Our Alumni Roots
Our Shared Love of Coffee
Our journey began in the heart of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where a simple idea blossomed into a shared passion. We all love coffee—not just for the rich aroma or the comforting warmth of a well-brewed cup, but for the way it brings us together.
Over the years, our love for coffee has fueled countless meetings and lively conversations across various coffee shops throughout the Metro Detroit area. These gatherings have not only strengthened our bonds but also sparked new ideas and collaborations, all over our favorite cups of coffee.
From the bustling streets of downtown Detroit to the cozy corners of suburban cafes, our connection to coffee continues to grow. It's more than a drink; it's a ritual that keeps us connected and inspired, no matter where we are.
