The building is an actual old church that has been restored into this unique coffee shop/restaurant. There's indoor and outdoor seating and pretty accents such as stained glass window over the front door. You order at the counter and then seat yourself as in most coffee places. The staff was friendly. The main minus for me is the lack of GF options. The menu did say you can make items GF, but when I asked, it turned out the only GF thing they had to substitute is a bun. I ended up getting the overnight oats from the fridge and they were actually quite good. My latte with almond milk was quality stuff. My friends ordered a few things with somewhat mixed reviews. The quiche got a thumbs up. The pesto egg sandwich was just ok. Overall this was a hit. I'd definitely come back.

I had a caramel latte (recommended by the friendly staff) and it was worth every penny!

I know there are a lot of coffee shops in the Detroit area, but put this one towards the top of your list!

Not too sweet, strong coffee/chai flavor, and their drinks never taste artificially flavored. Baristas are also friendly and helpful when taking orders! I really, really love the low lighting inside - it's very calming and cozy.

My friend and I were causing an absolute ruckus in here (not actually, but we were the only ones…read moreyapping so it definitely felt that way) LOL! I entered La Ventana already having heard some great things about the establishment. The space is so beautifully designed, and I especially love how many seating options there are! The menu is a bit limited. I opted to get a matcha, while my friend got his recent go-to, a cold brew with heavy whipping cream and a splash of vanilla syrup. I didn't realize that the drinks came without any sort of sweetener, so I requested a splash of simple syrup after, which the barista kindly did for me! I thought their matcha blend was okay. I got it with oat milk which sometimes changes the flavor, so that could definitely be part of it since I've heard so many good things about it previously. My friend's cold brew was a bit sour, but it still did the job of waking him up and getting us on the go! I could definitely see myself going back here to work and try out some of the basics!

I'd been hearing about Alba's breakfast sandwich for awhile and finally got to try it out recently…read more Nate and I arrived around 10 on a Sunday morning and there was a line out the door! It's a small space so plan ahead. We weren't in a rush, but it did take a bit of time to get through the line. I ordered two egg sandwiches and a couple coffees. They had limited seating open inside so we took our stuff to go and sat in the park by Michigan Central Station, which was lovely. The sandwich was delicious, with a custardy egg patty and chopped chives. The whole sandwich was a bit soft in texture so I wish they had the addition of some crispy bacon or something. It was very tasty though! My iced americano was very smooth and bright. I will say that the service was not super friendly, but that could just be a millennial observation. Nothing that would keep me from visiting again. They had an assortment of pastries that looked delicious so I'd try some of those next time.
