say in Puerto Rico, es una Bendición y un honor asociarse con las escuelas, its a BLESSING & honor to partner with the Novi schools.

We are delighted to support this wonderful event. The teachers & other district staff who visit our coffeehouse bring such warm, happy & enthusiastic energy that day!

We remember an anecdote from this event in a prior year: a customer from out of town had read reviews about our awesome coffee, friendly service, & comfy vibe so stopped in. He saw all these cheerful & friendly people coming in, & asked what was happening? When we explained the event, he said that he was in town from Chicago to house-hunt, & that when he witnessed the beautiful spirit of our community, he intended to ask his real estate agent to limit his search to Novi!
