39 Best Cafes in Detroit

“Haven’t had a miss on the subscription yet. Quick shipping, great roasts, and Kristi in customer service got me fixed up when I got mixed up on my subscription settings. 10/10“

“Beautiful setting, very clean and pretty store with quality products and a great coffee and soup bar.“

“Was traveling for a conference and someone recommended this place and I’m so glad I stopped in. Short walk from many nearby hotels. The food is absolutely beautiful and there were pastries and desserts I’d never seen or heard of and I’ve been to a TON of French bakeries. This place takes it to the next level. I even had to make another transaction after I tried a piece of the mozzarella and Zatar bread loaf because it was that good. I’m not usually that into bakery style breads but this was insanely soft and the flavor was like nothing I’ve tasted before. Wish we lived closer because we’d be back everyday!“

“Our favorite neighborhood coffee shop!“

“Went on a sat mid day. We're from Ohio and wanted some baked cookies and saw a tiktok and gave them a try. Service we great felt like home there. Cookies were delicious! I tried sugar cookie, snickerdoodle, peanut butter and chocolate chip. All amazing and wish I got more to take back home with me. I'll be back for more!“

“This place is a complete culinary delight. I love the atmosphere, the sharable menu options and selection, and the amazing staff. If you want a truly unforgettable experience, try the chef’s table! Five stars every single time we’ve gone!“

“Love this spot. Great coffee and the vibe can’t be beat.“

“It’s a little magical! Great place to meet friends enjoy shopping, treats, conversation and delightful tea service.“

“It was my first time in downtown detroit and I came across this food truck. The food was really good, and I tried their matcha. Truly one of the best food truck experiences I have ever had! I was helped by Ibrahim, who took his time with me and helped me understand exactly what I was looking to have.“

“I love walking here, getting a consistently good latte or espresso, and sitting outside. Quieter neighborhood to enjoy reading, but busy enough spot to run into folks. Usually on my list of coffee recommendations for locals or out-of-towners!“

“We really enjoyed our brunch. The staff was great and the sweetest people. I loved the Jammie eggs and the preserves.“

“I have a new favorite cafe! Today was my first visit to Moondog Cafe on Linwood in Detroit. I loved everything about it - the ambiance, the people, the food, the decor. The staff I met seemed like very friendly, inviting, and interesting people. I had a black cherry soda with cane sugar that hit the spot and a savory curry pastry that was absolutely incredible. I definitely plan to be back; I especially want to come back some time when a show or musical event is scheduled, as the stage and set-up looked like it will be ideal for intimate musical performances.“

“I recommend The Hulk smoothie extra banana, Chica Fresa but don’t limit yourself everything is delicious. Such a supportive space for creativity and community ❤️🔥“

“The fact that a COVID-19 card was needed upon entry, along with the fact that it wasn't advertised on the door, were the lowlights. I don't anticipate returning until the policy is changed. My recommendation is to obtain an updated COVID-19 card, and have it on your phone or in your pocket/purse/wallet before you visit. it will save the trouble of being turned away.“

“First I'd like to express how delighted I am with this cafe's staff who are always cheerful and welcoming. Their food is extremely fresh, and I am amazed at the wide selection of choices they offer in their bright, and very clean cafe. Try their soups, usually 3 or 4 choices that change each day. I like to get their lamb shawermas too, and really, their mediterrabean offerings are tasty! They also do a bunch of yummy sandwiches made right on the spot to order. I tend to try their daily specials, as those are usually being prepared and cooked freshly just moments before lunchtime. You might find a mac n cheese one day, a lasagne the next. Today I'm enjoying their spiced chicken. You can clearly see all of the ingredients offered, and if you arrive early in the day, they do a breakfast selection to keep you going. As their clean, bright, cozy space is take-out only, the outdoor deck is only 20 feet away, a nice place to eat on non-Winter days. There is a padded bench just inside nearby in a pinch. They're a family business, so please do come and satisfy your hunger.“

“Kresge Court is a great place to relax, have a conversation with friends, or get some work done on your laptop. There's a small selection of food and drinks available for purchase nearby, but most folks come here for the atmosphere and the WiFi“

