I'm so disappointed with rose's. the food here USED to be amazing. I came here all the time to eat breakfast and there was always something different to eat for brunch -- my fav the breakfast tacos. All at a decent price. Today I came back for the first time in over a month, and the menu is shorter with not many options and the prices have gone up. I got a silvermans breakfast and I asked for over easy eggs. I got well done. And it was SO bland. Just plain potatoes with my well-done eggs. She also forgot my jam for the bread and I asked her for it TWICE. Also, don't get there smoky black tea. It tastes like campfire water. Please bring back the old menu with more options. This is terrible read more

If you enjoy completely raw potatoes and a freezing cold table this is the place to come for breakfast/brunch. After waiting about 30 minutes for a table we were excited to chow down. We ordered tea and coffee and a cup of soup to start. It was freezing outside and just as cold inside! Coffee came right up, they brew an entire pot of tea which took about 10 minutes. Got my soup first. I ordered the lamb sandwich deal. The lamb meat balls were so delicious, everything else about the plate was ehh, and the totally raw potatoes super disappointing. My partner ordered meemas farmhouse with a side of potatoes and bacon. His potatoes never came and after seeing mine were totally raw didn't remind the server, though we were still charged for them. And the side of bacon was sad, little crumbles from the end of the griddle. He said the rest was just ok, but that he would not want to return. I liked the beans that came with his, though it may have just been because I was freezing cold and they were hot! Some how this ended up costing over $60 before tip. We were not to happy about that, especially considering this breakfast sucked and the RAW potatoes! The guy next to us also got raw potatoes but his looked like they touches the grill at least! I really want to like this place, it's close to home and the menu sounds good. Unfortunately the food sucks, and he service is less then and it's freezing cold in there. I would order just some of the lamb meatballs if I could. That the only reason for the star. Otherwise will not be returning on my own will. read more

This place was highly recommended to us, and with all the great reviews, we really wanted to like it. Unfortunately we left pretty disappointed - by both the service and the food. We came in (a group of 4) a little before 9am on a Sunday, before any brunch rush - there were maybe 2 other groups in the restaurant. We were seated and immediately asked our drink order (this was the only time the service could be described as 'immediate') by one server. A few minutes later a different server came for our food order, which we gave, and then shortly after that the first server came back to take our food order, which we had already given the other server. Ultimately we waited over 30 minutes for our food, with neither of our servers coming to check on us in that time, and watching groups the same size as ours that came in after us getting served first. Finally the first server came up to us with a complimentary donut and cheesecake (which we did appreciate) and told us our order had been lost and they were working on it now. This is a pretty small place and I understand miscommunications between the kitchen and the servers happen, but if one of our servers checked on us at all within that half hour of waiting, I think that could have been avoided. I'm wondering if the two servers saw each other taking care of our table and then both decided the other was handling it and ultimately neither serving us. When we did finally get our food, it was underwhelming. Two of us got the Silverman's Special, one the vegan rice bowl, and the other the 'poodle platter' which was supposed to be poached eggs over greens and potatoes. The one who got the poodle platter found about an inch wide egg shell still attached to his poached eggs, which were so overcooked they had basically become hard boiled (super disappointing for us runny-yolk lovers). The rest of us thought our food was fine but certainly not worth the price for something we could get for the same quality at half the price at a non ~hip~ diner. I know the prices are higher as the servers are paid a living wage which is totally commendable, but it was also confusing because the menu indicated that they would still expect a tip, which in my experience at other restaurants that pay servers a living wage (Zingerman's Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, for example), they explicitly say tips are unnecessary. We did tip the typical 20%, albeit reluctantly. Usually good food can make up for bad service, but unfortunately that didn't happen for us. We wouldn't recommend and won't be going back. read more

The food is outstanding and the coffee unexpectedly magnificent. I've been here several times in all seasons. Can't believe I'm just now getting a review up. Every menu item I've ordered has been either beautifully cooked and plated or at least interesting to taste (there was a bean and egg dish that wasn't to my liking but it's more due to the fact that I'm not a fan of thick tortillas). All the ingredients have been fresh and delicious with all the warmth a home made meal provides. Though it is a small space and usually a wait, less so if you're fine with bar seating, it is well worth it! Also, all desserts are excellent and worth taking home if you've filled up on the meal. I love this place and go whenever I am coming back from a Belle Isle ride. read more

