Coffee Shops near Sylvan Lake

“Well - I just am not the fan of fast food anymore. Not just McD's. But out walking a trail near this location and not have been here in years - had a crave for fries.I was impressed here. Giving 5 stars for more than just food (I just ordered two regulars and fries - all was good and prepared well - but we all know the taste of McDonald's).What impressed me here... A location that has not converted to all kiosks, they still have cashiers. VERY CLEAN, spotless. I observed. (granted, was late and not busy - but you could tell this location has high standards). And friendly greetable (word?) staff. This location is a winner for me.“

“I've been here a couple of times. It's a small gem on Woodward Ave across from M1 concourse. They have a great selection of donuts. It's a very popular spot so get in there, make your decision, pay, then get out of the way. There are a few chairs to sit and eat your donuts and drink your coffee but I would recommend getting it to go. It's just too busy in there to really enjoy it. It's fast pace and loud environment. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.“

“Joe' coffee, chai tea, and tiramisu were absolutely delicious. His iced latte is smokey and strong, his chai perfectly balanced and creamy. Joe himself made our drinks with style. His shop is impeccably clean, well decorated, and offers fun products (coffee beans, boogie snacks, beeswax candles, many CBD beauty products). We absolutely will be back and recommend this shop to everyone. Excellent job Joe! ?☕️“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place. Tried it for the first time in NYC and my life changed once I realized there was one 6 minutes from my place. Fast, friendly, fresh, and delicious. Can’t recommend this place enough! Get an açaí bowl and have your life changed forever.“

“this is my fave coffee shop of all time; i love the cozy atmosphere and the aerocano took over my life. also the baristas are so sweet and always remembered my order...unfortunately i had to move away from michigan but u will forever be in my heart, lucky detroit </3“

“Potential to be a five star. Unfortunately, the service at the bar is consistently AWFUL. Very good food and drinks.If you’re interested in working at Honchos behind their bar, please know it appears as though you’re not allowed to wear a bra.“

“delicious sugar free pumpkin latte, they made the recommendation and I loved it. Very friendly people. Only my 3rd time there bc its out of my way, but was at the Hawk across the street and whipped in there on the way home for a cold treat on a nice sunny fall day.“

“[please "like" if this is helpful]Cute neighborhood bodega. Not a huge selection, but you can get many Mexican American basics, including spices. They also have a restaurant menu. The most interesting to me was their Tes Leches cake -- wow! I can't wait to try it. It looks very special. The folks at the counter are friendly, and add a welcoming local vibe.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Small place tucked in corner of a strip mall. Super nice guys. Open on Easter morning. Really good bagels, and jalopeno cream cheese too. Asked for a dozen variety with one cinnamon sugar, and very happy with the mix. And only 20.75 even with 2 tubs of cream cheese. Cash only.“

“This is a really hip place.A nice place where you can read a book and enjoy a really nice beverage. It's a small place so get there early if you want somewhere to sit. They put in big tables recently which seem too big for the place, but provide a little bit more seating. They really need to expand.“

“A local coffee roaster with a large selection of single origin and blends. It's a friendly atmosphere soaked in the aromas of roasting coffee beans. We could have our beans delivered to Rochester, but we enjoy taking the trip to pick them up from the source. And, you can grab a coffee while you're there. The staff is always helpful and can make recommendations or answer home brewing questions. Also, if you sign up for the emails, they feel more like a letter from Dad, charming and personable. Support your local roaster.“

“Pretty good. I enjoyed most of the cuts of meat, however was not a fan of any of the sides besides the salad (which was 10/10). Atmosphere is a bit chaotic, def have to be with a fun group or else I could see this being less enjoyable if you are looking for more of a lowkey/chill environment. Would come back-meat cuts and salad! ? ?“

“An institution. While other places in the area have withered away to relics, this place has remained true to what it's always been. You'll get your food and remember that this is how it's supposed to look. The people who make it care about it, and want you to savor it, and just enjoy being there.It's a cafe. It's the cafe. In a desert of aging strip malls, this is an oasis.Look through your phone, find an old friend you haven't talked to in a while, and arrange to meet up here. You'll smile, hug, laugh, grab a coffee, talk, then great food, more talking, more coffee, more laughs, and you'll wonder why you don't do this more often. This is a place to feel good.“

“My friend and I stopped in for a relaxing coffee moment while another friend shopped next door at Aritzia. The latte and almond croissant were top notch - as was the people watching! The aesthetic of the cafe is relaxed and on trend. I would recommend this cute cafe for a pick me up while shopping at Somerset!“

