It's a small coffee menu which I appreciate. The space inside is really cute with nice tables and chairs, and a fresh clean aesthetic. I got an Americano and added my own half and half. I got a pastry with a caramelized onion roasted red pepper and roasted tomato paste and a flaky puff pastry type crust. It was delicious and prices were reasonable for such a fancy item. I also used the restroom which was unisex. It was super clean inside which I appreciate at a food facility. Service was prompt and the cashier / barista was polite and nice. I look forward to additional visits to Warda.

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!

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.

Their chicken salad is another standout: fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a midday bite. Honestly, everything from the baked goods to the sandwiches is consistently delicious. I stop by at least twice a week, not just for the food, but to see Donya the heart and soul of the place. As the manager, she's become a friend to many of us who live in the building. Her energy is incredible, and she treats everyone who walks in like family. You'll leave with a full stomach and a smile, guaranteed. Oh and fun fact: Donya can sing the horns off a Billy goat. Seriously. If you stop by, ask her to sing you a song. You won't regret it!

Between the caramel apple cheesecake, double chocolate torte, chocolate Cannoli, Blueberry Bread Pudding with Rum, Strawberry Cronut, Chocolate Pistachio Baklava, Caramel Apple Bar, Caramel Cake, Butter almond cookie, and the lemon bar. We are in heaven with these pastries and will always go every time we are in town. The shop also has old fashioned "take a number" waiting which is a great way to manage a busy store. Everyone was lively and happy to wait for their yummy desserts. Overall 10* if that was a possible rating. You will not be disappointed with whatever you get there. Its moist, flavorful, and leaves you wanting more. Definitely try them out!

I have not had as much baklava as other desserts, but this was just unreal. There was a ton of cinnamon present, and it went perfectly with the honey aspect (believe it was honey anyway). The flaky pastry crust made it that more enjoyable. I was thinking of going back to get it again! Will I go back? Obvious.

I ordered cookies, a scone and tea this morning. Please note that Thursday morning special is only until 11am or right before. I went a few weeks back at 11:30am and staff said "I guess it stopped and switched over." Today was the special pricing for most of it. I also ordered a veggie quiche that came with dressed greens. I would not recommend as it was excessively salty. The spinach seemed to not be chopped and layered near the top. I wish I had stopped at the sweets. Best part whether special or not was the cookies. I don't know if they are baked daily or not, but they were kept in a plastic containers. The space is small, but dining at the Jolly Pumpkin tables is allowed. The management doesn't clearly care because staff is not fully trained. I tried emailing feedback on the Thursday special and no reply after 2 weeks or so.

The pastries at Sweet Ride looked irresistable so we stopped there. I got a little bit of sticker shock when they told me how much I owed them for one cupcake and one eclair -- $9 (each was $4.50). We probably would've skipped it if we'd realized how pricy they were. The cupcake was incredibly decadent and delicious (encased in a milk chocolate shell, inside were a layer of whipped cream and layer of chocolate ganache atop a moist and delicious cupcake). The custard in the eclair was overly rich and the dessert itself too chilled to be especially enjoyable. On a future visit, I'd split the decadent cupcake two ways and skip the eclair.

The coffee is consistently excellent, and they offer a great selection of sandwiches and food if you're planning to stay for a few hours. Unlike some coffee shops that can get overwhelmingly loud, James Oliver maintains a noise level that makes it easy to focus while still feeling lively. What really sets it apart is that you can comfortably take meetings here without worrying about excessive background noise, and it's equally great for getting work done between calls. If you're looking for a coffee shop in Detroit with great coffee, good food, and a productive work environment, James Oliver is definitely worth a visit.

But this recent visit to Detroit I have ordered Uber Eats from here two days this week and both times my order was wrong. The first time I ordered an avocado, egg and cheese on a bagel and got egg and cheese on a bagel. Uber Eats refunded me $.83. Today I ordered a bagel with cream cheese (kind of hard to mess up, so it was safe) and a latte with white chocolate sauce and oat milk. Instead I got a regular mocha latte. Extremely bitter and unpleasant. I would definitely go back in person again to order so I can check my orders, but I will never order Uber Eats from here ever again.
