Hip in Detroit's 2024 Guide to Shopping Local

Detroit Dye House - Detroit

This holiday season, as you shop for gifts for others or for yourself, we encourage you to check out at least one small business that you haven't visited before. The Metro Detroit area has a plethora of great businesses that make shopping small easy and fun. We're sure you probably already have your favorite shops that you plan to stop by this holiday season, but if you check out a few new ones, you might find the perfect gift that you didn't even know was on your list!

We've curated a list of great shops in Detroit and the surrounding suburbs that will make your holiday shopping more fun and enjoyable. By shopping small, rather than just online or at big box stores, you'll not only find unique gifts, but you'll also help to keep someone's dream of owning their own business alive. 

Although this list might narrow things down a bit when it comes to shopping local, it is quite the long list. So, we've added this key that will help you narrow down which store might carry what you're looking for!

Elephant & Co.: Detroit Style Pizza & Self-Serve Craft Beer

Beer lovers and pizza lovers do not want to sleep on one of Cass Corridor's newest additions, Elephant & Co.! Located behind the Masonic Temple on Charlotte, Elephant & Co. features Detroit style pizza and self-serve craft beer. Yes, you read that right, self serve beer! The place is owned by the fine folks that are also behind Eastern Market Brewing Co. and Ferndale Project, so during your visit you can try dozens of beers from these two great breweries, and there is even seltzer and wine available too. For the non-drinkers, there are N/A beers available as well as cans of a Detroit staple, Faygo. When it comes to serving yourself, the cashier will give you a wristband that you tap on the beer tap, and then pour yourself a sample, a full glass, or somewhere inbetween. The taps will keep track of how much you poured and add it to your bill at the end of your visit. 

If you're not in the mood to drink, the food alone is well worth the visit! We know, there are a lot of great pizza places around nowadays, especially when it comes to Detroit style. But, this one is definitely in our top 5, probably even in our top 3! For our first visit, Sadie went with the Fungi, vegan style. When it comes to vegan cheese, it can be hit or miss, but since it was our first visit, she gave it a try and it was amazing! Christie went with the OG, Spicy Pepperoni, and it was one of the best pizzas she ever had. There are also great salads on the menu as well as cheese bread and shareables to start things off.

Elephant & Co. is open Monday - Saturday from 10:30 AM - 10:30 PM and Sunday from 10:30 AM - 9 PM. The dining room is huge and there's a great patio for when nice weather returns. Plus, if you're looking for a place to host a party, they have a private event space too. Don't have time to dine in? Carryout is available, with a wide variety of canned beer to go along with your pizza. 

We highly suggest checking out Elephant & Co. the next time you're in the mood for a great meal or a fun place to grab drinks with friends!

Head over to our socials to see our reel from Elephant & Co.!
