4 Best Cafes near Novi

“Phenomenal, they really care about their customers! Food is amazing! Experience is top notch!!!!“

“This is hands-down one of my favorite coffee shops in metro Detroit! What started as a Caribou Coffee chain years ago was saved by a group of No.VI dads who couldn’t bear to lose their go-to coffee spot. They took it over, but let’s be real—running a food business isn’t a walk in the park.

Enter the most incredible couple who bought the place and transformed it into something truly special.

The owner, hailing from Puerto Rico where her family runs a similar business, has poured heart and soul into this spot. It’s now the coziest, most welcoming place you’ll find.

No judgmental hipster baristas here—just a genuinely kind and awesome staff who make you feel right at home. They bring their diverse backgrounds to the table, offering unique treats like Banh Mi sandwiches and Dora-Yaki alongside killer pastries.

Foodie Pro tip: If you spot quesitos or churros, grab them fast—they’re absolutely perfect pastries and sell out quick!

I’m obsessed with their in-house roasted beans, especially the espresso roast that I snag for my at-home brews.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee and pastry or settling in for work or a great convo with a friend, this place is perfect. It’s a true gem that’s worth every visit!“

“I can't say enough great things about Picasso Deli! I moved away from the Novi area ten years ago. When I find myself back in town I always need to stop in and grab a chicken salad tweener! The staff is always friendly, this is a great lunch spot not to be missed!“

“Wanted a relaxing place to enjoy a lunch and decided to try since I figured with the quality of merchandise and service in the store, they would be similar. While you order at a counter, you seat yourself and then wait staff takes over. The dining room is quiet and nicely decorated. The wait staff is very professional and there with a refill or checking on you.

While the menu is not large, you can find salads, pizzas, entrees, and appetizers. A couple different kinds of soups also. There is a kid's menu which adults could order from. Since I am not a huge eater, I ordered from it the grilled cheese and cup of tomato soup. I got the cheddar chive biscuits, taking one home. It came with a drink so I got my diet Coke.

All the food was well above average. I really enjoyed the grilled cheese which was on artisan bread. The cheddar chive biscuit was delicious. Fresh fruit was included with the meal. They don't have a dessert menu, but a little chocolate is brought to you at the end of the meal.

If you have a more normal American appetite, you should find your fill. The pizza is large enough to share.

Wonderful place to enjoy a lunch break from shopping especially if you want a meal not fast food in the food court. I will be back to enjoy another meal.“
