“delicious food served by friendly people!“

“Great vibes, great coffee and tasty food. What a great place!!!“

“Fantastic, fresh and delicious! Mini Greek with a traditional gyro was top notch, we will be back.“

“Just a great place. good coffee, art, good conversations Or go to a corporate coffee mill and miss out.“

“Best spot in Detroit! Love the ambiance.“

“Came here after a not so great experience across the street.

Here’s what we got:

Sun-dried tomato and basil cheese tart, warmed up with the cheese becoming gooey

Cinnamon roll croissant also warmed up, delicious

I docked 1 star for the unkind behavior of the brunette ponytailed barista. We bought an unhoused gentleman a coffee. He was with a walker and could hardly move. When the barista brought out his coffee, he asked her for cold water. She looked at him in disgust and walked away. I gave her a few mins to bring the water. When I realized she wasn’t going to, I walked over and demanded she give him the water. It was a hot, humid day. We already paid for his drink, it really didn’t need to go like that.

Besides that, all the cashiers were friendly and knowledgeable.“

“My new favorite breakfast spot! The food is great. My go to is the Sunrise Symphony, maple oatmeal and Blueberry Pomegranate smoothie. The people there are awesome! I always get a warm greeting and feel welcomed every time I go. Love this place. ❤️“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“I had my first visit on a Saturday and the Cafe featured live music! I stayed way past the last note. The musicians, Mike ? and Greg Mathis (not the judge, but the horn player), did a wonderful oldies but goodies show that took their responsive audience back to our young selves — great job! It was great fun being with my neighbors - they were funny and added so much to the stories Mike and Greg told around the music. The breakfast was just as memorable. My turkey sausage egg sandwich was moist and delicious and the cinnamon roll was so fresh and light, it tasted like it was made an hour ago. I tried my first ever latte - creamy and good. Overall, this is a 5-star cafe with a warm, welcoming owner who creates a warm lovely Real Detroit experience!“

“I highly recommend The Roost Detroit. The hot chocolate is a winner. I also enjoy their mocha. Both the the atmosphere and service is mellow and efficient. The pastries and meals are freshly made, daily. This is a favorite cafe of mine for drinks, pastries and specialty items.“

“I enjoy Bolt and order it delivery to NC. it is my favorite coffee! I brew it every weekend for my family.“

“Needed a place to land while waiting on my wife and found this lovely cafe. The plain latte was perfection and ricotta toast with heirloom tomatoes on sourdough was such a simple, yet delicious dish. Will be back this morning and whenever I’m in Detroit. 🫶🏻“

“Won’t disappoint!! Everything about this place is amazing from the decor, to the bars, to the staff, and the location!! Can’t go wrong, worth every penny!!“

“I ordered the smoked salmon and it was fresh and delicious service was fast“

“I was visiting Detroit for a good friend’s wedding and decided to check Alba out because it was one of the places they recommended on their wedding website. The space is cool, the service was friendly and reasonably quick, the iced vanilla late I got was tasty, but the star of the show was the Egg Sandie. I can say confidently that it’s one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. I was a little skeptical since I usually have bacon or sausage breakfast sandwiches, but I was totally blown away. It is somehow simultaneously light but still filling and is soooo flavorful. It’s a very unique sandwich that I’ll be dreaming of for a while. 100% will come back to this spot if I’m ever back in town.“

“Lovely local shop dedicated to properly roasted and brewed coffee in a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. A beautiful space to sit and sip!“

“The environment is relaxing, the ice coffee is strong and energizing, the location is convenient and though busy the patrons and staff are kind, courteous, and orderly, moreover, the service is executed expeditiously.“

“Been a couple times now, staff is always very courteous and pleasant. Food and beverages are top notch and you get to support the brethren at the same time? Pssssssh don’t threaten me with a good time.“

“Summertime Fresh bar was a great experience. We ordered the soba tofu wrap and the garden veggie wrap. Both were very filling, fresh, and extremely delicious. We also tried the avocado toast which was one of the best I’ve had. I’m a volume eater, and believe me, I did not leave hungry. The owner, Curtis, was very gracious and took his time to answer all of our questions and give additional information. It was money well spent and I really look forward to a return trip!“

“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“

“Paul’s customer service was top notch! Highly recommend! Awesome chai lattes, the best ever !“

