“Definitely an old school bakery feel. I have no complaints with how I’ve personally been treated - I’ve only had very polite and nice experiences. Coffee has always been hot for me and I was even offered more bagels because it was slow today! I usually get bagels and cream cheese once a week in the mornings and have never had an issue, they are very delicious… but duh, it’s a bagel! It’s a go-to bagel place for me and a must try if you’re in the neighborhood. So glad I started coming here.“
“Upon entering the establishment I was greeted by the young lady?. There was a regular customer whom conversed with me about his favorite. The cookies are a nice size and delicious. The decor is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend and we must support our own people and Community ,keep our money in the neighborhood . The prices are good. Good Cookie be prosperous and thank you.“
“I cannot believe it took me so long to discover this not-so-hidden jewel, which is only minutes away from my home. My husband and I ditched our normal Saturday brunch to drop in on Detroit Sip. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the products. Detroit Sip's vibe is like a warm, neighborly hug. The decor is whimsical and inviting. My caramel latte and cheese Danish were very goodMy husband also enjoyed his dark roast and muffin. We'll be back, in fact I tried to return the following Tuesday morning. Guess I should have paid attention to the hours listed.“
“This is definitely an establishment you don't want to miss out on visiting. Their service is always impeccable and friendly and very welcoming. Their pastries are amazing, their coffee and the ambiance is beautiful.It gives you all the warm and cozy feels of visiting your favorite grandma. ✨ I would highly recommend visiting this establishment it's great for business, meeting up with friends, and they also allow you to rent out the space for private events!“
“The first callout I have to make is I absolutely LOVE the diversity of choices in this menu. They have so much more unique options than your standard coffee shop and all of them are so different. Their menu represents so many countries and regions, including Moroccan, Hong Kong, Brazilian, Spanish, Viennese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Japanese, Indian, Sudanese, etc. This is a place that you can just keep coming back to and try completely different flavors and styles of coffee and tea with every visit and I really appreciate that. They also have small snack options, with my favorite being the Nutella taiayaki. This was a pleasant surprise for me since I'm generally not the biggest fan of classic red bean taiyaki. I ended up ordering the Brazilian style latte and my girlfriend got the London fog. We both loved our drinks and would definitely return to try others. As for the space, it's certainly not what I expected but I really liked the concept. Meillie Coffee is just one of a few vendors who all share a really large space (with TONS of seating). They also have sandwiches and ice cream available at the other vendors, so you can probably come here in the morning and end up spending enough time working until you want lunch from the other vendor as well.“
“everything about The Fern is perfection - the owner is friendly and helpful, she's always supportive of everyone and genuinely builds connections.the teas are DELICIOUS - i have never had a bad one. and the coffee? it's WONDERFUL. the dark chocolate hazelnut latte is my absolute favorite.“
“This is our second order from them. I've been meal prepping for years, but that takes time. Plus I get sick of the same thing for 5 days. I've tried almost all the mail subscription meals and I honestly like these the best. The protein content meets my nutritional goals and the meals are actually really tasty. It's kind of hard to believe a carbonara lasagna or steak and poutine fit my goals but they somehow do. My favorite part is that I don't need a subscription. I can order whenever life gets busy. Plus, if you don't order you can always get the frozen options.“
“I had been going to Birmingham Roast for years before Royal Oak Roast opened, and it is just as amazing as the original. Drinks are incredible (though the “Joy” drinks are pretty sweet, I always order half sweet), the breakfast burrito is a must try, as is the açaí bowl. They constantly have new “seasonal” menu items which is great for regulars to get something new to try. This will forever be my favorite coffee shop in the metro Detroit area!!“
“This is my favourite spot for anything cheese and desserts. I met the owner during one of my visits. She talks and walks this lifestyle and is incredibly passionate in her craft which speaks to the amazing quality and creativity of her products and the restaurant itself!!“
