“I hosted a baby shower here and my expectations were completely blown out of the water. All of my guests raved about the food (even the kids under 10 loved it!). We did the afternoon tea service and it was perfect.Service was so kind and really read the room and knew when we needed things and when to leave us to our celebration.I cannot recommend this place enough, especially for an event!“
“I had to go back in and make sure my order was gluten free…. THATS HOW GOOD THIS WAS!!!! I got the pixie pixie tea and the gluten free/vegan chocolate tart . Perfection . I expected the tart to b super sweet and rich like fudge and though it was rich it was bit overpowering AT ALL. I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. Thanks so much for all the love you put into your products guys it really really shows. You’ll see me often ✌?☮️ - Lex“
“Love seeing a Caribou back in our neighborhood. The coffee is and will always be the best I've ever tasted from a corporate chain. The service at this location is fantastic, all the baristas are super helpful and super friendly, and every drink I've had has been super tasty. Definitely recommend!!Dietary restrictions: Got all the milks available!“
“Every location is fantastic, but shout out to the busy yet patient employees at the Ferndale location today who pulled a combined 40 oz of espresso for me and the woman in front of me who are making tiramisu for Christmas. The coffee is always fantastic, and it's a great place to chill and do some work, too, especially the West Village and Jefferson Greenway locations (I assume the Midtown spot, too, but I haven't been in yet).“

“I drive from.Novi to.go this little spot. Love the atmosphere and I have NEVER had a large Boba that large. And it was only like 5 bucks. Thats WILD.. Annnd they don't make you get the Boba In the bottom of your cup. which a lot of places do.Parking: Download the app - it really is faster“
“Everything but the price was perfect. Great first date vibes..... if you can afford it. Disclaimer: I don't know the going rates for coffee and its related\complimentary items.... hopefully my date doesn't see this and think I'm cheap lol.“
“Oh my lord, all of the options looked scrumptious. We ordered a pistachio and chocolate croissant, Blackberry/Blueberry croissant, an Almond croissant, Smoked Salmon sandwich, Chicken sandwich and a loaf of Sourdough bread. Everything was excellent and very fresh. It's pricey but worth the splurge occasionally.“
“I really enjoy going into Season Market on regular basis in enjoying such a beautiful atmosphere with the most friendly welcoming service always. The variety of foods has kept me on track in eating healthier meals. I'm always meeting new friends and enjoying delicious coffee and soups during my visit. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ +Kid-friendliness: Simply the BEST!!!!“
“We ate at Basan Detroit on a Saturday evening (we were among the first to arrive at 4pm). Overall, we had a positive experience. The cocktails and food were creative, and intriguing to our taste buds. We highly recommend and will come back again to try other menu items. Below is additional details of our dining experience. Place: New and at a great location. It's next to the Little Caesars Arena. We were worried about parking because of the hockey games, but because we arrived early we were able to find an inexpensive metered street parking (otherwise park at the garage or use valet). The interior is spacious, modern and elegant. Chairs are comfortable and there's adequate lighting. Services: Excellent. Our server was friendly and the restaurant staff made sure our glasses of water are always refilled and empty dishes were quickly taken away. Cocktails: Although I am usually a whiskey or bourbon person, the cocktails are creative and full of flavor. Ube-B was an interesting mix of vodka, berry, and crispy taste of black sesame, but delicious. Food: Flavorful and fulfilling. We walked away feeling like we were in heaven. We enjoyed all of our choices and definitely will come back again. Quick Review of our Choices: Cocktails: Baba Baba Old Fashioned (whiskey) - great mix for an old fashioned, just how I would like to enjoy it. Night City (bourbon) - little stronger than old fashioned, but perfect. Ube-Be (vodka) - an interesting mix of vodka, berry, and crispy taste of black sesame, but delicious. Swimming Bird (shochu - Japanese liquor)- First time I had shochu. The mix reminds me of lime sprite. I would enjoy having it again. Buns: Lobster- I did not try it, but looks appetizing. Fried Oyster- creamy with kimchi heat. Love it. Chicken Kastu- delectable, especially with curry. My favorite. Small: Chicken Liver Mousse- milk bread was crispy, and the chicken liver mouse was delicious (a bit chilled, but yummy nonetheless). Our favorite, we would have it again. Tornado Potato- great spiral potato, kinda like crispy chips with sauce. Gyoza- savory lamb stuffed gyoza and sweet potato puree, delightful combo. Large: Udon - creamy dish of noodles with eggs, there's a heat aftertaste, mild but delicious. Kalbi Short Ribs- appetizing and flavorable. Dessert: Tofu Donuts- we were hesitating because we are not a fan of Tofu, but this dessert surprised us. Taste just like cinnamon sugar Donuts. Careful, allow it to cool down to enjoy it. Soft Serve- vanilla soft serve in ginger waffle, ginger candies, and marshmallow, an interesting combo, but delicious and sweet.“
