In those circumstances, it's best to find a great coffee spot that has turned a delectable brew into a warm weather treat: iced coffee! Americans rely more than ever on iced coffee in those hot months for their caffeine fix, and Detroit is no exception. Some of the Motor City's most well-loved coffee spots also have some of the top iced coffee. Here are some of the best.

One of the key elements to a really top-notch iced coffee is whether or not the brew is cold-pressed (rather than just having coffee with ice dumped into it). Urban Bean Co. in downtown Detroit does just this and keeps its already stellar coffee tasting perfect by going the extra mile for its drinks. Located in a unique building front in a historic section of downtown near Griswold and Grand River Ave., this spot is a must for anyone downtown looking for a cold coffee brew.

From the "farm to the cup" is the motto of this hot coffee spot on historic Woodward Ave. But the most unique thing about the Roasting Plant in Detroit isn't the motto, but rather the cafe's "Javabot," which takes the beans from the roasters automatically and produces the absolute freshest cup of coffee available for thirsty Detroiters. Best of all, the iced coffee offering is one of the local favorites and always available as well.

In the oldest neighborhood in all of Detroit lies one of the city's best coffee secrets: Astro Coffee.
