+BOVBSZt43 Tucked inside the Ponyride building on Vermont Street sits Anthology Coffee, where you can expect far more than your aver- age cup of joe. Husband-and-wife team Josh and Anne Longsdorf started Anthology four years ago. They describe Anthology as a tast- ing room — a welcoming space where customers are encouraged to interact and ask questions about coffee. Guests can also expect a service-oriented experience. Your coffee is served directly at your table, along with the option of cream and sugar. At Anthology, customers can sample single origin beans from around the globe, which are roasted and brewed as either a pour-over or espresso drink. You won't find a standard menu, allowing for an open-ended ordering experience. While you won't find "venti" sizes at Anthology, the coffee delivers just the right amount of caffeine. Their latte, in particular, is simply perfect. The next time you find your- self in Detroit, stop in Anthology for a hot beverage with an optional side of coffee talk.
