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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere“

“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 ??.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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 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!“
