Old Redford's business district will add a coffee shop to its roster when Motor City Java House opens this fall. The shop will be located at 17336 Lahser in the Artist Village.
Owner Alicia Marion envisions the space as a mix of old and new: "It will feel like walking into your kitchen, your living area, the favorite place in your house."
There will be a tin ceiling, ceramic tile flooring and earth tones as well as educational plaques on the walls. The adjacent garden will provide ingredients for sandwiches as well as a useful home for coffee grounds.
Motor City Java House will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. six days a week and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. Expect later hours when the Redford Theatre has a show. "We want people to have a well-rounded experience when they come to this neighborhood," says Marion.
