This is my favorite cafe in Michigan!! I swear I was in there at least 2x a week. The food and coffee is so fresh and tasty, you can definitely tell the quality is high. My favorite go to is the iced rose cardamom latte and their breakfast brioche sandwich. Just recently tried their cookies as well and it's unreal. The staff is super friendly and the cafe itself is so cute. The outdoor patio area in the spring/summer is my favorite place to sit and relax during lunch. read more

Cute spot! Wish there were more seating because there's a nice vibe in here. They make a mean matcha latte (perfect sweetness) and have a variety of nice pastries! I enjoyed my chocolatey hazelnut cookie -- wouldn't necessarily call it shortbread despite the name, but it was good! Pass up Starbucks and drop by here instead, you won't regret it! read more

Busy and popular spot! A few places for small groups to sit. Came in to try their RI coffee but they were out! Got a cortado instead - not the cheapest but good coffee. read more

One of the best coffee shops we've been to! Stopped in for a quick coffee and bite to eat. We sat outside on a hot day and had some iced coffee and a breakfast sandwich. There were so many different ways to get an iced coffee and a handful of different syrups. My wife got vanilla and I got maple cinnamon. She got the Rollo for food and I got the brioche breakfast sandwich. I could not believe how soft the brioche bin was and how flavorful her wrap was! All the workers were super friendly and all of what we ordered came out very quick read more

Cafe Origins is tucked right into the bustling area of Birmingham, and it's a really charming spot to stop for a coffee or bite to eat. They have a beautiful patio with plenty of seating, and I appreciated that the tables were clean and sturdy, not a wobbly one in sight. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference when you're trying to enjoy a drink without worrying about spills. The staff was friendly and quick to bring out orders. Something I thought was interesting. They take orders on Toast devices right in the café, which isn't something I've really seen before. The baristas were super nice, and overall the service felt smooth and organized. My only small critique was that the music was a bit loud, even outside, so it was harder to fully relax or have a conversation without raising your voice a little. When I tried to grab the baristas attention when I was leaving to figure out where I should put my items, he didn't actually hear me so I think maybe slightly turning down the music would be a good idea. This is really just my preference because I'm a reader, though, so some people may have different opinions on that or not really care. The menu is diverse, with plenty of drink options and a good selection of food. I only ordered a chocolate croissant this time, but I saw several sandwiches going out to other tables and they looked like a generous portion. For my drink, I went with an iced chai tea latte. It was good--smooth and refreshing--but I personally like my chai with a stronger spice kick. A lot of places sprinkle cinnamon on top or mix it in, which I enjoy, so in hindsight I should've asked if that was an option. That's more on me than the café, though. Overall, a cozy and well-run spot in a great location. I'd come back, especially to try one of the sandwiches or explore more of the drink menu, maybe on a slightly quieter afternoon. read more

My first visit here, and definitely not my last. This might just be my new favorite spot for coffee in Birmingham. They offer much more than just great coffee, including ice cream, baked goods, and sandwiches. The fact that they have several halal options is a big plus. I tried the affogato, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be back for it again soon. On top of that, the barista was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great service goes a long way! read more

Nice spot for a good cup of coffee and hanging out with family. I came here a few weeks ago while visiting mom and sister over Mother's Day weekend. We spent one of the days exploring the area and came across this shop. We enjoyed some pastries, ice cream, and coffee. It's bright and spacious, lots of plants and a very pleasant atmosphere. Good value for money, Service was prompt and friendly. I would return. @azfitfoodfun read more

This is a great place, they Have some nice options, they make homemade bread and all items are made there on site. It has inside and outside eating. If you want to try some tasty items, give them a try. I recommend the chicken pot pie, with a side of gravy. read more

Perfect new little bistro in Birmingham. The staff was so patient and friendly, even when the place was busy. They brought out our food and accommodated all kinds of small requests with a smile. Delicious vanilla bean latte in the most amazing glass cups. I tried the morning roll with eggs, avocado and bacon. Very good and filling. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu. read more

Coffee and avocado toast were delicious and staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Also, it was a relaxing atmosphere early in the am. read more

My new favorite place to eat! Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner - they got it all covered! Lamb rollo is my favorite! Chicken one is Really good too. Don't want it as a roll up? No problem - turn it into a salad or a rice bowl. Quiches are yummy as well. This place has a very ethically diverse menu which pays homage to different cultural cuisines. I love that in the summer you can eat outside- with potted palm trees, sun umbrellas and music playing outside- it gives the place Floridian vibe (minus the ocean) . Finish your meal with a cup of coffee and a gelato. read more

I go here a lot and have tried lots of different things on their menu and have never been disappointed! Everything is fresh and made thoughtfully. The quiche is my favorite quiche in this world and doesn't to be changed at all! Please don't change it! I really do think this is the best cafe in the Detroit area and it's just not the food it's also the staff that make it such a nice experience. My go tos are the: Tuna melt add fresnos - it's sooo delicious if you love tuna melts. Applewood smoked bacon quiche - I rave about this quiche/ it's perfect/ no notes ( please don't get rid of it) Pistachio latte- best I've had!! Orange carrot fresh juice- they make it fresh and it's so energizing and delicious. If you are in the area stop it- everything from salads, sandwiches, and pastries is phenomenal. read more

Great cafe with awesome food. Staff here are very friendly but one problem. We ordered some of the ready made items with a roll up sandwich that had to be made in the kitchen. We waited almost 30 minutes to have it made. The staff were apologetic, I wonder if they were short staffed in the kitchen. The food is unique and really good, so we will be back. read more

Loved this little cafe! When you walk in, there was someone taking your order. Polite staff. Very easy to see the menu and decide what you want - with tons of options! Coffee taste/flavor was so good - I got their cold brew. I also got a quiche to go and they packaged it so cutely with silverware, a plate, etc. I'll be back! read more

Matcha and pistachio cream syrup was a 10/10! Their banana and biscoff gelato is pretty amazing too.

