A city that is no stranger to the delicious art of coffee and tea, Royal Oak houses some of the best places to grab a cup of your favorite pick-me-up. With a variety of shops ranging from comfortable to sleek and motivating, the drink is only the beginning. These stops offer a quiet spot for your next study session with a friend or solo time to focus on homework. Here are a few of our favorite coffee and tea shops in downtown Royal Oak:
The Office Coffee Shop
The Office Coffee Shopis located just steps from Baker’s newest college campus. As a space based on coffee, coworking and community, it defines itself as “a business hub where everyone can meet, work and be social over great coffee.” The shop itself is set up to allow for any type of work you may need to complete. The layout includes a conference room, private offices, co-working tables and ‘The Garage’.
Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters
Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters is a metro-Detroit favorite with locations in Rochester Hills, Downtown Detroit and right here in Royal Oak. The shop hosts a relaxed vibe with live music on evenings and weekends. Menu items range from standard house coffee to expertly-crafted lattes, complete with latte art foam and house-made syrups.
Atomic Coffee
Independently owned and operated, Atomic Coffee is one of the most innovative coffee shops in Royal Oak. The shop offers exciting menu items including a nitro cold brew float – a nitrogen-infused cold brew topped with a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream. The café also offers an abundance of seating, perfect for studying or meeting up with friends.
Goldfish Tea
If coffee isn’t your cup of tea, don’t stress – Royal Oak is also home to Goldfish Tea. Here you can enjoy sofa or table seating while sipping on a variety of teas – including leaf and bubble
Proving Grounds Coffee and Ice Cream
Comfort is served in a cup at Proving Grounds Coffee and Ice Cream. With endless options and a variety of food offerings, this shop is the perfect place to spend a day relaxing, studying or socializing with friends. The coffee is hand roasted in small batches, so a fresh cup of joe is guaranteed.
As coffee makes the day brighter, we couldn’t be more excited to open a Baker campus in a city with so many café options. Whether you’re cramming for a big exam, working on a group project or having a night out, rest assured Royal Oak has the perfect space for you.
