We love Spkrbox! Drinks music and people are all great. I enjoy the coffee drinks as well as the cocktails. A couple of my favs are the spiked cold brew (forget name) and the I75. It's cozy and you can go upstairs. Baristas/bartenders are cool and know what they're doing. Love the vibes snd energy. They have Deejays which is a nice touch, especially during the morning/day. read more

My girlfriend was giving me a tour of Detroit and she spotted an old friend outside of here so we spent a hot minute trying to find parking and made our way over. I went in to grab my girlfriend a coffee and I got coconut water as well as something to snack on. Gentlemen behind the counter was very informative on Detroit. There was outdoor seating which my girlfriend and I spent some time after her friend left to work. Was nice watching the traffic drive by and seeing the sun set on the city. Cool spot, not easy for people in wheelchairs, especially the bathroom. read more

Funky place... it's small but charming. DJ was spinning sick tunes. Great view of the city from the second floor. Espresso martini a bit weak and pricy but overall a fun time. read more

Drinks and ambiance are next level. I got the Pure Evil Latte and it was incredible. Super fun spot to hit if you like good coffee and good vibes. read more

Awesome atmosphere, amazing drinks. The bartender, Wolf, is the man. perfect balance in the drinks and very unique.

I love this neighborhood coffee shop and bar all in one place. Very cool vibe. Relaxed feel. Retro, colorful decor. Intimate space. They have upstairs seating too but I didn't make it up there for photos. I enjoyed my window view. Fast and friendly service. Yummy coffee and lattes. I loved my Pure Evil Latte, with espresso, cherry, amoretto, and steamed milk. Delicious! They have beer, cocktails, and boozy coffees too. I plan on being a regular here. There are so many more menu items I want to try. read more

Spkrbox - A time was had okay - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Customer service is terrible especially if you're not the same race as the barista. You'll be ignored while he chats away with customers that have been seated and helped while you stand at the counter in humiliation. Requested for a Spanish/ caramel latte but guess what was made for me..... it's called and I kid you not, Pure Evil Latte!!! poor quality coffee or possibly an unprofessional barista. ‍ read more

Spkrbox - Pure Evil Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I went here Wednesday June 12, around 1:30p or so. Typical work day so there was no customers in there really. Probably 2 ppl came in while i was there... The staff was friendly/nice. We discussed alot. I liked the espresso martini but it had a lil too much milk to me. The other drink i tried, the El Duderino was amazing! I'll be back... i ordered food from Iggys as suggested & it was soooo worth it. & i got to sit on Spkrbox street patio while enjoying it & the Detroit outdoor experience! read more

I absolutely love unique place like this. They have coffee options in the morning and they have really unique cocktails in the evening/afternoon. The location is really cool because it's just tucked on the edge of the building. It's two stories very cozy. The decoration takes you back to a different time but with a modern twist. There was DJ at the time that we were there, but the set up looked really cool. The cocktail that I had was delicious it was a walnut Manhattan. The bartender was awesome. He was super friendly made great drinks. I would definitely stop by here again. read more

A little mid-century gem. I love any place that has coffee AND cocktails + they're open all the time (to satisfy which-ever vice you're craving). My favorite latte is the green fairy latte (pistachio and white chocolate- yum!), but they offer an array of yummy coffees and a full service bar. The upstairs seating is super fun and looks out over the corner of Griswold and Grand River St. They typically have a DJ during the weekends and it stays busy so be prepared for limited seating. Staff is always friendly too! read more

These racists were being rude because of my skin color today! Service was extremely disrespectful and unwelcoming. Would not recommend to anyone as it's a hostile environment. read more

Fun vibes and friendly service at this place, as well as great people watching. I love that they offer both cocktails and coffee drinks.

My sister, her boyfriend, and I stopped here after seeing a musical at the Detroit Opera House. This place is located on a corner and has a cool, 70's/retro vibe to it. There are seats upstairs and a few seats near the bar on the main floor. They have a great list of coffee and cocktails. The bartender was so nice and was so much fun to talk to. I ordered the Espresso Martini that is made of vodka, St. George Nola, coffee reduction, milk, sugar, and is topped with three coffee beans. It tasted amazing and was so smooth! I could definitely just drink these all night. I also tried my sister's drink, which was called the Homerton. It's a take on the old fashioned. It's made with whiskey, Dolin dry, Carpano Antiga, coffee reduction, and bitters. it was also very good and smooth! read more

Amazing Espresso Martini's. Amazing Vibe. Amazing bartender. Amazing design. They do not take song requests - learnt the hard way. P.s. Suki is the best. read more

I went in and had an old fashioned which was pretty strong and tasty! The ambiance at night is really great- especially if you can find a seat upstairs looking out at the city lights and listening to the DJ playing from a very easy on the ears curated set. The service was good and the bartender was friendly and offered recs for what else to do in Detroit. read more

I absolutely love this place. The drinks are so so good and the staff is always friendly. I love how you walk in at a cute bar but can go upstairs to another cozy area that often has a DJ or go downstairs on the weekend nights to the club area. Every aspect is well designed and beautiful. The drinks are not outrageously priced either and even the pastries are good. read more

Spkrbox - Upstairs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

DJ was pumping out the jams when we arrived to grab coffee and tea this morning. This spot serves as both a coffee/tea spot by day and a bar by night. There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic coffee options and various flavors that that can be added to your coffee or tea - Caramel, Lavender, Vanilla, Pistachio. The space overall is pretty unique with bar taking center stage on street level and DJ booth upstairs and downstairs, which isn't open during the day. Overall a cool spot to checkout in the downtown area. read more

