I was in the area and had Shibam Coffee bookmarked and was finally able to stop in…read more When you walk in, you immediately notice the decor. It's very nicely decorated with plenty of seating. I ordered an iced pistachio latte with oatmilk, was given a pager for when my order was ready, which my drink was ready within 5 minutes. The drink was served similarly to how an iced caramel macchiato would be (syrup/flavor on the bottom, milk and shots on top). So when I took my first sip, I was just hit with espresso... I mixed the drink around to incorporate all the flavors. I was happy that they didn't use pistachio syrup which tastes too artificial for me and they used a paste instead. The drink was pretty good overall. Glad I was able to stop by.

You could tell it was made with care rather than just rushed out. The owner even walked me through a few menu options without making me feel rushed, even though I was the one in a hurry! The whole spot has such a warm, welcoming vibe, and everything smells and tastes fresh. I'll definitely be back to try that Redbull-infused Refresher and grab one of those pastries next time. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Perfect stop whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or want to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. 5 stars!

Quality coffee shop right off Schaefer in Dearborn. I tried the jubani coffee which was delicious…read more Jubani is a light roast coffee with cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon giving it a nice rich flavor and the ginger leaving an everlasting taste on your tongue. I opted for a small pot of coffee dining in instead of a cup. I was pretty happy with the amount of coffee and the quality of the experience. Good amount of seating for a small coffee shop, it wasn't very busy but the service the fast. It was very relaxing and refreshing. I even decided to get some dark roast for my French press at home and that coffee has been phenomenal!

The building is an actual old church that has been restored into this unique coffee shop/restaurant. There's indoor and outdoor seating and pretty accents such as stained glass window over the front door. You order at the counter and then seat yourself as in most coffee places. The staff was friendly. The main minus for me is the lack of GF options. The menu did say you can make items GF, but when I asked, it turned out the only GF thing they had to substitute is a bun. I ended up getting the overnight oats from the fridge and they were actually quite good. My latte with almond milk was quality stuff. My friends ordered a few things with somewhat mixed reviews. The quiche got a thumbs up. The pesto egg sandwich was just ok. Overall this was a hit. I'd definitely come back.

I got the strawberry shortcake matcha and it was delicious! I could taste not only the strawberry,…read morebut the shortcake as well. A lot of their drinks are a tad on the pricier side, but I thought it was worth it. They have a case of milk cakes that I really need to try the next time I'm back. My friend had the banana matcha which she really liked. She also had the honeycomb bread. I had a bite and it was a really nice balance between light bread, creamy cheese, and a drizzle of honey. The service was quick. You can either order at the counter or at a tablet on the wall. There is plenty of seating with beautiful lighting and decor throughout. There are outlets and WiFi if you want to do work here.

Stopped here to grab a quick coffee/tea after a not-so-great experience at a nearby Turkish spot,…read moreand this place instantly caught our attention. The line was overflowing all the way to the entrance--always a good sign. On a quick glance, I loved the ambience. It has that cozy Mediterranean coffee-house vibe that feels warm and inviting. My friend tried to check if there were any tables inside, but it was completely packed. Not sure if it's newly opened or just that popular, but for a Friday evening around 8:30 pm, the crowd said it all. I'll give it 3 stars for now since I couldn't really sit and enjoy the experience, but I'll definitely revisit and bump it up or down after my next visit

This is a quaint little coffee shop tucked away on the corner of Michigan and Vermont. I was…read moregreeted when I walked in to a surprisingly empty coffee shop. The walls were adorned with antique signs reminiscent of Detroit culture. I peered in the pastry case to see it filled with a fresh selection of the normal coffee shop staples. After looking at their seasonal offering on a card near the register, I decided to stick with a classic iced vanilla bourbon latte paired with a ham and cheese croissant and raspberry danish. The coffee was good, not overwhelmingly sweet and well roasted. The croissant was delightful. The danish was flaky and delicious and the jam inside was smooth but flavorful (I usually like the kind with seeds). Overall, this is a cute spot with good food and drink. I think it could be improved by a larger menu and more proactive cleaning (but not updating - the antique charm is beautiful).

I'd been hearing about Alba's breakfast sandwich for awhile and finally got to try it out recently…read more Nate and I arrived around 10 on a Sunday morning and there was a line out the door! It's a small space so plan ahead. We weren't in a rush, but it did take a bit of time to get through the line. I ordered two egg sandwiches and a couple coffees. They had limited seating open inside so we took our stuff to go and sat in the park by Michigan Central Station, which was lovely. The sandwich was delicious, with a custardy egg patty and chopped chives. The whole sandwich was a bit soft in texture so I wish they had the addition of some crispy bacon or something. It was very tasty though! My iced americano was very smooth and bright. I will say that the service was not super friendly, but that could just be a millennial observation. Nothing that would keep me from visiting again. They had an assortment of pastries that looked delicious so I'd try some of those next time.