“I’ve been here a couple of times and I love the atmosphere and pastries, but as a fellow barista, today the customer service was poor..I politely asked if I could have my drink hot instead because it was served iced (16 oz). No fault there, I did not mention it and the young lady at the register did not ask either. But when I got my hot drink from the barista, it was a small cup.. she walked over, sat it on my table and didn’t say anything. I understand they had to redial espresso and she may have been backed up a drink or two.. but giving me a small cup felt like a statement when the iced drinks are large.. I didn’t feel like dealing with another change so I let it be. It just left a poor taste in my mouth because I was very nice and completely fine with waiting for my coffee and was not rude about asking for my drink to be hot. If anyone’s gonna be upset with anyone, reiterate to your coworker to make sure they know if the customer wants an iced or hot drink, but don’t have an attitude with me and make me feel like I inconvenienced you.. I’m paying for a drink, you are literally getting paid to do your role and responsibilities.“

“This coffee wasn’t to bad. Service was pretty quick. Several pour over options. I don’t have a ton to say about it as it wasn’t an exceptional cup of coffees but it was an enjoyable coffee to start my day. Able to drink it with no problem. I didn’t have any food but lots of pastries. Nice little atmosphere on the inside. I would assume this is best shop in this area. I didn’t try any others but they did a good job.“

“I love getting the mix dozen(s)! I usually order off of Uber Eats, but when I do go in the space is so lovely and calming. If you do order in person I do recommend letting them know which ones you want in your mix box! Unless you dont care. Other than that this is such a lovely place.“

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

“I went to this coffee shop for the first time and instantly loved the classy, clean, and local vibe of it! What was even better was that this Black-owned shop delivered in good service and outstanding quality and great varieties of coffee and teas! I had the delicious salted caramel latte!! And the best part was LITERALLY THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I have ever had at a coffee shop!! I had the turkey and cheese deluxe sandwich with their house sauce and Swiss cheese! It amazed me of how fresh, soft, and lightly sweet the croissant bread was, and how delightfully flavorful the rest of the sandwich was!! I gotta go back!!“

“If you want the worlds best coffee this is where you should go. (No seriously) Anthology Coffee is a really great place. Its has a chill vibe, covered in plants, outdoor seating, its really cool. The Coffee is amazing. They roast it right there in the cafe and get it from small farmers all over the world who don't use any pesticides or GMO's. The pastries are great and they are all gluten free and they usually have something savory on weekends (It goes fast, so be there early). The baristas are really great and its kid friendly. Anthology Coffee is wheel chair accessible, there is a lot across the street with free parking, its great for groups, really anyone. Its located on 1948 Division St in Eastern Market which is really great cause you can head over to the market after or go for a nice walk on the Diquindre Cut. My sister lives in Detroit and every time I visit we always go to Anthology Coffee, I really love going there. Anthology Coffee is an amazing place, the people there actually care about the quality of coffee and where it comes from, they don't exploit their employees or customers, and really make a difference. The Anthology Coffee family is even better than coffee itself. I would definitely recommend checking it out.“

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

“love this spot! I decided to leave a review to request that you please get shades on the windows we can adjust during the day. It gets blazing hot and difficult to see my screen when working / studying in the cafe - which is the main reason I come here. Other than that, the coffee and food is great and it's a beautiful location.“

“the coffee was good and it's a cool place to check out. The staff was not friendly at all. we understand they were grieving a coworker, but it was weird when we said "good morning" that she just ignored us. this happened twice so it wasn't like she didn't hear us“

“Been several times and I continue to crave it. Fresh and delicious sandwiches, friendly staff, well worth the drive.“

“Absolutely loved this little cafe! The coffee was delicious and wonderfully aromatic, and the croissant was incredible — fresh, buttery, and exactly what I wanted. Great atmosphere too. Everything about the visit was excellent, and I’d definitely come back.“

“Best Hot Mocha I’ve ever had!“

“I had a delicious biscuit and a Black Tonic! Very interesting beverage if you’re feeling a little daring - I liked it!“

“Our favorite neighborhood coffee shop!“

“Cute, hidden gem. I love the idea of a cafe and laundromat combo! Genius 💡. I’m also looking forward to bringing my family by to wash rugs and have lunch! Super nice staff and clean environment 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Love their unique flavors and the granola. They’re amazing!!“

“A unique and welcoming space that offers much more than a café experience. What first attracted me was the natural connection between People's Records and Trinosophes, making it easy to continue exploring Detroit's creative and cultural scene in one visit.

The café provides a spacious, open environment that is perfect for working, reading, enjoying a healthy meal, or simply relaxing with a coffee. I especially enjoyed browsing the books displayed throughout the space, which add to the calm and thoughtful atmosphere.

