Our Story Here
Royal Oak is a Woodward Avenue town, and our cafe sits right on the strip at 31105 Woodward, just north of 13 Mile Road. This is where the morning commute meets craft coffee — we open at 7 AM on weekdays specifically because we know the Woodward corridor crowd needs their latte before the drive downtown or the shift at Beaumont Hospital.
Unlike our other locations, Royal Oak has a full kitchen. That means breakfast sandwiches, fresh pastries, and our popular Eggwich menu alongside the same locally roasted espresso and house-made syrups you'll find at every Lucky Detroit. The combination of real food and real coffee makes this location the most complete morning experience in the Royal Oak area. Regulars from Berkley, Huntington Woods, and even Madison Heights make the trip because the quality is worth the drive.
Royal Oak itself is one of Metro Detroit's most vibrant communities — a mix of young professionals, families, and longtime residents who support independent businesses. The downtown nightlife and restaurant scene draws people from across the region, and the Detroit Zoo brings families from everywhere. We're proud to be part of that energy, serving Woodward Avenue one carefully crafted cup at a time.

From early-bird Woodward Avenue commuters to remote workers, Beaumont Hospital nurses and doctors grabbing coffee between shifts, Berkley families on weekend outings, Huntington Woods dog walkers stopping in after a morning at the park, and Madison Heights residents looking for something better than a chain — our Royal Oak cafe is designed for the pace of your day. Open early with fast service, free Wi-Fi, and fresh breakfast sandwiches alongside our craft coffee.
Why Lucky Detroit Is Royal Oak's Best Coffee Shop
Royal Oak has coffee shops on every block, but Lucky Detroit is the only one on Woodward that roasts its own beans and makes every syrup from scratch. We don't cut corners with commercial flavorings or pre-ground coffee. Our baristas are trained to pull shots with precision, not just push buttons. And with our full kitchen serving real breakfast sandwiches — not just reheated pastries — we offer the most complete morning experience on Woodward Avenue. If you care about what's in your cup, you'll taste the difference.
Life in Royal Oak
Royal Oak sits at the crossroads of Metro Detroit's northern suburbs, anchored by Woodward Avenue — the same historic road that runs from Downtown Detroit to Pontiac. The neighborhood is young, energetic, and fiercely supportive of independent businesses. Beaumont Hospital brings a massive workforce that needs early-morning caffeine. The downtown district comes alive at night with restaurants and bars, but mornings belong to the coffee shops. Michigan winters make a hot latte a daily essential from November through March, while summer brings iced coffee season and patio weather. The Detroit Zoo, Royal Oak Farmers Market, and walkable downtown keep foot traffic strong year-round.
What to Look for in a Royal Oak Coffee Shop
- Look for a cafe that opens early — Royal Oak's commuter crowd needs coffee before 8 AM
- Check if they serve real food, not just day-old pastries from a distributor
- Ask about the roast — locally roasted beans taste fundamentally different from mass-produced
- Free Wi-Fi and outlets are table stakes for a modern coffee shop
- Support independent — Royal Oak's identity is built on local businesses, not chains
