“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.“

“Why am I JUST now reviewing this amazing establishment? Strange... Considering It's been my favorite place to get fresh deliciousness for the past 2 years! The Power salad is THE best salad EVEER, I will never get tired of the layers of flavors and that DRESSING, OMG. Seriously. The dressing. And the avocado toast is so scrumptious! I love the sprinkle of pepitas, and the fact that there is a GF option makes my soul smile, THANK YOU Chef!🙏🏽 The juices, the smoothies, they're all my favorite, there's no way to choose a best one. Yum. So fresh and so clean. A special shout out to Curtis, for being awesome, and for bringing back the 6pm closing time! 🥳 This seriously made my Summer! Thank you! Now.. if we could just bring back the house music day parties on the patio... 😄“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“I was in the area and happened to stumble upon this low key spot. The staff was super friendly. I had the Mexican hot chocolate ☕️ and the burrito 🌯 both was great. I ended up hanging out for a while. Cool vibe would recommend and will definitely go again.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The staff was welcoming and all smiles! The iced vanilla latte with oak milk was handed to me, and delicious😋✨ I'm gonna say this once, no twice, get the biscuit! Trust me, get the biscuit! Got mine with egg (soft, fluffy and seasoned), white cheddar and a side of raspberry jam (IMO, sweet and savory just works). This was one of the best decisions I've made in a coffee shop! Get here. Expeditiously. The nice tall guy is the baker. He put so much love in that biscuit, it reminded me of what my grandma used to make♥ 10/10 highly recommend!“

“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“

“stopped by dessert oasis coffee roasters for a quick coffee break and really enjoyed it. the coffee was smooth, aromatic, and exactly the pick me up i needed. the shop had a cozy atmosphere that made it easy to sit back and relax for a while. definitely a great place to recharge whether you're starting your day or taking an afternoon break.“

“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.“

“My husband bought us a chocolate croissant and it was so good! Decided to go back and get a coffee later that day! We both got an iced vanilla latte and we both agreed it was so good and much better than our Tim Horton's vanilla latte we got the day before!“

“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“

“Our favorite neighborhood coffee shop!“

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

“Best Hot Mocha I’ve ever had!“

“this place is a one stop shop to cure my ails.
wonderful atmosphere, incredible artwork, and perched in a perfect place for a mid-day change of pace. i’d bet my hot cocoa money that barista Adela is Joan of Arc reincarnated, & if you ask her about food in detroit, she is armed to the gills with informed recommendations t“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Excellent location in Corktown with nice selection of pastries and green tea…the brownies and cheesecakes are delicious! Avocado toast was good as well. Great laid back atmosphere with comfortable seating. Wonderful meeting room also available. Pricey but worth a visit.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Fun, Friends, fantastic atmosphere❣“
