FoggyBottom Coffee House

Welcome!

Located just 2 minutes east of downtown Dexter, Michigan, we’re an independent shop so we do the independent thing and create our own coffee rather than resell somebody else’s stuff. We buy the beans green and then roast and blend them right in the shop. Whether it’s a light, medium, or dark roast, we brew it strong, chock full of flavor. Puts hair in places you didn’t even know you had places.

I Am Not Robin

 April 4th was my birthday. My mom told me how I was named. It involves an old wives tale. Back in the day, it was thought that of the two fallopian tubes of a woman's uterus, one was designated for boys and the other one produced girls. If a woman was missing a fallopian tube then all she could produce would be either all boys or all girls depending on the surviving tube.

Here are the four kids my mother birthed (in order of appearance); Larry, Marcia, Sandy, Doug. After Marcia was born, mom had some kind of partial hysterectomy which took out one of the fallopian tubes. Well, the wisdom of the day then said that whichever baby you had next would be all you could produce from then on. (Are you still with me?)

Why the Ride?
Foggy Bottom Rides the Ride By Doug
Somebody get a gun.  I think I’m Ol’ Yeller.There is spittle at the corners of my mouth and I’m heaving for air. I’m less than 5 miles into a 30 mile ride and my legs started hurting before I reached the end of my driveway. It’s mid-July. I’ve been training since March and I wonder if it has done any good at all. There is (oh, I’m going to guess) a 17 mph headwind with gusts up to 23mph. I’m lurching along Dexter-Chelsea Road in slow motion and my knees sound like Rice Krispies. The hills, even the gradual inclines are killing me today. The Michigan humidity is like a heavy cape I can’t shrug off.