“Was in the area so decided to stop by and so glad I did. They have lots of unique flavors that I throughly enjoyed. I loved my pear bagel and chai with carrot cake syrup. I ordered online and they waited to put ice in my drink until I was there so it wouldn't get watered down. If I was a living in Detroit, I could see myself becoming a regular.“
“Simple, but fun. Light atmosphere. Not your traditional “Troy” vibe. Love it! Sorry it took me so long to come.I’m stuck on the salmon croissant, and I have yet to have even an even average cup of coffee. If you’re into Matcha, you will thank me later!“
“We had a delicious lunch at Capital Grille today. The restaurant is beautiful as well as cozy. The food is excellent and the service is outstanding, special attention is given to every detail. I had their special Cobb Salad with beef tips and my husband had the Cheese burger since it was just after noon. Our server was Ashley who attended to every detail in making our meal most enjoyable. I had a little left over so she carefully packed it for me. Hope to see her again there. We are looking forward to returning to try some other entrees soon. Perfect outing for a winter day.“
“All I can say is WOW!! What an absolute gem in downtown Royal Oak. The service was exceptional and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Amber, who is an absolute sweetheart. The cinnamon bun smoothie, and the soup that I ordered were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be a repeating customer after this amazing first visit.“
“Five15 is the best drag bar/restaurant in metro Detroit. Ask for Cookie or Brian to be your server, they are exceptional. If you are a fan of the TV show RuPaul's Drag Race, this is the place to go in metro Detroit. They book many of the drag queen contestants to perform in their Brunch shows.Parking: Parking in Royal Oak is free on Sundays and holidays. On all other days you have to pay from 11am-midnight. I'd recommend the Parking garages, as they let you park for the first two hours for free before having to pay.“
“Placed an order online and the website was having an issue which I did not realize until I showed up to pick up my lunch. They were super friendly and (apologetic - which was not necessary) and made my food super fast. Loved the customer service in making it right and being so so friendly. Food is really good too, but the service will make me come back again and again!“
“Great sandwiches, fresh salad, sad GFS ranch. That’s the only negative, though. Everything was delivered fresh and on time through EZ Cater. I love that they use Boar’s Head meats and cheeses and their prices are very fair. If they upgrade their dressings, I’ll give them 5 stars! Very friendly, great for both small and large groups. Will order again.“
“Chocolate zucchini bread was amazing. Kale Caesar was great for lunch! Also had the breakfast sandwich which was very tasty and the coffee was great as well. Lots of pastry options like cookies and kouign Amann. Different coffees as well. Service was 10/10!“
“The Chocolate Gallery Cafe has been in my list of restaurants to try for a long time and had the opportunity with relatives visiting. Everyone in our party commented on how excellent their meal was. I had the kielbasa and cheddar omelette and it was bigger than the picture suggests. It was fantastic as were the home fries. In addition to their regular menu, they have a large variety of specials. Capping off the wonderful meal, our server was unbelievably friendly and constantly available. I would highly recommend.“
“We tried this bakery/cafe and the food was wonderful. I had a combo with chicken salad and slightly spicy tomato basil soup on the best grain bread and a delightful cinnamon oatmeal cookie. I could eat this every day and not get tired of it. I'll be in there every time I'm in the area to try different things, but I'm sure most of the time it will be chicken salad and tomato basil. Yum yum and yum!“
“i love coffee so I’m pretty picky with where I go for coffee! I had the kuppa joy and latte (both with oat milk) and they were absolutely perfect! Highly recommend this over any Starbucks. Staff was friendly, environment was chill. Can’t wait to come back!“
“Detroit's most unique hidden Gem next door to Detroit Art Institute. Small World Kitchen 5 different cuisines all made to perfection, wondering why our local media doesn't show this small family business some Love. Open 6 years now hidden in the basement of International Institute on Kirby with a big sign out front. Open 11am till 4:30 Monday thru Saturday in a bright beautiful dining room. Baba, ma and daughter working in front of the house, just walk up order take a seat. They bring your meal to the table. Abe runs this cafe with his family, and always provides a delicious meal for an affordable price. It completely fits the location at International Institute to have a variety of ethnic dishes to choose from, and Abe has a way of bringing out the flavors in a dish that is hard to find for this price. A hidden lunchtime