50 Best Cafes near Grosse Pointe Park

“I read a negative review below about how Lucky's coffee isn't as good and to go to LeRouge and I think this person has it backwards. I love Lucky's coffee. It's creamy, nutty, and consistent.Jason, the barista, is far more than a slinger of caffeinated libations. He is a cultivator of community and camaraderie, always so pleasant to chat with. He always remembers me, the warmth of which you won't find at Red Hook Indian Village. It's everything you could want in a local coffee shop.However, my one suggestion for refinement (and why I took off one star) is the baked goods. The croissants, in particular, are devoid of the joie de vivre one expects from such a French patisserie classic. Their almond croissant’s frangipane doesn't possess that dense creaminess, and its dough is bereft of that crispy flakiness as you'll find elsewhere. A modest proposition: perhaps Lucky's could source their croissants from Golden Wheat in Warren (also a revered supplier to Atomic Coffee in Royal Oak).All in all, I would absolutely recommend Lucky's coffee--not just for their coffee but for the experience, steeped in authenticity and charm.Going on a walk or coming after a yoga class? Check it out! Or just go because you need your morning fix. It's one of my favorite coffee shops to go to and I don't need to drive all the way to Red Hook Indian Village anymore.“

“Beautiful place, lovely owner and delish food! Her cafe is so orerty“

“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.“

“comfortable, friendly and clean... the best breakfast in town.“

“OMG!!!! BEST CREPE EVER!!!!You have to come try this place! I’m from Texas and this is by far, the best place in Detroit, Michigan for that matter!Super friendly and kind! Very clean!Better than the crepes I had in France and Germany! It so good!“

“Beautiful setting, very clean and pretty store with quality products and a great coffee and soup bar.“

“The restaurant has a nice atmosphere but the food could have been hot. The potatoes were unseasoned but the omelet was excellent.“

“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.“

“Great food. Fast friendly service and love the music!“

“I love this place! I will never go any where else! Clean and friendly. I've never had such great service and coffee! I had surgery on my knees and the owner brought my coffee to my car. Try and beat that!!!!“

“Fantastic coffee at no nonsense prices!! They looked and tasted like we were at a sidewalk cafe in Italy!! The sandwich was big enough for hubby and I to share so that we were each able to get a small treat!!! a perfect lunch!! Very quaint and friendly atmosphere!!“

“Very clean and fun establishment! I enjoyed my “Twisted Tornado” along with a Hawaiian burger and Onion Rings. Not giving a full 5 stars as a few preventable issues occurred; we got one napkin but there were two of us eating, the Onion Rings didn’t have what was advertised on them (I didn’t correct this as I noticed after), and we had to put through 2 orders as an item was missing the first time around. Would definitely come again and recommend regardless!“

“Great latte’s & pastry’s. The staff and atmosphere are always nice as well.“

“Love it!!! The atmosphere is amazing for the mature crowds. I go weekly and highly recommend it!!“

“Very good unique food options and excellent coffee options, we even ordered a 2nd round of coffee to go it was so good. Extremely friendly service. Really enjoyed the entire experience.“

“amazing little Cafe, delicious food and drinks! I would definitely come more often if there was wifi so I could work while I'm there!“

“This is the place to go for some amazing gelato, bread, and an authentic, neighborly atmosphere. Hands down! Employees are fantastic, gelato flavors are amazing, and even the patrons will give you a nod, smile, and the friendly comment about the espresso - or the football game that day.“

“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“

“Fabulous establishment, Fabulous treats and soul warming food, and Famously Fabulous Family!!“

“Nice place for study or board game~“

“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!“

“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.“

“great food at affordable prices!! the staff is so friendly and amazing!! recommend everyone to give it a try!“

“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.“

“We just celebrated Mother's Day with my family. You must come. Great food, excellent service and beautiful decor. Thanks for making this a very special day,“

“Great food. Great staff. Nice place to chill.“

“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.“

“Great spot to grab some baked goods!I’ve tried almost everything they have to offer since they opened and most of it was pretty good.Recently however, multiple things have changed!- Some prices were raised (which is fine for certain items).- Not as much variety in pastries.- Signs were posted on the tables for guests to only stay for a maximum of 30 minutes between 10am - 2pm which are breakfast, brunch and lunch hours. Given that Kava is only open 8am-4pm!I personally find that unethical!I recommend to try KAVA for sure.“

“Went in today in this rainy day and food was very good. And staff was friendly.“

“Really great atmosphere to come hang out and talk with people you have not seen in a long time“

“Amazing food and drink would recommend“

“Found a delicious vanilla latte; plus the dirty chai was super strong and had a unique spiced flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was excellent, soft but with crispy edges, just like I like it, and the yummy chocolate bites mmm so sweet. The eggy breakfast sandwich was perfect on a fluffy savory biscuit. It had an interesting cream cheese spread mixed in making the eggs nice and creamy and the pickle slices made for a nice surprise. I do wish we got a bit more of the side salad because I enjoy my greens! The neighborhood doesn't seem like the safest, but it was still great to stop by this chill spot by chance during our visit to Detroit!“

“Love this place! Great food with lots of flavour! Nice people working and just a totally welcoming environment! Love the music and they are always playing local music often!As a student the good quality/healthy food that meets many of mine and my friends different dietary needs!Whenever I order anything I don't like they offer to make me a new one! Wayyyyy nicer than any other place near my campus!I can't express how much I love this café! As a small townie moving to this city it's like a slice of home!Not only that but they are dog friendly and have lots of quirky little elements to breath good vibes into the place!“

