27 Best Cafes in Detroit

“My husband surprised me for my birthday and got me an assortment of pastries that I love.

I’m always impressed by the attention to detail in each of Canelles decadent treats. From their beautiful presentation, all the way to balancing out different textures and flavor profiles, this is my favorite place to get treats for special occasions!“

“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!“

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

“Our favorite neighborhood coffee shop!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“We were served James Oliver Ethiopian Mocha Java at Sylvan Table, 1819 Inverness St., Sylvan Lake, Michigan 48320, 8/4/2025. In addition to a delightful, sumptuous meal, this was one of the best coffees ever! Loved it so much, purchased a bag of beans!“

“What can one say about this! Amazing coffee, meaning a real mean and perfect double espresso, and silence, all that in the middle of an incredible museum. My wife and I went to this place through a spiral staircase of the first level and were stunned. And to top all that, I was so intrigued by the crests that adorned the walls. Take your time and enjoy looking at them because I apnly had one concern: why, ih, why did I not have more time to spent there? But, we have another trip to the area soon, so we will be back....“

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

“Great coffee, nice merchandise, awesome seating area inside and out! Loved it! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great service and good coffee!
I had their Maple Shakerato and a brownie. The drink had the perfect level of sweetness once stirred, and the brownie was soft with rich chocolate chunks, really satisfying. The ambience was also great; the indoor seating area had a calm, cozy vibe. Most people were working or studying, so it wasn't too loud, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done.“

“Stopped in with a friend to grab a treat. Great selection of offerings with decent prices especially considering the area. Wide variety of options also available from cake to baklava to ice cream. Got the chocolate covered pistachio baklava. It was good not the best baklava I've had but decent. The pecan pie bar was wonderful! Gooey and perfect! Staff was friendly and helpful.“

“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!“

“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… ☕️✈️“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Best perch dinner around!“

“Chili Mexican is life so delicious“

“Awesome!🤩 place is great!“
