    BasBlue Cafe - Chi Fan Le menu items!
    Amanda L.

    BasBlue Cafe is a hidden gem in Detroit! It is open from the moment BasBlue opens (early in the morning) all the way until it closes and serves both breakfast and lunch fare! There is currently an awesome Chi Fan Le residency in the cafe right now, with incredibly delicious Chinese American dishes that rotate as well between breakfast and lunch and everything is FANTASTIC! They also have their own menu of coffee, tea, and other drinks for you to order from, along with their own food menu outside of Chi Fan Le, but I highly recommend ordering off the Chi Fan Le menu while you still can! If you order food and drink, they'll bring the food to whatever table you're sitting at in the cafe's adjoining seating area when it's ready and they bus the items for you as well. The service is incredible, the vibes are high, and it's a glorious place to grab a bite or stay for awhile snacking and coworking as well! I love BasBlue Cafe!

    Delicious food and cute atmosphere. Healthy & delicious options! Service was fine. Would definitely recommend a visit.

    I'm obsessed with this café. Very rarely do I find a café that ticks all of the boxes for me. There is an equal amount of sitting space for those who want to read and relax and for those who want to have a conversation with friends. My iced autumn spice latte was exceptional. Give the size of my drink, I also think this was a fair price (I spent $21 for the sandwich and latte, plus a tip). The baristas were also incredibly kind and helpful and super conversational which made me feel comfortable coming to a place I had never been to before. Speaking of which, I didn't know what the BasBlue foundation was before I came, and after reading about it, I definitely believe I will be coming back again to support an establishment with a great food and coffee and an even better mission.

    Every event in this Yelp series is better than the next, actually they're all super awesome! I appreciate the work Nina and her team from The Love Experience add to each Monday night! The company is also great! I've made a few friends attending these events! I appreciate the hard work you put into making this happen!

    Curried coconut squash soup

    I love this cafe! Busier and louder around lunch rush, but still has loud music playing even after crowd has dissipated. Despite being busy, the service was still quick and friendly from both the servers and the baristas! Very friendly staff willing to answer questions! I had the chai latte, and, this is why I am knocking down a star. I'd recommend getting something else- not my favorite. However, the curried coconut squash soup is incredible!! Tempted to give 5 stars just because of how delicious this is!! Overall I recommend this cafe if you have a bit more money to spend on food and drink, and prefer a friendly, social environment rather than a quiet space Note: this is a woman's club and upstairs is for members only, but you will have enough space downstairs with tables and couches available

    Turkey Melt

    I was very impressed for the minute that we walked in through the well-preserved door. We were greeted at the base of the grand staircase by young lady that directs you to the cafe. This building is a women's Club and the upper floors are for Members only or members and their guests. The cafe is quiet comfortable and definitely a beautiful space. I had the turkey melt and quite honestly I expected a small portioned sandwich with a large price. I was pleasantly surprised by a monstrous, tasty, reasonably priced meal. I know things are a little bit more expensive than they used to be pre-covid, so I won't say that this place is inexpensive however you do get bang for your buck. The staff was pleasant and very informative on the menu choices, there was no rush and it was a very nice experience.

    Chicken and waffles and french toast with the basblue latte
    Munzer R.

    This is probably the best hidden gem in Detroit. Inside of a house in a neighborhood, the whole space has been converted into a cafe and co-working/office space. The cafe has amazing drink and food selections that are as tasty as they are visually aesthetic. I would recommend the french toast and the basblue latte. I am always in awe that the space actually exists and isn't talked about more, but every time I post, I always get friends replying and asking where I am. I would highly recommend coming here for brunch and working out of the cafe. It's a cool place to check out and definitely a unique and historic Detroit spot.

    What an adorable hidden gem! We were riding scooters around and on the search for a great coffee. Yelp pointed us in the right direction! The lattes were on point and the berry danish was warm and delicious. Wish we had a little spot like this closer to home!

    I was early for meetings and spotted Roasting Plant. This is easy. It's a small coffee shop and…read morethey have low top and high top tables. Lets chill here for a while. My cortado was okay. 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. [Review 877 of 2025 - 437 in Michigan - 24434 overall]

    I loved my cardamom rose latte here! Lots of coffee choices…read more A coffee lovers dream! Fast and friendly service and good vibes. Located in a cool, older building in historic downtown Detroit. The location is great, near the town square, Campus Martius. Comfy seating options available but it feels like more of a carry out place. It felt like a narrow space to me because there is a large coffee display in the middle. It looks really cool but makes the space feel smaller to me. I'll definitely stop by and get more coffees to go.
