When I first stumbled across this place, I was surprised by the high ratings. It basically looked…read morelike a pizza joint in a non-descript building wedged between a parking lot and 11 Mile Road - how good could it be? It could be 5 good! We sat outside by the parking lot, but they have a nice little area with big, comfortable tables. There's a QR code you can scan to see the whole menu, which was very handy, because the menu is huge! It took us a long time to scroll through the entire drink menu because there were so many choices! For dinner, we decided to get 12 inch pizza so we could try a bunch of different kinds. We thought that the barbecue chicken pizza was one of the best we've ever had! The pesto pizza was also outstanding!

This will be a regular spot for me!…read more Service, space and drinks were all excellent. The pizza dough is scrumptious (those who follow me know I'm picky about dough). The drink menu is extensive and definitely warrants more than one visit to try all of the ones you want. Great place for a group or if you want some quiet space to yourself. Looking forward to my next time.

When I arrived, someone was teaching a kid to play chess. I don't know if the chess board is a regular thing but the books, art, and wifi are all part of the appeal. And the community vibe makes me think that it would be nice place to practice, assuming there's a chess board handy. If you're very brave, I also recommend the ginger beer. It's flavored with capsicum, in addition to ginger.

Especially with all those people inside. To make matters worse, they only have ONE bathroom and for all genders to share! The only cool thing is they have a dedicated prayer room. I have never seen that before. The coffee was good but I felt they didn't fill the cup up all the way (my husband got the drinks while I went to the restroom or I would have said something). They had a brownie on display and when I got it to go, it was placed in a Zingerman bag do I guess they get their pastries from there!

Will definitely be ordering again. I did also try their Mochi Waffle and Egg Puff. The egg puff that I got was Matcha and through every bite you were able to taste the matcha almost a caffinated buzz in each bite. The mochi waffle flavor was Oreo and though I would prefer more oreo that was the best flavor I was too try. I would definitely recommend for a family outing or even if you have kids to bring them here to get a slushie for the hot summer heat that will be rolling in with us soon.

Please keep the Roasted Beet + Citrus Salad and the Curried Leek And Corn Chowder as permanent menu items or at least on regular rotation. I will return to have both items again.

She explained what the green part was, it sounded delicious and unique. Sold! I warmed it in the oven the next day and it was delicious! Flakes, the flavors were unique and yummy. I'll be back! Thanks *** I'm the first to review, I don't think there is a brick and mortar shop, it appears that she does pop ups at Congregation and sells at Eastern Market. I see she won the Hatch Detroit Contest to start her small business.
