After work I joined my Dan down at at Frenz Coffee House which is located in the older strip mall that has an MC sports right next to I-96 on Plainfield. I must say knowing that it was in this mall and seeing it made me think dilapidated mess, and on the outside, it is. Upon entering though it was a better feel. They offer artwork from local artist for sale and had a small town coffee-shop feel. I ordered my usual mocha and we sat down and started chatting about the economy. My first sip was a pleasant surprise. The chocolate was top-notch—smooth and not overpowering. The expresso coffee in the mocha was a bit masked but I was not totally disappointed by this since the chocolate was so good.
Overall I give the mocha a 8 out out of 10. I would recommend this coffee shop if you are in this area but not really worth a special trip. While Dan and I where talking the barista walked over and turned off the open sign—I looked and my wattch said 6pm which is disappointing. I can see how this coffee shop would be just a good stop off for morning commute onto I-96, and that is pretty much what it is.
