This is a wonderful little place that does amazing things for the community, they are friendly, down to earth & truly care about what they do. I am glad to see the local community has such a place that gives back so much to the people that truly keep the business going - the community itself. The beverage choices are amazing, you can get most everything under the sun with all different pour over options and everything. If you love coffee(and in my case if you're from Australia) you'll love it. It's pretty close to getting coffee from home which is always welcome. Keep up the great work and I look forward to grabbing a few more beverages from this lovely place.

First of all, immediately, the atmosphere was so cute and welcoming. The service was great and super quick, and best of all, the coffee was amazing! Definitely will be back

Went to the grand opening of their new cafe! I had a mocha latte with oat milk. The espresso was delicious. The atmosphere was very comfy and cozy. There was also a woman selling art in a separate part of the cafe. My friend had an iced cafe miel and said it was fire (that means it was good). There's outdoor seating, which was great for the amount of people that were there for the grand opening. I love this coffee brand, and the company is doing great things all around. I'm excited they have their own spot now!

This place has outstanding coffee, you could even say premium coffee. They also donate 10% of their profits to local non-profits in the area. Excellent coffee bettering our community small business I enjoy supporting. Coffees range from about 3 to 8 depending on what you order. They also have baked goods from Rise Bakery which are all GF and dairy free, and they are so good (and I don't even have those allergies). Malamiah juice is available for purchase as well. Highly recommend getting some coffee and a pastry from this great establishment!

I really enjoy Last Mile Cafe! The Last Miel, a play on words about the classic Cafe Miel, is delicious! It’s a black owned coffee shop in a black neighborhood, soon to see an economic comeback. Every time I come in, I meet my neighbors, known and unknown. Last Mile is doing what all good coffee shops do, bringing people together around a beverage beloved worldwide. Thanks Last Mile Cafe!

When I visited Last Mile Cafe I got the pour over black coffee. A manual brew is my preferred method for coffee and Last Mile does a great job. I would highly recommend checking out Last Mile Cafe and I most definitely will be back for another amazing cup of coffee.

Love this place! I first encountered Last Mile Cafe at the Fulton Street Farmers Market, and since then it’s been my go-to spot for coffee meet-ups. Love that this business is driven by ethics and heart! And thank you for your recent collaboration with Rank MI Vote! Cheers to great coffee and better voting for all!

Great, relaxing atmosphere and great coffee, and even more so great hospitality. I had a conversation with Arick, one of the owners, and he definitely embodies some of the goals he talks about for the shop. After a previous visit, I couldn't find a personal item of mine, and when I called to see if they had seen it, Arick went above and beyond. Hoping for more and more success for them as their brick and mortar has only been up for about 10 months. Go stop in!
