The Office Coffee Shop

I just had an awesome chat with Miles, a member of the Office Coffee Shop staff. I just love his attitude and the way he lights up when he is helping a customer. He goes above and beyond the job description. Like when I was eating my delicious El Cubano sandwich that his colleague made. You all must try it! At one point I got full and when he walked over to see if anyone needed anything, which I love, I asked if he had a carry out container. He right away offered to take the sandwich and box it up for me.

He always has a smile on his face and a bounce in his step. That's what the Office Coffee Shop does for customers like me. You may come in to get some work done or have a chat with a friend. Whatever issues you have, the friendly, laid back, homey, cozy atmosphere really helps you to chill and be productive. Plus the food and drinks are yummy.

It's snowing as I look outside their huge windows and write this. But as I prepare to go out into the cold I will leave with a smile on my face and a bounce in my step. Thanks Office Coffee Shop for being an awesome Royal Oak locally-owned business. Keep up the good work!

Quickly becoming the best coffee shop in Royal Oak if not the entire metro Detroit area. The ambiance is quite unique and the whole set up is very inviting. The baristas sometimes experiment with new blends and part of your purchase goes to charity. I've lived in Royal Oak for about 2 months and come here every other day.

I was looking for a place to study for a bit and this place is very conducive to getting work done. Free wifi, great coffee, a percentage of proceeds goes to charity, and overall an excellent setup.

They have nice private meeting rooms that have very reasonable rates to use for group meetings.

I give a 4-star review instead of a 5-star review because I felt a “cold, removed” vibe from the staff. Specifically, right as I was about to leave, I needed to offer a prayer (I am Muslim) and I figured I could ask the staff if it would be okay to use a meeting room (at least two of which were empty and open) to offer my prayer (which would take 2 min max).

The response I was given was “Sorry, I’m not supposed to let anyone who doesn’t pay use the rooms”. I clarified that I would only need the room for at most 2 min but was declined. Though this is entirely within the right of the store to decline my request and to have policies for the fairness of all customers, great customer service and “warm and welcoming” staff generally accommodate and flex policies to garner customer appreciation. I wasn’t asking for much. Instead I had to pray next to my car on wet ground on a rainy day in January. I guess I could have offered to pay $0.50 to use the room for two minutes ($15/hr)...but most business don’t nickel and dime as such.

Again, I am not saying that I was not treated well or that the staff said anything wrong, I just don’t feel that the staff really cared to go the extra step to make my experience wonderful.

Love the idea and the concept. This location is a great coffee shop with ample room to study and doubles as a new business office. The Office coffee shop has presentation rooms, conference rooms and space that you can rent for small business or colleague get togethers. The food and snacks are pretty good and the coffee is good. I think it is nice that they donate to a rotating charity every month. The owner is a really good guy as well!

First time visitor and I'm instantly a regular. The place is dog friendly which is all you really need to know. To sweeten the deal, the Manager Miles gave me the most welcoming introduction to the shop, the city, and everything in between. The level of hospitality here is completely unmatched in the Greater Detroit Area. Kona and I love this place already.

Good coffee shop that is convenient to meet downtown.

I've been coming to The Office almost every week (two-punch Tuesday ftw) for over a year now and have really enjoyed the great atmosphere and sense of community here. It's truly a fantastic place to study or meet. It has consistently been clean, always has a great playlist going and has very delicious drinks--with a portion of your payment going to a charity of your choice, to boot! Manager Miles is the perfect face of the business! He's extremely knowledgable and passionate about the coffee craft (check the pour-over tattoo on his arm) and is very creative with caffeine (seriously, give him a couple preferences to work with and he'll be sure to concoct your new favorite drink)! His cheery attitude and friendly personality brighten my day every time that I come in!

We wanted to do some work out of our hotel and this place was just the ticket. Small meeting rooms are 15/hrs for dropins, and you have handy coffee and snacks just on the other side of the door. Good coffee too. When you're done, the town is worth a wander around for a drink or a bite.

The atmosphere is cool. Staff isn't the friendliest though.

great atmosphere to hang out and study plus they have great coffee
