    Salad and Turkey melt!

    Loving the relaxed vibe at BasBlue. The food is delicious too. Highly recommend a stop here on beautiful Ferry St just off Woodward.

    Every event in this Yelp series is better than the next, actually they're all super awesome! I appreciate the work Nina and her team from The Love Experience add to each Monday night! The company is also great! I've made a few friends attending these events! I appreciate the hard work you put into making this happen!

    Seasonal decor

    Delicious food and cute atmosphere. Healthy & delicious options! Service was fine. Would definitely recommend a visit.

    I'm obsessed with this café. Very rarely do I find a café that ticks all of the boxes for me. There is an equal amount of sitting space for those who want to read and relax and for those who want to have a conversation with friends. My iced autumn spice latte was exceptional. Give the size of my drink, I also think this was a fair price (I spent $21 for the sandwich and latte, plus a tip). The baristas were also incredibly kind and helpful and super conversational which made me feel comfortable coming to a place I had never been to before. Speaking of which, I didn't know what the BasBlue foundation was before I came, and after reading about it, I definitely believe I will be coming back again to support an establishment with a great food and coffee and an even better mission.

    Curried coconut squash soup
    Kirsten A.

    I love this cafe! Busier and louder around lunch rush, but still has loud music playing even after crowd has dissipated. Despite being busy, the service was still quick and friendly from both the servers and the baristas! Very friendly staff willing to answer questions! I had the chai latte, and, this is why I am knocking down a star. I'd recommend getting something else- not my favorite. However, the curried coconut squash soup is incredible!! Tempted to give 5 stars just because of how delicious this is!! Overall I recommend this cafe if you have a bit more money to spend on food and drink, and prefer a friendly, social environment rather than a quiet space Note: this is a woman's club and upstairs is for members only, but you will have enough space downstairs with tables and couches available

    Turkey Melt
    Greg B.

    I was very impressed for the minute that we walked in through the well-preserved door. We were greeted at the base of the grand staircase by young lady that directs you to the cafe. This building is a women's Club and the upper floors are for Members only or members and their guests. The cafe is quiet comfortable and definitely a beautiful space. I had the turkey melt and quite honestly I expected a small portioned sandwich with a large price. I was pleasantly surprised by a monstrous, tasty, reasonably priced meal. I know things are a little bit more expensive than they used to be pre-covid, so I won't say that this place is inexpensive however you do get bang for your buck. The staff was pleasant and very informative on the menu choices, there was no rush and it was a very nice experience.

    Chicken and waffles and french toast with the basblue latte
    Munzer R.

    This is probably the best hidden gem in Detroit. Inside of a house in a neighborhood, the whole space has been converted into a cafe and co-working/office space. The cafe has amazing drink and food selections that are as tasty as they are visually aesthetic. I would recommend the french toast and the basblue latte. I am always in awe that the space actually exists and isn't talked about more, but every time I post, I always get friends replying and asking where I am. I would highly recommend coming here for brunch and working out of the cafe. It's a cool place to check out and definitely a unique and historic Detroit spot.

    What an adorable hidden gem! We were riding scooters around and on the search for a great coffee. Yelp pointed us in the right direction! The lattes were on point and the berry danish was warm and delicious. Wish we had a little spot like this closer to home!

I need not have worried; there was parking closer by. Oh well. The restaurant is tiny. And it maximizes the space by lining its walls with colorful bottles of wine, chic and cher containers of olive oil, and pots of artisanal honey hiding here and there. My friend pointed out the breathtakingly beautiful bouquet of dried flowers hanging over our table. I should have taken a photo when I had the chance. I started with the spiced brown sugar latte, made with oat milk. Delicious and sweeter than I thought. Even though the menu is small and curated, I could not decide between the nosh plate, the biscuit brekkie, or the quiche, which was the special of the day. So I ended up with the quiche but added the biscuit and bacon - I did not want to miss out. The crust of the quiche was fine, but the custard-like filling was divine, more like a savory crème brûlée or flan. Service was quick and efficient. Our reservation was made for one of the predefined 90-minute blocks, so the staff was on top of getting and delivering our meals and bussing tables as soon as they emptied to make room for the next group of guests.

Sadly, we got a message that they changed us to inside due to possible rain. I understand, but it didn't end up raining and the outside area looked incredible. I added a photo. Oh well. That was the only real bummer. The service was amazing - pacing out all of the small plate dishes in a sensible fashion. We ordered 7 different things, and one extra arrived that we didn't order. Every item was fresh and flavorful. We definitely will come back - though not all the time as that is cost prohibitive. While it definitely is on the pricey side, we are very happy to have dined here tonight.

I normally do not like breakfast burritos since I find them really dry, but the eggs were moist and tender and ditto for the tortilla. I had the sausage, and it was diced and mixed in with the other ingredients, but it was more of a processed sausage (maybe chicken?) with a bouncy texture. Western Potatoes: This dish has diced red skin potatoes with thinly shredded cooked red onions and bell peppers. It has a coating of spice on it which made the ketchup unnecessary as it was already so flavorful. The inside was fluffy, but the outside had no crisp and was slightly oily. I know part of it was due to the fact that it was delivered, but I wasn't a fan still.  Veg Life Quiche: This was a good quiche. The egg were tender with the addition of buttermilk, and it was teeming with spinach, tomato, onion and topped with cheddar cheese. The crust was a standard crust.  This is a solid option for catering if you want to have a more unique place than the standard chain restaurants. I liked how everything was almost all pre portioned out too.

    This was such a delightful and unique meal. And I'm so glad we came her for our friend's birthday…read moredinner. Since there were 4 of us we were able to order a bunch of stuff to share and have a taste of everything (my preferred way of dining out). You put in your entire order at once and the serve will course it out so it worked out perfectly for our group! Among so many interesting dishes I think the standouts were the carrot steak and the mushroom fettuccine! But honestly everything we ordered was good! I think the steak tartare was the only thing that was slightly underwhelming; I don't think it was super flavorful. We also got the potato donuts for dessert and those were fantastic and had such a great texture. The restaurant itself was gorgeous and felt really nice and intimate without ever feeling unapproachable. Our servers were great but it definitely felt like they were understaffed since there were a few times we wanted to ask a question or order more drinks and couldn't find anyone. Overall though definitely a great experience and would love to come back!

The city was bustling with people, and I was pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the downtown area was. The café had a vibrant, energetic atmosphere that perfectly matched the excitement of the city. Our server was absolutely amazing and made excellent recommendations. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. Based on the recommendation, I ordered the corned beef hash with the cinnamon pancakes, and both were fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to try the red velvet pancakes! My friend ordered the Triple Triple Omelette with the original buttermilk pancakes, and we both chose the cheesy grits. The cheesy grits were very creamy, though I would recommend adding a little more butter to enhance the flavor. That was really my only critique. The restaurant was busy, but after dining there, I completely understand why. Despite the crowd, we were greeted immediately, and the service was prompt throughout our visit.

It was a rainy morning and we chose not to go anywhere else, and waited our 20 minutes to be seated. This restaurant is bustling, and you can tell it is well liked. My fiancé had the omelette, and I had the Berry waffle. My waffle had fresh strawberries and blueberries on top along with compote. It was not quite what I was expecting, it seemed to be more like stewed fruit juice, but I enjoyed it. My fiancé enjoyed his omelette as well. I ordered a side of bacon, and it came with four very large slices of bacon. It's definitely not a cheap place to breakfast, as my waffle with bacon on the side was nearly $22. But if you want a green breakfast place the various breakfast options, including multiple types of waffles, grapes, eggs, pancakes, benedetc., then this is the place.
