Cute coffee house vibes, the workers were busy but not stressed/yelling like at some other places. The coffee was amazing, we got two vanilla cappuccinos and it's the best cappuccino I've ever had. read more

Drink: Berry blossom, the elderberry syrup had me a bit curious. Pretty good drink, a little heavy on the milk. I did also get a cold brew and it was good. Light on the acidity and smooth. Service: a bit standoff-ish. Maybe it was just the time of day, couldn't tell you why. Ambiance: very cool spot, got myself some pistachios that were delicious. There's a lot of seating available. read more

Fantastic location across the street from Shed 2 @ Eastern Market. The space itself is great and has a lot to offer aside from just coffee including nuts, snacks, etc. that all look fantastic. I had a cortado and thoroughly enjoyed it, coming in neck and neck (9.5/10) with my favorite in Detroit: Sabbath Coffee Roasters. read more

Creative drinks, specialized in pistachio flavor. They make their own syrups, nothing sugar free but they made me a honey latte. Bf had the brown sugar cashew special, very nice! This is a hopping place on a Saturday so be prepared to wait in line. Decor is historic warehouse district style, unfinished floors and ceiling. read more

Good coffee in a very cool old industrial building bordering the Eastern Market hub Theree are also lots of possible souvenir items to buy beside coffee.

It was packed - but the group working in there were pretty dismissive when after 20 minutes I asked if my drip coffee was going to come out soon. They told me they forgot about it and made it seem like it was my fault. Good coffee, but super rude and slow staff. read more

Nice job Germack. You freaking close at 3:00. Still a ton of us in Eastern Market. I was one of 6 people that went to the door and found you were closed. As I am writing this there have been another, and I counted 17 people try the door. You aren't that good. Never again. CYA! read more

Best mocha I have had in quite some time. Little shop in the Eastern Market area, great to stop before or after walking through the market to get hot drink to warm up. Staff was friendly and served up the coffee promptly. read more

Cool coffee roastery in a very cool area across from the Eastern Market. Cafe Ole, according to my connoisseur coffee, was excellent. Was told my specialty Columbian chemex made coffee needed to be had black. Was excellent. Baked goods look tasty. One weird thing was the tip sign on the register. Not diggin that. read more

Coffee is always great. I just get a simple drip coffee and it's flavorful without being burnt or acidic. Way better than any major chains. Service is always friendly and with a smile. Ambiance? Eastern Market is just a fun place to be. Parking on the weekends is a nightmare but weekdays is nothing to complain about. read more

Germack Coffee Roasting Co - the inside of a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I thought to share my two cents about germack I've been a patron of getmack, for many years. I think is more than just coffee . I think most fascinating thing about germack. It's that it's a institution in Detroit I think the pistachios to spices chocolates to coffee . I met some people and talked about the great passion of giving great service I love the old warehouse. Feel that you step into gives you a feel back in the day where you can walk into somewhere like that gritty feel I know that the NFL draft is coming into town and a lot of tourists are going to come into the city and don't know anything about Detroit . I say, public speaking is the largest marketplace of United States . I recommend walking around a different markets and getting a field of what's Detroit is about the food people that work in market will tell you a story read more

Such a great place to escape the cold. The coffee was so good that we bought some beans back home. Also, the spices are amazing as well. Enjoy read more

Germack Coffee Roasting Co - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Cool coffee shop right across the street from Eastern Market. There was a line to the door, of course. I'm sure it'll be like this all day. It was a Saturday just before noon. The people at the register seemed really nice and personable even though they were obviously busy. The guy who took my order made conversation. He was really nice! The workers are all hipsters so it was cool looking at their fashion. The baristas at the back seemed like they were tiring a bit. I get it. It can be exhausting to work a Saturday with the line never dying down. Customers were all pretty patient and understanding, as was I. I ordered a soy latte which was pretty good! Kinda strong but just right. My older sis got the chili Mexican. It had a kick with the cayenne but was tasty! My other sis got a soy cafe miel which is a latte with honey. She thought it didn't taste much like honey but it didn't taste like my soy latte. They sell bagels, gluten free treats, and GT's kombucha. I do like the space. Lots of small tables for two and one big table at the front. Lots of exposed brick and wood. It was a bit dark because of the color scheme, but there was a lot of natural light. I saw lots of young adults and older people. Seems like a hip place to be. read more