“I had the pleasure of discovering this charming café today: it was truly delightful! From the moment that I walked in, Madeline's kind hospitality made me feel right at home. Not only did she kindly offer to warm up my croissant, but she also went the extra mile to check that it was heated to the right temperature—perfection! Speaking of perfection, the pistachio croissant was simply divine. Paired with a heavenly chai latte that boasted just the right amount of spice, it was a match made in culinary heaven. Plus, the seamless access to reliable Wi-Fi made it the ideal spot for catching up on work or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation. With ample seating and the perfect ambiance, the café struck the perfect balance of cozy, yet vibrant. Parking was easy and convenient. Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit to experience this slice of café paradise again.Dietary restrictions: There were alternative milks for all diets.“

“I love this place. Fantastic for birthday cakes/special occasion desserts. Where I usually go to most of the time in those cases. As well as if you just want to grab an assortment of little desserts (my favorite thing to do here) or a scoop of ice cream alternatively!Pic is of the birthday cake I got for my grandfather this year! He raved about it for weeks! I’m so happy he enjoyed it so much!Parking: EasyKid-friendliness: AbsolutelyWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Stellar service and amazing donuts! I placed an order here for Fat Tuesday about 2-3 weeks in advance for about 25 paczkis! They were one of the only places on metro Detroit to take preorder for smaller quantities. I was able to order online and they had all of the classics like lemon and strawberry but they also had innovative flavors like cannoli and apply pie! I ordered a variety and picking them up was a breeze! There was a short line and the staff worked hard to make sure everything was quick. The paczkis were a huge hit in my office and everyone loved them. I tried the cannoli one and it was 10/10 one of the best desserts I've ever had.“

“Went on Easter and hardly any customers in the store. The store is small compared to the Barnes and Noble near me. It has a huge LP section, magazines line one wall and a big kids section. The fiction and nonfiction sections seemed small and I didn’t notice a display of new releases. The baked goods were excellent and the smell of cookies was pleasant. Great tactic to get customers to buy! Staff was extremely friendly. Parking is free. This location is in a strip mall. Based on the travel time and the size of the store I won’t be back. However it was good to visit!“

“It’s a must try place for some hot tea ( Karan chai ) and buns. The buns are super delicious. They come with different fillings and flavors . I usually get their signature bun with chai. The buns are freshly baked,slightly crispy and has a butter filling.“

“Came here for the first time. Definitely do not miss out on the meat skewers, lamb and beef are sooooo good! Well seasoned and spicy! We also got the black garlic ramen…. So good! It’s in a good spot in my option, not overcrowded and you can actually enjoy a meal and talk to who you came in with.(we dined in but you can also get it to go) It’s across from tricho. They also play r&b and it’s so chill to eat here. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious and amazing vibe. Sweet, kind happy customer service. Smoothies are creamy and yummy with organic ingredients. All homemade food items which are all a delightful treat. I seriously never write reviews but this place is worth your time ...they also make espresso drinks which really nice“

“Staff are nice, music is nice, owner was chilling out in the cafe when I went. Coffee was also very good, got a black cold brew. Not sure what their budget looks like, but an update on the atmosphere is what this place needs to take it to the next level.“

“This is a lovely coffee shop. I come here often with my 3yo who calls it "the bagel spot." I also do some work here. For some reason everyone in this place seems to always be talking about theology, but as an instructor in philosophy that makes me feel more at home rather than less.“

“Sonya was so very nice and informative about the company. My first time was great. I am disappointed that the girls cannot accept business cards. I specifically specialize in women's self defense and was the reason for my visit. Yes the whole bikini thing is cool so I figured they might be interested in my services for their own well being. To the owner please consider contacting me. We can do a group rate for how ever many gals wanna participate.One more thing, i went a second time this last Friday and I forgot about my punch card! Lol“

“This place is so cozy and tasty. It's a great place to grab a coffee and a bagel or stock up on cupcakes for a birthday party. I have never had a better cupcake than this place! All of there flavors are amazing and I love that they have mini versions so that you don't have to commit to one big cupcake. Additionally I appreciate that they have more options than just coffee. I really enjoy their steamed apple cider! I highly recommend stopping in!“

