Street Beet’s brick and mortar

Led by owner and chef Meghan Shaw, Street Beet, the popular plant-based comfort food pop-up, is preparing to take over the former Bobcat Bonnie’s space in Corktown. Street Beet will continue serving its signature fast-food-inspired vegan dishes at Third Street Bar in Detroit until the transition to the new location is complete — expected sometime this summer. Eva Guillen will step in as general manager, while Mary “Lou” Hammer takes on the role of pastry/sous chef, crafting fresh pastries and adding her special touch to the menu. Once open, the eatery will serve breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. Plans include a full-service dining experience, a walk-up window for quick bites, an innovative bar program featuring mocktails, and a brand-new in-house bakery and a vibrant third-space vibe, complete with game nights, live DJs, and a multifunctional community hub. Another new addition at the Corktown location is Washed Up Coffee, offering a curated multi-roaster coffee program with exceptional beans sourced from top roasters around the globe. Launching alongside Street Beet’s breakfast service, Washed Up Coffee brings fresh flavors to Detroit’s already thriving coffee scene. The space has been designed as a welcoming spot for work, relaxation and community connection. 1800 Michigan Avenue, Detroit
