New Order Coffee

Let’s start with your morning coffee. New Order’s goal is “to delight and energize your everyday life.” And they do that with personalized coffee with five different roast levels.

Their choices of coffee include: Brazil Flor De Ipe – with toffee almond, and toasted mallow; Like a Virgin Decaf – smooth caramel, chocolate and toasted nuts;

Everyday Espresso – chocolate, spiced rum, and peanuts; Guatemala Atitlan – nutty, cola, molasses and other choices.

Note: New Order Coffee has moved out of downtown Detroit and is now in St Clair Shores, however, the coffee is soooo good that I wanted to leave them in this article.
