👋 Sam here, highlighting one of my new favorite places to read and work.
State of play: I'm participating in a weekly book club that meets Tuesday evenings at Forest City Brewery, in Duck Island.
I've made it a ritual to bike to nearby Edda Coffee, on the ground floor of the Intro building, an hour or so beforehand to do some last-minute prep.
Vibe check: My go-to coffee shop has long been Gypsy Beans, in Detroit-Shoreway.
But Edda's tall ceilings and array of seating options — outdoor tables, high-tops, intimate living-room furniture, study carrels — won me over.
What I drank: A pour-over coffee featuring house-roasted "Intro" beans, sourced from small farms in Brazil, with undertones of walnut and dark chocolate.
Edda also offers a limited selection of beer, wine and house cocktails.
Stop by: Hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday, 7:30am-6pm on weekends.
