Tongue's Coffee is run by father-and-son Greg and Tim Tongue. The coffeehouse has an exposed brick wall, coved ceilings and a black rubber floor. Two fish tanks and artwork are displayed in enclosed cases outside, making it fun to stop and look before coming inside. A dog bowl full of water also is outside for those four-legged friends out for a stroll with their owners in downtown Wyandotte.

A 60-inch plasma TV hangs on the wall and a high-end sound system fills the place. A piano is available for anyone who knows how to play it. A large chalkboard is on the wall for customers to doodle on. Chess sets are out and ready for those skilled on the game.

High- and low-top tables fill the area around the granite bar. A bookcase helps to separate a back lounge area, filled with leather couches, artwork and magazines. The entire facility has free Wi-Fi access and seats about 40 people comfortably.
