☕ Joe here with a dispatch from a Corktown coffee shop.
Dig in: I stopped by James Oliver Coffee Co. on Michigan Avenue after checking out the recently sold condo in today's newsletter.
My last visit to the property was years ago when it was the Detroit Institute of Bagels.
The vibe: Trendy coffee shop with plenty of breakfast and lunch options, including bagels, pastries and sandwiches.
What I ordered: The turkey cheddar sandwich on a sesame bagel ($11) and a large coffee ($3.75).
The ingredients were quality and the sandwich was well constructed, but I left wishing I ordered something more adventurous, like the Thanksgiving-inspired stuffing sandwich with turkey, cranberry sauce and gravy. (There's also a stuffing-flavored bagel with celery, apple, sage and more.)
If you go: 1236 Michigan Ave.; open seven days a week, 7am-3pm.
There's another location in the Guardian Building that's open Monday-Friday, 8am-2pm.