Rose’s - Love this place...come on over! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

See all

Came to Rose's for brunch with a group of friends. The food was tasty and the service was great. Love the classic diner ambiance. The servers are very friendly. You can tell that the ingredients that are used to make the dishes are fresh. That Hot Lamb Bling was oh so good. And the toast with freshly made jam ! There may be a wait as the establishment is quite small but it is definitely worth the wait. I will definitely be coming back here to try their lunch menu. Come here you won't be disappointed ! read more

Rose’s - Hot Lamb Bling! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

It may look like an old hole-in-the-wall neighborhood diner, but the hipsters waiting outside, the menu fare and prices say otherwise! If you read a lot of eater.com or Thrillist articles you may have come across the diner's name. They have been on countless lists, from top breakfast places in Detroit to hidden gems. After dining here I can see what the fuss is all about. Very tiny with about 12-15 bar stools to sit at the counter and about 6 tables along the wall. They are open most days from 8a.m.- 5p.m. and is known as a great breakfast/lunch spot. When you walk in you'll see the counter with the fresh baked goods made daily. A host is there to seat you or take down your name if there is a wait (which more than likely there will be). The menu is small, but the few things I have had a chance to try are excellent! My number 1 is the lamb-o-nini! The lamb meatballs with tomato sauce and Greek yogurt dill sauce is everything a tastebud dreams about. Their bread is homemade, fresh and tasty. The kimchi broth dish is also excellent. The broth is super tasty with bacon, poached eggs, kale and bacon bits. Considering it's broth based it is actually filling. For the less adventurous I find the breakfast sandwich to be a great selection and it has that wonderful homemade bread! Service is on top of their game and an entree will run you around $11-$13 and a cup of coffee $3. Be sure to ask about their daily specials as well! read more

What a fun find on Jefferson near Belle Island. Looks like an old diner...because it probably is. They take your phone number and you wait in your car cause it's so small which is adorable. The food. Good. Responsible. Fresh. Different. The service...perfect. The mixed up cups and saucers for the hot, endless coffee...loved that. Had the egg sandwich for breakfast and it was perfect. Give this place a try with an open mind and you won't be disappointed. read more

Rose’s - Egg sandwich with greens. So good. The sandwich usually comes with potatoes or grits. I switched it up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

What a great find! Stopped here for a late lunch after some shopping at Eastern market. Somewhat eclectic menu but everything we had was fantastic. I had the Hellooooooo Helen which was a delicious combination of ham and sauerkraut - and whatever sauce that was on it was a perfect finishing touch. My friends has the Bunny Lebowski and Hot Lamb Bling - I don't care for lamb but I did try the Bunny, which was interesting. They both loved their choices. Last, but certainly not least, the coffee. The coffee is divine. It is made by Populace and is on my list to purchase and have at home. Again - this was a great find. Small spot but really great food and really friendly service. read more

Rose’s - Helloooo Helen. Delish!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Went here for lunch on a Saturday and the wait wasn't very long for 2 people. Just a head's up on the menu--when I went, the menu posted online is different from the menu available at the restaurant, but either way the options all looked great. I had the avocado & egg sandwich, which was just OK--it needed a little salt, hot sauce, or mayo for more flavor, but the bread was fantastic. The grits also could have used some cheese or salt, but had good texture. My husband had an egg sandwich with cheese, bacon, and garlic mayo & it was delicious. Negatives: the coffee was surprisingly bad for a place that makes everything from scratch and was $2.50/cup. Also, the service was very slow, but everyone that works there is nice. Lastly, I saw that we were overcharged when we go our bill, but since it wasn't for that much, I let it slide. All in all, I would go back! read more

Rose’s - Egg sandwich with grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The food was good and the service was very nice. However, I had higher expectations and the menu selection was pretty bare bones. If they had a few more options I would definitely rate it higher. However, the quality is very nice and the place is cute. read more

