50 Best Cafes near Ferndale

“Wonderful place to spend an afternoon. Yummy food and the waitstaff is great!“

“Best bathroom ever! Lol. Coffee and baked goods are also amazing! Everyone is so friendly.“

“strawberry rhubarb poptart is AMAZING!“

“I’d only been to the UP location last year (and just about died when I found out they were in MI again), so when I saw this location on the way to a job interview a few months later I knew that was it. The Caribou may have influenced me into not only taking, but staying in the job more than the job did if we’re being honest. I get an espresso shaker and a random food item at least once a week and it’s the best part of my commute. Every barista is always so chipper and pleasant when I pull up, it’s enough to make me forget the harsh reality that this is no longer 2004. Give these people a medal because there’s no need for all that at 7 something in the morning, but they do it anyway with a smile and they do it well. I’ve been coming here for a few months and the worst thing I’ve ever experienced was a slightly crunchier croissant roll. I literally cannot recall a drink error ever. In fact, one time I ordered a soufflé and they gave me a raspberry scone but the scone was so good I didn’t actually notice I didn’t order it until I was almost done. I don’t know if that’s says more about me or the scone, but I wasn’t even disgruntled, I was just pleasantly surprised. I may be messy, but this Caribou never is. This coffee will heal me.“

“I work next door in Ferndale, And when I tell you they have the most incredibly, delicious, moist, vegan chocolate zucchini bread, I mean it. 😍“

“Very unique small-business model, lovely peaceful atmosphere, very specialty coffee! The traditional japanese style coldbrew is the best cold coffee Ive ever had. The staff was a diverse array of backgrounds and identities, all super kind. Definitely a Safe Space for All!

Vegetarian options: Grilled cheese croissant is my favorite!“

“Love that there are many options - I love the tea options so many great flavors. Great prices for the size you get as well. Customer was amazing when I came and gave me great recommendations I can’t wait till I come back to try more flavors because my drink was good especially In this summer heat it was so refreshing.“

“YUM! I had an excellent new latte today. I am very specific about lattes (not in a mean way) but I love a lot of ice. Syd and Gwynn made my drink today and it is so good. Also, if you ever have Krystal take your order, you are in luck, she is the sweetest human being ever. Love this place!!“

“Smoothie was wonderful. So smooth and delicious. Angelina was super nice and helpful. ❤️“

“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!“

“My brother in law found this place because he was diagnosed with diabetes, he likes the sweets and their keto cookies are amazing. They have all sorts of sweet baked goods, but the cookies and the keto cheese cake will take the edge off for the sweet baked goods cravings. This is a neat neighborhood business that is clean, offers great goods and the service is very friendly. Give them a chance and you will discover that you will not be disappointed.

Dietary restrictions: Good keto cookies.“

“If you complain about the drinks, try other ones. Their drinks are too good. I literally cannot choose which is my favorite out of five of them. Everyone is quiet, not obnoxious, and respectful. The service is great. They make sure to always greet you and say goodbye when you leave. They always inform you if your drink needs stirring. They always show gratitude towards tips, and this also helps the atmosphere feel cozy and warm. I love the music playing in the background and how sometimes they even take song requests. 10/10 for everything.“

“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“

Huge shout out to the owners/operators of this fine establishment and I recommend going here over any other cookies spot in the Detroit Metropolitan Area“

“Favorite spot in town… and in general. Best spot for a relaxed morning, sitting outside. Staff are always friendly and drinks are consistent. Big huge fan! Not the place for working on a laptop, which is my favorite part, just pausing to enjoy the moment!“

“Delicious coffee, awesome vibe, friendly and helpful staff!!“

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

“A nice place to stop by look around and enjoy one of their hundreds of books, with a great cup of coffee or tea. The decor reminded me of simpler times. Will definitely return.“

“What a wonderful place and the coffee was fantastic“

“$50
pricing is all over the place, esp appetizer section, very much so not worth the price

portion sizes for numerous items incredibly small for asking price. very hit+miss based on what you order. on top of that, being asked tipping for counter service when Bill is already $50 is a LOT.“

“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....“

“Monarch Market Cafe has become a staple of Huntington Woods, MI. As a resident of the neighborhood, promoter of small businesses and an avid coffee lover, this is my go to spot for a delicious latte or a quick bite to eat. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff are super friendly and their diverse menu has something delicious for everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend stopping in to experience this amazing, local cafe.“

“OUTSTANDING pastries, cakes, desserts, crepes, potato pancakes and variety of European foods!“

“Great!!! Very nice place!“

“Dairy Fairies Cafe is a hidden gem in Hamtramck. It’s a beautiful place! The cafe was beautifully decorated, and I was amazed by everything. I visited a while ago, so my pictures are a bit old. But even with pictures, it doesn't do it justice.

