I found coffee, happy plants, and cozy vibes at dose. detroit

"Cozy' and "neighborly" are two words that popped into my head when I attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new café and plant shop in Detroit's Midtown neighborhood today.

Having had the idea for a couple years, co-owners Alan Alexander and Adam Cichy opened last November but waited until warmer weather for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Key in making this happen was a $70,000 Motor City Match grant to help with construction, equipment, and furniture.

I enjoyed light snacks made by Alan, and I sipped a warm, honey vanilla latte.

With training at the Culinary Institute of America and an eye for design, the owners created a space that made me want to return.

On the menu you'll find coffee and tea, plus lunch items like chicken salad sandwiches, and smoke salmon carpaccio.

Plus, there's unique home goods, and you will be given care guidance if you purchase a plant.

Alcohol may be in the future as Alan and Adam are working on obtaining a liquor license.
