A Coffee Crawl Through Troy, MI
Updated September 25, 2026
Troy has more independent coffee than its reputation suggests — it is just spread across four corridors instead of one street. Run this east to west and the whole crawl is about twenty minutes of driving.
## 1. Monday Coffee Club — East Troy
[Monday Coffee Club](/places/monday-coffee-club) at 1860 E Big Beaver Rd holds a 5.0 Google rating. Coffee is the whole offering, which is a good sign. Start here before the corridor fills up.
## 2. Utopia Coffee — Big Beaver Corridor
[Utopia Coffee](/places/utopia-coffee) at 766 W Big Beaver Rd describes itself as an artisanal cafe and makes its own syrups and sauces in house. Rated 4.7 on Google. This is the stop where you order something you would not make at home.
## 3. HTEA CAFE — Somerset District
[HTEA CAFE](/places/htea-cafe) at 2891 W Maple Rd is an Asian-owned, Asian-inspired café whose menu spans handcrafted teas, fruit drinks and specialty beverages as well as coffee. Rated 4.8 on Google. Bring anyone in your group who does not drink coffee.
## 4. Emari Roast Cafe Troy — Somerset District
[Emari Roast Cafe Troy](/places/emari-roast-cafe-troy) at 987 Wilshire Dr, Suite C, is a short hop from HTEA and lists coffee and tea among its highlights. Rated 4.6 on Google. Quieter than the Big Beaver shops, and a better place to sit for an hour.
## 5. % Percent Coffee — Maple Road Corridor
[% Percent Coffee](/places/percent-coffee) at 1010 E Maple Rd was founded by two friends with the aim of bringing people together over coffee and pastries. Rated 4.5 on Google. Finish here, with something baked.
## If you want bread with it
[Ridley's Bakery Cafe](/places/ridley-s-bakery-cafe) at 4054 Rochester Rd bakes bread and pastries each morning and serves sandwiches and coffee — a local fixture and a fine fourth-or-fifth stop if you are running the crawl up Rochester instead. [Sourdough Ida](/places/sourdough-ida) at 1969 W South Blvd is the northern equivalent, with organic sourdough as the stated focus.
Five shops is a lot of caffeine. Two in the morning and two after lunch is the sane version.