Years of enjoyment having the best jumbo squash seeds ever. Just made trip to Germack and only jumbos now sold as less sodium. Seeds barely have any salt added and seeds are so small it's hardly worth the effort to crack since there is no flavor without the salt added. These taste as if I took out of pumpkin and baked. No flavor at all. I never tried Rockeys but that's my next shop to try. Every trip to Eastern Mkt I picked up a large bag. Reduced sodium means salt was lessened but it's actually almost eliminated. Fine If for people with health reasons, but why not offer both ways and add to inventory as a test before replacing it. This is just my opinion as a long time customer hooked on a great product. Other Germack products are as good as ever. Service was friendly I spent over $100. Store was clean. read more

Germack is one of my favorite coffee roasters in the city. The beans are amazing and make both incredible brews at home and a fantastic beverage in-house. Everything I've had there has been great, from the cold brew to a simple pour over to a latte. Rich and perfectly roasted beans. The beans I've taken home have yielded awesome pots of coffee and delicious cold brew concentrate in the summertime. In addition to the coffee, this shop has a variety of coffee brewing equipment, locally made snacks, and really cute kitchen accessories. Looking to put together a cool Mitten made gift? It's easy to do here. Head next door to the nut shop and you can add some of Germack's awesome house roasted nuts to your basket, too. They have a small amount of seating and some snacks like scones and such if you want to stay in to do a bit of work or take a meeting, or just sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee while hanging out in Eastern Market. One of my go-to places in town, for sure. read more

Their mochas here are amazing. While I love going to the trendy big box coffee chains. Coffee is my life, and this cafe serves some of the finest tasting espresso drinks. They are rich and delicious. Their mochas and lattes are perfectly crafted, and offer an elevated taste beyond your typical franchise. They also serve fun cookies, muffins, and pastries. We have purchased chess pie here as well from Love's custard pies.They seem to support other local businesses and Detroit businesses here. I enjoy purchasing gifts here. I found some great creamers in the shape of a cat, so adorable. I like their Germack and chocolate choices here. They have Sander's. One of my favorites is the ginormous peanut butter chocolate bars they sell. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

I'm sorry, if you think you're too good to work at a coffee place you shouldn't. I asked for hot coffee and got bottom of the pot cold and when complained everyone in the store looked at me like." how dare you complain". When she made a fresh pot, she did not clean the storage and grounds came out so she had to throw away the first 2 cups. Took my coffee and put cream in it and the cream was curdled so it ruined my fresh cup of coffee. At that point I had to just walk out. Ineptness read more

Stopped in here on a whim, they have great reviews, got a Mocha with Almond Milk. For the price I paid I thought it would be a large (16-20 oz) but instead I got a small - around 12oz for over $5.50. That's about a buck too much IMO. I asked for no foam / froth but I got foam and froth. And it wasn't filled all the way to the top - at least 1/2 inch shorted me coffee. As for the taste - you could not tell it was a mocha by any means. It just didn't have that distinct mocha coffee taste which was disappointing and a let-down. In fact - I had the same Mocha w/ Almond Milk made for me at the coffee bar in the Lexus Dealership in Austin, and it was 10x better, and not to mention - free. That's not good for Germack. You can't compete with better quality java that's lower cost. I think they benefit from their location, when you're in the mood for a pick-me-up - which I was. Just did not meet my expectations quality-wise and was not economical. read more

Whenever I travel to Motown for work I make a stop at Germack for tea/specialty tea lattes and to browse their store. I love their bulk teas, spices and other fun Michigan based items. I recently bought their jasmine green tea in bulk and it's one of the most robust flavored jasmine greens I have had in a LONG time. They switch up their seasonal specialty drinks, which was a bummer for me as I wanted their turmeric latte, but they worked with me and made me a tea latte that had turmeric in it. You are able to buy their coffee in bulk, as I don't drink coffee I brought some home to my husband who said I was delicious. Definitely worth a stop if you are looking for local made items, bulk high quality teas and coffees. Parking has been simple for me, probably because I am there during the weekday. I could see weekends being a bear since it's at the Eastern Market. read more

Germack Coffee Roasting Co - sign on brick wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

It was my first time in Detroit and I visited the Eastern Market- it was over 90° and my 85 y/o mother was feeling ill so I stopped in this cute shop. I ordered coffee, tea, and some food. Before the food even came, they announced that the restaurant was closing and we all had to leave! They handed me a paper plate with my mom's food and said good bye. I told them that they had not notified us they were closing before I ordered, and that my mom was 85 years old and not feeling well from the heat. They said sorry- but there's a table outside (in the heat that I was trying to avoid). They had given no warning of closing or gave any indication when I ordered. We ended up needing to leave, with a paper plate and hot tea to look outside for a table. I told them that had I known, I would have not ordered because the whole point was to have my mother text in the air conditioning. Not worth the visit. read more

My favorite place to get coffee when working downtown. The employees are so nice and consistent. I also love that their cups are compostable/recyclable! Good job, Germack! I just wish they were open on Sundays :) read more

Nice coffee shop. Great selection of coffee brewing gear and accessories. Seating is a little tight, which is typical for many shops.

