    Dined here for a private networking event. Cute eclectic space. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a ton of games and activities for the kids. There doesn't appear to be a hostess. Just order at the counter and sit where you want. Great espresso martini - just overpriced ($14). Pizza was good fresh (not after it sat out). The white pie was the best of the bunch. Lots of coffee options. I'll try the banana bread pour over next time!

    This is a cute establishment. Very welcoming and modern atmosphere. Note that there is a front and back entrance, there is plenty of parking in the back A solid 5/5 for the pizza-'Mama said knock you out' was delicious. There is a nice kick to this pizza and the pizza was made to order and arrived to the table hot and steamy - just as it should be --Yaay! No additions were needed I.e.: crushed pepper or Parmesan. Customer service id rate 4.5/5 it appeared as though a team member was leaving for shift so although she made our first round of drinks and took our order. This waitress was ready to jet out and did not check in on us-- thankfully we didn't need anything more. There after the team was focused on cleaning up for closing time. I understand, but I am still a paying customer too. There is a private seating area that can be rented out, there is the option to rent the entire restaurant too. Inside the private room area there are toys and books- kid friendly and when the weather breaks there is a garage door that can open up to a patio. In addition to pizza and cocktails/beer there is coffee and pastries. I would come back to try the pastries and a latte, as I am not a coffee drinker. But there is multiple bags of coffee for sale too. All in all I am happy we stumbled upon this restaurant based on other Yelp! Reviews. See you soon again.

    Solid pizza and a fun atmosphere! The menu has some fun pizza combos to try and the selection of drinks includes some beers from the brewery next door. Open seating makes it a little tough to get a table when it's busy on Friday/Saturday nights so I recommend going at "off" times if you don't want to wait.

    The 12-5 happy hour is the best. Really good martini menu. I missed the Hot Madre today. Free parking in a back lot. Friendly staff. Fun seating options from couches to high tops. You can actually talk here. Pizza (both vegan and not). 12" one topping is only $10 during happy hour. Baked goods, coffee, and so many vegan options. Love this place for a drink and snack.

    Mother Handsome quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Coffee shop, pizzeria, and a bar all in one place! The store is bright and welcoming with colorful murals, friendly staff, and cozy corners with couches. The food and drinks are tasty and they have options for GF pizza crust. There is a private room that can be rented for private parties and is also used for special events such as networking and crafts markets. Trivia night has become tradition. It's a great casual hang out!

    Fire. You must try this gem. Mother Handsome really left a memory in my foodie bank. We will definitely be back. Located in Royal Oak, the space is cozy & laid back. The menu is simple, the drinks are amazing. The service is speedy & friendly- all the dynamics to a perfect spot to dine in. Perfect for parties, date nights, family. Pizza by the slice or by the pie. I ordered the pie so I had leftovers - perfect strategy. Come check out Mother Handsome. Absolute perfection!

    Before I start, I wanna talk about the music that played here. They played Laufey, Mitski, Beabadoobee, Mac Demarco, and Radiohead back to back, again, and back again. I pray for the person on the aux. It'll get better soon man, don't worry. Anyways, before I break Yelp's relevancy guidelines, let's talk about the food! I was incredibly shocked to see that a single slice of the Margarita Pizza was 8 dollars. And get this, a 12" Rita is 17 dollars. So you could either 4 slices that are worth two slices, or.... I'm sorry my brain is brand spanking new it's like 6am when I'm writing this. What I'm trying to say is that I had very high expectations, cause like what? And that's insane compared to the Matcha Latte, which was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Okay, before I get to the pizza, let me talk about this Matcha. The Matcha Latte with a little drizzle of honey, is so, so refreshing and carefully strained to perfection. The barista has clearly an eye for this stuff, because this is some of the most delicious matcha in Berkley, since Coffee and Bark's matcha is genuinely disgusting. But this is Mother Handsome, not Coffee and Bark. That is a long rant for another time. I'd much rather rant about how everyone started staring at me when I walked in, it was like a cartoon. Maybe I need to take rejection therapy or something cause that made me genuinely insecure and disheveled. Wasn't their fault though, I had a really strange hat on that day. The pizza was such a floppy let down. The pizza is not that impressive, especially with all these high expectations. The raving reviews, the expensive undertaking, the atmosphere even seemed a little competitive. It had me kind of sad I drank my Matcha Latte before hand, that's probably a loophole they do. They make their matcha really good and their pizza really underwhelming, so they'll finish the Matcha first, and then buy another one after to wash down the E40. Okay, I'm done. The interior was incredibly cozy, I had a very nice seat in the corner of the building and enjoyed my second Matcha (okay fine I fell for it) under the sun, while thinking about how much I abused my bank account this week. WOW. 3/5

    Rented a party room for a family party. Everything was handled so well! We did an open bar. Drinks came quickly and the service on refills was excellent. We did a pizza and salad buffet. Super tasty pizza. Regular, Greek and Caesar salad. And some nice garlic flatbread. Very happy with the party. The room had plenty of room for kids to run around and they had toys for the kids to play with!! Plenty of high chairs

    So many espresso martinis, all so delicious. The tiramisu is a must!! The pizza is absolutely sensational, fantastic crust and incredibly fresh & flavorful toppings. Top tier ranch too!