“I tried Dairy Fairies Cafe on Wednesday and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The strawberry shortcakes pancakes and nutella strawberry banana crepe was amazing along with the strawberry lemonade refresher! The owners take such great pride in their business and the food they serve their customers! I will definitely be going back!Kid-friendliness: Children will love this cafe as it is beautifully decorated with a fun backdrop!“

“We just had the best service here! And great coffee, tea, and treats! We had went on a walk and decided to treat ourselves to a coffee. After our order was ready and we went pay we found that I lost my license and id along our walk. OYE! They were so kind and patient with us with our frantic responses. They had us take our order anyway and said that they 'trust us'. Luckily, we found my id and card and went back and paid. They were still super nice when I went back in. We will be back and tell everyone else they should go as well!! You just don't have that small town feel anywhere else around here.“
“I finally had a chance to visit the highly regarded, Hudson Cafe. It was worth the wait...delicious food, outstanding service by Julian, and the atmosphere was full of good vibes. Can't wait to go back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options on the menu. The chef was able to remove dairy products from my menu selection to fit my preferences.Parking: Down the block from the restaurant, there is a huge parking garage. Plenty of spaces. $12 for 2 hours, on a weekday.Kid-friendliness: We took a group of elementary school children there, and it was perfect. The servers were patient and accommodating. Now, the food orders were huge, so most of the children had to go boxes. We saw other children there with families - babies, toddlers, teens, etc.“
“Upon entering the establishment I was greeted by the young lady?. There was a regular customer whom conversed with me about his favorite. The cookies are a nice size and delicious. The decor is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend and we must support our own people and Community ,keep our money in the neighborhood . The prices are good. Good Cookie be prosperous and thank you.“
“I cannot believe it took me so long to discover this not-so-hidden jewel, which is only minutes away from my home. My husband and I ditched our normal Saturday brunch to drop in on Detroit Sip. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the products. Detroit Sip's vibe is like a warm, neighborly hug. The decor is whimsical and inviting. My caramel latte and cheese Danish were very goodMy husband also enjoyed his dark roast and muffin. We'll be back, in fact I tried to return the following Tuesday morning. Guess I should have paid attention to the hours listed.“
“I've been here probably a dozen times for coffee and snacks. Finally got a larger meal today. The bread (possibly sourdough) is amazing. Some of the best I've had In the city. And it was a generous chunk with my soup. Next time I'm getting a sandwich “
“This is definitely an establishment you don't want to miss out on visiting. Their service is always impeccable and friendly and very welcoming. Their pastries are amazing, their coffee and the ambiance is beautiful.It gives you all the warm and cozy feels of visiting your favorite grandma. ✨ I would highly recommend visiting this establishment it's great for business, meeting up with friends, and they also allow you to rent out the space for private events!“
“First time coming here and I was so pleased with how many activities they have for toddlers other than the jungle gym area, there’s so much to do. You can spend hours here. The staff are super friendly , the place is very clean. Also we ordered lunch from next door and it was fantastic . This will definitely be our new to go place.“
“We had our sober social and karaoke night at The Congregation. They were amazing. They had everything we needed and helped to make sure we were all set for our event. The mocktails were a huge hit and the coffee is the greatest. We’ll definitely be back.“
