    The vibe of Red Hook in indian village is unmatched. the cute outdoor patio with an art gallery across the street gives you everything you need to be the main character. the staff is super amazing and they're all friendly adding to the experience. The coffee was great, not too acidic and bitter and rather smooth. Their pastries are beautiful and are a pretty decent bite.

    This spot is so cute! It has a charmping, hipster vibe. I tried the vanilla oatmilk latte which was creamy and sweet. The brown sugar sea salt latte was a lot sweeter than I prefer. We tried an asiago basil popover and oatmeal cream pie. Both pastries were delcious and tasted fresh. They have limited seating area.

    Cute coffee/baked goods shop in Indian Village neighborhood! This place checks all the boxes for me. Single origin beans pour overs and delightful baked yummies? I'm there!! Mushroom savory hand pie: so good! Sort of like Thanksgiving stuffing flavor in a flaky pastry! Warm it up in a toaster oven to make it a hot pocket! Zucchini chocolate bread: zucchini thankfully isn't a dominant flavor here. Deep chocolatey goodness! Berry crumble: like a hand portable berry/cake! So good with coffee! I also got one of their ethiopian single origin pour over coffee which was delightful. Currently it's only walk up due to COVID but it looks pretty cute on the inside.

    We've enjoyed visiting Red Hook Ferndale since moving to the area in 2014, so we were thrilled to learn that they moved into the former Great Lakes Coffee in midtown. The space is large and they've done a terrific job with the space-ample room between tables, cool vintage objects and plants create a comfy, welcoming environment. The staff are so kind and welcoming! Coffee and baked goods are of the quality we expect and there are gluten-free and vegan pastry options.

    This is a must visit place in Mid-town. It has so much potential to be a really good local hangout. I loved the vibe and it's just a cool place. They serve coffee, tea and some food items. One recommendation is to add Skinny Syrup or Sugar-free syrup for non-sugar people. Perhaps Stevia packets could be added. Other than that I loved it!

    This is the coffee baked goods bar where your order is taken, prepped, and served.

    This is a hidden gem in an area of the city that has incredible potential to become a very cool district. They are a true coffee house. Their coffee is low acidity and not bitter. This place does coffee the way coffee should be done. Adding anything to a latte from Red Hook is like adding ketchup to a filet; It requires nothing other than consumption and appreciation. The staff is always kind and professional. The seating area is an awesome blend of original mid century construction with some modern clean-up. I would absolutely encourage everyone to check out the Red Hook.

    Red Hook was a great spot to get to-go coffee! Though it's walk up only and cashless, the cafe au lait I ordered was absolutely delicious and the staff was fast and fantastic! The neighborhood is super cute as well, and can't wait to be back once open normally again!

    Enviroment, drinks and staffs are combined pefectly. I took 30 mins to come here, but it's truly worthy. I'll be back . 5 Stars

    Ethiopian Mundos pour over

    The staff is very friendly here. I tried their bacon, egg + cheese biscuit and it was really good! Their pour over is also nice. What I liked the most is their chai. I had a hot chai w- oat milk and it's the best chai I've had in awhile. Would recommend!

    Charming coffee shop located on a quiet street filled with beautiful art both inside and out (large floral mural across the street and beautiful bird paintings on the ceiling of The Red Hook). Where? Located in the Indian Village neighborhood. My recent visit to The Red Hook also marked my first time trying Golden Milk (which was delightful). The space has the custom cozy coffee shop vibe minus comfortable seating. Maybe that's so folks don't stick around too long? I really enjoyed the playlist during our visit and noticed that they stayed fairly busy the whole time we were there.

    Today was my first visit to Red Hook and I would absolutely return. The shop is tucked away in a cute residential neighborhood of Detroit so you don't have to worry about struggling to find parking like you would at some of the other shops around the city. Parking is free in the back and there's also street parking available. The shop is small and intimate with a lot of single person tables. I wouldn't recommend coming here to spread out with books or work to do but you could definitely get some laptop work done. I typically drink vanilla lattes with some sort of milk substitute. Although they don't offer vanilla flavoring at this shop they did have Lavender flavoring and there were quite a few choices for milk substitutes: almond, soy and coconut. I've never tried lavender in my latte but the staff highly recommended it and I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it. I also tried the chocolate zucchini bread and really enjoyed that as well. I think it's important to note that this shop offers plenty of vegan options!

She's super friendly and very tapped into what's happening in the city. An unexpected surprise is that I've learned a whole lot about coffee. She lets me ask all kinds of dumb questions and never made me feel like I was bugging her. It's kind of turned me into a coffee snob though lol. I've learned what it means to appreciate coffee from thoughtful roasters brewed by someone who knows what they're doing. In terms of the vibe, I like the mix of people. A lot of other joints only cater to "New Detroiters." There's a lot of that's here too, but you'll also see a lot of people from the neighborhood (Eastern Market), Saavy Chic's long-time clients (the boutique Cairo is in), local artists, corporate dudes, etc. In a city that often feels super disconnected, it's nice to see so many different types of Detroiters here. Detroit is changing so fast, and there's new places opening all the time. The result of all that newness can distract from nailing down which are the cool joints and which are quality. Cairo Coffee is both.

Also, I wouldn't recommend working out of here, as the music can be pretty loud, but it's absolutely a great place to come and hang out with friends.

It was hard for me to enjoy my Matilda chocolate cake (though I managed) knowing that I had more biscoff parfait to eat. They do coffee and other assorted beverages as well, but those are just support for the real stars of the show here, their desserts. I cannot say one bad thing I have had here (though a friend of mine says their cinnamon rolls were underwhelming). OVERALL - a great ending to an evening, or a destination unto itself. Get some, now!

The cake looked great and had the graham (I might have imagined it), marshmallow, and chocolate flavor elements in each bite, but it ran a bit dry and sweeter than I prefer. I'm in the "less sugar is more" minority, so most people might be fine with it. I guess I should have expected it given the name. The iced matcha latte used decent matcha and tasted light and pleasant, no grit. Inside, it is all pastels and cake themed accents, with the general vibe of "yeah, there are macarons here." The real plus is being near Little Caesars Arena in the newer development area, which makes it convenient for grabbing a treat and a drink while downtown.

Fragrant, festive and fastidious. It was a bright light that woke me up in a way only summer light is able to do. Angels are blinding, I hope Mary can still see because she took a peak in my heart to deliver the best experience. 10/10 will be back Side note I really don't get poutine for breakfast but I appreciate people sticking with brand.