    Love the vibe and varied seating here. The service is a bit slower on a busy Sunday evening but the servers are friendly. I enjoyed my cardamom latte next time maybe I'll order pizza! Love the late night vibes and how people are her for drinks, food, coffee, WFH, and more.

    Cucumber daiquiri

    $14 for half a drink that's actually not good at all. Sad. Cute place and nice service but coffee and cocktails overpriced and mediocre. Rather pay that price at a nice bar in Detroit that tastes good.

    It looks like I might need to park in the back. There's only parking in the back then. It's packed in the back. Back patio. The menu is pizza and more carby pizza mostly. Ordered at the bar, grabbed a Mom's house 16" with up charge of chicken instead of pepperoni, Greek salad with feta on the side, Caesar salad. $55.12 The Greek salad is okay, lots of yellow Romaine pieces. Nothing special. The Caesar is so-so, the dressing is more of a vinaigrette. The bread on top of the salad seems stale and hard, not so good. The pizza is thin, except for the crust. It's okay, the spicy sausage is what gives it flavor, otherwise the Mom's house is bland. The crust isn't bad, just not as chewy and airy, more dense than I prefer. Service at the bar was good, attentive and polite.

    The cutest coffee shop/pizza bar! What a gem! My matcha was delicious and I can't wait to go back and try even more! Service was wonderful and there was plenty of space.

Walking in, there was very limited seating and about an hour wait, which clearly showed how popular this spot is. Thankfully, the hostess told us about their basement bar area where you can grab drinks and snacks while waiting. The downstairs area had such a cool speakeasy vibe dark ambiance, vinyl music playing, and honestly the perfect date night atmosphere. The drinks were REALLY good, and you can also order appetizers down there. Once we made it upstairs, we grabbed bar seating and talked to a few people around us who all said this was their favorite spot. Our bartender was amazing -- super attentive, explained the menu well, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the wings (perfectly seasoned and so good) and the chicken sandwich with buffalo added for a little spice... absolutely delicious. I also tried the pistachio martini, and wow definitely one of my favorite drinks I've had in a while. Overall, such a great experience from the atmosphere to the food and service. I'll definitely be back, and I've already been telling all my friends about this place!

    We were a group of 3 who wanted to be seated outside on a hot and sticky Michigan day. Luckily…read morethere was a nice breeze. Ok make that 2 of 3 that wanted to be outside. As we followed our greeter to our table I kept screaming in my mind "no no no no no not that table no!" and she sat us at a table in full blasting sun. Nevermind the fact that there was a whole shaded section in the back part of the patio area. The rest of my group said it was fine and a beam of sun slowly bore a hole through my chest. Drink orders were up. I ordered a fabulous cross between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. A+++ for the drinks. Mine was loaded with fresh mint from their garden. Same grade for our waitress who explained the drinks in detail and ended with "ugh- are you sure you want to sit at this table straight in the sun?" The other two said it was fine. I was ready to move, but was out voted. She continued to check in regularly and brought extra water. Most items on the menu were hot. I considered the fish, but we all landed on appetizers and we would just bounce from place to place for bites and drinks. We ordered the charcuterie board and the lavender lemon whip with bread and cucumbers for the 3 of us. The charcuterie board was the large version and had minimal offerings. It wasn't full and pretty. It was little piles of each thing on a board. This one definitely wasn't making it into Better Homes and Gardens magazine. There was a little pile of mixed nuts, a little pile of lose green grapes, a little pile of lose red grapes - not all grapes pristine or large and none were on the vine. There were 3 little piles of cubed cheese and 2 types of sliced sausage and sliced pepperoni. There were 8 crackers that were wheat thin size. This matters because we had some onion jam on the board and a nice serving of mustard. There really wasn't anything to put them on except for the 8 little crackers. That part was weird. These weren't elevated offerings. I could have picked up any of these at Walmart. They were not elevated quality either. We also got a lavender lemon infused whip which was their answer to tzatziki sauce. It was excellent but again, we were given so much of the sauce without a bunch to put it on. The cucumbers were sliced lengthways and there was a lovely bread that tasted like sourdough. There was 6 pieces of bread, and these were not particularly large pieces. A lot more would have been needed to use all of the sauce they gave. The proportions were off. All together the bill was over $100 for the 3 drinks and appetizers. If I ever did go back I won't order food based on what I experienced. There are too many other great options within walking distance.

    Came here for an anniversary dinner and left a bit disappointed. I have heard good things but…read moreturned out to be a very mediocre dinner. Got a burger and upgraded to truffle fries. Just one burger option and limited toppings. Server was very nice but didn't write down the order, and when it came my burger was missing the cheese and onion. I wasn't sure if they would take it back or what so I didn't eat anymore and it took her a decent amount of time to come and check on us after we got our food. I let her know what was missing and she said it was her fault and asked if I wanted it fixed. I said yeah and she went and got a cold piece of cheese and slice of onion and put it on a plate and gave to me to put on my own burger. I'd expected a little bit better service and I'm certainly not someone who demands top tier service from every spot. Fries were crispy but needed some parm or an aioli sauce to dip in. Also minor note but I had some fries left on my plate and when she came to collect plates I had food in my mouth so I couldn't say anything but she took the plate and my fries! They should always ask if there's any food left on the plate. Burger was decent overall, but definitely nothing special. Environment was cool and I'm sure they have got some other delicious items on the menu but for the price paid and service received, I'd go somewhere else next time.
