Since reopening in June, Michigan Central Station has welcomed 167,000 visitors through its doors, exceeding expectations and solidifying Michigan Central as a cultural destination in Detroit. It will soon be home to many food and retail tenants with the first one being Yellow Light Coffee & Donuts – a beloved, locally-owned favorite on Detroit’s east side, which will open later this fall in The Station’s historic retail arcade. Yellow Light is the first food-and-beverage tenant in The Station since the building’s closure in 1988. It is set to be located immediately off The Station’s east entrance, and offer take-out and dine-in options daily, with more information on hours to come. Yellow Light opened as a drive-thru in 2020 in Detroit’s Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood and quickly became a morning staple for east-siders. It was co-founded by In-Laws Hospitality owners Christine and Jacques Driscoll, and outside partner Niko Dimitrijevic, and is the sister restaurant of the Driscolls’ other city dining institutions, Green Dot Stables and Johnny Noodle King. “Offering our in-house roasted coffee, scratch-made doughnuts and biscuit sandwiches to Corktown and Southwest is beyond exciting for our growth in Detroit,” said Christine Driscoll. “We’re also humbled that we will be part of this newest chapter in The Station’s history starting this fall.” 2001 15th Street, Detroit yellowlightdetroit.com