If my review was based on food only, Rose's would get a single star. The staff was very very slow but super friendly. I love the fact that they pay the staff a livable wage. The wait wasn't long even though I thought it would be much longer. The food: Doughnut- excellent icing with great flavor and quite a lot of lemon zest, but it tasted like that was poured over a mediocre dense dinner roll. Not a Doughnut by any regulars account, other than the shape. Poached eggs that look to be cooked in a poaching dish instead of free form in water. Mine were fine but they overlooked my friends. My potatoes, that I requested extra crispy, were undercooked. Like raw potato in the center. So disappointing. The toast, was thick and dense, but not in a good way. Also barely toasted on one side and nothing on the other. No butter supplied for the toast, and no server to be found to request some. I asked for a side of pancakes. Had to ask again when the food was delivered. They showed up as we were finishing the last of the meal. Bacon was good. Grits were good. All in all a pretty lack luster performance with a hefty price tag. Pretty sad when you drive by the big boy on the way out and think that they maybe could have provided a better meal :( read more

The food wasn't very good. Dry biscuits, watery grits with bad flavor. The service was a decent but seating is very closed in. The vibe is cool because of the diverse crowd. The prices were way too high for what you get. read more

My first trip to Rose's was not great, but I"m updating this review because I've been back with friends a few times since then and I love it. I must have just ordered the wrong thing the first time, or hit them on a bad day. They have a partial seasonal menu so its always fun to try something new, but they have classic stuff that they always seem to have which is good too (like pancakes and chicken sausage). Great vegetarian and vegan options. read more

The food here is good, don't get me wrong. The place is aesthetically pleasing, yet cramped and uncomfortable. The service is so-so. This place is just way too over priced for what it is. Sure, it's better than the usual diner, but it isn't worth the money. A simple American breakfast with coffee will cost $16.50. Sure, the tip's included, but for the money, it should be a lot better. Or, for the quality, it should be a lot cheaper. Putting flowers on food doesn't make it better. The place is out of touch. It's in a rough neighborhood (not the worst, but it's not downtown) yet they have a "no firearms" sticker on the door. The attitude of the staff feels like "the customer is here for us and shouldn't expect decent service". Don't get me wrong, I like that they're getting a decent wage, but it should be earned. I've been there several times, but have no desire to go back. read more

Wow. What an incredible disappointment. Rose's used to be one of our go-to places for a quick, locally-sourced breakfast served by friendly folks trying to do right by their staff and the community. But oh has it changed--- confirmed only by *several* disappointing attempts to let the staff rediscover its groove over a six month period. Our last visit took the cake, and unfortunately, we will not be back. From greeting to presentation of the check, the service was beyond lacking. The server, greeted tables out of order; we sat for a full five minutes prior to watching the table directly "next door", get sat and immediately delivered waters, as we looked around for our server (the same person). She took their coffee order, brought them coffee and cream, chatted for a few (they ended up knowing one another) and only then came by to say she would be back with water. When legitimate problems with the meal were brought to the server's attention (I *hate* sending food back and only do so when it is truly inedible or has contamination issues), no apology was offered. Hair in the food merits an, "I am sorry. Let me take this. Can I get you something else?" rather than a blank stare followed by a, "... so... do you want me to take this away?" Coffee was filled by a conscientious busser/dishwasher who noted my empty cup while clearing a table--- he went to the back and the cup was never refilled. And the food... Oh the food. The menu has become more limited, the prices have increased, the seasonal rotation has ended. I am happy to pay for well-executed, locally-sourced food, but the former just doesn't happen anymore. Let's talk about eggs here, people. If you operate a diner, you should be masterful with fried egg temperatures. A sunny-side up egg is one that is never flipped, with a runny yolk, but with set or barely-set whites, accomplished by covering or basting. In the last six months, I have yet to receive a sunny-side up egg that isn't covered in a thick layer of raw albumen; usually, I push it to the side and just don't eat the egg in spite of ordering a $12-14 egg dish. Today, I thought, "why don't we give them a shot to correct with a little direction about what I was looking for." Again, I was stared at and asked if I understood what a sunny-side up egg was. I do. Do you? When it came back after the re-fire (which took a timed 12 minutes), it was burnt on the bottom with a raw white and I was told that, "this is the best the cook can do." You may ask why I didn't order an over-easy egg if I knew that sunny wasn't within the wheelhouse of the cook. The answer to that is that in the last 6 months, Rose's cook options on eggs are sunny-side raw and over-hard, and the Staff Favorite is in need of that luscious, runny yolk. Simultaneously raw and burnt potatoes, hair in beans, a Staff Favorite half the portion size of its former self, grounds in the coffee... It was a disaster. We were sad to leave, even noting that we should look around to remember some of the better meals we have there (including our second date). However, it looks like we won't be back. read more