“Amazing bagels and cream cheese, but my morning was basically ruined when I saw that the goat cheese and honey cream cheese is no longer on DoorDash 😭 Yes, it’s THAT good. My whole office loves it. Please bring it back!“

“Such a fun time! Best pastries ever :)“

“Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere“

“Best spot in Detroit! Love the ambiance.“

“Awesome!🤩 place is great!“

“I'm a business student at WSU and I normally come out to the school a bit earlier to get coffee here. Fourteen East has comfortable, calm vibes and the coffee is amazing. If you need a nice spot to hang out and work, it's perfect.“

“I came to this fine astablishment the other day with my 7 little munchkins. This fine lady that I added a picture off took our order. All the little girls where so kind to us and the nachos where perfect. The price is expected because everyone needs to make money ??.“

“The restaurant has a nice atmosphere but the food could have been hot. The potatoes were unseasoned but the omelet was excellent.“

“Such a savior in the mornings, especially for some of these 5:30/6:00a flights on that end of the terminal 😩

Seriously though — it’s basically a Zingerman’s cafe so if you know the quality of Zingerman’s you know that this is good stuff.

Not really a spot to drink your coffee but who needs it? You gotta go on the plane anyway… ☕️✈️“

“I love this place and it smells so good!“

“The MOCAD Café is a relaxing and very chill café located directly inside the Museum of Contemporary Art. As expected, the space is designed thoughtfully and exudes relaxation. It has an urban-industrial feel with a touch of modernism. The big garage windows allow for plenty of natural light - when it's warm, they're open to allow a nice breeze. There are many tables with chairs, creating a perfect atmosphere for small group gatherings or a quiet work sesh'.Not only do they sell coffee, tea, and baked goods sourced locally, but there's also a fully stocked bar with a rotating seasonal menu. Many of the cocktails are bright and refreshing, having been curated by the bartenders. Pricing is fair, as well. The staff are always friendly and kind, and the service has been nothing short of splendid.You don't need to visit the museum to visit the café, as it's located directly to the right of you as you enter the museum. Stop in for a drink or treat, and enjoy the museum if you have time.“

“A lot of fun activities that is in hood-great people!“

“The summer lychee boba tea was delicious! Such a cute shop!“

“I love going to the DIA!! It is so clean and beautiful museum to visit! We went as a family and even my son loved going to the DIA!“

“Like ❤️ this review to give my dad a blessing during his surgery.
Located on the LL = Lower Level. Tasty food with lots of options, staff offered to help as I looked around at tons of options, spacious and disctanced eating area. I have a full belly, some tasty snack options to save for later, and I'm a happy boy.“

“WOW!! This cafe is my new favorite place to go. The drinks are AMAZING as well as the food. While those are 10/10, the hospitality is what makes me want to come back over and over!! Madeline was so passionate and knowledgeable about everything and made us so excited to be there. Also there is a nice indoor and outdoor space to enjoy your coffee!“

“The Christmas Bundle and Yule log were fantastic! We were able to enjoy some items at home and had enough to bring to every family gathering. Our families loved everything! Thank you so much!“

“I tried their shrimp and grits. I recess abundance of food. Do Tasty. I initially was cold. But they turned up the heat. I give that this lace a two thumbs up. 👍🏾“

“✩ ✩ ✩ Great scenic view, excellent for business ventures, tourists and out-of-towners, with a chill ambience that matches the tasty ‘a la carte’ offerings. Be prepared for a hefty turkey leg, succulent salmon and cute right size sides + warm desserts. Vegan friendly. I truly appreciate that the chef was modest on the seasonings, that made it ‘just-right’ (take it from a foodie who hates + heavy handed salted foods...). Wait time was decent. Definitely would go back... ✩ ✩ ✩“

“great food at affordable prices!! the staff is so friendly and amazing!! recommend everyone to give it a try!“

“we stopped this afternoon and was truly amazed at how delicious the food there was ! The staff was polite and friendly too. I had the steak & cheese sub with fries, both were delicious and fries were crispy My wife's Chipotle chicken & cheese wrap was overflowing with both chicken and cheese! absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back . I highly recommend this Cafe to everyone, you will not be disappointed!“
