    I visited here after a full breakfast next door. I was curios because I never even saw a his building before. Upon stepping in I was immediately in love. The artistry throughout is breathtaking, the smell of coffee is divine and not overwhelming. The coffee itself is perfect and the service was faster than expected. We hung out for a bit just to soak in the atmosphere. I would come here everyday if it was closer to where I live. But I'll have to settle for once a week going forward. And I'm telling all of my friends visit too.

    We really enjoyed this spot. They have unique options as well as your standard drip coffee. A gallery to pass the time & neat homemade trinkets for purchase. My Matcha latte was refreshing. Someone got the seasonal vanilla maple & another had the air infused espresso. Everyone left happy :) Definitely a nice little spot. Oh & super friendly staff! Thanks again. Oh ! There's even a 10% off a cup of coffee if you check in on yelp. (for now) hopefully you get it too

    I recently visited black box and I was amazed by the Great service, great tasting coffee, and. great concept. Everything was so amazing and the staff and owners were so friendly. This little gem is a family owned business. They have a walk up window which I think is pretty awesome. The two best selling drinks are the lavender latte and the iced caramel latte. Check out how beautiful they both look if u swipe right. They both tasted delicious. And they were paired beautiful with a freshly made strawberry rhubarb cake. Never had it before but it was super good !!! What's unique about them is that they feature many artists on the wall and have events such as open mic night. Definitely sounds like a cool place to be to meet some ppl. We'll be seeing you guys soon

    Absolutely *amazing* addition to this area! Black Box is a wonderful, family run artisan coffee shop. After searching a bit on Yelp for a new coffee shop, I started my day on a sunny morning by going to get Black Box and the walk up window was the sweetest addition to the experience. The barista was very knowledgeable and friendly and told me the lavender latte was their most popular menu item so that's what I ordered. Lavender lattes can be tricky sometimes but at Black Box, their lavender was *wow* so yummy!! I also tried the blackberry almond cake, which is made fresh by the owner, and it was such a yummy, light pastry to have with my coffee!! I will definitely be making this a regular place for my coffee and morning vibe!

    Well, wow. How incredibly cool. I honestly wouldn't have thought that this place was a super cool coffee shop if I hadn't searched through Yelp. But, I'm blown away by how awesome this place is. First, the coffee shop things: the selection is limited, but high-quality. I'm currently nibbling on a ridiculously tasty almond croissant. I'm told that there are usually additional selections, but they are out at the moment. That's fine with me. But, if you look at the artwork here, it reminds me that I haven't been in art gallery in a very long time. This place is a great excuse to change that. The owner said that they change the exhibit about once a month. They have concerts here sometimes. And, they also have smaller, more affordable things, made by Detroit area artists. This is a super cool fusion of concepts that I would expect to see in the bay area of California. Fortunately, I don't have to drive that far to get to this place.

    Not your typical coffee shop. A wonderful corner place for coffees off Wagner Place on Michigan Ave. My sister and I came here right after our lunch to try a Cappuccino and a Latte, with dessert. The pours were perfect and had a cute design on top. A delectable slice of Blackberry almond cake. The interior was modestly decorated with local artists works on the walls. Service was friendly and also happy to answer all our questions about the place and artwork. This is the first time I have ever tried a stand up bar coffee shop, but due to Covid sit down seating wasn't available at the time. I can't wait until the weather is warmer to take my coffee outside to enjoy the view and weather. This place will defiantly get busier when Covid is finally done, and more people are out and about. I would highly recommend you give this place a try if your in West Dearborn!

    LOVE this place! Cute little walk up window you can order at on a nice sunny day. They have great lattes here I always try their seasonal drinks when I can. I had the honey bee when I went last which was a honey vanilla latte and it was delicious! If I lived closer I'd be here everyday

    Such a hidden gem! My family and I had a great time visiting Black box! We went on a Saturday afternoon and we were the only people inside. The staff was so welcoming and friendly! I ordered an iced latte with caramel and it was delicious! I enjoyed looking at the paintings while enjoying my coffee! I will definitely return.

    We all know I love a good coffee place. Casual comforts meet true hospitality after talking with the barista and owner. A true testament to how friendly people truly make an experience worth it. I'll likely be back tomorrow just to try the homemade sweet treats. Came for a concert- staying for the coffee!

    Iced latte
    Sydnee W.