Love this local coffee shop. Unassuming, interesting products - many of them Detroit made! - cozy neighborhood coffee shop. I just moved to Lafayette Park and am gonna make this my home base. Some selection of baked goods but drinks are where it's at! And the fall spice latte is legittttt (cause I'm a #basicbitch) Just wish they were open a on Sunday's!

Came here for the first time with my GF after going to the Eastern Market. It's a pretty cool place, good selection of teas and coffee to make at home. The coffees we ordered were good. If you're in the area and in the mood for coffee. This is a quaint little shop that's a nice change from the larger franchise shops. The inside does not have a ton of space to sit. So if it's busy you'll probably be getting your drinks to go. We'll be back. read more

I've only been down to Eastern Market one other time. This time was with a foreign exchange student program, where we met at Germack. I'm not a coffee drinker so I went for the hot chocolate. AWESOME! It was pretty cool to watch the staff make the hot chocolate, the atmosphere was lively and friendly. If I am ever down at the Eastern Market I will definitely be stopping by. read more

I've been buying beans here pretty regularly for about 6 years. They were good to start with, transparent with their sourcing, and reliably good. They've gotten better and better with their sourcing and their roasting - and their current selections are among the best I've ever seen here. I am absolutely in love with the columbia laderas coffee that they have right now, with a great mixture of fruity, tropical and nutty notes, but you can't go wrong with their darker ethiopian roasts, the mexican light roasts or the costa rican offerings. There also happens to be an excellent tea selection for decent prices, and many of them make just as good of an iced tea as a hot tea. The baristas are all incredible and will pull you an excellent espresso shot or a top notch cappucino - not to mention they have detroit institute of bagel bagels if you're hungry too. You're a fool to pass up Germack on market days or otherwise. read more

Love this true coffee shop! I find it difficult to find a spot to purchase good coffee. I frankly don't care about the ambiance (although this is a cool spot to chill) nor the non-coffee additions (they have unique gifts as well). What I love is that the coffee is sourced from around the world and the staff is knowledgeable. Any time I'm near Eastern Market, I stop in and buy the fresh bags I love. Worth the trip! read more

Picked up some coffee on my way to enjoy the morning at Detroit's Eastern Market. I liked the different items they had for sale, although greatly overpriced. I was happy to see all the bulk, loose herbs they had available. Not even in health food stores can you find a great loose herb selection like Germack's has. In the back of the store is their roasting room, where they do on site roasting. I loved the earthy/industrial-yet-cozy decor. The staff were all very friendly, and like Starbucks, the coffee itself is priced reasonably, but the fancy drinks were $$$$$. read more

This place has such a zen atmosphere after being in the hectic market. The servers know there coffee . Ask for recommendations if you buy a bag of beans that they roast. Pastries are delicious and there are lots of local food items for sale. Wish they had more sandwich food. You can go next door for Germack nuts and munchies. read more

The spice shopping looked great. Over on the coffee shop side, service was slow. I had an espresso which left much to be desired. It was an over roasted blend and served without a smile. There was a good selection of home equipment on the wall. The baked goods looked delicious but I didn't try any. read more

Germack Coffee Roasting Co - Chili Mexican Latte with extra expresso. One if the best lattes ever! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

It's rare for a specialty coffee shop to please my coffee taste pallet. For a coffee shop to not be a franchise but rather specialty, they have to be special in my eyes. Most are 3 stars but the good ones are 4 stars in my experience. It's not common for a 5 star. This place takes 5 star simply for their mocha latte drinks (hot and iced)! Many people were recommending their mocha lattes and it happens to be my favorite latte anyways so I was for sure more than willing to try them out. The place has a unique roaster inside with Costa Rican coffee as their origins. Everything is togo with Covid but come here on a nice and bright sunny day and you'll enjoy the coffee that much more in the Eastern market. I tried their hot and iced mocha lattes this past weekend and it was a perfect creamy dark chocolate balance between coffee and cocoa. The espresso gave it a good caffeine kick that I needed as well. At the end, Great location with great coffee. I'm afraid to try anything other than mocha lattes next time because I do not want to be disappointed. read more

This spot is a Detroit Staple. Everything from the coffee to the nuts are delicious! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable on all of their drinks. They are more than willing to help you decide what to order if you are a newer coffee drinker! There is indoor seating but then again it's in the heart of the Eastern Market, so you may want to grab some coffee and nuts and walk around. read more