Oxymoron? There is nothing fine about the food here. I had the $13 egg sandwich with one egg, greens, cheddar cheese. It was bathed in some strange vinaigrette immersion that ruined the thing. My friend had an utterly average eggs and sausage patty for $11. The potatoes that came with my sandwich were essentially blanched and then rolled on the griddle for a few seconds with maybe a glancing blow of paprika but no other noticeable seasoning. There was no heat on in the place on a very cold morning a couple of weeks ago. We sat at the counter in our winter coats and hats waiting interminably for the food. Utter torture for just under $30 WTF? read more

I liked the environment and the waitresses and things were nice also. I didn't like the food tho. Well, the bacon was good. I also ordered Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice. Maybe the oranges weren't ripped. It wasn't good. The food just wasn't what I would ever eat again. Nice presentation tho. Most of the potatoes were burnt, the bread was hard, the grits were blah. The eggs were ok (they were missing the cheese tho). Also they gave me some butter and jam ( the butter...idk what is was but it was flavorless and the jam sucked. Like there was no sweetness to it. It was gross and they gave me like a teaspoon amount) 3 Stars because it's such a cute diner. read more

I have been here a few times and it's never as good as the description or how it looks. I ordered a rabbit sandwich that had several small bones in it and was extremely dry and bland. I have tried their doughnuts and also found them dry and bland. It's also quite expensive and inconvenient. read more

I came into here this morning with my boyfriend with two other people. I was pretty unhappy with my service & my overpriced food. The food was okay, but nothing special. If I'm paying 9.50 for two eggs, 1 toast, & some potatoes. That's basic food that's cheap. I want good food. Our waiter didn't pay much attention to us & only came to check up on us here & then. The place was just way to much. We paid 50$+ for three people for basic breakfast food that's lame as hell. I could've ate at Punch Bowl social for that price for better food. They had NINE people working there & it was still slow service idk how that happens. Super cute & hipster. But the service and food was basic AF so that killed me. We all agreed we wouldn't come back. read more

Little hipster spot in Detroit. Interior is decorated as if Urban Outfitters had a restaurant -- but not in an annoying way. The menu is short and sweet just like I like em. Got the bone broth bowl cuz, you know, trying to be a little healthy post-thanksgiving pies and mashed taters. It was like a breakfast soup with eggs, and surprisingly filling. My mom got the egg sandwich and it was GOOD. I'll order that next. Prices were a little higher than the average breakfast joint, but everything is made in house so I think it's worth it. I'll be back probably. read more

Whitefish Panini and a glass of wine. Great lunch with an interesting vibe. Fresh flowers on the table too!

nothing special. food was actually not worth it. bland w/ no flavor. past its hay-day. huge disappointment. read more

Meh!!! I ate here for the first time came in for lunch. I ordered a Patty Melt as it was 1 of 2 sandwiches on the menu. The Patty itself was dry . It came with pickles and some fried potatoes. It was just ok it cost me $22.00 with a 15% tip. I appreciate their cost are higher as the donate to charity but for $22.00 the food should be better. Too limited of choices maybe Breakfast is better? read more

