New Order Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Saint Clair Shores

My fiancé and I came early Sunday morning before church on Mother’s Day. It was approximately 10:45AM. There was ample street parking. There was not a long wait (maybe 2 people ahead of us.) I noticed that some people were sitting outside in their patio area. We decided to dine in and sit on the bar stools by the window. The coffee shop seemed like a hidden gem. It was small and quaint but adorable. I was surprised to see the coffee beans in the side room being processed. I ordered the caramel latte with almond milk and he ordered the vanilla latte. We decided to share the chorizo burrito. The coffee was so smooth and was pure perfection! The burrito was delightful. It came with a dipping sauce and a guacamole mixture. The only thing that made our visit less than perfect was the customer service. No one greeted us as we entered the restaurant. No one smiled. Everyone seemed irritable for some reason. It wasn’t even busy. Some other customers complimented their flowers on the outside flower boxes, but the conversation seemed dry. None of that staff even greeted customers with children to say, “Happy Mother’s Day!” A lot of the scones and burritos were sold out, so there was a short wait for ours. However, extra customers should have been expecting and prepared for. Additionally, a cheerful greeting and attitude would have been appreciated. I’d still give them another try because everyone is entitled...

Updated: I came back after the owner asked me to give a second chance and tried the caramel latte, hibiscus latte, and hot cocoa in addition to the chai latte.

It was a bit awkward coming in when the staff, although polite, rather avoided making conversation this time.

They have indoor seating now. And the hot cocoa was dark chocolate and delicious. The caramel latte reminded me of Dunkin Donuts' caramel latte. And the hibiscus was not doing it.

Thanks so much for asking me back!

I saw the reviews and wanted to check this place out.

The owner was super nice and quite conversational. He told me about how they reopened in November, how their customers kept them going through covid, how they're getting some seats installed and had a new window installed, and how the brewery next door shares outdoor seating with them in the summer.

But I had to give 2 stars because the drink I bought tasted so bitter I had to throw it out. And the pop tart (cute idea) just doesn't compare in taste, aesthetic, or size to other cafes)/coffee near me.

There weren't any temporary seating options and parking was very confusing to find.

Only take-out is available during the winter months until they get some seating...

I went in here on a search for fresh roasted beans! I was recently gifted a breville and have been trying to nail the extractions. I was down on my luck and we don’t live in Seattle but I did my research and I looked through hours of reviews. I decided to give this place a try! And boy was I happy I did. First off fresh beans, make a huge difference. Secondly if you’re someone like me who doesn’t have all day to dial in a machine to get it right, well you’re in luck with the fresh beans here! And they will grind them perfectly for you! The guy who helped me was really nice and understood where my frustrations were coming from. Gave me advice on how they make their coffee drinks and sent my on my way! I was so thankful for this store and staff on this particular visit. I came in without coffee in my blood stream for several days and I was not feeling very positive or pleasant. But as soon as I got home and followed his instructions I would’ve honestly drove back just to thank him one more time. I’m glad I tipped in my order because I have not gone a day without coffee since! I will be back for more beans! And just the friendly vibes definitely going to try a...
