yeah, and I go there all the time. but to breakdown annalouise's conclusion:

coffee shop that always full but with way too much overhead= "Ann Arborite ideal of what Detroiters should drink"

coffee shop that was always empty but had Mexican art on the wall= "what Detroiters actually want"

annalouise sounds like another one of those anti-gentrification uberlefty nutters who is doing no one a service by repeating the falsehood that MCB was somehow not serving the Detroit community [[i.e. that mind-bogglingly insulting "review" in the MT). every time I was in there, I saw people who were enjoying good coffee: black and white, working class and hipster/yuppie. It's so insulting and patronizing to say that this was some "Ann Arborite ideal of what Detroiters should drink" when there were plenty of Detroiters there voting with their wallets while cafe con leche sat empty.
