    Great cafe with easy street parking. I had the hot chocolate which was served in a large cup. I had two palmiers on the side that were fresh and delicious. They have interesting outside seating.

    Cafe Noir is tucked away and is the perfect gem. This cafe combined with a gallery space is absolutely fascinating. The baristas are insanely sweet and make the best drinks. I got a latte with a raspberry croissant. That latte although simple was made with great beans and love and care. The croissant was STUNNING and flakey and buttery and had a string raspberry filling. The open space is great to sit and chat or get some work done so truly the any reason to go is a great reason!

    Cute lil café. I love the location on John R Row, a strip if businesses within a residential neighborhood. The drinks and treats choices are minimal compared to larger commercial coffee shops, but there is enough offered to satisfy every coffee drinker. The sweet potato muffin is incredibly delicious warmed. Service is sweet. Seating very minimal inside, but there are seating options outside when weather permits. Parking available right outside of the door. I only wish it stayed open later. It's 5 minutes from my work. It would be amazing to sit outside and decompress with a cup of coffee after leaving work at 4:30.

    Coming to Café Noir is a real treat for many reasons. They have a plethora of pastries to select from, including some I had never heard of before. I tried their raspberry croissant, and while it was slightly too sweet for me, the texture was wonderful soft and buttery. Their coffee was great, served in nice thick mugs. The space itself is a good place to work with plenty of seating. The barista was kind and served relatively quickly. Part of what makes Café Noir special is their connection to the art gallery next door. You can grab a coffee, and then go to the art gallery to see Black artists' work for sale.

    Love this cute little coffee shop. Came here for a Too good to go bag and can't wait to come back. Looking forward to sitting outside in the warmer weather in the little sitting spots outside. The music was a vibe and I love that they have artwork for sale on their walls. Drip coffee and my sandwiches were yummy! Service was great! Greeted with a friendly smile, and service was quick. I'll be back soon.

    They have the best selection of sandwiches and pastries. The service was very friendly, informative and quick. The ambience in the style of the small cozy restaurant was very unique and inviting.

    Blueberry Latte here is superb. In general, attention to detail here will make you want to come back. Ambiance is welcoming, staff is professional and service overall made me want to tell my friends about the place and return. Made me very proud to visit a neighborhood coffee shop as a native Detroiter.

    Really nice shop! Go support a local coffee shop, you pay $6 at Starbucks, give it to the community instead.

    Good amount of seating and friendly community vibes. The attached Gallery is stellar, too! That sweet potato latté is real good as well.

    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.

    Alba is a popular spot... at least it was on this Sunday morning!!…read more I found street parking relatively easy. The signage from outside is clear. I have to add that I was welcomed whole heartedly as I walked into Alba. There was a line... and it continued to grow. It also moved fairly quickly. They offer their viral egg soufflé breakfast sandwich and a number of other pastries, coffee, latte, hot chocolate, and more. My breakfast sandwich was fresh and delicious. It was a lot. I got full before I finished. This quaint shop is worth a visit! Have you been? What's your favorite menu item?