“Today I was introduced to a lavender coffee drink by a lovely barista, Susie. What a surprisingly delightful flavor! I would not have been tempted to try this, however, the conversation with Susie changed my mind. Her kindness brought a sparkle to my day --- thank you!! I look forward to returning and telling others about this new coffee spot discovery!“

“When you’re too tired on a Monday to drive to your favorite biggby so you DoorDash it and still receive the always above and beyond customer service from the manager turned buddy Alex and crew! Just one of many reasons I frequent this location and love it so much!“

“I loved this place and it's delicious treats the first time I came so when my son and daughter-in-law came from Chicago I organized a family gathering. Eight of us drank Turkish coffee and ate home made ice cream and Syrian delights, chattng for over 2 hours. I love this place!“

“I go here pretty early in the morning. They do a great job. My orders are accurate and the staff is nice. I’ve also gone in the afternoon and had a good experience as well. Definitely a good location. Also I stand firm that Tim’s has the best donuts. You won’t see me getting other competitors’ donuts.“

“This is the BEST STARBUCKS in the Detroit area. My drinks are always right and the customer service is always on point as well. Even when thy are busy, they still keep everything togetherParking: That parking lot can be a lot, but a lot of that is people park kinda stupid in the lot as well...“

“This was one of the nicest Starbucks I have ever seen. From the design to the details, it was amazing to see. I am not a huge Starbucks coffee drinker, but in a jam I will grab a dark roast to keep me going. Coffee was as expected and extra points for the amazing location and fireplace.“

“We love coming to Jungle Java any time we can. The fact that parents are encouraged to play in the towers with their kids is my favorite part. It is very reasonable in price and they have an amazing 3 month package that is the cheapest I’ve found for the area. We get food and drink about every time we come in. The staff is always so kind and wonderful to us and everyone they interact with. We LOVE the manager. Her name escapes me at the moment, but she is shorter and has long black hair. My only complaint is that I wish they hadn’t raised the one basketball hoop on the left side of the court. I understand why they did, because of older kids dunking. I also wish that parents would interact with their kids in these kinds of settings more and making sure they’re following rules so everyone can have a good time. I get needing a break, because I don’t have much help outside of my household with my kiddo, but you all need to look up from your phones more.“

“I come to this coffee shop every morning from 8 to 9 AM, some days I have a late start and come around 3 PM . No matter the time no matter the barista my coffee is always made to perfection. Everyone that works there deserves a $10 pay raise. They’re always so patient and understanding and willing for their customers.“

“Visited this small corner coffee place situated inside Credit Union in Southfield MI (formerly known as The Teacher's Credit Union).They serve a limited amount of bake goods and limited variety.Coffee plain weak and bland.This place is not a coffee officiated.However, it is ok for a " quick grab and go out the door!"“

“Great place! Everyone works so hard and is able to keep a smile on their face! I have watched many customers be extremely rude to the baristas and they are still able to stay calm. My favorite place to study and get an amazing drink! Thank you to the team working today - Kelly, Raven, Jalina, and Gordon!“

“A different Starbucks messed up my order and when I asked the other Starbucks to correct it they refused. I walked into this Starbucks and they made me feel right at home. I was welcomed, listened too, and they made the moment right. Thank you for restoring my faith in Starbucks.“

“I’ve been going here for years! They are pleasant and I typically go through the drive through and they recognize my voice! I always order hot chocolate with extra whip cream and they are so kind with making sure I get it exactly how I want it!“

“Busy as always at the village Starbucks. They didn't have much inventory but Starbucks is Starbucks it's dark coffee shop with consistency. Who doesn't love it and it's great coffee. Can't be too picky. They perfected coffee.“

“This Starbucks is always so busy and unfortunately there is not enough staff due to the situation most businesses are dealing with right now because of covid. But, Barb and everyone at the window for the drive thru is so kind and friendly. Definitely my favorite Starbucks! :)“

“Right of the start, I have to say that I definitely prefer BiggBy coffe than any other brand coffee shop.For one, they are a local, Michigan company. Also, in my opinion the coffee and most of the specialty drinks taste better than the rest of the field.It is not as crowded and the wait for service is not as long as at Starbucks, for example.I like this particular location too. The staff is very efficient and the place is clean. My drink comes out fairly quickly and always tastes delicious.“

“we had the pleasure of having Emily as our barista for our first visit. She was so welcoming and fun to have a conversation with. She gave us a ton of recommendations for food places around the area to try. Definitely come check the place out, she’s very helpful when explaining the menu to people who aren’t into the fancy coffee drinks.“