Absolutely love this place. Had my second visit to Rose's today. It's a small diner, so there is usually a small wait. But the staff are friendly and efficient so it's never too long of a wait. This time we scored seats at the counter. Kind of like sitting front row at a show, all kinds of action going on. Awesome atmosphere and today they were playing some 90s hip hop music, everyone was having fun. I'll start by mentioning that the coffee here is to die for. They grind it themselves and it's always fresh because everyone is drinking it up! I am usually the type of person that uses excessive amount of cream in my coffee, but here I just use a little sugar and it goes down smoothly. Today I decided to try one of the homemade bakery treats, chocolate yogurt cake. It's almost like a super dense chocolate chip muffin and was super good. I had the breakfast noodles to eat. Thick, handmade noodles sautéed in garlic butter with greens and chorizo, then topped off with 2 fried eggs. Absolutely amazing. The boyfriend had the Poodle Platter. This consisted of sautéed greens, poached eggs, potatoes, and toast topped with ricotta and jam. He powered through it and ate it all. We will definitely return to Rose's. It's well worth the wait or any distance you may have to travel to get here. read more

I will NEVER come back to this restaurant again. I dine out 4 or 5 times a week in all areas of downtown detroit and I choose a different brunch place every sunday to relax and have a new dining experience. In all of my dining experiences i have NEVER had what happened to me at Rose's ever happen. I sat down to eat around noon. The server rushed my friend and I through our meal and by 12:55 said to us "Im so sorry but we have a long waiting list can you guys leave soon?" WHAT THE HELL????? We were barely there an hour and they wanted us to leave because they have a small restaurant that cant accommodate the demand. I understand this request as Sunday brunch is popular but if there is an amount of time you are "allowed to stay" then you should be warned on the menu.... or even a sign at the door. I wouldnt recommend this place at all. read more

Rose’s - I am usually a 20% tipper but after my awful experience i barely left 10%!!! I was SO OUTDONE! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I'm a 10 year Detroiter and I've been almost everywhere in the city. I wanted to check out what the hype was at Rose's. I tried to go here on a weekend, previously, but literally couldn't get in the door because it was so overcrowded with overly-tattooed, denim-vested hipsters. I happened to be in the area on a Wednesday morning this week and thought I would check it out. Only a few other patrons. Once i saw the ludicrous prices (for a breakfast joint) I should have just ordered some coffee (also overpriced) or simply left. But I was hungry and hoped that the taste would live up to the prices. Nope. $13 for two eggs, a bit of bad tasting kale and refried beans! Are you #$@%#% kidding me, refried beans! If I wanted a couple eggs and some beans I would have just went to one of the many nice little Mexican joints in Southwest for about $3 (and also really delicious)! The only Pro here was the bread and spread that came with the meal. You can tell it was homemade, thick, delicious bread. And I appreciate that they pay their employees a living wage. I get the hip appeal, and for people not used to the rough parts of town, how it's probably some kind of 'experience' for them, but what I was served did not live up to the hype and won't be wasting my money trying to see if I would like their other dishes. Plenty of better places to eat in Detroit. read more

So the menus is severely pared down from the pics on here. Only about 10 things on there and most are breakfast items. Two sandwiches $27. Not very impressed. Cute place. Very small. Service was spotty and we were 2 of 6 people. read more

I came here super excited to see the new edition to this end of town and was starving. Walking in you're greeted by awesome tables made of repurposed wood and really cool decor. The menu is unique and leaves you with a desire to try everything on it! I had the Molly's Everyday and it was great! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the toast was to die for. The person I was with had the Up Stream Sandwich that he said was epic. We also had their doughnuts which as you could probably guess by now were amazing as well. I currently have one of their sticky buns in my custody and I don't think it will make it past 2, it looks like something out of a magazine. I wasn't going to give 5 stars because there were a few hiccups during our visit that were clearly opening week issues... But everyone was so nice and fun to talk to that I just couldn't do it. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other things on the menu! PS: Fresh Squeezed OJ!!! read more

Food was okaybut it took a really long time to get our food. Only thing I didn't like about the food was the bread for my sandwich was like wet from whatever they were using on the grill. Not sure if it was butter or oil but super wet bread. I'd be willing to give it another try on a day it's not cold because the door opens up right to all of the tables. Not a great location to turn into a restaurant. read more

