I read a negative review below about how Lucky's coffee isn't as good and to go to LeRouge and I think this person has it backwards. I love Lucky's coffee. It's creamy, nutty, and consistent.
Jason, the barista, is far more than a slinger of caffeinated libations. He is a cultivator of community and camaraderie, always so pleasant to chat with. He always remembers me, the warmth of which you won't find at Red Hook Indian Village. It's everything you could want in a local coffee shop.
However, my one suggestion for refinement (and why I took off one star) is the baked goods. The croissants, in particular, are devoid of the joie de vivre one expects from such a French patisserie classic. Their almond croissant’s frangipane doesn't possess that dense creaminess, and its dough is bereft of that crispy flakiness as you'll find elsewhere. A modest proposition: perhaps Lucky's could source their croissants from Golden Wheat in Warren (also a revered supplier to Atomic Coffee in Royal Oak).
All in all, I would absolutely recommend Lucky's coffee--not just for their coffee but for the experience, steeped in authenticity and charm.
Going on a walk or coming after a yoga class? Check it out! Or just go because you need your morning fix. It's one of my favorite coffee shops to go to and I don't need to drive all the way to Red Hook Indian...

Updating my review with Lucky's response/threat... "This is an interesting review we have hundreds of people that love our coffee. We are actually a coffee house that roasts our own coffee unlike the place you mentioned. I will make sure that we show the same love for your at your position / job at the university of Detroit Mercy."
I guess they didn't like my opinion about their product, but I don't know if doxxing me and threating me is a great way to handle things. Maybe they need to just focus on roasting better beans or not adding burnt flavored syrups to their product. My review was one of multiple...
