Cafes near Berkley

“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.“

“Definitely an old school bakery feel. I have no complaints with how I’ve personally been treated - I’ve only had very polite and nice experiences. Coffee has always been hot for me and I was even offered more bagels because it was slow today! I usually get bagels and cream cheese once a week in the mornings and have never had an issue, they are very delicious… but duh, it’s a bagel! It’s a go-to bagel place for me and a must try if you’re in the neighborhood. So glad I started coming here.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! :)“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Stopped by for a quick dinner on a Tuesday night. The place wasn't busy, so the staff was able to give me plenty of attention. These are down-to-earth folks; easy to talk to and very friendly. The food was fantastic! I had the sliders and fries, and not only did the food taste good, but it was presented in a subtly unique way. I highly recommend The Alley Cat!“

“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“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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 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.“

“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! ? ?“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Awesome service. The best food I’ve had in along time! Everything was freshly made and the cook hand picked the vegetables from his garden. I haven’t had an omelette that tasted so good from a restaurant other than this!I would 1000% recommend Drakes Cafe (near hall and mound area) to anyone looking for an excellent and homemade breakfast at Drakes Cafe!!Vegetarian options: Veto friendlyKid-friendliness: The waitresses are so good with Benny and take care of him first if he’s fussy :)Wheelchair accessibility: Danny makes accommodations for anyone in his restaurant.“

“Great coffee place! Probably the best one in the city of Clawson and nearby areas. Taste of lattes is always on top, service is friendly and fast! and the ambiance is great! Highly recommend trying the hot lattes with an extra shot of espresso, as they usually have a free extra shot on Friday, that is a great way to get the day going!“

“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).“

“A dreamy escape for cold winter weekend days! I feel so psyched to have FINALLY sauntered into this little slice of heaven that has been on my collections list forever. I'm so excited about it that I'm having a time finding the right words to properly describe it. First, let me say that another patron sort of admonished me for taking pictures to share here. Apparently, she doesn't want newbies to come ruin her secret hideaway. Well, sorry, I must Yelp about this magical book-filled vintage-themed coffee house. Admittedly, I sort of understand why she wouldn't want lots of people piling in on a given Saturday or Sunday. The shop is very low-key, quiet, and highly vibrational. Loud unintentional folk would definitely ruin the vibe. But other like-minded souls would adore the place and hold its sacredness. Walking in, you're definitely not expecting what you'll find. I felt like little fairies took my hand and led me to a magical eutopia hidden in the woods. The lighting and decorations gave me Harry Potter vibes. There were butterflies, bikes, and other whimsical things flying through the air. No, literally, chairs and other decorations hanging from the ceiling! It's a book lover's paradise. There are tons of titles stacked and shelved all over. There are lots of trinkets and tchotchkes for sale. You can find unique gift items here or find something special for yourself. While touring the place, I looked around at the seating, there's a counter seating area and a few tables. However, I saw my sweet spot as soon as I walked in...a comfy colorful sofa in front of a faux fireplace with books and pillows surrounding it. There are lots of treats for purchase. I chose pound cake. It was so light and moist, I gobbled it down with an almond milk caramel latte. HEAVEN! I took a slice of lemon pound cake to-go. I can't wait to go back and visit. Next weekend looks good.“

“Great food, friendly staff. Always busy. Good food is worth the wait. Cook goes above and beyond to make sure you get your dish the way you want. If they make a mistake, they fix it. Really enjoy their hamburgers!Styrofoam melts when very hot food is on it and it affects the taste of food. Can you please put tinfoil or parchment paper under it? (Example: biscuits and gravy, ff with chili and cheese)Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly dishes.Parking: Parking lot always has available spots.“

“First time here and they have earned a lifetime customer. The atmosphere is a nice, warm environment. I will bring my friends next time as they offer free games to play. The macchiato was one of the best I have had. I can't wait to try more drinks the next time I stop by!“

“The waffle cafe is amazing! Great food and music! It’s a whole vibe. We were able to eat in the lounge area! I really loved the watermelon lemonade and the lavender as well. I ate the trio waffles and did a sweet and savory combo. I enjoyed the buffalo waffle, the banana pudding and strawberry cheesecake waffles. Ohhh weee! Proud of the owners! Larry awesome job man! I also love that this place is actually in Detroit! And Black Owned! Support!“
