Devries & Co 1887

Love this store. The cheese, tea and food selection downstairs are fantastic. And the upper floors with their various Michigan made products and metal sculptures include so many unique items perfect for gifts or home decor. They also have one of the oldest working elevators in Detroit (though it’s staff only, so don’t try to use it!). Megan, Karen and the rest of the staff are also a pleasure to regularly see and get help from. Just keep in mind while shopping here- their cheeses aren’t all out on display like in many delis. They are in the cooler behind the counter, but the staff is more than happy to explain all of the options they have that day and let you see or sample anything you’re interested in. I’m very much a visual shopper so this was something I was surprised by, but it makes sense when they go through various unique types so often. If you’re already in the area, highly recommend walking around and browsing all of the murals nearby. They change about every one or two years and are always incredibly done.