“Never disappointed when visiting my favorite tearoom, The Fern. The owner, Theresa, is a kind, caring host who takes her time to match guests to the perfect tea. Whether you’re looking for hot or cold tea, The Fern has one that’s bound to make your tastebuds dance! Additionally, the place is cozy and relaxing, which makes it the perfect place to read a book, complete a puzzle, or chat with a friend.“
“Really great coffee and bagel was yum. The egg on the bagel and chive cream cheese were also delicious.I’m a little confused about the shopping sections in the corner of the restaurant but I guess that’s cool that they’re supporting local business. It just threw me off and it would’ve been nice if there were more tables… I had to sit outside. Luckily it was a nice enough day.“
“Literally enjoyed my time here to study, the place is so chill. Service is great and the coffee is too! Desserts are yummy, my fav is the Caramel Milk Cake, I got it as a carry out and It didn't make it past the table ?I would like them to add just 1 or 2 warm savory items to the menu and bamn, they'll have to evict me! ?? Try this place if you want more comfort while studying, I'm sure you'll love it! ☺️“
“All I can say is WOW!! What an absolute gem in downtown Royal Oak. The service was exceptional and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Amber, who is an absolute sweetheart. The cinnamon bun smoothie, and the soup that I ordered were absolutely delicious. I will definitely be a repeating customer after this amazing first visit.“
“The food here is awesome - healthy, clean, creative and delicious. They have a great selection. It will be my go-to place for lunch. Friendly, attentive staff who care about your experience really makes it a perfect place and I’ve heard their smoothies are awesome too.“
“Five15 is the best drag bar/restaurant in metro Detroit. Ask for Cookie or Brian to be your server, they are exceptional. If you are a fan of the TV show RuPaul's Drag Race, this is the place to go in metro Detroit. They book many of the drag queen contestants to perform in their Brunch shows.Parking: Parking in Royal Oak is free on Sundays and holidays. On all other days you have to pay from 11am-midnight. I'd recommend the Parking garages, as they let you park for the first two hours for free before having to pay.“
“We tried this bakery/cafe and the food was wonderful. I had a combo with chicken salad and slightly spicy tomato basil soup on the best grain bread and a delightful cinnamon oatmeal cookie. I could eat this every day and not get tired of it. I'll be in there every time I'm in the area to try different things, but I'm sure most of the time it will be chicken salad and tomato basil. Yum yum and yum!“
“I had been going to Birmingham Roast for years before Royal Oak Roast opened, and it is just as amazing as the original. Drinks are incredible (though the “Joy” drinks are pretty sweet, I always order half sweet), the breakfast burrito is a must try, as is the açaí bowl. They constantly have new “seasonal” menu items which is great for regulars to get something new to try. This will forever be my favorite coffee shop in the metro Detroit area!!“
“This is my favourite spot for anything cheese and desserts. I met the owner during one of my visits. She talks and walks this lifestyle and is incredibly passionate in her craft which speaks to the amazing quality and creativity of her products and the restaurant itself!!“
“Norman was the kindest when I stumbled upon his Cafe while in Troy! Was here for work and saw the awesome reviews so decided to check it out. While there, he was so sweet to offer the rest of my work crew (who was working out in the cold, rain that night) a cannister of coffee for everyone! Thank you so much, Norman! Amazing coffee and service! :)“
“i love coffee so I’m pretty picky with where I go for coffee! I had the kuppa joy and latte (both with oat milk) and they were absolutely perfect! Highly recommend this over any Starbucks. Staff was friendly, environment was chill. Can’t wait to come back!“
“The food is absolutely worth it. I'm obsessed with their Patricia melt and every ?vegan?treat?is to weep for? Chefs kiss!The atmosphere is PERFECT if you enjoy hearing strangers conversations (which I do) and dimly lit places (which I absolutely do I'm hideous).Great joint!Vegetarian options: They got veggies don't you worry :3Dietary restrictions: It's pretty much a health hub, whatever restrictions you have they'll likely be able to accommodate.“
“So this rating is for the desserts only. My Wife and I were at the DIA not that long ago and stopped at Kresge Court for a quick snack. The crème brûlée was phenomenal. As were the donut bites. It's a fun place to stop and rest for a bit while you're exploring the DIA“
