50 Best Cafes near Lincoln Park

“I recently visited Familias Saludables and it was a truly delightful experience. The pomegranate ice tea and banana shake with protein were not only delicious but also refreshing. Maria, the owner, was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a healthy treat. I wish them continued success and can’t wait to visit again!“

“The Staff is extremely friendly and fast service. The Shakes and teas are delicious.“

“This cafe is utterly amazing in every way. It hits all the right notes, with a laid-back vibe that makes you want to linger.

The atmosphere is chic, the food was spectacular, and the drinks were phenomenal – especially the pistachio latte with espresso. It’s creamy, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. The apple croissant is another must-try — flaky, lightly sweet, and made with care. But the real star for me is the chicken artichoke sandwich — savory, satisfying, and packed with flavor.

Everything paired beautifully, and despite long lines, service was impressively quick. With plenty of seating and easy street parking, this spot is absolutely worth a visit — we’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had a great time! Very clean, easy to see your kids and still talk with friends. Enjoyed our time and we will definitely be back.“

“Love, love, love! Homemade, specialty, and fresh, the trifecta of comfort foods! Thank you for crepe too! So delicious! Everything is delicious! Make a meal of the chicken, bacon ranch pierogi, or the Mac and cheese for a side. Grab soup and a sweet crepe to finish it off! You can’t go wrong!“

“Our nicest neighbors! For years every guest that goes the block down to Folk comes back saying how great it is. Thanks for being our amazing neighbors to the north.“

“Amazing food and drink would recommend“

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

“This place has it all – great food, cozy atmosphere, and super friendly staff! The menu has some awesome halal options, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. I had the classic burger, and it was just perfect. Can’t wait to come back with family!“

“I purchased a blueberry lemon cake with custard filling and buttercream icing for my mother-in-law’s birthday today. It was delicious! Everyone enjoyed it! It was not only great tasting but it looked beautiful! Thank you Kava Cafe and Bakery! It was well worth the money spent! Sylvia Leardi“

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

“Excellent environment, great menu choices and really decent food and AFFORDABLE prices and friendly service:) We will back again:)“

“This is a great place to try out if you are:
-Hungry in the DIA
-Treating your girlfriend to a nice meal
-Looking to take a break from the DIA

Honestly seeing this place for the first time is a breath of fresh air. It’s like dining outside without the blaring sun, the bugs, and the wind blowing away your food. And honestly the prices were not outrageous especially for the atmosphere you are paying for. The service is wonderful and the food was great. Overall experience: 11/10

PS: looking to try the peach flatbread the next time I go ?“

“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!“

“Stopped by to order two drinks— lemon mint and honey avocado. The service was quick and we got the fresh drinks under 5 minutes. The lemon mint had a lot of fresh mint and was kind of like a slushee because of the amount of crushed ice and sugar. The honey avocado was smooth and definitely more filling. While we were waiting for the drinks, got a glimpse of the fresh fruits. All the fruits looked fine other than the strawberries which were covered with white mold. Would not recommend any of the strawberry drinks after seeing the strawberries.“

“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!“

“I tried the Chai ice cream mixed with Biscoff the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The nitrogen gives it an incredibly smooth texture, and the flavor is perfectly balanced with the right amount of chai.

However, I do have one complaint: their hours can be unreliable. Even though their Google listing says they’re open, I’ve found them closed several times when I’ve visited. This is particularly frustrating because I drive from Florida to Michigan for a week during Christmas break every year and always make a point to stop by. It’s disappointing to arrive and find them closed, especially since their mobile ordering system still works.