    Our go-to coffee spot! Their iced caramel latte is my absolute favorite. They blend the flavoring in with the milk which gives it a special touch and makes it have a delicious frothy top. The grab and go window is convenient for sitting outside at their tables, or going inside offers an opportunity to see unique, local artwork they have for sale/on display! Only little critique I have is hoping that someday they will make their own flavored syrups for their coffees - they currently use the usual brand you see everywhere and I try to avoid due to the ingredients added. Otherwise, seriously 100% 5 star with kind employees and owners. We are forever guests and come almost weekly :)

    Greenfield Village is incredible! Came here for Holiday Nights with our friends. Pure magic +…read morehistory = Greenfield Village. Parking is easy and free! Bonus. Definitely recommend purchasing tickets in advance since Holiday Nights sells out. We came on a Tuesday before Christmas. Good crowd. I love the wagon rides, Model T rides, ice skating, brass bands, carolers, and more! We started our night by stuffing our bellies. The Philly steak from A Touch of Honey was delicious! We enjoyed some festive cocktails - spiked cocoa and mulled wine. We were able to explore the post office (still active). Individuals had the ability to purchase post cards and mail them domestically and internationally. Next stop was learning about Edison, seeing his original work, and electric cable artifacts that come out once a year. I loved seeing the chemistry lab and learning about how lower manhattan first was lit up. Lots of stops to stand or sit by a firepit, enjoy mini donuts, and more drinks. Highly recommend especially during the holidays.

    Ok, so this place was so awesome! I had no expectations that there was as much going on here, as…read morethere was. Apparently, we lucky to go during a slow/off season time, parking was easy! The buildings were fantastic, the history, and employees stationed around were eager to share stories and the history of each place. It also seemed like the employees here were well tenured as the ones whom I asked had worked here for a really long time, and really enjoyed their jobs. So, you can go through this place in a day, but if you really wanted to deep dive into the buildings etc., you would need to plan to spend maybe 2 days here. I am not from the area, so 2 days was not an option, so powering through was THE option for me. Still a great full day of exploring, the few downsides for us on this trip was that a lot of the buildings which I would have loved to see were under maintenance, however I also appreciate that they maintain these buildings so well! Lastly, we picked up the ride pass as we wanted to ride the train and model T, we asked the cashier how long the wait would be for these and she said rides have about a 10-minute wait or so. When we got to the model T, the estimated wait was about an hour and 20 minutes, so we thought we would head over to the Train depot, but the train was closed as they were setting it up for a nighttime event. They refunded us for this portion so really can't speak badly about it. Overall A+ experience.

    Holy cow! Year two…read moreof Maker Faire here in Detroit was faboo! Despite the heat everything was just killer. From the outside with their great tents featuring the best local and national techy/creative/innovative organizations and hackerspaces, local businesses selling their wares (t-shirts, food, etc) and amazing things to see and do (like the giant mousetrap, the massive bikes, gokart races, Theatre Bizarre, and the huge ass dragon that spits fire and scared the bejeebus out of my 3 year old cousin) there was plenty going on to make your visit worth your while. Some local eats from Buddy's Pizza, Avalon Breads, and Treat Dreams rounded out the tastes and there were even tunes from local bands in case you wanted your socks rocked off. Adding to the fun was also the indoor displays in the museum. Tickets to the event included entrance to The Henry Ford Museum so not only did you have all that amazingness that they had to offer there were also great MF bits to check out like crafty spaces for kids, tutorials on how to knit/crochet, and the Handmade Detroit section featuring a craft fair from locals selling good from artwork to jewelry, make up and housewares. NEAT! Also loved the free app you could download for the faire. Made the event even more interactive. It included the schedules, maps, and a game wherein you scanned all the checkpoints to enter into a drawing to win some prizes. Totally sweet. Extra props to the cupcake car rolling around and the water swing which I was sincerely sad I didn't get to take a ride on. Next year! I'm already eagerly anticipating their return!

    Have been to the Henry Ford Museum many times, but this is a first for the Maker Faire. Lots of…read moreinnovations, crafts for kids, new ideas, & lots of robotics. This year included a large Star Wars & Star Trek exhibition, which was a huge hit. Many people in costumes & photos could be taken with Star Wars characters. There were many outside activities as well: live music, rides, go carts, robotic competition, crazy bikes, etc. The only downside was not too many food places & the few that were there were crowded & only a few places to sit & eat. Also, it was sunny & hot. No water or drink vendors, except for the beer garden. It was fun & different. Would definitely recommend & will go again! Very nice elite event.