“Rose latte and tomato basil soup are *cgef’s kiss* delicious. I recently visited three days in a row because of how yummy the food. It is a tiny restaurant and the prices are in the more expensive side (20% tip is factored in to the prices). There is a good amount of street “
“This will sound fake but it’s not I promise it was just that good, The food was amazing, we were a whole group of 7 and everyone’s meal was amazing, the vibe was beautiful and they’re fries and sandwiches were honestly fresh. Their coffee was good too, we were surprised no one else was there“
“Rating is based on the food. The food is pretty good. Sometimes the potatoes are undercooked. I do miss the old owner and old building... the new decor/paint/flooring is so bland. It was adorable before, now it looks like a caucasian mom's "live laugh love" decorated kitchen. The prices have definitely gone up over the years, but that's inflation. Overall, it's a nice spot to bring family and friends, but I really cannot see the vision with the decor and grey color scheme. It's really disappointing!“
“Omg the reviews do not do this place justice!!! Let me start off with the warm greetings they give when you walk in. So nice. Then the amazing smells that hit you as soon as you walk in. Fantastic! I got the lemon bar, the chocolate chip cookie, a breakfast sandwich and a kale salad with chicken. The lemon bar was so delicious, with a perfect crust, and creamy inside, I ate the whole thing while waiting for my sandwich. The cookie was great as well. The sandwich which they told me was put on bread they bake in house was absolutely delicious. Great crunch, eggs and the other ingredients inside tasted so yummy. The salad tastes fresh and not soggy. The chicken is served cold, but still really good with no weird after taste. Everything was a 10/10 I totally recommend this spot if you’re downtown. I’m in school down here and the service was quick enough for me to order, and still make it with plenty of time to get back to class. I will definitely be back daily. I’m praying I get my clinical’s close by so I can come back after this class term.“
“Great sandwiches, fresh salad, sad GFS ranch. That’s the only negative, though. Everything was delivered fresh and on time through EZ Cater. I love that they use Boar’s Head meats and cheeses and their prices are very fair. If they upgrade their dressings, I’ll give them 5 stars! Very friendly, great for both small and large groups. Will order again.“
“Detroit's most unique hidden Gem next door to Detroit Art Institute. Small World Kitchen 5 different cuisines all made to perfection, wondering why our local media doesn't show this small family business some Love. Open 6 years now hidden in the basement of International Institute on Kirby with a big sign out front. Open 11am till 4:30 Monday thru Saturday in a bright beautiful dining room. Baba, ma and daughter working in front of the house, just walk up order take a seat. They bring your meal to the table. Abe runs this cafe with his family, and always provides a delicious meal for an affordable price. It completely fits the location at International Institute to have a variety of ethnic dishes to choose from, and Abe has a way of bringing out the flavors in a dish that is hard to find for this price. A hidden lunchtime gem in the heart of the cultural district Detroit. He's a Lebanese Master Chef trained in France, the menu includes food and drinks from 5 unique cuisines and symbolizes the true inclusiveness of Detroit. See the website full menu and reviews We had a marvelous mixed plate of Indian Lamb and Chicken Curry with Naan bread. It was some of the very best ever eaten. A delicious Falafel Plate with Tahini for dipping. She had Chicken Tawook with Fatoush Salad and Hummus totally fabulous. She had a bowl of Indian Daal Soup OMG such explosive flavor . Please see all the great 5 star reviews around the web Yelp and Google, place is a must visit for all you foodies. Prices are cheaper than any restaurants Downtown Detroit, hey they cater too. #smallworldkitchendetroit @smallworldkitchendetroit #worldcusine #lambcurry #chickentawook #falafel #daalsoup #lowprices #detroithiddengems“
“Purchased a mango cake for a friend's birthday event. Place came highly recommended from a neighbor. I never would have known about this business without the recommendation. Everyone enjoyed the cake - not too sweet, plenty of fruit $40 cash only. Not the cleanest place in the world- but not too bad“
“Several friends recommended this caffe! I stopped in before 8 a.m. and was serviced immediately! The interior has a warm feel- I wanted a caramel macchiato, but they were out of caramel, so I tried the cinnamon honey option. The barista was very pleasant and helpful. They use recyclable materials, which is great! They had coffee options and croissants available this morning. They have street parking.“
