Nova Cafe

detroit's specialty coffee scene has been building real momentum over the past decade, with independent shops holding their own against every wave of national expansion. nova cafe, out on ford road in garden city, sits in that suburban stretch west of the city proper where good coffee can feel harder to find. but people find it. the shop has built the kind of following that doesn't happen casually, regulars who return not out of habit but because the place consistently delivers. if you're driving out along ford road and need a reason to stop, this is it. the cortado's a solid place to start.
