    la ventana has become my new go-to cafe !!! i absolutely LOVE the atmosphere and the staff is so sweet. i always get an iced chai with vanilla bean syrup 10/10 recommend :)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Coffee cake
    Lindsay L.

    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!

I was here just after they opened (at 6 am!) and enjoyed morning coffee and wifi before heading to the office. I love a coffee shop that has a cortado on the menu. Or a Gibraltar. This tells me that the barista isn't some button pusher but instead of a craft coffee barista who actually has some training. I'm talking to you, Green Siren people. The barista this morning assembled a perfect cortado for me. Half espresso and half steamed (not foamed) milk in a short glass. I love the cortado because it's the same amount of coffee as a big latte but now I won't need to hit the restroom all morning! It was fabulous, delivered to my table as I wrote my morning's Yelp reviews. Dessert Oasis is a little grunge, a little industrial, a little coffee shop. It's not fancy but they have lovely wooden tables, comfortable seating, quiet music and power outlets. If I wasn't heading into the office, I could spend all day sitting here and OD'ing on great coffee. [Review 869 of 2025 - 434 in Michigan - 24426 overall]

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.

    [Out-of-Towner Review]…read more Possibly one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! That's a strong statement, but OH MY was it good! The Alba Egg Sandie is a soufflé egg on a brioche bun with cheddar, chile deârbol aioli, and chive (available until 2pm). The flavor was incredible. My only gripe is how much egg is on there, but I tend to get the egg ick quick. So I'm sure it's a normal size and I am just odd. I was so enamored with the breaky sando, I don't fully remember my thoughts on the coffee. It's an iced latte with soy milk, I think. If not, it's oat milk. Either way, the food stole the show! The interior is a vibe and I really enjoyed it in there. And so did many others, the back was already full with people gathering, studying, or working. The front was empty and full of good vibes. The staff were what I may call eccentric. Not quick to hurry themselves or their customers. They didn't even say my name when my food was ready. Not a big deal, just didn't realize this was their style, since it was my first time. If you're in or near #corktowndetroit, I highly suggest a visit! Don't be silly and stroll right past, stop in!