“Friendly staff and great coffee/food. I go here almost every day and am greeted with smiles without fail. They even went ahead and wrote down my order next to the cashier because I always get the same thing. On rough days, stopping in for just a few minutes at this location gives me a lift. It’s my permanent coffee spot.“
“Friendly staff and one of the few coffee places near the Henry Ford main campus. Prefer a simple cup of black coffee when the coffee is quality. Usually request extra coffee when doing a pour over. Usually I avoid the specialty flavored coffees: cherry, vanilla, or hazelnut. I can do a light or dark roast. Flavored coffee is not my cup of tea, as the mixed analogy goes.“
“Came here for brunch with a group of friends and we had a great time. I ordered the blueberry Ricotta pancakes with lemon curd, potatoes, jalapeno polenta, and Earl Grey tea. The pancakes were so delicious, you didn't even need syrup. The potatoes were cooked well, but could have used more seasoning. The polenta was creamy and flavorful. My tea was enjoyable and tasted like high quality Earl Grey.The only negative is the customer service could have been better. The waiters weren't very attentive or personable. We found ourselves having to flag them down or get up and find a staff person if we wanted something. Could have just been an off day though. Totally coming back. This is an awesome place for brunch.“
“My cousin is a regular here and this was my first time here. This is a fantastic little shop. Their menu is extensive but filled with great things. They also operate as a snack and liquor shop with specialty items. The food I had was well made and the service is friendly. You can really see that the locals love this place and come here often. It's a place that is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.“
“It was a pleasure to find this place so close to us. Delicious coffee with filling and flavorful dishes, such as the classic waffle and karaage chicken, is a combo that'll keep me coming back again and again. Heavily recommend visiting multiple times as there are tons of different dishes to try!“
“My 3 friends and I came in on a busy taco Tuesday night and all of our food was so delicious and came out so fast!! This is definitely a place we’ll be coming back to for sure, especially for it being our first time eating here. Shout out to the owner and staff they’re amazing and I’d rate the food and service a defiant 1000/10.“
“OMG absolutely delicious! The huevos rancheros was not what my bf expected tho. No chorizo in it, but he still loved it. My loaded berry french toast was AMAZING. This place is really cute. Has a nice small diner feel to it. The food came out really quick too. And our server was very attentive and very nice.“
“I haven’t been to this bakery in years, and I noticed that it seems to have adopted a more corporate style compared to its previous, more personal atmosphere. It’s still nice, but I don’t feel the same sense of attachment to this place as I did before. So sad.Also, quite pricey, a smoked salmon sandwich cost $17.“
“Le Crepe is always amazing! The staff are attentive and the crepes are fresh every time. They’re stuffed with tasty goodness and will have you wanting more; I haven’t ever had a crepe that I didn’t like from here. It’s far from where I live, but it’s worth the drive to support a small business!“
“The first callout I have to make is I absolutely LOVE the diversity of choices in this menu. They have so much more unique options than your standard coffee shop and all of them are so different. Their menu represents so many countries and regions, including Moroccan, Hong Kong, Brazilian, Spanish, Viennese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Japanese, Indian, Sudanese, etc. This is a place that you can just keep coming back to and try completely different flavors and styles of coffee and tea with every visit and I really appreciate that. They also have small snack options, with my favorite being the Nutella taiayaki. This was a pleasant surprise for me since I'm generally not the biggest fan of classic red bean taiyaki. I ended up ordering the Brazilian style latte and my girlfriend got the London fog. We both loved our drinks and would definitely return to try others. As for the space, it's certainly not what I expected but I really liked the concept. Meillie Coffee is just one of a few vendors who all share a really large space (with TONS of seating). They also have sandwiches and ice cream available at the other vendors, so you can probably come here in the morning and end up spending enough time working until you want lunch from the other vendor as well.“
