    If you get anything, you have to get the breakfast sandwich. It is perfection. It has two buttery flaky biscuits with the softest scrambled eggs. The goat cheese and aioli make it so creamy and flavorful. They have few vegan friendly options in their menu. The space inside is large and open with such a cool vibe.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    Found a delicious vanilla latte; plus the dirty chai was super strong and had a unique spiced flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was excellent, soft but with crispy edges, just like I like it, and the yummy chocolate bites mmm so sweet. The eggy breakfast sandwich was perfect on a fluffy savory biscuit. It had an interesting cream cheese spread mixed in making the eggs nice and creamy and the pickle slices made for a nice surprise. I do wish we got a bit more of the side salad because I enjoy my greens! The neighborhood doesn't seem like the safest, but it was still great to stop by this chill spot by chance during our visit to Detroit!

    a plate of food and a cup of coffee

    This is probably my favorite coffee shop in Detroit. They're in a great location, right next to Eastern market, so it's a solid place to go to over the weekend while strolling the market. They're also a great place to work from, as there's plenty of space and it's not too loud. I love the dirty chai, but I think the main standout is the food. They have a great selection of pastries and sandwiches that I think are far superior to what you find in most coffee shops. They're also connected to a plant and vinyl shop, and I haven't been, but it looks like they do local music shows as well. They also have really interesting and fun dishware. The vibes are more industrial and it's a huge space, so I really like the setup. The staff is super friendly. The only callout I would make is to be sure to look up the hours before going because they are closed or hosting events sometimes.

    Trinosophes / Warda Pâtisserie has some of the best buttermilk biscuits and breakfast sandwiches in town. Named one of the country's best new restaurants by Bon Appétit in 2019, Trinosophes is located across from Eastern Market and has ample parking for customers across the back entrance of the restaurant. From the food to the décor, Trinosophes proves that less is more. The dining area is simply decorated with plants and minimalist furniture, giving a bright and spacious feeling. Sometimes the most delectable meals are the simplest with high-quality ingredients. For brunch, I ordered a glass of 100% Traverse City cherry juice and a vegetarian breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, white cheddar, garlic aioli, and pickle. For non-Michiganders, Traverse City produces the best cherries in the state and is known for its cherry festival every summer. My breakfast sandwich tasted freshly made from homemade ingredients. The buttermilk biscuit was to die for - very fluffy, buttery, and soft - not hard and crumbly like the biscuits that are typically found at other cafés and restaurants. I don't think I can go back to eating other breakfast biscuits again. Pickles aren't typically found in breakfast sandwiches, but it went surprisingly well with the garlic aioli and the runny egg yolk. My sandwich was the definition of gourmet breakfast food. I'm not into pastries, but what was left looked tasty. I recommend visiting as early in the morning as possible for pastries because they run out quickly. Almost everything was gone when I arrived in the afternoon. I will be returning for the biscuits and to try other menu items. Definitely one of the best new restaurants in Detroit and a must-visit for its drinks, food, and pastries.

    In general I think perfect is boring but Trinosophes is perfect yet not boring. It's as close to a French cafe as Detroit gets. It's quiet so shhh when you come here. The vibe is low key chill zen. Need a moment of peace? Come here. Get a butter biscuit and a cup of tea or try the cherry juice. It's all good. There are no bad choices. Come experience Trinosophes. If you like big meaty American breakfasts don't come here. You won't like

    Great Lakes Plate

    Trinosophes is great coffee shop/eatery/community and performance space in Eastern Market. It's large and airy and makes working solo, dining with friends, or working on group projects a breeze. It's perfect for every scenario, really. There are several large and communal tables for big groups and smaller table tops for solo diners. The menu is great and features several breakfast options with items ranging from breakfast sandwiches (vegan friendly) and crepes, to lunch served until 2pm featuring items like several salads, a lamb patty melt, tempeh reuben, and more. On my last visit, I had the Great Lakes Plate which consisted of a smoked fish salad, soft-boiled farm egg, pickle of the moment, and Avalon toast (gluten-free nut bread also available upon request). It was delicious. The salad was not mayo based so it was light and fresh and the egg was cooked to a perfect soft-boil. From 2-5 they have a very limited segment of the menu available as well as several baked goods and such available throughout the day for light snacks as well. Yesterday I had a lemon bar and it was so so good! I also had an iced coffee and high fives to them for having simple syrup and Calder dairy cream to mix in. In general, their coffee is prepared in a pour over style so it takes a little longer to get. That means I wouldn't recommend popping in here if you're in a hurry. But this is not the place for that in general. This is a place for socializing, relaxing, and enjoying the day. Creativity and the arts are a focus here and they also host regular special events like art shows, live music, etc. Check their board in the cafe or their website for a list of upcoming fêtes. Also next door is People's Records, so it's easy to pop in and grab a new record and support another great Detroit business at the same time.

