So happy that I made it to Milwaukee Caffe over the holidays. It is still one of my favorite standup coffee shops. Their brown butter sage latte this winter is a winner. It is rich and smooth, and not too sweet. They still offer a selection of pastries, though it has changed with the owners. They are high quality. I tried the orange cranberry loaf, and was very good. They also have breakfast burritos available sometimes, but it seems like they go fast. I was thrilled that they now offer a yogurt parfait, as I was longing for something like that all the years that this was a daily stop. So yes, the ownership has changed, they have also opened up the cafe seating behind the counter area, and there is still great coffee, good treats, solid service from excellent people, and a great entry to this neighborhood near Detroit's north end. read more

I came here randomly and I loved it here. The place is very small so that was sad, but they said they were maybe getting space from the bar/restaurant behind them. The baristas were so funny, so kind, very helpful! I felt like I was their friend haha! The coffee was good! They make their syrups in house which is always a good sign! Their machine was good! I liked it & if they had seating inside I'd be back before winter is over. read more

What a gem! The coffee is delicious and the barista made me smile... what else does one need in a morning? also that back lounge was an incredible moody, rich spot to philosophize. A+ all around read more

Several friends recommended this caffe! I stopped in before 8 a.m. and was serviced immediately! The interior has a warm feel- I wanted a caramel macchiato, but they were out of caramel, so I tried the cinnamon honey option. The barista was very pleasant and helpful. They use recyclable materials, which is great! They had coffee options and croissants available this morning. They have street parking. read more

Finally! I found an Italian caffe in Detroit! I just want a double espresso, with a croissant or danish. Milwaukee Caffe fit my wishlist exactly. A walk-up coffee bar with a friendly barista is a great addition to this neighborhood. read more

This classic caffe is stunning and especially when the weather is great and you can enjoy the outside seating. It's no frills and extras but they make a fabulous cup of coffee with an amazing attitude. Every morning I've been here I feel ready to start my day. Just an espresso with a great bean. read more

Cute lil place, good sized menu considering how small it is. Barista was super chill! Just FYI there isn't any seating so this place is more of a brief stop for commuters. Makes me wonder how it survives considering it's a few blocks off Woodward. Would recommend to anyone passing by! read more

Milwaukee Caffe - Oat milk cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Such a hidden gem. No seating unless it's a nice day on the corner/patio area. they've got good weekly hours (7AM) and I visited religiously for a while before work Monday-Thursday (open @ 8AM Fri) . I really like the online ordering aspect as that's not too common around here. They often collab w businesses and have local things for sale like beans and sometimes small foods. Big fan and always worth a go to. I tend to get the same thing wherever i go so id recommend their brev. latte w some syrup+honey. (: read more

I love this place SO much. Always a great latte and delicious house made syrups. Can't wait for it to warm up to chill outside! Keep up the good work. read more

Beautiful vibe on a close to perfect Sunday morning during Memorial Day weekend. Staff was welcoming, courteous, and personable. There is seating outside during this season which was where their customers were sitting. The counter/ordering area inside is a bit tight however w/that limitation it seems to encourage staff to be efficient w/orders coming in. I ordered a dirty chai latte w/oat milk. Very delicious. If you're in the area or wanna check out a new cafe this one is it. read more

This place is great! Service is excellent! Coffee is strong and delicious! Milk they use is of a superb quality. Interior is lovely, there is a bar in the back that works in the evening. The seating area is outdoors. It's a perfect place to chill outside, lots of trees and brick buildings around, atmosphere is cool and nice. Will recommend for sure read more

We stopped in for a quick cup of excellent coffee just after 7 am, before beginning a pre-dawn walk in the city. What a find! Our barista was kind, efficient and knew her beans! I had an exquisite cup of hot, smooth as silk, freshly brewed coffee. My companion enjoyed his rich Mocha with a local favorite: Calder's milk in the glass container. Prices are entirely reasonable. And BONUS - if you get there before 8 AM, coffee is a dollar off! We took seats at one of the small, sidewalk tables, sipped and watched patrons as they came in to quickly grab online orders before starting their day. It was delightful experience that we will repeat! read more

