Recently, the city of Detroit began to see more and more coffee shops pop up with fancy names and…read morefancier menues. But unlike those places where lattes cost more than the hourly wage of the employees, Cafe 1923 has always been true to what a coffee shop ought to represent. A neighborhood hangout, without fuss and pretense. Good coffee, a jar to pay for your refills, a stage for local performers, a library and hang out place in the backroom, and an unmistakable sense of community and belonging.

Honestly, this place wasn't that impressive. The menu is on the counter so if you've never been…read morebefore, good luck. There were 3 baristas working and although they seemed to know what they were doing, it still seemed like they were a little confused. They don't ask for your name so if you walk away, they just say the drink order - no outside voices so you may not hear it. Pretty good seating options with outside and inside tables. Seemed like they had a group of regulars sitting at a table behind the counter - one of the guys has a VERY loud laugh and he seemed to be having a grand time based on the amount of times he shared it with the whole shop. The crumble had a good flavor but it was pretty dry. Chai latte was okay but was pretty mid temp by the time I got it. I want to mention the tall gentleman was friendlier than the other two, He actually didn't look like he was bothered when someone asked him a question.

Decent coffee stop near Eastern Market. Inside has plenty of seating and is a nice place to rest…read more Coffee menu is very limited...definitely more of a purist type drink establishment so if you are looking for a fun, fancy drink this is not the place for it. The only sweetener they had was simple syrup - not even honey. My friend ordered an iced coffee with milk and simple syrup and said it was okay. Service wasn't bad and they were able to make me a pour over iced decaf which was great - a lot of places don't do that. All in all a decent stopover.

Visited this airy, bright, and unassuming space with a friend the other day for study group. I was…read morehesitant at first for whatever reason, like it felt pompous or something with no signage -- I was pleasantly surprised. The food and drink were delicious. The menu is minimal but mighty. I felt genuinely nourished after a vanilla bean latte, parfait, biscuit (Red Lobster-esque cheddar biscuits) / egg sandwich, and greens salad. The eggs were expertly fluffed how I like them. My friend had the lentil soup along with a tofu scramble on focaccia. We ate it all! The espresso was strong, you get real silverware and clayware/bowls. Wow! I was taken aback. And for what you're getting, the prices aren't all too bad. They could definitely be higher (don't make them higher ) I encourage any coffee shop loiterer, vegan/vegetarian, or city dweller, student, etc -- to try this spot. There are a wide variety of books in the room connected to the dining area, with book shelves filled with zines and art pieces. Also a stage? What goes on in here!? Keep up the amazing work, this is a great addition to my favorites!

I got an iced cardamom chai and it was super yummy! Had the right combination of creaminess and earthiness. The space also connects to People's Records, which is always a treat to visit.

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with the drinks. The coffee flavorings tasted inexpensive and artificial, which took away from the overall experience. I also ordered an iced tea and later found out they don't actually brew iced tea--they simply pour hot tea over ice. As a result, all of the ice melted almost immediately, leaving me with a lukewarm drink and forcing me to go back for more ice. While it's a nice place to hang out, I would probably return for the atmosphere rather than the beverages.

I found that later in the day, it can be a bit difficult to get seating for more than two people, but there are plenty of benches around the area, which makes it a convenient location. The employees are always responsive, and give great recommendations for food and beverages! Today, I got a spinach feta pastry and, my personal favorite, the cardamom rose latte. The pastry had a great texture and flavor to it, especially when warmed up. The cardamom rose latte was superb as always.

My mom and I stopped in on a chilly afternoon, looking to warm up with something cozy. The café itself is small but inviting, with a few booths and tables for dining in. The woman behind the counter was such a sweetheart. She was genuinely friendly and welcoming. They were out of my mom's favorite dessert (the Yemeni honeycomb), but we went for two cups of mint tea instead ($2.99 each, regular size). Even the regular cups were huge, and I'm pretty sure one is enough to share between two people. The tea came with real mint leaves, which gave it that fresh, earthy flavor that hits perfectly with a touch of sugar. Just a tip: remove the leaves after a few minutes so the tea doesn't turn bitter.

The coffee shop is easily accessible with no barriers. There is a small parking lot, but plenty of street parking. Inside the warmth of a welcoming environment greets you as does the invigorating aroma of coffee beans. There is plenty of seating with areas perfect for reading, working on your laptop, or playing chess with your opponent. The menu is just right with a variety of drinks and baked treats. I had a huge piece of pound cake and a cold brew with oat milk and macadamia nut flavoring. It was just the fuel I needed to begin the work day. Service was friendly and efficient. I was very pleased, and plan to go back immediately to try other drink varieties. Perhaps I'll try a flavored lemonade next time.
