a car parked in front of a coffee shop
Mark L.

First visit to this local Hamtramck coffee shop. I love to see how this house has been converted into a cafe. The coffee was very good. I also had a cheese danish. I don't think it was made on site, but it was very good. They had the normal assortment of cafe type foods. Great place to get some work done. Or, read a book. Multiple rooms with different seating. I loved the jazz playing in the background. The service was friendly.

The last time I visited Cafe 1923 was in 2006. I was surprised to see that 16 years later, this coffee shop still looks pretty much the same, making me feel nostalgic. It's a great place to get some work done, and the decor is fabulous. Today, I ordered the Chai Latte, Caramel Coffee, and French Vanilla Latte. All three tasted great!

What a gem! Loved this historical coffee shop inside this old general store. From the scale to the wood it is a beauty. The Barista was wonderful, did catch his name but he was so personable and informative ...just great place with service, ambiance and Chai tea was spot on!

Snickers Latte and coffee cake
Munzer R.

I love working from this cafe! They have a decent amount of seating, never too busy or load, lots of outlets, and reallyyyy good coffee. It's definitely on the sweeter side though, so maybe ask for less pumps of flavor or something if you don't have a big sweet tooth. I get the snickers latte, highly recommend, but a little too sweet admittedly. The interior aesthetic in the second half of the cafe is really cool too, with a library. I only took a video so apologies for the blurry picture, but should give an idea of the space.

Lentil stew and cappuccino with soy milk

Went here for lunch with a coworker. They have a nice selection of snacks and lunch food. I had the lentil stew made by the local Buddhist temple down the street and it was hearty and delicious! The cappuccino was pretty good too.

See all

Service was friendly. They were very busy, but very apologetic for any delay. Sandwiches and coffee were both outstanding.

Baobab Fare - Plantain chips with dipping sauce

Seriously one of the best chicken dishes I've ever had. This place was a little ways away from the…read moredowntown area, but easy enough to get to by bus. For two people, without reservations, we waited about 30 minutes on an early Saturday evening. Well with the wait. The interior was nicely designed and the staff were very attentive. Ordered the Kumuhana and tried the Ji Hibiscus beverage. The drink was good, but on the sweet side. The food was amazing. Chicken was super tender, rice was cooked well, corn salad added a nice touch of freshness, and the plantains were good too. A very filling meal, I'm surprised I was able to finish it all. Would definitely come back again, if in town.

It required two visits, trying different dishes to finally have enough 411 to write a review…read more Tried: Sambusa, Plantains Chips & Dipping Sauce, Nyumbani, Kuku, Kumuhana, Mbuzi, Samaki, Intore, Mgoga, Tamu, Coco Mango, & Ji Passion Fruit My Favorites: Intore and Samaki - when it comes to flavor profiles, these two dishes shine over others. I also asked the waitress which dish is the most popular and they told me the Samaki is their #1 seller. I tired half/half on the rice on my first visit, this visit I went with spiced rice pilau only. I'm not a fan of coconuts, while the coconut rice doesn't have a overpowering coconut flavor, spiced rice will be my to go moving forward. Nyumbani, while decent, the meat was bit under seasoned to my taste. Kuku was the better over Kuhuhana. Mbuzi - the goat shank was lukewarm when we got it, it was bit hard to break the meat off the bone, but worth trying at least once. Service was superb on both visits, water bottle gets refilled w/o asking, and great experience. While I won't be able to make it out often, definitely will be on my list of places to revisit while in Detroit area.

This is the Coffee shop vibe you are looking for. I was able to come in and log into work as I ate…read moreand 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.

Loveeee a quaint coffee shop! This place was super warm upon entry with a nice greeting from staff!…read moreThere 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!!!
