Crema's Take

“Tucked inside the architecturally stunning Michigan Central train station, Yellow Light serves thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks and surprisingly excellent donuts that lean toward balanced flavors rather than heavy sweetness. The vibe strikes that perfect middle ground between a quick caffeine stop and a place worth lingering, though seating is cozy and limited—perfect for solo coffee contemplation or a brief meet-up. Staff here genuinely seem to care, and the whole experience feels elevated by its historic setting without pretension.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Drive-thru.

Great location in Train Station. Dounughts are ok and limited selection, but coffee was good.

These have to be some of the best donuts I've had, hands down. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We got the Cherry Almond, Blueberry and Chocolate donuts-- and holy moly, the Brown Butter Plantain donut is a must try! Highly recommend picking up some coffee and donuts…

Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon and had a good experience. The shop is small but has a nice ambiance. I got a plain black coffee and it tasted hot and fresh. I would also recommend stopping by to check out the mini museum and gift shops, which are also in Michigan Central…

Got one of each flavor and they are fantastic! They are not overly sweet so you can definitely eat a few in one sitting. Beautiful building and great service — will definitely be back. New fan of Yellow Light Donuts!! My favorite was the vanilla bean and the chocolate :)