gem in the heart of the cultural district Detroit. He's a Lebanese Master Chef trained in France, the menu includes food and drinks from 5 unique cuisines and symbolizes the true inclusiveness of Detroit. See the website full menu and reviews We had a marvelous mixed plate of Indian Lamb and Chicken Curry with Naan bread. It was some of the very best ever eaten. A delicious Falafel Plate with Tahini for dipping. She had Chicken Tawook with Fatoush Salad and Hummus totally fabulous. She had a bowl of Indian Daal Soup OMG such explosive flavor . Please see all the great 5 star reviews around the web Yelp and Google, place is a must visit for all you foodies. Prices are cheaper than any restaurants Downtown Detroit, hey they cater too. #smallworldkitchendetroit @smallworldkitchendetroit #worldcusine #lambcurry #chickentawook #falafel #daalsoup #lowprices #detroithiddengems“
“Loved everything about this tearoom. I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy high tea in the English countryside and at tearooms as storied as the Empress in Victoria, and this was as lovely an experience as I’ve had anywhere. The pride of ownership is abundantly clear, and the service was stellar. Down to the individual place settings, every detail of tea was well attended to. The food was delicious and the portions easily four times that of other tearooms I’ve been to… and the quality did not suffer as a result of quantity.I’ll certainly recommend this place to others and plan to return the next time I’m in the Detroit area. Thank you for a wonderful time!“
“Milwaukee Caffe makes me feel like I'm visiting a European, standing-only, grab-and-go coffee shop if traditional espresso-loving European coffee shops were hip and queer in the absolute best way. I come here to romanticize my life and walk away caffeinated enough to do some damage.“
“Such a cool place. The bar tender was the best, super friendly and fun. The crab cakes were the best I’ve had in Michigan! The cocktails were strong but yummy! The bar tender gave us a tour of the place and was telling us how the basement is haunted. This place is connected to a coffee shop that’s open during the day which is also good and worth trying. You can have a small event here too.“
“Friendly staff and one of the few coffee places near the Henry Ford main campus. Prefer a simple cup of black coffee when the coffee is quality. Usually request extra coffee when doing a pour over. Usually I avoid the specialty flavored coffees: cherry, vanilla, or hazelnut. I can do a light or dark roast. Flavored coffee is not my cup of tea, as the mixed analogy goes.“
“Great place to start your day with a cup of a delicious coffee! Latte with an extra shot of espresso was delicious! Service is excellent, fast and friendly! location is quite spacious and usually not too crowded inside. Drive through was recently opened.“
“My 3 friends and I came in on a busy taco Tuesday night and all of our food was so delicious and came out so fast!! This is definitely a place we’ll be coming back to for sure, especially for it being our first time eating here. Shout out to the owner and staff they’re amazing and I’d rate the food and service a defiant 1000/10.“
“We have been ordering Chinese cakes from this bakery ever since we found out about this gem. This bakery does a wonderful job and uses fresh fruit on all their cakes. They are very generous with their fruits and the cakes are the perfect amount of sweetness. The price is also fair. I highly recommend this bakery for those who are looking for a trusted store to fulfill their cake orders.“
“My cousin is a regular here and this was my first time here. This is a fantastic little shop. Their menu is extensive but filled with great things. They also operate as a snack and liquor shop with specialty items. The food I had was well made and the service is friendly. You can really see that the locals love this place and come here often. It's a place that is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.“
“Great people, staff, and overall experience. Food is great and consistent. Coffee is great. Queer atmosphere that keeps me coming back.Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendlyParking: There is parking behind the buildingWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp and parking, although space is small and limited.“
“Came here for brunch with a group of friends and we had a great time. I ordered the blueberry Ricotta pancakes with lemon curd, potatoes, jalapeno polenta, and Earl Grey tea. The pancakes were so delicious, you didn't even need syrup. The potatoes were cooked well, but could have used more seasoning. The polenta was creamy and flavorful. My tea was enjoyable and tasted like high quality Earl Grey.The only negative is the customer service could have been better. The waiters weren't very attentive or personable. We found ourselves having to flag them down or get up and find a staff person if we wanted something. Could have just been an off day though. Totally coming back. This is an awesome place for brunch.“