    Sablé cookies and a lemon mascarpone tart - so beautiful!
    Yang L.

    Oh my. I'm giving them 5 stars for the breakfast sandwich alone. Maybe it was partially me being ravenous after knocking out another 24-hour shift at the hospital, but I wish I could transport myself back in time to when I took my first bite of the breakfast sandwich. Their biscuits are AMAZING and are the perfect foundation for a buttery, savory, delicious sandwich with a hint of garlic on the tip of your tongue via their aioli. I do wish I had been around to try their full-on food menu. It appears as though they have moved away from that at this time - their menu centers around the breakfast sandwich, some simpler fare and some fresh baked savory goods that I resolve to try soon! I've posted a current menu as it looks like a few of them were out of date. The space itself is very open - cozy seating and tables abound and make it an ideal place for a meeting, brainstorm session or even just a quiet cafe atmosphere to relax. There are a multitude of book cases with books that one can pluck and read while present, and tucked in their far corner was a stage complete with numerous instruments. Currently, they also house Warda Pâtisserie, a burgeoning Algerian influenced pastry shop that is both seasonal and incredibly creative, drawing on its influences from the owner's travels. Staples that I bought were the sablé cookies as well as a lemon mascarpone tart, all of which were delicious. They're incredibly elegant and beautiful and would make for a unique gift too! Plus they do online orders for larger cakes/tarts to serve bigger parties. There's so much to love about this place. I'll definitely be back.

Once we sat down, our server had waters at our table already and was quick to come take our drink orders. My friend ordered the very berry Bellini and loved it, so she ordered a second one. She gave it a 10/10. My other friend ordered a breakfast margarita - she gave it an 8/10. For food, we ordered the traditional meal with red velvet pancakes. She rated it a 9/10. My friend ordered house made corned beef hash with eggs, & cheese grits (gave it a 9/10) the grits needed some salt & pepper; and a Cinnabunn pancake (we give that a 12/10). The pancake was fire!!! I tasted a piece and wanted to order my own. My other friend ordered the crème brule chicken & waffles - she gave it a 9/10. I ordered an egg white omelet with turkey sausage, chicken, spinach & bell peppers. It was good but a little too runny for my liking. It came with fruit and whole wheat bread. I asked for strawberry jam and they brought me a homemade strawberry sauce that was soooo good! I give my meal an 7.5/10. Overall, the place is cute and pretty spacious with lots of seating.

The salmon Croquettes were thick, the French Toast was sliced thick and fluffy, the corned beef hash had a crunchy bite to it and our eggs were made perfectly. We barely had any leftovers after sharing among 4 people. We felt like the portions and flavors fit the prices!

    Of course, I arrived ridiculously early for our reservation since I always worry about parking. I…read moreparked farther away just to be assured of a spot. I need not have worried; there was parking closer by. Oh well. The restaurant is tiny. And it maximizes the space by lining its walls with colorful bottles of wine, chic and cher containers of olive oil, and pots of artisanal honey hiding here and there. My friend pointed out the breathtakingly beautiful bouquet of dried flowers hanging over our table. I should have taken a photo when I had the chance. I started with the spiced brown sugar latte, made with oat milk. Delicious and sweeter than I thought. Even though the menu is small and curated, I could not decide between the nosh plate, the biscuit brekkie, or the quiche, which was the special of the day. So I ended up with the quiche but added the biscuit and bacon - I did not want to miss out. The crust of the quiche was fine, but the custard-like filling was divine, more like a savory crème brûlée or flan. Service was quick and efficient. Our reservation was made for one of the predefined 90-minute blocks, so the staff was on top of getting and delivering our meals and bussing tables as soon as they emptied to make room for the next group of guests.

    1st Shout out to Yelp, I read reviews b4 going to a restaurant. In this case I learned gratuity…read moreis included. I would have missed that Now... I was searching for a Restaurant that Truly supports a GF person So many say they are yet ( pre read their menus and nada) This was a test visit for guests that ARE ABSOLUTELY GF. I called for a Reservation. Oops no same day Res, yet I was told there was one Res left for 12:30 ( if We didn't make it the wait would NOT be long. We were a bit late yet our table was waiting for Us... This is a cozy scratch kitchen restaurant with a Greenwich Village vibe. Table seating for 16 bar seating for 3 Yet it didn't feel crowded. We were asked if it was our 1st time? Yes. Menu was fully explained and even b4 I could ask I was told what was always prepared GF and for other dishes what could be substituted...I purposely chose the GF waffles. May I say AWESOME. I had 1 suggestion....add the Tart cherry crafted jam that came with my husband's biscuit as an additional add on with the syrup. with the waffles I blended syrup and jam and. Then my Latte. I asked for a Hot cup. It was creamy smooth. If You can't have dairy ( and they asked) there's options. I signed up for the Rewards program and already have points and my next visit is already reserved.
