    two coffee mugs on a table

    The dovetail is the perfect third place. A great place with a sense of community, regulars, and an awesome owner. The service varies on what hour you go because it's literally just 1 fella. The interior design alone will keep you occupied and astounded, and the owner has a story for how each little thing came to be. If the art isn't your thing there's literally 100000 different games for you to play at your will. The food and drink are some of the cheapest (positive) and most worthwhile you'll be able to find in this economy. #chaw

    The Almond Latte tasted primarily like almond syrup with very little coffee.

    I wanted to try a new coffee shop that was not the traditional corporate style brands. This place seemed interesting, so I went there to try it. I ordered the Almond Latte, and it was just whatever. The primary flavor was the almond syrup. It really did not have that coffee feel to it. There was also no design at the top that is usually given with lattes. The atmosphere here was pretty cool, but I feel that it has a bad location. There is a lot of art and visuals all over the walls. I feel like this coffee shop would do better in places like Royal Oak or Detroit. The service was good. The cashier was nice and respectful. He was also the one who made the latte.

    Ok, this rating may be mostly because of the decor in this place. It's crazy and beautiful. This coffee shop is on a very busy street and could be missed by everyone. This is a cool hangout to just chill. I recently moved over to this area and found out, you never know what's behind closed doors if you don't check it out. One thing I can say is, most places in non descript areas or hole in the walls are the best places to discover something new, great and exciting. So check this place out, if the art work doesn't get you here maybe the different coffees, teas, and cocoa will make you stop by. For me it's they're made in house chocolate chocolate donuts. Oh yeah they also have live bands playing from time to time. It's a really cool and inexpensive way to impress a first date.

    I come from the local high school (CLHS) and my friends and I were really distraught due to the fact that there's no cool hangout spots are Warren.

I got a sub, a pizza roll, sub buns and cookies. They have muffuletta sandwiches with authentic muffuletta bread they bake there. Looked perfect, and need to go back to try it. Staff was busy, but super helpful and patiently answered my questions. My sub did not make it home as I devoured it inthe car since I couldn't wait.

I was a bit annoyed by the people standing in front of the counter as if that was going to get them called faster. I had to go down the aisle to talk to the lady when my number was called because some dude wouldn't budge. (Not the fault of the business of course). The staff was so nice and gave me suggestions on what to try. The service was excellent. For sandwiches, we tried the Italian and prosciutto. The meats were really good. Unfortunately, the oil and herbs wasn't on my husband's sub, and I think they accidentally put mild peppers instead of hot. 3/5 I learned you come here for the baked goods!!!! I tried the tiramisu, cannoli, and got an old fashioned donut for my hubs. I had a harm time choosing what delectable sweet to take home. The tiramisu was stellar. 5/5 I wish the front had a little less wine and a seating area to have a donut and coffee. It's not that kind of place to sit down and have an espresso, but still a very cool spot. They have an online order option which I'll try next time.

On the way here (after breakfast) I remembered that I *think* this was the place that was spotlighted on the news recently about employing the developmentally disabled who may not be able to work in a more traditional setting. There's tons of open space here with tables and chairs alike. They have coffee, snacks and I think light fare food. The coffee here's pretty good and I was able to get stuff done that I needed too. My only "complaint" was the plugs for computers was no where near a table and somewhat of an inconvenience. More plugs to charge would be great so I don't have to drain my battery to nothing! Overall I love supporting these types of places because it's a super good cause.

    I was in the area and decided to try a new coffee spot. I give them an extra star for the vibes, I…read morelike the outside of the building and the inside is very spacious. When I walked in, a staff member walked toward the 'register', barely spoke when I said "hi, how are you?", and suddenly walked away before I could say my order. Another person walked up to serve me. Maybe the first person was going on break? Either way communication would have been nice. I got a mocha and almond croissant. The latter was so dry and flavorless, I tossed it at the trash can outside the building before I drove away. The mocha just wasn't good: weak coffee flavor and somewhat bitter chocolate flavor. I couldn't finish that either. Looking at the other reviews, maybe they were having a bad day? For me, mediocre experience, much better coffee shops out there.
