Illy Espressamente

My favorite spot at DTW. Staff is always amazingly friendly and accommodating. Coffee is wonderful and they have great cannoli :-) very comfortable dining area with view of the fountain, a relaxing place to enjoy a layover.

I was surprised to see an Illy in Detroit airport. Haven’t seen too many of the actual coffee shop throughout the states. This illy coffee shop is located almost mid point of the airport, right next to the water fountain. Is small, cute and definitely clean (big plus). Like most coffee shops nowadays you will find your pastries, hot /​cold snacks, etc. While ordering I found it funny when I asked for lactose free milk. I figured they will either say sure we have it or no, we don’t have it but we have xxxxx. But anyways when I asked for the lactose free milk she said almond milk or soy milk, so I asked her again just regular lactose free milk as she look confused. So we went back and forth about lactose free milk, soy milk and almond milk until we came to the conclusion that she did not have lactose free milk but she had other options such as the previously mentioned. So I opted for the soy milk. As a snack I ended up getting the very «healthy» almond croissant. The orders were delivered very quick even though I had 2 people in front of me.
Let me tell you that I like my coffee strong and YES they delivered for my latte! So if you don’t like it too strong then let them know. The croissant was not too sweet nor too dry, just perfect to have with your latte (no sugar added in the coffee).
I would definitely come back to this location when I’m Detroit but will make sure to tell them Soy milk instead of lactose free milk haha. Peace!