Overall, the ice cream is extremely creamy and delicious, but I wish they’d improve their consistency with hours.“

“Genuinely the best coffee I’ve had in Detroit in a while. Super reasonably priced and the roast always seems so even, we bought a bag of whole beans to make espresso drinks at home and the quality and flavor really comes through. Cant wait to keep bringing folks here :)“

“Love, love, love Wyandotte Nutrition! Everyone is so nice and I feel welcome every time I step in the door. Such a great atmosphere! I look forward to my weekly (sometimes twice a week.. okay sometimes daily!!) mega tea! Also, if you haven’t tried a coffee, I highly recommend those too!“

“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.“

“This evening, I came in for dinner and drinks. I had the perch and my girlfriend had the polish dinner. Both were very delicious. The drinks were great! We sat at the bar and Heather was our bartender. She was fantastic! I highly recommend giving this bar a try. I will add that I strongly recommend getting there before 5pm on Friday, because it was absolutely packed by then.“

“Every time I come to Detroit, I try a new coffee shop. This is a great place to get some work done or just hang out (both indoors and out). The matcha I had was great, just a hint of sweetness. Though I didn't get to try the food, I expect it to be good with just the quality of produce that was brought in this morning.“

“I just left Filli, a charming new spot in downtown Dearborn, and I’m already planning my return. The experience started with the warm welcome from Howrah, a truly radiant and gracious Middle Eastern host. Her kindness and attention to detail instantly made me feel at home. She took her time, listening and making thoughtful recommendations that made the evening even better.

The pizza, crafted with care, was a delight in every bite, but the highlight of my night was the mocktail Howrah created. It was pure magic—a refreshing, perfectly balanced blend that was just right for a Saturday evening treat. This place is a gem, and with hosts like Howrah, it’s more than worth the visit!“

“The best downriver, Nutrition place ever ❤️“

“This restaurant is always welcoming from when you first walk into the door till you pay your bill. The staff is awesome and friendly. I have never had a bad experience. The food from breakfast to lunch can always fill you up and the cooks do a great job. 10 out of 10.“

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

“We had the opportunity to try BonDivan. The cafe is located inside Sheeba. It’s so beautiful. They have a nice seating area. It’s elegant, comfortable and so welcoming. We ordered almond croissant, pistachio cheesecake and cappuccino. The almond croissant was quite big. It was served warm. It was not crunchy or flaky. It was soft. I prefer it with flake and crunch. The filling was also not evenly spread. It tasted good though. The pistachio cheesecake had the right amount of sweetness. It was so yummy. The cappuccino was like any other cappuccino. Overall, it was a great experience. They have a lot more on the menu to offer. Will be returning to try. There is a parking lot in the back. Do check them out.“

“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.“

“Best perch dinner around!“

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

“A gem of a place that should not be missed! Muhammedali is the sweetest, kindest purveyor of coffee & tea. He takes such care in making all the drinks & does not hesitate in sharing his kindness & generosity with others, especially with a diverse group of women from Missouri 💕
The Saudi tea is a must as are the refreshers and must try Harisah!“

“Chili Mexican is life so delicious“

“Organic and super vegetarian friendly, if you care about what you put in your body you will love their options“

“Southgate Nutrition has a wonderful and positive environment and the ladies that work there are always so nice and pleasant and they have great flavors of tea and shakes“

“I'm a business student at WSU and I normally come out to the school a bit earlier to get coffee here. Fourteen East has comfortable, calm vibes and the coffee is amazing. If you need a nice spot to hang out and work, it's perfect.“

“Awesome!🤩 place is great!“

“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.“

“I love being a Wayne County resident and taking my family often to see all of the arts and embrace them in the world of art“

“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.“

“Very friendly and excellent tea and cold brew coffee“

“I’ve always had great food at Kathy’s Cafe. Love the neighborhood feeling here.“

“I ate at Delite pretty regularly pre-covid and have always found their food amazing and the staff friendly.However, when I called into their midtown location I didnt realize the hours were different. The man working (I think his name was Taher) was so kind, and stayed so late to make sure I could eat. And he even gave us extra falafel because it was the end of the day.I highly recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be back! Please don't be like me - check the hours before you call in an order :)“

“This is D Spot to B Spot for fresh food and delicious desserts! The staff was very friendly and the vibes were definitely there. I enjoyed a night out with some friends and I had an amazing time! For a place with such a massive menu, I was the farthest from overwhelmed. Look forward to my next visit!“

“A fabulous coffee house; pleasant decor, friendly personnel and the most creative little foodie delights. We were visiting from the UK and had been told to try..,.so glad we did! The cheese & chive sconewich was fab as was the lemon & lavender cake. Merchandising, produce and plants also for sale. Loved our visit.“
