    Cafe Noir is tucked away and is the perfect gem. This cafe combined with a gallery space is absolutely fascinating. The baristas are insanely sweet and make the best drinks. I got a latte with a raspberry croissant. That latte although simple was made with great beans and love and care. The croissant was STUNNING and flakey and buttery and had a string raspberry filling. The open space is great to sit and chat or get some work done so truly the any reason to go is a great reason!

    Cute lil café. I love the location on John R Row, a strip if businesses within a residential neighborhood. The drinks and treats choices are minimal compared to larger commercial coffee shops, but there is enough offered to satisfy every coffee drinker. The sweet potato muffin is incredibly delicious warmed. Service is sweet. Seating very minimal inside, but there are seating options outside when weather permits. Parking available right outside of the door. I only wish it stayed open later. It's 5 minutes from my work. It would be amazing to sit outside and decompress with a cup of coffee after leaving work at 4:30.

    Coming to Café Noir is a real treat for many reasons. They have a plethora of pastries to select from, including some I had never heard of before. I tried their raspberry croissant, and while it was slightly too sweet for me, the texture was wonderful soft and buttery. Their coffee was great, served in nice thick mugs. The space itself is a good place to work with plenty of seating. The barista was kind and served relatively quickly. Part of what makes Café Noir special is their connection to the art gallery next door. You can grab a coffee, and then go to the art gallery to see Black artists' work for sale.

    Love this cute little coffee shop. Came here for a Too good to go bag and can't wait to come back. Looking forward to sitting outside in the warmer weather in the little sitting spots outside. The music was a vibe and I love that they have artwork for sale on their walls. Drip coffee and my sandwiches were yummy! Service was great! Greeted with a friendly smile, and service was quick. I'll be back soon.

    Blueberry Latte here is superb. In general, attention to detail here will make you want to come back. Ambiance is welcoming, staff is professional and service overall made me want to tell my friends about the place and return. Made me very proud to visit a neighborhood coffee shop as a native Detroiter.

    They have the best selection of sandwiches and pastries. The service was very friendly, informative and quick. The ambience in the style of the small cozy restaurant was very unique and inviting.

    Really nice shop! Go support a local coffee shop, you pay $6 at Starbucks, give it to the community instead.

    Good amount of seating and friendly community vibes. The attached Gallery is stellar, too! That sweet potato latté is real good as well.

    Was staying in Greektown in downtown Detroit for a wedding, and the hotel receptionist highly…read morerecommended this local bakery to check out. Monroe Street that it's located off of is under heavy construction currently so it may be a bit treacherous navigating the sidewalk outside, but the pastry shop remains open and continued to enjoy heavy foot traffic during the hour I was inside. The staff members are friendly and recommended the baklava as their most popular pastry, so I ordered one dipped with chocolate and pistachio, along with an iced latte. They had about five small tables along the wall for you to sit and eat at, but the benches are wooden and not the most comfortable for use as a study spot. My coffee was nothing to write home about, but the baklava was flaky and very sweet, definitely one of the best I've tried. They had a huge variety of other pastries too, and if they all taste as good as they look, would be worth checking out too.

The carrot cake looked delightful but the slice of red velvet looked a little dull. When it was time to indulge we started with the red velvet slice and discovered it was a waste of calories if you're a red velvet fan - the cake was dry and the cream cheese icing was anticlimactic. On the other hand the carrot cake was amazing - super moist and got a 2 thumbs up. In addition I will say the staff was very friendly and patient especially with our loads of questions. I will go back but the red velvet will not be purchased again. Also I love the overall look and feel of this bakery but do wish it had more seating.

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.
