I coupled it with a delightful cup of mufawar coffee, which was perfectly blended with spices. I'm here on a Sunday morning and the traffic here is light.

Visited this airy, bright, and unassuming space with a friend the other day for study group. I was…read morehesitant at first for whatever reason, like it felt pompous or something with no signage -- I was pleasantly surprised. The food and drink were delicious. The menu is minimal but mighty. I felt genuinely nourished after a vanilla bean latte, parfait, biscuit (Red Lobster-esque cheddar biscuits) / egg sandwich, and greens salad. The eggs were expertly fluffed how I like them. My friend had the lentil soup along with a tofu scramble on focaccia. We ate it all! The espresso was strong, you get real silverware and clayware/bowls. Wow! I was taken aback. And for what you're getting, the prices aren't all too bad. They could definitely be higher (don't make them higher ) I encourage any coffee shop loiterer, vegan/vegetarian, or city dweller, student, etc -- to try this spot. There are a wide variety of books in the room connected to the dining area, with book shelves filled with zines and art pieces. Also a stage? What goes on in here!? Keep up the amazing work, this is a great addition to my favorites!

I got an iced cardamom chai and it was super yummy! Had the right combination of creaminess and earthiness. The space also connects to People's Records, which is always a treat to visit. One thing I must say is that menu items are a bit limited, but the space is more than enough to keep me coming back.

I've been wanting to try JP since it's opened but finally got a chance to visit today. I'm glad I…read morechecked IG before coming here. We park on a side street and walked over. The store sits facing Woodward Ave. The store isn't very big so seating is also minimal. Definitely more of a take out sort of spot. We ordered the beef bowl- loved the garlic rice. The beef reminded me of bulgogi a bit. There was so much meat, there was a great ratio of meat to rice. Out of all the pastries/drinks we ended up getting, I am a huge fan of the ube latte, mango donut and ube croissant. I'm so glad they're open on Saturdays! Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat that isn't too sweet!

I was in the area so we stopped by to get some goodies. It was so difficult to decide but ended up with: 1) Buko Pandan Cookies 2) Suman Malagkit (Filipino Steamed Rice Cakes) 3) Pan De Sal 4) Ube Basque Cheesecake Everything was KILLER. But I've never had the suman before and it was epically delicious. The nice human working didn't sell it very well by using the adjective "gelatinous" but it's rice flour based and steamed so as you can expect that wonderfuly bouncy chewy texture. I wish I bought 5 more but I was a bit shy given how it was introduced to me. I'm definitely going to be back! Everything was seriously so stellar. Street parking only.

The egg and cheese sandwich was solid, but took a loooong time to come out for some reason. Lots of comfy tables and great service, but could benefit from some music for background noise.

Roomy, cozy, with only a modest number of guests and beautiful music in the background. It was easy to have an hour long conversation here. Mrs. E. ordered and devoured her staple hot chocolate. I started with an iced coffee then came to my senses and had them make me a Turkish coffee (I'm an old fan of the Turkish kava). A phenomenal brew. After sharing a slice of tiramisu cake, we braved the cold and joined the others. We now have a wonderful reason to arrive early to the theatre. 01/26

The atmosphere alone makes you want to stay and enjoy every moment. The gelato itself is incredibly flavorful--each scoop tastes fresh, rich, and thoughtfully crafted. You can really tell they care about quality. What stood out just as much as the dessert was the staff. They were extremely friendly, warm, and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of that, the shop is very clean and well-kept, which always makes a difference. If you're looking for a place with amazing gelato, great vibes, and excellent service, Momento Gelato is definitely worth a visit.

Located near Michigan & Trumbull in Corktown, it's a great spot for both social gatherings or solo visits. The staff is friendly and efficient. The affogato lives up to the hype. Not only does it satisfy a sweet tooth, it's also a nice pick-me-up. The gelato flight is a great option for sharing. $17 may seem steep, but it's cheaper than ordering multiple individual cups. Of the five flavors I've tried, the pistachio is my favorite. Momento also offers baked goods and sorbet. I've had the lemon and raspberry sorbets, and personally prefer the lemon. While the baked goods are outsourced, the croissant I had was delicious. I've also tried the lemonade. It was too sour for my liking, though I'm hoping it was just an off batch. There are also some savory options, like breakfast sandwiches and paninis, I plan on trying one day. In the few times my family and I have been to Momento, we've always left happy. Gelato isn't especially common in the Metro Detroit area, so having a solid spot like this in one of the city's most happening neighborhoods shouldn't be taken for granted.

The latte was delicious, and the loaf was sooo good. It had almost a pound cake-like texture. Dense in the best way, and the perfect amount of sweetness. I ended up grabbing a table to sit at, and enjoyed the ambiance and people around me. I will say it's pretty small in there though -- probably less than 10 tables, so I wouldn't count on getting a seat. Regardless, a great space to grab a coffee or tea and treat to go!

Also, because I'm a simple girl and get the same order usually, most of the baristas remember not only my order but my name which feels so nice. Can't recommend enough!
