    Almond croissant, brown sugar shaken espresso w/ oatmilk
    Holly M.

    This is a really chill location with a very minimalist design. It seems it took a while for the location to get up and running (I saw the coming soon sign for a while driving past) and you can tell they really tried to curate the location to be a relaxing, work-friendly environment. Just as a note - if you're coming here to work for a few hours, not every seat has outlets. For example, the round booth seating didn't look to have any. I came in at ~10am-ish and they didn't seem to be suuuppperrr busy. There was still a ton of seating available. The outside patio also looked clean and taken care of, which I think is nice since some places will neglect the patio seating. I ordered an almond croissant and an iced brown sugar shaken espresso with oat milk. I can say the espresso was definitely strooooonnngggg, which I admittedly liked a lot. Some coffee shops really overload their drinks with sugar and it didn't really seem that they did that. I also couldn't tell for sure and I forgot to ask, but it looked like they made house syrups, which I think is great because I really hate paying for a latte that just uses Torani or Monin syrups, which is something I can just make at home. The menu was also pretty expansive and offered some Yemeni coffee options which I think is unique to this Ferndale area and offers something you'd have to drive 15-20 minutes for depending on where you live. I definitely suggest this location if you're in the area!

    Biscoff Cheesecake
    David S.

    First place that we had our eyes on when going through Ferndale, and unfortunately the last place we went to. I say unfortunately because I always like to save the best for last, and I truly thought this would be it, but it's not. It's still good though. The service was quite nice, telling me updates on my order every second they got. I felt like we were being watched so I moved tables to the corner, and first locked into my Pistachio Caramel Cake, sorry if I butchered the name. It was easily the best thing we ordered, I loved the crumbly, melting sensation of the cake itself and the light delicious frosting. I say light because I truly think cake doesn't need that much sweetness to be great, I have a pet peeve for overly sweet frosting on cakes. Which brings me to the Biscoff Cheesecake, which is the most sugar-rotted cake I have tried in a minute. I felt physically ill after eating this, I felt like I was in a sugar coma. Easy on the calories, please! It took a while for my White Chocolate Matcha Latte, which was packed with zero sugar chocolate and barely any matcha. I didn't appreciate the loose powder on top of the ice, which I usually like, but on ice? Really? The ratio of tastes doesn't expand into anything I've tried here. Too sweet, too bland. Too little, too much. So overall, I can't appreciate much about this place other than its visual appeal and hospitality. 3/5 edit- October 18th 2025 After talking a little bit with owner of the place through Yelp, I actually realized I've made a mistake. The "White Chocolate Matcha" is not actually a white chocolate matcha, it doesn't even exist on the menu. In reality, I got a Pistachio Cream Latte, which in retrospect was in fact the drink that I got from Qahwati that day. My critique of the Latte temporarily cancels out until the next time I go. So for now, to balance out my STUPIDITY, it's a 4/5

    Beautiful treats

    Service was excellent! Our drinks were very good. I had a ginger peach tea and my companion had a cold drink which both were very delicious! They desserts were very delectable i enjoyed the bunny filled dessert while she had a peach treat both were amazing. Would definitely come back again

    The ambiance of this place is beautiful. It feels so calming to sit here and enjoy a coffee. Choosing what drink to order was so difficult as they have so many amazing options. I tried their signature Nomad latte which was sweet and creamy. They also serve a variety of pastries.

    Iced lattes

    The ambiance was great with a variety of seating options. I had the delicious speculatte and my husband had the dulce de leche latte. Our drinks were good, but the cheese danish was stale with a hard crust. Pricing was a little high, but honestly it's probably due to the location.

    This place is absolutely beautiful!! I can't wait to return to sip my coffee and do some work. The cashier was so amazing and friendly she asked how to spell my name. That truly was touching and she corrected the barista when they mispronounced my name. My drink was so good and strong. My daughter got a refresher and she swears she's never going back to Starbucks.

    Dubai Double Chocolate pistachio Frappe & Chocolate pistachio cake.

