Cafe con Leche, formerly in the Mexicantown Mercado, has relocated to W. Vernor and Scotten, fronting Clark Park. "It's a great location and it looks more like a coffee shop," says Vittoria Katanski, Southwest Detroit Business Association's director of marketing.
The new space is located in the same row of storefronts as Tropical Day Spa, at 4200 W. Vernor. Call 248-736-1196.
Hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
