Barista

Method Co and Book Tower have welcomed a series of new food and beverage concepts to the growing scene in downtown Detroit. Le Supreme and Bar Rotunda bring the taste and style of early twentieth-century Paris back to Detroit:

Le Suprême, offers all-day French fare in the brasserie’s elegant dining room, alfresco, in the restaurant’s bar or within its 12-seat private dining room. Enter off Washington Boulevard or through The Rotunda to indulge in a menu comprised of Parisian specialties as well as fresh pastries, breads and desserts from the adjoining patisserie and boulangerie. Le Suprême’s full-service bar will also offer a curated cocktail program and a selection of over 300 world-class wines and champagne.

Bar Rotunda, serves as an all-day cafe and wine bar, with coffees, pastries, small plates, wine and cocktails offered at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Canopied by The Rotunda, Book Tower’s marble arched atrium and 100-year-old Kamper-glass skylight, the design and service are inspired by the grand cafés and venerable hotel bars of early twentieth-century Paris.

The barista is the heart and soul of the cafe; their communication style needs to be concise, clear, and courteous. Baristas need to be knowledgeable about all aspects of the Book Tower, coffee, tea and pastries.
