Start a casual coffee-and-bite outing in Birmingham, MI with organic coffee at Daycap Coffee on E Maple Road, where natural light indoors and patio seating give you two places to settle in. Tea and pastries are on the menu, too, alongside sandwiches, salads and soups. For a smoothie-led start instead, Tropical Smoothie Cafe on Woodward Avenue offers custom smoothies, sandwiches and wraps in a quiet, casual setting with counter service. Then choose your bite by format: Grano PizzAiolo makes artisanal brick-oven pizzas and offers carry-out, dine-in and delivery, while Old World Pizzeria on N Old Woodward Avenue centers its specialty pies on scratch-made fermented dough and local ingredients.