There is also a performance stage that hosts a variety of events and artistic performances. Visitors can check the Trinosophes website for upcoming programs and events.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, creating an environment where it is easy to feel comfortable whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or planning to spend a few hours working or meeting friends.

If you're looking for a creative community space that combines good food, coffee, books, art, and culture, Trinosophes is well worth a visit.“

“Milwaukee Coffee ☕ is Harry Potter chamber of secrets waiting for you to explore if you just finished your visit at the Food factory nearby.

You will not realize how low profile while luxury their indoor area is decorated, as most people sitting on the sidewalk area.

The weak lightings decorates the entire indoor area with sense of mystery, and the simple red-brick wall and wall papers simplify everything here.

This is a place definitely worth your 30-min to obtain the peaceful piece of mind in the old district.“

“Excellent teams & service. The curation of food offerings doesn’t seem to match the high quality of the beverages. Food offerings are good, some great even, but inconsistent and lackluster packaged goods in this urbane and refined cafe / financial hub.

Great comfortable seating and gathering options; but the lack of air conditioning in the all glass dining area makes it a bit uncomfortable on even mild days. Mgmt knows this and has placed a couple huge comfort air fans that help, if you sit close enough. For that, I dinged the cafe one star less for atmosphere.

Great spot! Well trained baristas and nice hot beverages!“

“I stopped in today because I stumbled upon this cute little spot. I was incredibly happy in all areas. The space is so perfect, it’s not very big inside at all but it doesn’t really need to be. Most people grabbing coffee in town are in and out with things to do. The person greeted us promptly and made a perfectly warmed hot chocolate for my son which he very much enjoyed. He loved the latte art so much. My mother and I had Carmel lattes and they were the best I’ve had honestly ever. They were very good conversation while making the drinks as well. My fiancé is jealous and we will be stopping in again very soon.“

“REQUIRES PASSCODE

Super spacious, clean, and accessible. If you're looking to find a coffee shop where you can work and have a nice restroom as an option. This is the place.

Definitely the top spot in Corktown for coffee shop restrooms.“

“Kept driving by and always wanted to try it....so I did. I ordered a large coffee with cream and sugar, and a half dozen box of mixed donuts that included Birthday Cake, Cherry Almond, Blueberry, Brown Butter, Vanilla Bean, and Raspberry with Sprinkles. OhhhhMyyyyyGoooooodness......best donuts just about that I've ever had. 1000x better than chain or grocery store donuts 🤤 Soooo much flavor 👌🏻 I ordered off a delivery app, so not sure about store cleanliness or friendliness but they were accurate and fast! Definitely will order from here again, and try a different variety 😋“

“Cute little spot. Great food. Friendly and helpful service.
Nice little gem of a coffee shop.

Ordered a London Fog for the first time. Now keeping my fingers crossed that this becomes a more popular menu item across Detroit/Metro Detroit.

Absolutely delicious. ❤️“

“Went here and got a decent amount of pastries amd brought some family with us. Usually when we go here they put it in a box and tie it but instead put it inside of a white paper bag. Not as great as it used to be in our opinion but not the worst either.“

“First time going, but the music and drinks were fantastic“

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

“Hands down best mixed bowl I had this year. I grabbed the Bengali one I believe it’s called. Very creamy fresh meat and even fresher rice. It also comes with a drink. They also have zero sugar options. Perfect lunch/dinner honestly loved every bite. Located on the first floor next to the cafe joint. Will be coming again!“

“I had a last minute morning meeting at work where I had to bring in drinks and food, and for the life of me I was not having an luck with where I can go to and solve my problem. I was about 2 minutes away from this specific Biggby and let me say, thank the Lord that was the case.

I walked in and the gentleman who was helping me, who later told me he was the owner of the establishment, was the picture definition of what customer service should be.

I dropped a large order on them with no prior notice, during their busy time, and was met with nothing but positivity on the staffs end. The whole team was moving like a well oiled machine. They finished my order, by extension saving my behind in an extremely timely manner.

Thankfully, the pros don’t stop there. The food was a hit! The breakfast sandwiches were so fresh you’d think they were home made. I’ve always been a fan of their coffee in general so I’m not sure if it was just the positive experience influencing my taste buds, but the coffee was also to die for!

I’m so glad to have found a quality establishment to frequent next to my job that doesn’t break the bank or sacrifice quality for profits. The only regret I have is not having stopped by sooner! Thanks guys!“

“Muy Delicioso y saludable 🫶♥️😍 y la atención excelente 🫶👍👍“
