    Vanilla Bean Latte with Oatmilk
    Kai L.

    I always passed by this spot on my way downtown, curious but unsure of what it was. I finally decided to stop in, and it turns out to be a nice, laid-back coffee cafe. I could definitely see myself bringing my laptop in and working here--it's got a great vibe. It is clear that they take great care and attention to making the coffee and ensuring everything is prepared with quality in mind. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. I'll definitely be back to try more!

    Cute seating with outlets
    Marjan M.

    Stopped by this spot during my visit to Detroit because I was looking for a place to get some work done. This place is perfect because they have outlets, free wifi, and a good amount of working space. Drink 4/5 Ordered an iced vanilla latte with whole milk and easy ice. It was good but not mind blowing. Ambiance and parking 5/5 Loved the ambiance with all kinds of seating, a clean bathroom, and lovely music. They have a front door and a back door so you can either park in the back alley or by the front of the coffee shop on the street. Price 5/5 I'd say $6.50 for an iced latte is average nowadays and that was one of the more expensive drinks they have. Service 4/5 The cashier and barista were polite and helpful but not overly friendly. Overall I'd definitely stop by if I visit Detroit in the future and am in the area!

    Vanilla bean latte

    Amazing coffee shop near Eastern Market. It has a great atmosphere that makes it a nice spot to socialize. I enjoyed the vanilla bean latte and dem latte. They were sweet without being overly sweet. They also have breakfast burritos and few pastry options.

    Too Good To Go listing
    Brandi B.

    Picked up a Too Good To Go bag and was disappointed at the lack of value. The bag's contents were supposed to be $12 worth of goods soon to be tossed. In the bag was a single croissant. The croissant was delicious but too close to full price for something that was going to be thrown away. If you're unable to honor the TGTG value, cancel the order well before pick up or lower the amount of bags you list.

    Seating and atmosphere

    The service was quick and kind, very attentive staff and personable people! Nice little outdoor area to sit as well. Stopped by after church at St. Joes, within walking distance. Got the vanilla lattes (both hot and iced) and the roast was pleasant.

    Cappuccino

    One of my fav coffee places in the Eastern Market area. Great place to get some work done while you enjoy great coffee. They play great music and the shop is roomy with comfortable seating. The woman who runs the register (may be the owner?) is very personable and kind. Same with the guy who makes the drinks. They have great pastries and sometimes breakfast burritos. Indoor and outdoor seating!

    Coffee cake

    La Ventana has only been open for a month or so but they were already super busy. It is right across from the Eastern Market and on an up and coming strip. The area is honestly really cool and there is street parking. There are tables outside and plenty of seating inside including an elevated space that has stadium-style benches. The matcha latte is super good and the coffee cake was good too but I got a very small slice for $6. It is too pricey to frequent, but a great spot for doing work. The music would be a little too loud to have meetings online even with headphones but overall not too loud in there. There aren't many pastries, there was only the cake and a cookie at the time but I think they focus on being minimalistic. It is super well decorated and modern. It looked like they also serve cans of beer which I thought was cool.

    quiche lorraine & flat white
    Audrey E.

    a lovely, modern, and bright cafe. the workers were super nice. i ordered a flat white and a quiche lorraine. this cafe is definitely on the pricier side, but it's worth a visit! plenty of seating as well. we went on a saturday late morning, and there was even a dj playing (what id describe as) soft techno. the flat white was super delicious and the latte art was awesome. the quiche was definitely bigger than expected but not complaining at all! i especially liked the sharpness of the cheese -- and there was no soggy bottom either. definitely recommend. we went out of our way to stop by and it was so worth it!

    Coffee was fine, but the owner was rude and passive aggressive. Wouldn't choose to come back here again.

    This is the Coffee shop vibe you are looking for. I was able to come in and log into work as I ate…read moreand it was very chill. So there is street parking so keep that in mind. It is in front of a building that has a lot of other storefronts...but if you park anywhere on that block of Michigan Ave you will be within walking distance. They thrive in coffee and pastries but they do have a really good egg sandwich as well. They are super nice and friendly and will walk your food to your table. It's not a large shop so it may be crowded depending on what time you go. There is a countertop that seats 4, a long table ther seats about 10, and a few 2 top tables. If you have a large group this may not be for you. Alba egg sandie - this was an excellent sandwich. I wish it had sausage or bacon on it but regardless it's great. It's light and fluffy as well as airy and savory. It comes with the aioli/chive and this is what sets it off. But the egg is thick and the perfect size to boot.

    Loveeee a quaint coffee shop! This place was super warm upon entry with a nice greeting from staff!…read moreThere was lots of different art displayed which made the place feel more inviting. A great selection of coffee and pastries! Food options as well. When I'm back in Detroit I will be coming back here! Drink: -Black Sesame Carmel Latte with oat milk. This is my favorite latte and I was so excited when I saw it on their menu!! The BEST one i've had thus far!!!

    Was staying in Greektown in downtown Detroit for a wedding, and the hotel receptionist highly…read morerecommended this local bakery to check out. Monroe Street that it's located off of is under heavy construction currently so it may be a bit treacherous navigating the sidewalk outside, but the pastry shop remains open and continued to enjoy heavy foot traffic during the hour I was inside. The staff members are friendly and recommended the baklava as their most popular pastry, so I ordered one dipped with chocolate and pistachio, along with an iced latte. They had about five small tables along the wall for you to sit and eat at, but the benches are wooden and not the most comfortable for use as a study spot. My coffee was nothing to write home about, but the baklava was flaky and very sweet, definitely one of the best I've tried. They had a huge variety of other pastries too, and if they all taste as good as they look, would be worth checking out too.

    I went with my friend here for a birthday dessert celebration. He loves carrot cake and red velvet…read morecake so we grabbed a slice of both. The carrot cake looked delightful but the slice of red velvet looked a little dull. When it was time to indulge we started with the red velvet slice and discovered it was a waste of calories if you're a red velvet fan - the cake was dry and the cream cheese icing was anticlimactic. On the other hand the carrot cake was amazing - super moist and got a 2 thumbs up. In addition I will say the staff was very friendly and patient especially with our loads of questions. I will go back but the red velvet will not be purchased again. Also I love the overall look and feel of this bakery but do wish it had more seating.
