    Stella wanted to go here and check them out. They are a James Beard award recipient and it was well earned. Stella ordered a Mango Cheesecake which was light and creamy. Absolutely delicious! I asked for a Savory Torte, also amazing. Drinks were a latte and a hot chocolate. A very nice setting for decadent treats. There are seats inside and out. A lovely place to go.

    Decided to check out their new location. I would frequent the midtown location when I lived in the area. This location has a nice vibe with a cool setup. If you like modern patisserie it's worth checking out.

    Delicious & beautiful pastries on Detroit's east side. Great way to spend a couple of hours exploring the grounds.

    Nice desserts and attractive surrounding. Menu is limited and they have coffee and tea. Everything is high quality. Seasonal Tart was 11 dollars, 4 for a cookie.

    OMG this place is the best!! Today I had their rhubarb pastry which has crispy layers of flaky pastry yet it had a delicious chewy marzipan custard and the perfect amount of rhubarb filling. Oh their fresh ground coffee is amazing. My husband thoroughly enjoyed their LBD dessert. It was the best cake he or I ever had. Please visit this patisserie, it's cheaper than flying to Paris and just as delicious right here in Detroit!!!

    The pastries are absolutely exquisite, and the coffee's just as lovely. It's within walking distance from where I live, so I thought I'd pop over and work from Warda's instead of home for a change. But it turns out they have a no-laptop policy, no Wi-Fi either! The barista kindly pointed out the little sign taped near the register that I'd completely missed.

    Shakshouka pastry, quiche and cookies.

    What a cool space! Classic old farmhouse converted as part of the whole "Shepherd" project. In short, a place to spend an hour or two when exploring Detroit. Warda's second location is clean and organized with quick service and a simple display of unique pastries, sweets and quiche. Standard coffee options and a couple fun lattes. I had the baklava latte and quiche. Both excellent. Kids enjoyed the cookies immensely.

From their cakes and cookies, to their parfaits and macaroons, everything just hits. On a most recent visit, I tried their biscoff parfait and it was a show stopper. 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!

    Stopped into For the Love of Sugar after dinner and tried the seasonal s'mores cake and an iced…read morematcha latte. Service was friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which I appreciated. 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.

They just opened their Tech Center upstairs that has computers and Internet. I think there's also after school programs for children, there's help for seniors and low income people to get help navigating the various programs or grants that may be available to them. Even if, you don't need laundry, internet/computer access or help with navigating the various programs to help with property taxes, etc. just come in and grab a coffee and a snack.

Doesn't help that you haven't gotten your caffeine fix yet either but have no fear, this delightful coffee shop, laundromat, and community space combo has got you covered! All drinks are $4 or less so you can get a delicious espresso, latte, mocha, chai, tea, cold brew, or iced tea without having to break the bank.
