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.

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).

The vibe feels intimate and tucked away--perfect for catching up with a friend, having a private conversation, or even a little "secret rendezvous" . I ordered the Croque Monsieur and an espresso, and both were absolutely delicious. The Croque Monsieur was rich, flavorful, and satisfying, while the espresso was smooth and perfectly prepared. If you're looking for a place to work, it's great for solo productivity, reading, writing, or answering emails. However, it can get a bit lively and loud, so I wouldn't recommend it for virtual meetings or calls. For focused work without meetings, though, it's a perfect spot. Overall, Cafe Sous Terre offers great food, excellent coffee, and one of the most charming atmospheres in Detroit. I'll definitely be back! Oh and the service epic -

Located near Michigan & Trumbull in Corktown, it's a great spot for both social gatherings or solo visits. The staff is friendly and efficient. The affogato lives up to the hype. Not only does it satisfy a sweet tooth, it's also a nice pick-me-up. The gelato flight is a great option for sharing. $17 may seem steep, but it's cheaper than ordering multiple individual cups. Of the five flavors I've tried, the pistachio is my favorite. Momento also offers baked goods and sorbet. I've had the lemon and raspberry sorbets, and personally prefer the lemon. While the baked goods are outsourced, the croissant I had was delicious. I've also tried the lemonade. It was too sour for my liking, though I'm hoping it was just an off batch. There are also some savory options, like breakfast sandwiches and paninis, I plan on trying one day. In the few times my family and I have been to Momento, we've always left happy. Gelato isn't especially common in the Metro Detroit area, so having a solid spot like this in one of the city's most happening neighborhoods shouldn't be taken for granted.

However, i got an iced vanilla latte while my friend got a cold brew and a bagel. I felt like my iced latte didn't have a strong espresso flavor at all.

I'm not saying I'll never try it again, but with how many coffee shops are around midtown I just won't be racing to get it again.

Open "kitchen" space which is really just the staff heating things in the microwave, toasting the bagel and scooping things out of the tubs. It's bigger than it looks from the outside with a couple different sitting areas spread around. Space to borrow a book, game or puzzle; a larger area for meetings or for a study group and a few seats at the counter by the window. It's pretty dark in the main area so if you have "old" eyes like me, you'll probably have better luck in the bigger space. If you're looking for a quick cuppa, this isn't the spot. Drinks are made to order so it takes a min and I'm not sure if the staff (for food prep) is fully trained and/or just REALLY new because that area seemed like it was struggling. Not an issue, just be prepared if you're in a hurry.
