Worldly cafe

Owner Marizza Alego-Cariño has traveled all over the world and been to a lot of cafes, which is how she found herself wanting to open a cafe in Troy that felt homey and wasn’t just another chain. Enter Cafe Immortelle, which recently opened at 4979 Livernois Road, Troy. The cafe sells Eli Tea Bar, their signature Immortelle tea blend (which Alego-Cariño makes), bubble tea, and a variety of drinks made with Populace Coffee Co. Influenced by her own travels, the food menu doesn’t look like any other cafe, featuring croissant sandwiches, avocado toast – with toppings like chili, and tomato and basil – a Spanish sardine sandwich, spam musubi, and veggie nigiri.
