    Got the avo toast, it was pretty good! Although a little salty but I'm just used to not having salt in my food. The coffee was not bad either. Just made a quick stop on my way to the border. I would probably come back again if I'm ever around the area. There's lots of seating inside and it's nice and quiet to study.

    I had their matcha latte and chicken sandwich. Both the matcha and the sandwich were pretty good, the inside is also very nicely decorated and it is kept clean. The staff were very helpful and kind.

    Cold December Saturday morning in Detroit, here for work. I am in love with this café. The sandwich was AMAzinnngg, I'm super picky but I eat all things delish ... Order the Egg Pastrami (mine was on sourdough), everything was so fresh and just went together! Then I ordered the cookie butter latte. YUummy . Everyone was super Dope and friendly, provided quality suggestions. I enjoyed that they have free Qurans (English and Spanish), adding it to my spiritual collection. It's pretty busy but a nice amount of sitting, just get there!

    The midtown location has made no efforts to keep the alley next to it free from customer parking. This alley provides the only access for 60 residents next door to enter their garage. Do better Kitab.

    It was my first time Kitab and I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with ample seating for dining or work. It gives off neighborhood coffee shop vibes, but a bit bigger. I grabbed an iced matcha and the Caniff sandwich. My matcha was tasty and refreshing and was served up quickly. The Caniff was the real show stopper though. The pesto in it is banging. Next time I'm around I'll try something else maybe, but I could see myself being drawn back to that one. Highly recommend Kitab.

    Oct 2024: Oat milk draft latte - $6.50 Gallagher sandwich (no cheese) on everything bagel $11
    Anna V.

    I always come for the oat milk draft latte - always yummy, so smooth and sweet enough to not need additional sugar! Service is fast, I wish they called by name though as they are so busy and people order the same drinks. Today was my first time grabbing a sandwich, the Gallagher with halal turkey and veggies on an everything bagel. Quite good, and made for a nice quick lunch together with the coffee. Decent amount of seating with tables, but usually full of students and folks camped out with laptops. Small lot parking but plenty of street parking around the corners - pay with the Detroit Parking app!

    Awesome owners, great coffee . Would definitely recommend checking this new place out.

    cookie butter latte

    This cafe is very cute, they offer a lot of options and a lot of unique drinks. I got the cookie butter latte and it was very rich and flavorful. It was a bit hard to find seating in the cafe and it can get a bit loud in here. The service was quick and they offer free parking outside too.

    Stopped by Kitab Cafe after hearing about it on Instagram. We ordered the iced chai latte and the brown sugar oat milk latte--both were delicious and perfectly sweetened. I loved how the cafe blended modern decor with the rustic charm of the city. It was bustling, so we ended up mixing and matching seating in a few different spots. Definitely a must-try cafe!

    My friends and I came here hearing great things from other friends. Super cozy vibes and we luckily found a cute spot to sit and do work (pictured). My friend ordered a Oat Milk Draft Latte and I had a Chai Latte both of which were yummy. The on tap feature was very cool and unique. The service was decent. I didn't get any food or pastries but I would love to come back and try them!

    I was excited to hear when Kitab Cafe opened in Detroit, as I have visited the Hamtramck location. It's located in a very cute area of Detroit with a lot of walkable sites, so I thought it was a great stop to grab a latte to walk around and visit other local businesses. There also a nice selection of books to peruse, and it's a nice interior, but definitely fills up in terms of available seating so you may have to wait for a table if you are looking to enjoy your coffee there.

    Buffalo chicken Aioli sauce
    Sohaib L.

    Very fresh, excellent light sandwich. Perfect for lunch. The place is halal and very nicely decorated on inside. Plenty of seats. The service was excellent as well. I would definitely go back. I think the aioli in buffalo chicken was slightly over powering, loved the spice though and a little too much mayonnaise in the turkey sandwich

    Worst Matcha Latte I've ever had the displeasure of drinking and the staff was not very friendly. Will not be back.

    Homemade syrups made all the difference in what was one of the best iced vanilla lattes I've ever had.

    Great coworking space, but gets busy quick! Fewer books than the Hamtramck location, feels like a more open cafe with lots of space.