Low key, clean, friendly service. Had the special fish with beets. Healthy and even better with sauces available. The lentil soup was delicious and also had a nice green sauce with it :) the shrub drink was refreshing and felt healthy! read more

Coffee is burnt and over priced. The food is worth trying and the ambiance is nice but if you have another option for coffee I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Great addition to downtown! Amazing treats and menu all around. Come here every weekend and will always be back. Great staff and healthy alternatives. read more

This place has gone wayyyy down hill. Used to be my favorite breakfast/lunch place. Seems that the ingredients and quality of food has changed. The hot sauce doesn't even taste remotely the same. Croque monsieur doesn't hit the same at all. They stopped making kimchi..... idk what happened but prices went up and quality went through the floor. read more

The staff here are incredibly nice and you can tell they all enjoy working there which is a bonus! I've gone here several times and no matter who helps me they've always been extremely kind. I believe their positivity rubs off on their customers and makes the whole cafe a nice and welcoming environment. Not to mention, their coffee is probably my favorite over anywhere else. I love that they have patio seating and I hope to get out there over the summer to enjoy it. My only complaint would be the WiFi doesn't work that well, so I usually end up having to use my hotspot which is not a big deal for me, but please be aware if you intend to do work here. read more

I use to love this place, but for the price it's not worth it. Ordered a roast beef sandwich had no sauce and 3 tiny pickles on the whole sandwich. For almost 20 bucks super disappointing. Went to get a bacon breakfast sandwich with extra meat, why is extra meat half the price of the sandwich. I also use to add kimchi to my sandwiches but it's 4 dollars for a tiny scoop. The portions to the price don't make sense. read more

Easiest 5 stars I've ever given. The service was great. Someone takes your order at the front and then they bring it out to you at a table. Not sure why I haven't heard about it yet but it is a great place to get quality food and enjoy your meal. Very enjoyable atmosphere. It seems like every person who walks in loves it. read more

This has become my favorite go to place. The pistachio latte is fabulous, the espresso itself is very very good. For breakfast sandwiches from here, the BLT-e was great! The bread is definitely fresh and does fall apart but the flavor made up for that. They have outdoor and indoor seating. It's really casual and the staff was so nice. 10/10 recommend read more

I'm always up for trying a new cafe. This place invested in a large, expensive Loring roaster which caught my eye. It was a bit disappointing to find out that they basically just roast blends and not anything for coffee nerds. I will admit the espresso I had was very smooth and well-made, but given all the local competition and great coffee I've tried it didn't really stand out. read more

Was happy to try this new spot in Birmingham recently. Found the ambiance to be bright and cheerful, with staff that were friendly and helpful. Their menu proclaims the locale to be "more than coffee," and this description is spot-on. Offerings included hand pies, which consisted of a variety of pastries with different savory fillings. I got the curried potato samosa (delish!), while the co-diner ordered the chicken pot pie - he liked it very much. The pastry used in the hand pies was flaky, buttery and flavorful - just what the diners ordered. Other options were: rollos (wraps), soups (we each got the clam chowder: highly recommend), salads, sandwiches, and quiches. There was also a lamb tagine as the day's special. For dessert, there were gelati and pastries. We split a hazelnut cookie - very nice. Good variety of options in all categories. Hot and cold beverages were on offer, from coffee to tea to juices, and even a chocolate egg cream. Will definitely need to come back and try that one.House-made bread was also available. We took a loaf home, and it was great. All in all, if you are looking for a sparkling clean and friendly place for lunch or a light dinner (or even a more satisfying dinner, if you get the daily special), Cafe Origins will hit the spot. read more

Callista was absolutely the sweetest, she made the best lattes and she deserves the world

Latte is so good, great food, great vibes, definitely I will go back. Sandwiches are variety. pastries are fresh.

Great service! So many delicious baked goods, but chose the cinnamon roll which was great! Also really enjoyed my shrimp rollo...the pita bread is so good! read more

The service was truly amazing! I love the food and my London Fog. Shayla and Erik were truly a blessing. They went over the menu, cleaned our tables. brought our food to our table, and engaged in conversation to make us feel welcome. These two deserve an applause for a job well done. The whole team was amazing! This was a first experience for my friend and I. We did not want to leave the restaurant as it was so cozy and friendly. This will be our go to place moving forward.

Such a great place! The food is amazing and there are so many great things to choose from. Bread and pastries made in house. The staff and atmosphere just make the experience even better. We are lucky to have Chef Alex here in Birmingham! read more

Food was mediocre at best, took 25 minutes just to get it, Shocking that a place can be so unprofessional and immature that they take actions that can ruin a customers experience, you're not there to have fun, you're there to cook for the customers and grow as a cook. To just sit there and laugh with your other employees while they number one thing in your restaurant (the customers) matter most and you aren't putting them first? ridiculous. read more
