“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Perfect service and great food! Even the Bloody Mary he had was good. Had a breakfast sandwich on their house baked bread with a bowl of berries. Great choices on the menu. My ice tea was never empty nor was his coffee. Definitely will return despite being a bit far for us. Can't wait for weather to warm to sit on the patio!“
“This local restaurant in Michigan has it's positive and negatives regarding accessibility. The door to the restaurant is narrow, a single door, which could be problematic for someone in a wheelchair for example, it is also a pull door with a small handle, which could also present difficulties for someone. Upon entering, the line to order food also intersects with tables for seating creating a very narrow area, but also a very overstimulating one. The kitchen is not blocked off by a full wall, thus the sounds from the kitchen, staff, and people eating presents a very noisy environment that could be overstimulating for some, and also make it challenging for someone with a hearing impairment to hear. Though this could present an issue for someone, the website offers the menu and screen reading is available, thus this could help someone determine what they want to eat prior to going inside, which could aid the audio issue but also prevent anxiety around ordering in a busy and loud area. There are three big windows at the front, and on a sunny day there is nothing to block it, which could be another barrier to accessibility. The tables in the restaurant are a positive as there are many different kinds, high top, low top, and booths, which allows people to chose what they prefer, and could also allow for more accessibility. The bathrooms at the back of the restaurant have wide doors, are very large, and are singles, which could help if someone needed more space in the bathroom for various reasons.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Holy Cow! This is the best breakfast place ever! Every thing I have ever ordered her is amazing and I have never been disappointed once. The restaurant is very small but they are easily able to get people in and out by preparing the food in less than 5 minutes! Waiters and Waitress's are very kind and very helpful. I absolutely love the vibes in here and thank you to the cooks for starting off my day right!“
“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!“
“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!!“
“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! :)“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“Great people, staff, and overall experience. Food is great and consistent. Coffee is great. Queer atmosphere that keeps me coming back.Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendlyParking: There is parking behind the buildingWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp and parking, although space is small and limited.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Umai cafe is the perfect spot for lunch after a winter hike. The cafe is clean & cozy and the staff were very kind. The food was good and the chocolate avocado smoothie was decadent. The miso soup and potato salad taste fresh.The cafe has a projector to play video clips and gentle music to create a pleasant atmosphere. The cafe is tucked into the corner of a strip mall, and is situated next to a fitness studio that unfortunately has no soundproofing so for a portion of our visit the loud noise had a negative impact on the experience.I look forward to visiting again and love that there is a local spot for avocado smoothies and fresh onigiri.“
“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! ? ?“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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“
“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).“

“Just had my first visit here and was completely satisfied. I had a Cinnamon tea with honey and it was delicious. I saw many things here I would love to try, and will on future visits. Looking forward to going back and experiencing the other fare they have to offer.“
“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!“
“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!“
“I drive from.Novi to.go this little spot. Love the atmosphere and I have NEVER had a large Boba that large. And it was only like 5 bucks. Thats WILD.. Annnd they don't make you get the Boba In the bottom of your cup. which a lot of places do.Parking: Download the app - it really is faster“
“I'm a big fan of Ube flavored foods. And this was the first time trying cotton cake because I heard that they had Ube flavored Japanese cheesecake. The cake was moist and fluffy, wasn't too sweet, it was pretty good for a Japanese cheesecake, but the flavor didn't really have that authentic Ube taste to it. I've tried other Japanese cheesecakes and this place is good, but not as comparable to the others I've had. The employees were kind and attentive. And the place itself was very cute. They have a different variety of ice creams, pastries and cakes. The cheesecake with Nutella and pistachio was pretty tasty.“
“Today I was disappointed with the quality of the food. I ordered the market hash as I have before, but this time it all the vegetables were over cooked and some onions and potatoes were burnt. My lovely wife wouldn't let me say anything, so I just ate it, but did not enjoy it at all? this was a favorite place for me. I'm not sure if I'll comeback again!“
“Go early! This small place can get crammed. I had the very yummy strawberry cream cheese topping french toast, based on a staffer recommendation. All four of us ordered something different. Everything came out quick, good and hot. The chocolate-dipped strawberries with the receipt is a nice touch!“
“Placed an order online and the website was having an issue which I did not realize until I showed up to pick up my lunch. They were super friendly and (apologetic - which was not necessary) and made my food super fast. Loved the customer service in making it right and being so so friendly. Food is really good too, but the service will make me come back again and again!“
“Friendly staff and had a wonderful time enjoying the quiet atmosphere and dimmed lights for the evening. The entree portions are excellent in quality and size and you’ll definitely wanna try something off the dessert menu before leaving. The French onion soup is superbWheelchair accessibility: Ramp to the entrance door“
“Everything but the price was perfect. Great first date vibes..... if you can afford it. Disclaimer: I don't know the going rates for coffee and its related\complimentary items.... hopefully my date doesn't see this and think I'm cheap lol.“
“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!!“
