  Stella Good Coffee is a nice addition to the Fisher Building, and a convenient place for New Center Area workers and theatergoers to go for coffee, tea, or a light meal. It's classic ambiance and décor fit right in with the look of the Fisher Building's lobby.
  
  Those of you who have followed my reviews for some time may know that I don't typically drink coffee. If I go to a café, it will usually be for tea or kombucha. Stella Good Coffee has a limited menu for non-coffee drinkers along with tea, latte, and juice. I can't attest to how Stella's coffee tastes, but I was able to try several of its non espresso drinks during a very generous 50% discount special for civil servant workers during the month of August.
  
  I tried Stella's Matcha Latte, Chai Latte, and Black Tea with lavender. I give a thumbs up for the lattes. The talented barista did an excellent job of making latte art on the foam of my Matcha Latte.  The Black Tea is good on its own but can be sweetened with any of the six syrups listed at the bottom of the menu.
  
  I haven't bought any pastries, but I was able to try several samples of the chocolate chip cookie and date bar, and I recommend both. Very tasty.
  
  Service is friendly and helpful. Seating is limited inside with two tables at the back of the café. There are a handful of tables outside of the café in the Fisher Building lobby.

  This little coffee shop sits conveniently in front of the Fisher Theater. Having gotten to the theater much earlier than expected and despite having a large breakfast, I was drawn to the lit-up space.
  
  At the front of the café, there are stacks of cookies. While they are not baked on the premises, the majority of them are from the well-regarded Milano Bakery. The Smiley cookie looked cute and happy, probably for younger theater-goers, while the oatmeal raisin and date bar appealed to more mature palates. There were also stacks of sugar cookies, chocolate chip, and my fave, the black and white.
  
  Usually, I have to have these cookies sent to me from a bakery in New York so, of course, I chose the black and white ones.
  
  The cookie was lightly covered in a thin layer of white cream, on one half, and chocolate on the other half. The taste and crisp texture were unexpected but still good. There is no consensus as to what this cookie should taste like so I appreciated this version as much as the ones from my NY bakery.
  
  They also provide a variety of coffees and teas but I try to limit coffee on the weekend so I abstained. Luckily, I did not get drowsy in the theater, which, unfortunately, has happened before.
  
  The woman taking our orders was extraordinarily friendly. I appreciated her smiling face and positive attitude.
  
  A few tables were tucked in the back. A small ledge was at the front, butting the windows. As well, there are numerous tables out front to have a conversation or people watch.

  Very small, but quite charming coffee shop in the Fisher Building. We had just taken a tour of the Fisher Building (thank you, Pure Detroit!), and I needed a pick me up. Stella couldn't be more convenient. Ended up getting an iced matcha, which was a little light on the matcha for me, but it was cold and gave me a small afternoon caffeine boost. Very good service, and very cute place in a gorgeous location!

  This is a cute coffee shop in the Fisher Building that makes a good waiting place for theater goers. I came here with a friend after she won tickets to Hamilton and we had to be there early to get the tickets. The coffee shop had tables to sit at after you have ordered your beverages.
  
  The amazing thing was the gluten free options that this coffee shop had including baked goods which never happens. I ordered the cookie and a mocha with almond milk. It was the the right amount of food and the drink came out at the right temperature. We enjoyed people watching as we were waiting. It was nice to be able to sit and and enjoy our drinks without feeling rushed.
  
  I did not know that this place existed and now that I do, I will definitely be back. I typically go to a couple of shows a year and this place will now be on my radar as a place to go for gluten free items near the Fisher.

  One of the best lattes I've ever had! I would definitely be back! Great service... a must see if in the Detroit area. We walked around the fisher building and enjoyed all the beautiful architectural structures and paintings in ceiling.