“I had the Kresge Club sandwich and Lavender Latte for lunch while attending the DIA. The food was really good and the wait time was only about 10 minutes which wasn't that bad considering it was a busy Saturday afternoon. I actually found the prices to be reasonable and standard for today's market. The staff were friendly and very efficient. They also serve alcohol and not just craft beers. They were running drink specials on Old Fashioned cocktails. It's in an atrium style courtyard so the atmosphere was pretty serene and calming.“
“Umai cafe is the perfect spot for lunch after a winter hike. The cafe is clean & cozy and the staff were very kind. The food was good and the chocolate avocado smoothie was decadent. The miso soup and potato salad taste fresh.The cafe has a projector to play video clips and gentle music to create a pleasant atmosphere. The cafe is tucked into the corner of a strip mall, and is situated next to a fitness studio that unfortunately has no soundproofing so for a portion of our visit the loud noise had a negative impact on the experience.I look forward to visiting again and love that there is a local spot for avocado smoothies and fresh onigiri.“
“Le Crepe is always amazing! The staff are attentive and the crepes are fresh every time. They’re stuffed with tasty goodness and will have you wanting more; I haven’t ever had a crepe that I didn’t like from here. It’s far from where I live, but it’s worth the drive to support a small business!“
“Went here with my bro first time and it was great experience chill spot. The drink tasted like chocolate heaven. I went with my husband there the 2nd time it had egg smell and overally crowded they changed everything inside. Still good place to go if you don't mind crowd & waiting for a while.“
“Love seeing a Caribou back in our neighborhood. The coffee is and will always be the best I've ever tasted from a corporate chain. The service at this location is fantastic, all the baristas are super helpful and super friendly, and every drink I've had has been super tasty. Definitely recommend!!Dietary restrictions: Got all the milks available!“
“I had the pleasure of discovering this charming café today: it was truly delightful! From the moment that I walked in, Madeline's kind hospitality made me feel right at home. Not only did she kindly offer to warm up my croissant, but she also went the extra mile to check that it was heated to the right temperature—perfection! Speaking of perfection, the pistachio croissant was simply divine. Paired with a heavenly chai latte that boasted just the right amount of spice, it was a match made in culinary heaven. Plus, the seamless access to reliable Wi-Fi made it the ideal spot for catching up on work or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation. With ample seating and the perfect ambiance, the café struck the perfect balance of cozy, yet vibrant. Parking was easy and convenient. Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit to experience this slice of café paradise again.Dietary restrictions: There were alternative milks for all diets.“
“Awesome service. The best food I’ve had in along time! Everything was freshly made and the cook hand picked the vegetables from his garden. I haven’t had an omelette that tasted so good from a restaurant other than this!I would 1000% recommend Drakes Cafe (near hall and mound area) to anyone looking for an excellent and homemade breakfast at Drakes Cafe!!Vegetarian options: Veto friendlyKid-friendliness: The waitresses are so good with Benny and take care of him first if he’s fussy :)Wheelchair accessibility: Danny makes accommodations for anyone in his restaurant.“
“Stopped by today for a quick sit down with a latte. I ordered a lavender oatmilk latte and a slice of pound cake warmed up. The latte was good, very flavorful and sweet. A bit foamy though. The pound cake was truthfully very bland, it was pretty dry and flavorless. The icing was even pretty hard to taste. The atmosphere is nice, plenty of greenery and unique nic-nacs. However, this cafe is advertised as a gallery as well. There were no paintings or photos or anything up which was disappointing. The service was great! The barista Kattia was super friendly and bubbly. She offered to warm up the pound cake, very sweet. I more than likely would only stop by again if I’m on this side of town specifically, but I probably wouldn’t make a trip for it.Parking: Parking right out front!“
“I haven’t been to this bakery in years, and I noticed that it seems to have adopted a more corporate style compared to its previous, more personal atmosphere. It’s still nice, but I don’t feel the same sense of attachment to this place as I did before. So sad.Also, quite pricey, a smoked salmon sandwich cost $17.“
