Café Rhema has always been a great place for the community, and especially the college students, to come and enjoy the comfortable seating and relaxing atmosphere. Unfortunately I will not be taking my business there anymore. I'm not sure if they have new baristas or what but the quality of drinks has really declined. Lastly, the last time I ordered at 'Rhema, the man who took my order, had a conversation with me and everything, brought out my drink and gave it to the only other African American woman in the cafe. She respectfully declined it (as it wasn't her drink) and he looked around the cafe, gave up, and dropped my hot chocolate on the counter. I went to the counter and asked the man if that was my drink and he just shrugged and said "Yeah." No apologies, no new drink for the wait. Unfortunately this was the third time that I experienced this kind of out-casting behavior in this establishment. And while the location is perfect for college students like myself, that 'comfortable seating and relaxing atmosphere' no longer applies to me. read more

It's literally the best coffee around, and on top of it their food menu is phenomenal. Best part, they're always trying to add to their options with the seasons - so there's always something fresh with this place. To top it all off, the staff here are such hard workers. You can tell they love coffee, and people. Best coffee in the Midwest. read more

Had a wonderful experience here. Simply wandered in because it caught my eye from the street. It has a cool, historic vibe to it. Customer service was outstanding; very friendly, welcoming, and fun. Ordered a nitro coffee and breakfast sandwich (both were great). The server also let me try the nitro root beer which was so cool of her. Highly recommend this spot -- I will definitely be back as the lunch menu looked super good. read more

The coffees are really good! The mint chocolate coffee is excellent! Got a cinnamon bun with the check in special because they were out of cookies!! Win for us! It was pretty good, definitely way better than a cookie!! Only downfall is it is kinda expensive but good coffee is worth it! read more

This is such a nice little coffee shop in downtown Flint. So glad they opened up by campus. Their coffee and other non coffee drinks are really delicious. I actually really like their vanilla latte, better than Starbucks. They are the first place in this area that makes bubble tea. It's a nice effort but definitely not the best. The tapioca pearls aren't prepped properly, so you get a hard chewy texture to it. I've had a few of their sandwiches which were pretty good as well. The location is very college friendly. It's a great place for small local artists to stop by and perform. read more

Cafe Rhema - Vanilla Latte, yum! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Flint, Michigan

Such a wondrous atmosphere, really good food/drink selections, cozy seating but still plenty of room if you have a large group, reasonably priced, friendly staff, soothing music and the decor is every bit as trendy as the patrons that frequent this business. read more

Pros: wonderful service, very delightful to go in. Great oldies atmosphere, and decor to match. Food was top notch. Would eat again! Cons: latte was a touch on the weak side. 4 stars. would recommend to a friend read more

Cute little cafe in the heart of downtown Flint. Vanilla latte was delicious. Wish it was hotter. Latte was like warm at best. Cat pajama -toast , jam and bread. There peanut butter is really good, creamy with little chunks. It is the perfect ratio. It is served with seasonal Jam. Today was a black berry it was very sweet with a little bit of tartness. Peanut butter was what made the dish. Next time want to try the avocado toast. Astomsphere is very kitschy, but great vibe. Gave 4 stars only because of the Luke warm latte read more

Adorable little coffee/snack shop in downtown Flint! Love their interior design, it gives it such a cozy welcoming feel! Staff here is super sweet! If it were on my way to work- it'd be my everyday choice! Glad to see a downtown business doing well :) read more

I stopped in this place last week for the first time with some coworkers. It had a very cool, vintage vibe inside. Staff was friendly and greeted us upon walking in. Even though I didn't order anything, the food looked delicious. I must have been impressed because I stopped in again today and actually order some food. I got "That's My Jam" sandwich that had turkey, Gouda cheese, and house made jam and a side salad that was made with spring mix, feta cheese, and a blueberry-raspberry vinaigrette. Both were delicious!! I ordered an iced Matcha Latte and it was very refreshing! My friend had the Prohibition Pig sandwich. We both ate all of our food! We will be back! read more

I brought my grand daughter here and the guy behind the counter acted like it was a bother for him to wait on us , But I still ordered overpriced coffees . I had came here with my daughter about a week before and the counter help was ok ,not the friendliest, the place is so beautiful inside it's a shame that the help aren't read more

Best bubble tea around Flint! And I also have to say the atmosphere of the place is so cool too, great place just to go hang out and grab some coffee or my favorite bubble tea Been going there for years read more

Cafe Rhema is definitely nostalgia for me. 4 years ago, it was the first coffee shop I visited in Flint. 3 years ago, I made friends with the employees, and built up my Flint passion here. And 2 years ago, my now wife and I met at Rhema before our first date. There are many exceptional coffee shops in Flint, none of them are "better" than the other. Rhema is very unique in its own right, and has many great options for coffee and food. Great espresso, great specialty drinks, and as of recently, their menu is one of the best in downtown, food wise. Highly recommend coming here and spending an hour or so drinking coffee, meeting people, and building relationships. It started a conversation with me and my wife, who knows what experiences others will have. The latte art game is strong as well! read more

