    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.

    The food keeps getting better at BasBlue Cafe located in a beautiful historic Detroit home several…read moreblocks from the Detroit Institute of Arts. I've been here twice this year. First to try the delicious Chinese food from the resident chef who owns Chi Fan Le. There was so much to choose from and every dish was excellently prepared and authentic. On my second visit, I tried the regular menu and loved the delicious soup and salad. Please keep the Roasted Beet + Citrus Salad and the Curried Leek And Corn Chowder as permanent menu items or at least on regular rotation. I will return to have both items again. Free street parking as well as a free small parking lot kitty corner from the restaurant.

    BasBlue Cafe is a hidden gem in Detroit! It is open from the moment BasBlue opens (early in the…read moremorning) all the way until it closes and serves both breakfast and lunch fare! There is currently an awesome Chi Fan Le residency in the cafe right now, with incredibly delicious Chinese American dishes that rotate as well between breakfast and lunch and everything is FANTASTIC! They also have their own menu of coffee, tea, and other drinks for you to order from, along with their own food menu outside of Chi Fan Le, but I highly recommend ordering off the Chi Fan Le menu while you still can! If you order food and drink, they'll bring the food to whatever table you're sitting at in the cafe's adjoining seating area when it's ready and they bus the items for you as well. The service is incredible, the vibes are high, and it's a glorious place to grab a bite or stay for awhile snacking and coworking as well! I love BasBlue Cafe!