Absolutely amazing little walk up coffee spot! The staff here are so friendly and the coffee and drinks handmade and outstanding. My recommendations: The cortado Pour over coffee Flavored lattes I also highly recommend their simply syrup vs sugar in your coffee. So good! Expect to pay between $3-$5 per drink. They also have a great selection of cocktails and pastries to go! 10/10 would come here anytime read more

I had one of the best matcha lattes of my life and the baristas were friendly and conversational. Overall a great experience: if I lived nearby, I would be visiting often. read more

Finding this cute, modern cafe on a whim was a pleasant surprise. Located in the up and coming New Center area of Detroit, the walk-up window is right next to the Kiesling bar. The cafe offers patio seating along the street providing a great atmosphere to enjoy a coffee date in Detroit. The inside of the cafe is chic and airy, while offering a variety of coffee and baked goods to enjoy. The prices were as expected for specialty coffees in the Detroit area. The mocha I ordered was good, and the staff was friendly. Visiting during COVID, mask wearing and social distancing were appropriately adhered to and coffee lids were even handed to you via tongs (so employees did not touch the top)--a nice touch in my opinion. A quaint local cafe to check out and see the growth of businesses in Detroit. read more

What an adorable little hidden gem! I was driving by and saw two people sitting in their cute pastel minty green seats outside. I had to make a u-turn to give the place a try, even though I already had my coffee for the day. I'm so glad I did! Nothing like a caffe that can make you feel like you just took a trip abroad. Adorable decor, and most importantly quality tasting menu items. I enjoyed a honey + cinnamon latte with macadamia nut milk and a cinnamon + sweet potato scone. Will definitely return, and have already begun spreading the word about this new find. I highly recommend. read more

Mocha was made with the wrong milk which was fine, but it tasted sour. Had it remade with right milk and it still tasted sour. For one to pay $6 for a mocha, it's only fair that it's made with semi-fresh ingredients or at least one would hope. It also has a funny smell to it. If there are no quality checks, there's an even bigger issue at hand. read more

The best latte in the city. Cute, tucked away spot. The mocha is divine. Great stop on a bike tour, if you're into exploring North End and Milwaukee Junction areas. read more

Open early and great coffee. I just got a drip coffee and it was uniquely flavored. I enjoyed it

This place is great for a quick coffee although I can see some improvements like more syrups to make them stand out and make the coffee something you wanna go out of your way to get, another thing that would elevate this place to a 4 star would be heating up the pastries, i have been here many times they've never offered, I found myself longing for a warmed up ham and cheese croissant from Starbucks, the pastries here are very good but no one wants a cold croissant! Thats how easy it is to elevate the experience but here I am with an incredible pastry with cold cheese. The seating area is great! Its a perfect little place to sit and have a coffee with a friend and the staff is always nice and friendly and the prices are very reasonable, they do go a little heavy on the syrups so beware read more

Milwaukee Caffe - Cold brew, latte, spinach croissant and ham and cheese croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

this place is just lovely! i went last month, and the place was beautiful, the employee that took my order was friendly, & my drink was so good (i've been craving it ever since - iced honey matcha). this place is more ideal to go in the spring/summer, as to its tiny inside & most of the seating is outdoors. so if you like hanging out in cafes for hours, probably not a good idea come wintertime. otherwise, charming atmosphere & kind workers where you can enjoy a drink in the sunshine! read more

Iced matcha latte was basically just a cup of milk. Chai is also store bought from a carton so not worth getting.

This little window is the most delightful hidden spot. And the coffee and matcha were spot on for an coffee snooty. The crew working were warm and friendly. I'll be back pronto. read more

Really amazing espresso and nice staff. Like to come here for a little pick me up or sweet treat.

I would love to give this place a 5 star! Really cute place but the times that they say they are open, aren't accurate. Second time I came here and they weren't open yet! But they were there. They could've just made my coffee real quick instead of putting out chairs. She said they open at 8 and it 9. It's not like I was there right when they opened. read more

This is a great walk up coffee window! It's beautiful aesthetically and the coffee was delicious. My favorite is the iced cortado.
