Regular latte and cheese danish
Ashley T.

The coffees here are all really good and flavorful. I tried a regular latte which was great and the marzipan latte was delicious. The empanadas are yummy but the breakfast pastries are really dry and not very flavorful

Stephanie A.

Cozy space for coffee, seems like a chill place to relax, chat or work. It's pretty small in the POS area and if it's busy like it was on Saturday morning, you kind of have to hang out in that space to hear your name called when your order is ready. Ordered a churro ice latte (they were out of cold foam) and an iced Mexican wedding cake latte. Both were good. There's a case for pastries and a grab and go cooler

Kelly B.

Decor is so cute and love the cozy seating- very comfortable. Muffins were really tasty. The banana coffee was tasty and they had decaf and non dairy milk options, but wish it had a little more banana flavor. Staff was friendly but they hadn't been open too long and they seemed a little overwhelmed, but I imagine this will improve once they've been open awhile and get the swing of things

Coffee and empanadas. I must say I LOVE THEIR COFFEE CUPS. It has a lot of a character.

I came here to do a little work and this is a really cute coffee shop. I got a coffee latte (it was pretty good) and they do have a nice variety of milk alternatives as well. I got their chorizo and beef empanadas and they were very well stuffed and quite delicious. Beware of the green pesto sauce as it has pine nuts. I did have to ask regarding allergies and was not prompted (my only critique). I did not try the wine here but would be interested in coming back to try it!

Absolutely loved Balam Coffee and the little secret tucked inside. They have a variety of light bites and desserts and amazing coffee and Matcha. Look closely and you might just find a secret.

GLUTEN FREE PEOPLE OF DETROIT. This is hands down one of my favorite gluten free pastas of all…read moretime. I had the short rib pasta with their homemade gluten free pasta and when I say I was in shock at how truly incredible the dish was. Incredible food, amazing service, such a beautiful interior, the open kitchen is a wonderful ambiance and overall wish I could give it 10 stars. We live in Nashville and this meal beats out every pasta spot I've had in Nashville easily. Also don't sleep on the crudo. My normal gluten consuming husband loved every bite of his normal pasta too. We will be back!

To start, the Amaro Soda ($6) offers a nonalcoholic, botanical sparkling beverage perfect for a hot day! The Wagu Beef Carpaccio ($24) is almost melt-in-your-mouth tender and perfect for sharing. If you are a bread lover, order the Sourdough Bread & Butter ($6). It is definitely carb-worthy!! Moving on to main dishes, I had the Risotto ($27) and my husband had the Paccheri ($34). The risotto was cooked to perfection and topped with a delightful roasted tomato/olive medley. My husband's meal was fabulous--I believe I will order it the next time O visit. Dessert? We opted to share one scoop of the Lime-Cucumber-Mint Sorbet ($7). This is a dairy-free option, so the texture is slightly grainy compared to ice cream, but the flavor was perfect for summer. The staff members were pleasant and knowledgeable, our water glasses never were empty, and the food was spaced perfectly. We will be back!

Parking was no problem as I was lucky to find metered parking just steps away from the front door. I walked in immediately taken with the charming decor and darkly lit romantic vibes, which is my favorite esthetic for any restaurant. The seating at the bar was yummy, thick comfy seats. The bartender greeted me warmly. He was cool and I hate that I didn't ask his name. He was attentive and masterful with the spirits. He asked if it was my first time, which it was, and since so, made me a tasty "welcome" drink with gin that was fantastic. I also ordered "the panty snatcher" a concoction of vodka, grapefruit, St Germain, rose water and orange. It was amazing. I will definitely be back for drinks. The drink menu is quite tempting. I had the Corn, Corn, Corn dish, which is polenta and corn kernels topped with popcorn. Yes, super unique and interesting. I had to try it. The popcorn was so light and flavorful straight out of the kitchen, but became chewy as it sat atop the piping hot polenta. I really enjoyed it however. Next time I'll eat all the popcorn first. I also had lobster dumplings, which was good but the dish wasn't cooked through. The filling wasn't hot and the pasta was very under on some bites. I was the first customer for the evening, so I can forgive that faux pas. I really enjoyed myself and I will return time and time again to try everything. The menu offers many things I love. Great concept. Cool vibes.

I have tried the 2 sister restaurants (Pinky's and Pearl's Deep Dive) so I had high hopes for…read moreBohemia as well. By far the most impressive decor and ambiance goes to Bohemia. I enjoyed the bright color scheme, live plants, and the mixed media art decor. There were a few things that I didn't entirely understand (the rhino figurines and the indoor beach umbrella) but I let it slide. For drinks we ordered the dancing raspberries (it's served with dry ice and that's what makes the raspberries "dance"), Detox Retox, and the Strawberry Negroni. For someone who doesn't typically likes Negronis, I was pleasantly surprised by this one because the vermouth was understated and there's no Campari. For food, we ordered the garlic hummus, zucchini tower, and the branzino. The hummus was just ok and a little over priced ($13!), but I liked the house made Laffa bread that it's served with. The zucchini tower was delicious and perfectly crispy, but again, over priced for basically being zucchini tempura with tzatziki sauce. The branzino was well seasoned and big enough to share. We had great service from our waiter Braden, who was very patient and checked in with us just the right amount. We also didn't have any issues with a rude hostess that has been mentioned in some of the other reviews :/ I will say I was surprised at how dead it seemed on a Friday night. We were there from 6-830pm and only saw maybe 4 other parties. I'm not sure if it's just not well advertised or they're still kind of new, but I would have expected a restaurant of this caliber to be more busy during a peak time. Overall I'd definitely recommend this place for a date night or a fun dinner out with girls, just don't expect it to be a cheap night.

Walked up the the hostess stand. It didn't look too busy. Only a few tables filled outside and…read moreinside too. It looks cool inside, a big beautiful chandelier in the center. Thai engraved wood carvings on the one wall, reminds me of the many market artisan crafts in Thailand. There are lots of live plants everywhere too, even at the bar. We were seated quickly with menus. Not one person has come to our table for over 6 minutes. No water, no service, not even a staffer asking if anyone has waited on us yet. No inquiries whatsoever. Being seated is only the first part of decent service. Thinking we should have sat at the bar. The irksome part was I saw other tables with staff serving the other tables inside and outside too. We finally left after 10 minutes of waiting, no one was ever going to come to our table anytime soon.
