Such a great, cozy cafe near Michigan Central! I got the Calamansi Matcha and absolutely LOVED it. As someone who's half Filipino, I always get excited for fusion finds (& the worker even started playing an old Filipino classic for my family and I). Amazing, comfy experience with an even greater ambiance!
This is an adorable neighborhood coffee house that serves a very delicious egg Sammich. It's got a nice house made sauce with fresh chives with a nice light flavor not strong at all. Your gonna love the texture of this egg Demi soufflé texture with a nice slice of melty cheese and that SAUCE
I loved stopping here on sat morning for their egg sandwich and a latte. The food was delicious, the coffee is great and service was pleasant. Overall an awesome place in corktown. The inside is small but has cozy vibes. We also had the sweet roll and the carrot cake.
A very cute coffee shop right across the street from the famous Grandma Bob's Pizza. The interior design and decor are cozy and inviting, with a La Marzocco machine shining behind the plants. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, which added to the vibe. I tried the hot Café de Olla Latte (an oat milk latte with housemade spice), which was unique, nutty, and perfect for a colder day. The matcha was refreshing, though not the best we've had.
Drink: I went with a cortado and the cafe de olla. I asked for the cafe de olla to be iced and the barista kindly made it in a cold brew for me. Cortado was excellent. This was great coffee; I could use the typical words like "rich" and "full bodied" but I honestly don't think I know what that means. It was delicious coffee, let's leave it at that. The cold brew was great as well, not my favorite flavor but it was my first time ever trying flavors like piloncillo and canela. I also got a carrot cake, very good, felt "healthier" than the average one. Cool spot on the same strip as Slows bbq.
Got the Sammie to go! Went home and put some Jelly on it heavenly. Great service from behind the bar and the ambiance is I may have found my next Saturday coffee treat myself and work on my laptop vibe! Look at the DVDs!
Cute little coffee shop with plenty of seating. Grabbed a latte and a matcha to try. Coffee had good flavour (had a bit more citrus taste to it) but the matcha wasn't as good as I expected (although I am a bit more picky with my matcha). Other than that, the experience was great and they close a bit later than the usual coffee shops I go to which is great. Service was quick too so I was in and out right away. Not a bad spot to check out if you're ever around the area.
Alba is a new coffee shop in Corktown and they've made it such a quaint space to be in. The latte was DIVINE -- I got the cafe de olla. and they brought all the best parts of the olla into this latte. It was cozy and smooth, making it a perfect sip. They have breakfast burritos from local vendors (which are pretty good). It was the perfect spot to chill and get some work done.
Nice vibes for a Corktown coffee shops. Appreciate how much more bright they made the old Astro's coffee shops (still miss Astros). Parking: 5/5 super convenient Coffee: 3/5 Space: 4/5 clean!
Came in because I had found this cafe on here and thought the food and drinks looked good, particularly the egg sandwich. My goodness - better than I could have even imagined. The soufflé egg sandwich ... they blew it out of the water. I am usually underwhelmed when it comes to food items like that at most places. However, this was beyond perfect: texture, flavors, portion, everything. Ironically I vocalized that it changed my life and I somehow echoed what was already on the poster (I now am "someone" lolll). I also got the pandan latte iced, it was delicious. To top it off, the staff were very warm and sweet. Excited to come back!
Super cute coffee place, with all the usual coffee drinks. I ordered a mocha, and loved its complexity. The barista made a pretty heart on top. I love it when they do that! I also tried a Malted Rye Chocolate Chip cookie. I wasn't sure what to except, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cookie was buttery and had caramelly notes. It had just the right amount of chocolate and I loved its chew. They had some pistachio cake which looked really good. Next time...
Cute coffee shop in Corktown. I enjoyed the relaxed and cozy ambience. It was pretty quiet and would be a good place to study/work. Their alba egg sandie was delicious.
This is the Coffee shop vibe you are looking for. I was able to come in and log into work as I ate and it was very chill. So there is street parking so keep that in mind. It is in front of a building that has a lot of other storefronts...but if you park anywhere on that block of Michigan Ave you will be within walking distance. They thrive in coffee and pastries but they do have a really good egg sandwich as well. They are super nice and friendly and will walk your food to your table. It's not a large shop so it may be crowded depending on what time you go. There is a countertop that seats 4, a long table ther seats about 10, and a few 2 top tables. If you have a large group this may not be for you. Alba egg sandie - this was an excellent sandwich. I wish it had sausage or bacon on it but regardless it's great. It's light and fluffy as well as airy and savory. It comes with the aioli/chive and this is what sets it off. But the egg is thick and the perfect size to boot. read more
Loveeee a quaint coffee shop! This place was super warm upon entry with a nice greeting from staff! There was lots of different art displayed which made the place feel more inviting. A great selection of coffee and pastries! Food options as well. When I'm back in Detroit I will be coming back here! Drink: -Black Sesame Carmel Latte with oat milk. This is my favorite latte and I was so excited when I saw it on their menu!! The BEST one i've had thus far!!! read more

This coffee shop is so cute. I love the flowers on the tables. It's a great place to get some work done. They have really good coffee, I just got a house blend without milk or sweetener. They also have some vegan sweets. I got the vegan plum cake and it was so good. read more

We tried this place because we heard great things about the egg souflee sandwich. After trying it for ourselves, we would not order it again as it was just okay in flavor and still a little cold when we received it. The staff were very friendly and helpful while ordering and the inside is very cute. We loved the plants. We would go back for coffee. read more