“Every location is fantastic, but shout out to the busy yet patient employees at the Ferndale location today who pulled a combined 40 oz of espresso for me and the woman in front of me who are making tiramisu for Christmas. The coffee is always fantastic, and it's a great place to chill and do some work, too, especially the West Village and Jefferson Greenway locations (I assume the Midtown spot, too, but I haven't been in yet).“
“Bismillah Restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience with its rich blend of flavors. Friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere. Standouts include the aromatic biryani and flavorful kebabs. Overall, a satisfying dining destination for those seeking authentic Bangladeshi cuisine.“
“A dreamy escape for cold winter weekend days! I feel so psyched to have FINALLY sauntered into this little slice of heaven that has been on my collections list forever. I'm so excited about it that I'm having a time finding the right words to properly describe it. First, let me say that another patron sort of admonished me for taking pictures to share here. Apparently, she doesn't want newbies to come ruin her secret hideaway. Well, sorry, I must Yelp about this magical book-filled vintage-themed coffee house. Admittedly, I sort of understand why she wouldn't want lots of people piling in on a given Saturday or Sunday. The shop is very low-key, quiet, and highly vibrational. Loud unintentional folk would definitely ruin the vibe. But other like-minded souls would adore the place and hold its sacredness. Walking in, you're definitely not expecting what you'll find. I felt like little fairies took my hand and led me to a magical eutopia hidden in the woods. The lighting and decorations gave me Harry Potter vibes. There were butterflies, bikes, and other whimsical things flying through the air. No, literally, chairs and other decorations hanging from the ceiling! It's a book lover's paradise. There are tons of titles stacked and shelved all over. There are lots of trinkets and tchotchkes for sale. You can find unique gift items here or find something special for yourself. While touring the place, I looked around at the seating, there's a counter seating area and a few tables. However, I saw my sweet spot as soon as I walked in...a comfy colorful sofa in front of a faux fireplace with books and pillows surrounding it. There are lots of treats for purchase. I chose pound cake. It was so light and moist, I gobbled it down with an almond milk caramel latte. HEAVEN! I took a slice of lemon pound cake to-go. I can't wait to go back and visit. Next weekend looks good.“

“Left the Sabres vs. Red Wings game. Searched Google for Black owned restaurants nearby. BOOM! This was the first one with good ratings for me to say, "I could do with some breakfast right about now."ALWAYS order the Waffles 'n Flight. You will not regret it.Vegetarian options: Just ask.Dietary restrictions: You must TELL THEM.Parking: Along the side.Kid-friendliness: You da parent. Control yo chillun! I ain't yo Daddy.“
“Great food, friendly staff. Always busy. Good food is worth the wait. Cook goes above and beyond to make sure you get your dish the way you want. If they make a mistake, they fix it. Really enjoy their hamburgers!Styrofoam melts when very hot food is on it and it affects the taste of food. Can you please put tinfoil or parchment paper under it? (Example: biscuits and gravy, ff with chili and cheese)Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly dishes.Parking: Parking lot always has available spots.“
“Seated quickly in a very crowded dinning area w/smallish tables. Order was promptly taken. All food was ok, though not hot. I had the Monte Cristo French toast... as I stated it was ok (I have had better & worse). I was disappointed... I expected better. Keep at it. Thank you.“
“First time here and they have earned a lifetime customer. The atmosphere is a nice, warm environment. I will bring my friends next time as they offer free games to play. The macchiato was one of the best I have had. I can't wait to try more drinks the next time I stop by!“
“Great coffee place! Probably the best one in the city of Clawson and nearby areas. Taste of lattes is always on top, service is friendly and fast! and the ambiance is great! Highly recommend trying the hot lattes with an extra shot of espresso, as they usually have a free extra shot on Friday, that is a great way to get the day going!“
“Right of the start, I have to say that I definitely prefer BiggBy coffe than any other brand coffee shop.For one, they are a local, Michigan company. Also, in my opinion the coffee and most of the specialty drinks taste better than the rest of the field.It is not as crowded and the wait for service is not as long as at Starbucks, for example.I like this particular location too. The staff is very efficient and the place is clean. My drink comes out fairly quickly and always tastes delicious.“