I was visiting the city and happened on this spot as it was near my hotel. I loved the vibe, the barista was nice and had a great flow of serving as he was the only person doing so. Everyone however is patient for their specialty drink. The DJ upstairs played great house music. I went upstairs, enjoyed the vibes and read a book. I ordered the Pure Evil Latte which was very tasteful. If you are a resident make this your go-to spot. read more

This place was a curious find. We were walking and secretly craving coffee but also a drink. And lo and behold... Spkrbox. Blink and you'll miss it! It has the footprint of a walk-in closet! But a very cool spot with a second floor seating area and DJ booth, basement club area, and some pretty dope coffee-based cocktails. The server was friendly and informative. read more

Ordered a matcha latte. Watched the guy stir the matcha. Never put it in the cup. Got my latte and it was coffee. It was brown. Tasted exactly like coffee.

Spkrbox - Pistachio cappuccino. Nice and hot. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

One of my favorite bars downtown! They have great drinks and there's cheap-no cover to see some great Detroit djs. It gets hot upstairs, but they have a lot of refreshing cocktails - the I-75 is my favorite. I definitely recommend their Sunday night event - foggy sundays! read more

The service was not professional. The dj actually came up to our table and dumped a drink on my lap because I asked on a Monday night if it was possible to turn the music down because we couldn't hear ourselves speak. I approached the manager and he explained that the dj was in the right to pour a drink on a costumer's lap no matter the issue. read more

I was been here about 10 years ago, now things have changed, but this lovely place still be the best corner of downtown Detroit of my heart. (Even the location is not good in Feng Shui風水, it's okay to have a drink or hang out here, but I won't LIVE IN here ;-) The staff was very friendly and patient. He didn't mind my poor English, tried his best to understand what I wanted and made the drink perfectly. The price was reasonable as well. 絕佳的市區位置，也是風水中絕佳的「萬箭穿心」格。 read more

Let me start by saying, this has been one of my most recommended places to visit for friends traveling near and far. Being a resident of the city and living a block away makes this a convenient spot to frequent. During the week I come here often and on the weekends if I have friends visiting the city it's always a go to spot with music and good vibes. However, tonight when arriving with friends we were met at the door at 1am telling us there was a cover charge. As a group, we made the decision that paying $10 each to get in the door with only 30/40 minutes before "last call" just didn't make sense. We asked if we just stayed upstairs (in leu of going downstairs to their club area) and had a drink they would waive cover, we were met with an immediate "NO". With the upstairs being occupied by less than 8 people, it was a very interesting answer, as you would think a place like this would chose to make money where they could and wouldn't turn people down, especially since there's plenty of other bars in the area not charging cover and happy for the business... not this place, a little smugness is what we were met with. After getting turned down to sit upstairs and have a couple late night drinks with friends, we asked if one of our guests could use the restroom, just a couple steps inside the door, and the gatekeeper steps in front of the door and responds with a quick "NOPE". After we begin to walk away, I mention the situation to a SPKRBOX team member who recognized us from being frequent patrons. while explaining the situation the door man comes storming up and says "that's right! This isn't a charity here". nonetheless, I was speechless. A charity? The amount of money my friends, coworkers, family, neighbors have spent in this establishment... it's a charity? It's really embarrassing that establishments in Detroit (this is one of very few) take not only business for granted, but the people that live as neighbors. After getting rejected here, we walked two blocks away to Queens Bar, gained entrance for free of charge and had a great time instead... it seems like they were appreciative of the business and happy to spend my money there moving forward. read more

Love coffee. Love the concept. I had a great drink (a Manhattan with espresso). Bar tender was super nice and relatable. They have legit espresso equipment (modbar looking). I could do without the DJ as coffee is still a sit down and socialize drink for me and it was hard to have a conversation. But that just me and I'm kinda getting old... read more

Spkrbox is such a cool spot located on the corner. Don't let the size fool you...not only do they serve up a great cup of Java, they mix up awesome cocktails. I was so impressed by the utilization of space. You must stop by and check out the live music and DJ spinning beats above. There's even a hidden....shhhh! read more

We were in the area and decided to check this place out. This location used to be a coffee shop. It still is, but they also sell some magnificent cocktails. I opted for an espresso martini and was definitely not disappointed with my choice. I honestly can't remember what he chose but either way the martini was just what I needed. We went upstairs and had a seat and enjoyed the view of the city. I love days like this. Cheers to summer starting off right! read more

I walked out side and someone pinned me to the ground, nothing said, nothing done, place is fine but the crowd outside is no it.

Great place! I think a true hidden gem. I've been twice. Once for a late night coffee and the second time for a little day drinking before brunch. Both times the bartender was great. The day cocktail was great and I was introduced to my new favorite gin. May be small but packs a very cool vibe. read more

Happy to find a late night seating place that offers coffee and lattes. However, was disappointed by the loud DJ noise from the upper level. The music could have been toned down for those on the upper level to allow conversation for guest on the main level. Not the place for my generation. read more

Very nice cocktail bar! It is an extremely central location and in walking distance of a lot. It has two stories, a sitting area on the second and a regular small bar on the first. The coffee cocktails were very good and they also do regular specialty non-alcoholic coffee and appear to be a full bar for other types of cocktails. Service was good as well. read more
