A mocha poured into a perfect rosette by Hannah Atkinson, shop manager for Comet Coffee, which opened for business in Highlands Plaza on August 15.There's coffee, and then there's coffee. The former is typically cheap and exists to get us through the day, while the latter is responsible for swoons and weakened knees at the simple utterance of "Blue Bottle" or "Intelligentsia." The small, passionate and tightly knit group of self-proclaimed coffee nerds behind newly opened Comet Coffee (5708 Oakland Avenue; 734-222-0579) live and breathe for the seductive beverage in its finest forms. More Comet Coffee photos.
