Yellow Light Coffee and Donuts

Yellow Light Coffee and Donuts is a beloved Detroit institution serving the city since 2017 from their flagship location at 14447 E Jefferson Ave in the Rivertown neighborhood. This artisan donut shop and micro-roastery has become a cornerstone of the Detroit food scene, drawing locals and visitors alike with its commitment to quality and community. The shop specializes in handcrafted donuts made fresh daily, featuring both classic flavors like Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, and Plain Old Fashioned alongside creative seasonal offerings such as Brown Butter Plantain, Cherry Almond, and Key Lime. Their house-roasted coffee beans are drum-roasted on-site, available in light, medium, and dark roasts including the popular Midnight Oil dark roast. The menu extends beyond donuts to include hearty biscuit sandwiches with options like Fried Chicken with Maple Glaze, Hot Chicken with Pickles, and the classic Chicken Sausage and Cheddar. Coffee enthusiasts can enjoy drip coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, and the refreshing Coffee Slushie. With two convenient locations including their Michigan Central Station outpost, Yellow Light offers drive-thru service with hours Monday through Friday 7am to 2pm and weekends 8am to 3pm at Jefferson, making it the perfect morning stop for Detroiters seeking exceptional coffee and fresh-baked goods.