Poor customer service. Waited nearly 15 minutes to be served. While a long wait time is usually accompanied with a long line, Cafe Rhema is well known for never promptly serving patrons. Whether a long line exist or not, the usual wait is never under 10 minutes. A trip to Cafe Rhema is not worth anyone's time. While the food appears tasteful, it truly lacks taste. Prices are inflated too highly for the half-wittily made "gourmet" dishes. Espresso tastes unworthy of any consumer. Overall, better options can be found down the street at Starbucks, Wildwood or the soon to be opening Foster's coffee shop. Save your money & go elsewhere. read more

Excellent food and coffee. It's nice to know that they do support the local community by buying from the Farmer's Market a couple minutes away. I had the chicken pesto flatbread. It was cheesy, full of pesto flavor, and you could tell the thing was fresh. The crust was also crispy and delicious. It was more like a pizza to me, but I'm not complaining. Yum! read more

Just love this place Great food and service, a little on the expensive side but worth it. Great atmosphere!!! read more

Great espresso and coffee drinks. Some of the other choices in their menu are a little overpriced for the taste and quality (i.e. Sandwiches), but since this is a coffee shop, I'll gladly give the credit that's due for the coffee products. Oh and also I feel the cold brew on tap that they have here is very good, but needs to be diluted a little more. read more

Seriously the best around. I have been around the world and have had what people call the best coffee in the world, but this is by far the best coffee you will find. And their food... Their food is absolutely perfect! My favorite is the Thai peanut chicken flatbread! read more

Looking for a great place to grab a delicious Bubble Tea with a darling environment? Well, this is it!!! Not only do they have a variety of Bubble Teas but gourmet coffees too :).

If you're looking for a Café that is both delicious and aesthetically pleasing, you've found it. Cafe Rhema is a great place to go with friends to talk or play a game of chess. It is also a great place to go if you prefer to sit and study while drinking a hot coffee. The beautiful environment on the inside is worth the trip alone. There is pleasant service, a variety of options, and good quality food and drink. Their bubble tea smoothies are the best I've had in my life, and you will not regret it. read more

good atmosphere & good location. I guess business is good for the college student. I came to visit my bf from CA and I am a big foodie. I am sorry but the boba/tapioca was horrible. I guess it isnt big as california for boba in michigan, but really, you need to cook better boba, add more sugar, (probably cook less time for boba and add ice to make more chewy) add more syrups for your peach teas. I worked with boba shop since 2003, and this is the far most horrible boba I ever tasted. read more

This café is unlike any other in the area. It has a 1920's vibe with vintage chairs and classic jazzy music. There are cute couch areas with small hanging chandeliers. The coffee and beverage selections are excellent with my favorite: lavender latté. They also have smoothies, bubble drinks, waffles, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. I love going to coffee shops and I definitely recommend this one! I initially came here to study, it's a condusive (quiet) place for that, at least on a Sunday afternoon, but I was still able to get work done uninterrupted. I will definitely be back again. read more

Such a cute establishment, with good bites. Staff is nice and friendly. Service is quick.

First visit just for coffee and a snack. Excellent coffee that came in a carafe and was enough for two cups. Yummy cinnamon roll. My friend had a very good pumpkin latte and pumpkin muffin that she really enjoyed. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Flint, Michigan. read more

Stop by a few times a week to get coffee. They have a great selection of different types of coffee and lattes. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I've asked a few times for their recommendation and they haven't failed me yet. The bourbon barrel coffee is one of my favorites. read more

I love the vibe here. Everything about it is different from standard coffee shops, and in a good way. They have tables for people who want to study and they have couches/comfy chairs for groups of people to talk. The drinks take a little bit longer to be made, but they always taste fresh and are not overly sweet/heavy. I almost always get a latte (they make these SO well) but ordered a bubble tea drink once and it was good too. I've been here several times and only had a bad experience once (it wasn't even THAT bad: I got over charged and the barista didn't refund the difference, she just said "sorry." But the apology was enough to make me come back again). read more

Cute coffee shop with a unique atmosphere. Love stopping in whenever we're downtown.

The baristas were kind and very knowledgeable. They helped a novice make great choices. The food was good and the coffee better. The atmosphere was very laid back and comfy which is important when the person you're meeting is late. It was a very nice oasis in a busy day. I will be back and would come daily if I lived closer. read more

As you step into Cafe Rhema you swear you've stepped back into the roaring 20's. From the furniture to the music to the staff in costume this place is a must experience.
