It is in front of a building that has a lot of other storefronts...but if you park anywhere on that block of Michigan Ave you will be within walking distance. They thrive in coffee and pastries but they do have a really good egg sandwich as well. They are super nice and friendly and will walk your food to your table. It's not a large shop so it may be crowded depending on what time you go. There is a countertop that seats 4, a long table ther seats about 10, and a few 2 top tables. If you have a large group this may not be for you. Alba egg sandie - this was an excellent sandwich. I wish it had sausage or bacon on it but regardless it's great. It's light and fluffy as well as airy and savory. It comes with the aioli/chive and this is what sets it off. But the egg is thick and the perfect size to boot.

Alba is a popular spot... at least it was on this Sunday morning!!…read more I found street parking relatively easy. The signage from outside is clear. I have to add that I was welcomed whole heartedly as I walked into Alba. There was a line... and it continued to grow. It also moved fairly quickly. They offer their viral egg soufflé breakfast sandwich and a number of other pastries, coffee, latte, hot chocolate, and more. My breakfast sandwich was fresh and delicious. It was a lot. I got full before I finished. This quaint shop is worth a visit! Have you been? What's your favorite menu item?

Must try: Brown Sugar and Maple Iced Latte!…read more Why: Barista recommended me her fav drink so I had to try. Brown Sugar and Maple Iced Latte with Foam - tasted like ice cream! I ended up getting it again the next morning. I also tried a Chocolate Croissant, which was ok but that iced coffee made up for it. Notes: Super friendly barista. There's a table next to cafe I sat at to work on my laptop. They also have comfy chairs in hotel and outdoor seating on side of hotel.

It's located inside the lobby of The Siren Hotel. The decor was definitely special. It's a small area but you can sit wherever there is a spot. There's also a little garden/patio seating outside the hotel if you can't find indoor seating. I got a breakfast sandwich, a cappuccino, and a sweet corn latte. It took longer than expected even though they weren't that busy. Breakfast sandwich was pretty standard. Cappuccino was not good. It was very strong (tasted like two shots) with very little milk. Even though the cup was small, it was less than 3/4 filled. The Sweet Corn Latte is a seasonal drink with two shots of espresso and came with a cute sticky gummy candy on top. I liked the presentation but the drink was sweet, just like the name, but no corn taste. Would not recommend. Perhaps the cold version would've tasted better.

The coffee here is so good. If you're a coffee snob like me, I highly recommend this spot. Im the…read moretype the gets a plain latte for my first drink at new cafe. I was very impressed.

I was here just after they opened (at 6 am!) and enjoyed morning coffee and wifi before heading to the office. I love a coffee shop that has a cortado on the menu. Or a Gibraltar. This tells me that the barista isn't some button pusher but instead of a craft coffee barista who actually has some training. I'm talking to you, Green Siren people. The barista this morning assembled a perfect cortado for me. Half espresso and half steamed (not foamed) milk in a short glass. I love the cortado because it's the same amount of coffee as a big latte but now I won't need to hit the restroom all morning! It was fabulous, delivered to my table as I wrote my morning's Yelp reviews. Dessert Oasis is a little grunge, a little industrial, a little coffee shop. It's not fancy but they have lovely wooden tables, comfortable seating, quiet music and power outlets. If I wasn't heading into the office, I could spend all day sitting here and OD'ing on great coffee. [Review 869 of 2025 - 434 in Michigan - 24426 overall]

Whenever my fianceè and I are visiting in Detroit, Roasting Plant is always a MUST. I will be…read morehonest here: the drinks are a little pricey and so are the loose beans (yes, you can buy loose beans to take home!), but they're always fantastic with their flavors and service. I had a caramel latte (recommended by the friendly staff) and it was worth every penny! I also really enjoy the atmosphere; from a nice little sitting area outside to the beans shooting over your head when you order (go and you'll see what I mean!). I know there are a lot of coffee shops in the Detroit area, but put this one towards the top of your list!

Super hot so it took a bit to cool, but then a strong roast. While the laws of thermodynamics were underway, I was able to watch the flow of customers, observe the "Javabot" that sadly no one used this morning and watch the Detroit traffic circling around Campus Martius. Other than I was not able to get their wifi to work (Detroit has a free wifi as well), it was a good resting spot with quiet background music and it never did get any other sit down customers while I dawdled.

I really enjoyed the banana pudding matcha, I thought it was going to be heavy and rich but it was actually very light and refreshing. One of the reviews mentioned you have to mix the drinks to fully enjoy it and I 100% agree. The mango sticky rice tea is especially not as good without mixing it, but after mixing it is a great drink. Staff were also very friendly and explained their different drinks before ordering. The place is pretty cool too. They did a great job of fixing the place up and making it their own. The cafe is on the second floor but there's a lot of potential for the first floor too. Give this place a try of you're nearby!

Good coffee, latte was well balanced and not super sweet (yay)! Wrap breakfast sandwich was tasty…read more The staff was very friendly. They've got a nice space with two different seating areas, one of which has the coffee roaster. This is a great place to have a chill coffee or snack.

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.

Today, I ordered a toasted everything bagel, and as I attempted to enjoy it at my desk, I found it to be excessively hard and stale. This quality issue reflects a lack of consideration for customers, especially given the current economic climate where prices, such as the $4.25 for the bagel, are already high.