“Tarte had nice flavor light not overly sweet and it had beautiful. Latte was good. Nice vibe it was cold inside but it was a cold day. All the baked goods in the display were absolutely beautiful I was very tempted to buy one of the floral cupcakes.“

“Stopped by today for a quick sit down with a latte. I ordered a lavender oatmilk latte and a slice of pound cake warmed up. The latte was good, very flavorful and sweet. A bit foamy though. The pound cake was truthfully very bland, it was pretty dry and flavorless. The icing was even pretty hard to taste. The atmosphere is nice, plenty of greenery and unique nic-nacs. However, this cafe is advertised as a gallery as well. There were no paintings or photos or anything up which was disappointing. The service was great! The barista Kattia was super friendly and bubbly. She offered to warm up the pound cake, very sweet. I more than likely would only stop by again if I’m on this side of town specifically, but I probably wouldn’t make a trip for it.Parking: Parking right out front!“

“What can I possibly say that hasn’t been said 1000 times before about BISMILLAH KABOB N CURRY? An absolutely incredible restaurant from beginning to end. The food is simple and impeccable and the technique is out of this world. Everything is perfection. The staff are professional and keep just the right amount of distance. The space is gorgeous and airy, but it does get crowded and loud as to be expected but again was one of the best meals I’ve had in years. I highly recommend if you go for visit in Michigan try BISMILLAH KABOB N CURRY restaurant.“

“The MOCAD Café is a relaxing and very chill café located directly inside the Museum of Contemporary Art. As expected, the space is designed thoughtfully and exudes relaxation. It has an urban-industrial feel with a touch of modernism. The big garage windows allow for plenty of natural light - when it's warm, they're open to allow a nice breeze. There are many tables with chairs, creating a perfect atmosphere for small group gatherings or a quiet work sesh'.Not only do they sell coffee, tea, and baked goods sourced locally, but there's also a fully stocked bar with a rotating seasonal menu. Many of the cocktails are bright and refreshing, having been curated by the bartenders. Pricing is fair, as well. The staff are always friendly and kind, and the service has been nothing short of splendid.You don't need to visit the museum to visit the café, as it's located directly to the right of you as you enter the museum. Stop in for a drink or treat, and enjoy the museum if you have time.“

“My apologies for not taking pictures. I fully enjoyed the lavender latte with oat milk. The flavor was amazing. Then to my surprise I found out the owners make their own lavender syrup, which is also for sale. The avocado toast is some of the best I've had in Detroit. On top of the avocado was diced cucumbers, red onion, and tomatoes with a balsamic drizzled on top. Believe me I am working to duplicate the taste at home! I wish there were more affordable parking options or validated parking. This will make the trip even better when I'm just looking for a spot to relax for a short while. Take the time to stop in and try the lavender latte AND buy some syrup for home.“

“My husband and I popped in for a quick breakfast and really enjoyed our food. The sourdough may have been some of the best I’ve had outside San Francisco. They took pride in the quality of their food which is something I always appreciate too!“

“One of my favorite coffee spots in the D! A bit unique in that you can have your coffee beverage made of any of the many types of beans and roasts they have available thanks to their Javabot that uses a system of tubes connecting their various types of beans to the barista station. Kind of fits with the whole factory vibe They also have the types of coffee broken up into Full bodied (dark roasts), balanced (medium roast), and mild roasts in case you need some guidance as to what to choose. Want your latte made with Jamaica Blue Mountain beans? No problem! I usually take my coffee black as a pour over, aeropress or drip so I do the "brew by the cup" option which I think they do as an Americano but don't quote me on that. It is pretty unique. You can of course also by whole beans as well which I usually do. They are located in the lobby of First National building at Campus Martius so you can easily do some site seeing after grabbing your cuppa Joe. Parking in the area is usually street parking a few blocks away or the parking structures on Congress.“

“This is an amazing addition to Windsor. It was above my expectations. The facility is beautiful and clean. It does not smell of cats or litter . The process is well organized and they have beautiful things to look at and buy while you wait your turn to see the cats.I can't wait to be back with my daughter .The cappuccino was also great !“

“Creative and yummy! Sweet and savoury pies, cookies, tarts and so much more. Each batch made from scratch!“

“My friends and I stopped in for a quick coffee and baked good before setting off for the day. The coffee was brewed fresh and the shopping fun began in the store picking up a few Michigan goods and smoked salts. This coffee shop has a little bit of everything from the beans to spices. Stop by and enjoy the smells!“

“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.“

“Shana likes it. Excellent coffee ☕“

“I was having a really rough morning and decided to treat myself to Panera breakfast. The lady who helped me in the drive through was so sweet and made me feel better just through her positive energy. I did not catch her name but I was thankful for her cheerful attitude! You really don’t know how you have an impact on others just merely through your words and kindness. Also, the food was awesome as well!“

“I stopped in there for a lunch on a Friday for the first time. This café is so warmly decorated, charming, and welcoming. What a wonderful, sweet staff. My egg salad sandwich and fries came out in about 5 to 7 minutes and was absolutely delicious. The fries seem to be made of great quality yellow potatoes. I am definitely coming back here again and bringing my parents when they are in town!“

“The iced tea selection was wonderful, had a very refreshing rose peach black tea. It wasn’t just from a tea bag, She blends each made to order! The treats look amazing and there are even several vegan savory items.“

“Came here with my husband and 4 year old. Very welcoming, friendly staff. Decently-sized, manageable menu, unique variety of smoothies and Italian sodas and coffee. Food came quickly and was delicious (bacon egg and cheese panini, crustless broccoli and cheese quiche, blueberry muffin and Monte Cristo). I came back twice in one day. Considered a third but exercised some self-control. But I will definitely be back.“