The staff were really lovely and friendly. I ordered a mango smoothie, an egg and cheese croissant, a boba iced coffee, Nutella mini pancakes, and a lotus shake with an everything bagel. Everything was delicious and came with cute stickers.

Overall, it’s a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great food. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We absolutely loved this place!
It has a peaceful, cozy, and welcoming atmosphere — perfect for working, writing, reading, or simply enjoying a coffee, tea, or a snack from the menu.

The music is soothing, and the vibe is ideal for focusing and feeling inspired.
Laptops are welcome, and everything is spotless — clean, tidy, and well-organized.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

We tried the espresso and an herbal tea (chamomile and lavender) — both were delicious and thoughtfully prepared. They also serve decaf coffee espresso.

Outside, there’s a small garden with beautiful trees and flowers where the birds come to sing, making the scenary from the window even more delightful.

Inside, the presence of green plants adds even more charm — making the space feel warmer, more vibrant, and inviting.

The space is filled with natural light, has high ceilings, and features modern, visually pleasing decor.

It feels fresh, airy, and energetically clean — truly an inspiring place to be.
I would definitely come back.“

“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.“

“we stopped this afternoon and was truly amazed at how delicious the food there was ! The staff was polite and friendly too. I had the steak & cheese sub with fries, both were delicious and fries were crispy My wife's Chipotle chicken & cheese wrap was overflowing with both chicken and cheese! absolutely delicious! We will definitely be going back . I highly recommend this Cafe to everyone, you will not be disappointed!“

“This review is for the Royal Oak Roast only. The road is full of as*holes , the world going to sh*t more and more. The people in charge care not at all and we are on a very possible path to doom. Why not stop in at Royal Oak Roast? It’s a comfy place with great people watching. The coffee is wonderful and refills are a dollar. So many different coffee choices in all styles, including espresso over over Weiss vanilla ice cream!!! The kitchen, yes I said kitchen has scrumptious food that is presented beautifully with the seasonal selections. All this sound good? Well that’s not even the best part. It’s the staff. It’s a varied collection of kind, hard working people that make you feel welcomed and are always working hard to get your order out to you. Leave the stress behind and relax here with friends and future friends. You will be glad you came“

“Best experience every time!“

“I came to Michigan from NC to have a mini vacation with friends. We made plans to come here and had been looking forward to it for months. IT WAS SO AMAZING. We had one of the original Cloud Cakes (dressed up with Nutella and berries) a key lime cheesecake, and a dulce de leche cheesecake. Everything was phenomenal. The staff were very sweet and patient, answering all of our questions. 5 stars all the way!“

“Delicious pastries and baguettes 🥖

Outdoor seating is very convenient for warm weather. Indoor seating could feel a little too small.

The staff was nice and attentive. The place wasn't crowded when I was there.“

“Awesome food! Amazing staff!
Never a rush!
Pancakes were our main focus and were delicious and tasty! Very fluffy, hot, and the best around.
We also had omelets and hit the spot. Each flavor was packed with the good stuff, and portions are big, so we had to take some home. 🤩
Can't forget to mention the coffee- bold and strong - perfect!! 😋
Highly recommend 👌“

“I frequent this Panera Bread restaurant often when I visit my mom. I have had a couple snafu's on different occasions (as one does with any restaurant, such as a missing drink or chicken not being put on the side) & Corinna, the manager, has always helped me out with them with kindness, understanding, & patience. The snafu's haven't been catastrophic by any means but small minor mistakes. And she always goes out of her way to make things right. Reviews are not always for what that company got wrong but are also for giving the praise to someone who deserves it & I feel Corinna deserves it. I hope Panera Bread appreciates her & rewards her accordingly for excellent customer service!!“

“This is a family owned resturant in Highland Park. The food is fresh and made to order. The service is welcoming and feeling your being serviced by a member of your family. There is no indoor seating but when the weather is nice the small outdoor seating space is very nice. Highly Recommend. 😀“

“Always great food and atmosphere.“

“Chili Mexican is life so delicious“