    The Dubai Double Chocolate Pistachio Frappe was Amazing! So far I don't want anything else because I am Addicted to the taste! Whoever thought Doubld Chocolate and Pistachio mix would taste sooo Good? And the chocolate Pistachio cake to Live for!!!!! soo good I brought hubby the second time anyways whatever he got it wasn't sweet enough so he didn't care for it but the strawberry cheesecake melted in our mouthhhhhh pricey but will be back for a 3rd time. .

    Oh my gosh this place is fantastic! Beautiful space. The ladies that helped me were so kind and helpful. I got the Mirage drink and a cheese danish, both were so good. I'll definitely be back! The Mirage drink was unreal

    Nomad + mirage lattes
    Allyson M.

    This cafe is stunning! Clean, modern interior with a good amount of seating. Beautiful dessert and pastry displays. Smiling face greeted us at the counter. And most importantly, we had two of the best lattes we've ever had! We tried the nomad and the mirage. Not only were they beautiful, but you could tell they had fresh ingredients and were made with care. Drinks do take a little while, as they're busy and they are thoughtfully prepared. They have several people making them and everyone was focused, so the time seemed fair for what we were getting. We can't wait to go back. Such a good experience!

    Banana Pudding Matcha

    Where do I begin? The customer service? The atmosphere? No, I'll start with the drinks! Literally everything on the menu is so well thought out and balanced, not overly sweet, not too bitter, but perfectly delicious. I think their prices are fair considering the quality of the drinks and the upscale vibe. The baristas are so friendly and accommodating; they take the time to answer any questions (especially since a lot of the menu items are so unique) The location is enough to rave about, but the buildout is just wow! Every detail was thought out; you just know when you're in a well-designed space and this is one! I highly recommend giving this place a try! The Mirage latte (hot or iced) is such an incredible experience, and their refreshers are so good! Another favorite of mine is the matcha! Specifically the iced strawberry matcha. I'd be remiss to not mention the seasonal menu...I've tried almost everything they put out and they never miss! Currently, both the banana pudding matcha and the strawberry shortcake latte are featured and BOTH are out of this world delicious! If it isn't obvious, I'm a huge fan!

    Big pastries

    Lovely owner and team members. Everyone has you feel welcome, cared about, and intrigued. The drinks are single-handedly made with specialized specific care to pinpoint each flavor profile of each drink. They have lots of selections, and the problem is figuring out which one to order since every single one sounds absolutely delicious. I ordered a Strawberry Shortcake limited edition summer drink, and was pleasantly surprised by the multidimensional nature of the drink (cookie crumbles at the bottom added an unexpected texture!) If it were in LA, I'd come everyday. Lots of natural lighting and a very spacious and relaxed ambiance.

    Wellll, let me tell you. I thought I registered for the event at the Ferndale location, and had…read morebeen looking forward to visiting this bakery... So, I didn't register, but of course I made a purchase well, purchases. I bought 1 oatmeal raisin cookie, 1 chocolate cupcake, 2 Blake's donuts annnnd 1 scoop of butter pecan ice cream in a waffle cone. It was very nice when I walked in, the space was clean, the deliciousness was beautifully displayed. It was good to see so many of Blake's Apple Orchard items for sale here. It was kind of quiet, well after the family (father? and 2 children left) nice place to sit and enjoy your goodies, scroll, etc. When I came on Yelp to write my review, I noticed there's one in Grosse Pointe, MI. Glad to know there's one closer that I can return to visit. Ohh, I almost forgot, the ice cream was Really good, I didn't taste like a diet fail at all. The Blake's donut, well you know... aren't they all good? The cupcake was light and the icing was perfect. Now, let me tell you about their oatmeal raisin cookie (my favorite by the way) Man, was that cookie good. All of the goodies were excellent. Nothing was too sweet or off. I really enjoyed everything purchased. You gotta go!!!

    They won my whole heart with the PUPCAKES!!!! Any time I can bring a treat home for my Rottweiler…read morepuppy, I will!!! We purchased a mix of items to sample two different types of cheesecake, some ini cupcakes cookies and of course the pup cake. My fur baby devoured it. He can be a little picky so that speaks volumes!! We were the only ones in the shop on this super cold, snowy winter day but the service was still impeccable!!
