So, what do you do when @coffeeatblackcat has their ESPRESSO MACHINES DOWN in the middle of the day?! This is beyond violently sacrilegious as Seattleites. Oh, the heartbreak! Providentially, we found around the corner @lighthousecoffeemc! After we had a most wonderful, redemptive experience I had to learn more about the name. This is a nonprofit cafe, helping teens that have aged out of the foster system. LOVE. THIS. IDEA. I did not realize how much that cup of Mexican Mocha was going to a good cause! Heartwarming. When we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed openly. The vibe was superchill. Very spacious. I would suggest they add few real potted plants to warm up the place. When we ordered, she cautioned it was spicy; it was great. It was cool to see they sold baked goods from a local small business @jensscones. Photodocumented the experience with more details. Sadly, downtown Mt. Clemens is only metered street or lot parking; saw the parking enforcer walking around and checking meters. Overall, lovely first impression, lovely drinks, and will come back and support this lovely cause. Thank you, Lighthouse Coffee, for caring for orphans. read more