I'll try and keep this simple. I went into this restaurant with anticipation and left feeling disappointed. I spent $45 for portions that were "frugal" to say the least. I'm not a binge eater but I'd like to at least leave a restaurant feeling my hunger was satisfied. With that, the food wasn't anything extraordinary either (think typical Coney Island quality). I witnessed several flies landing on the prep areas behind the bar where food was actively being prepped. Why I didn't leave at that point was my own fault and yet I stuck around - big mistake. Although I applaud their employee pay system, I would very much suggest that you avoid this place. read more

this place has a lot of potential and could be really good and i've been wanting to try it for a long time, but i wasn't able to enjoy it as much because the experience i had was mediocre to annoying. i do like that this place has a little parking lot and the interior is super cute. when we first sat down, my friend ordered a black tea and when it came it was peppermint tea. my friend poured some and the peppermint smell was overwhelming even across the table. it wasn't very busy and she wanted the caffeine so she asked our server if she could have black tea instead, thinking it'd be a relatively easy fix. but our server told her that that was the black tea. she showed it to her and told her it was really minty and also didn't look or taste like black tea, and the server said that theirs was like that and had some flavoring. nothing to do but accept that so she just drank it. not a huge deal but set a weird tone for the rest of the time. i got the brisket hash and my friend got the egg sandwich. both were pretty good and my brisket hash had some stewed veggies, seemed like kale and root veggies, really tasty and vinegary, which i loved, but the brisket was kind of dry and the potato chunks were really big, which meant less flavor. the egg sandwich seemed fine but maybe something i could make at home easily (this is coming from someone who almost never cooks). also my eggs came out after the hash and i like that poached is an option and even the default but they were really undercooked. i'm fine with my yolk being completely raw and prefer it even, but the whites were also runny and boogery in texture, which was too straight up raw egg for me. our server also didn't really check on us or refill or waters. i think she was really nice and all but the experience just let something to be desired. maybe it was an off day though - i'm a waitress for a living and get that people can have off days. the last thing of discomfort was their tipping policy. they have a nice thing explaining on the menu that their workers are paid a fair wage but that tips are still gladly accepted. this was a weird mixed message since everyone's idea of a fair wage is different. do they make ten an hour? then i'd still want to tip normally. do they make fifteen? okay, then maybe i don't feel like i'd necessarily need to. it's hard to know what the norm is when they're simultaneously fighting the tipping culture and encouraging it. my friend did say that her other experiences here were better, but i can really only base it off this one. maybe i'll just come back after a while and it'll be a lot better. i do want to try the desserts some time - they looked really great but we had to go. read more

If only I could eat here everyday. Everything on the menu looked like it was as amazing as what I ordered. I appreciated also that the portions are sized for real life and not making me obese. I also enjoy knowing my staff is paid well. read more

Hi Guys, we live in the neighborhood and have driven past several times, only to drive on when we see a long line. This morning we stopped and have some things to say: 1. The odd waiting thing where they take your cell number and you go and wait in the car: We walked in, 3 empty tables and nearly vacant counter. Took our cell, told us to go back to our car. We did... hey I'm game for anything. 15 minutes later texted us and we went back in. Same vacant seats, sat us at the counter where we could've already sat 15 minutes before. So odd... 2. People are friendly but I have a sneaking suspicion the weird rules make them ready for an argument: Ordered water and a soda. 10 minutes later I figured she forgot the soda. So I leaned over and said, "I've changed my mind can I just get a coffee?" "Oh... well good thing I didn't make your soda yet." No apology. It's just awkward. 3. Food the good news: I ordered southwest breakfast. YUM!!! Great mix of southwest flavors. I mean I really liked it. 4. Food the bad news: My husband ordered the meat breakfast and really didn't like the smoked sausage or the biscuit. He said the biscuit was like sawdust. So that's it. I VERY MUCH appreciate the whole living wage thing. We gave a big tip too despite awkwardness because... well Karma. I LOVE that they are in our neighborhood and want to support them. In all honestly there's a good chance we won't be back because of the weird cell phone wait thing. I just don't want to be bothered and plenty of breakfast/lunch places around that we love. GOOD LUCK GUYS! :) read more

My friend and I heard so many great things about this place so we were excited to go in and check it out! We love to support local businesses but I must say I wasn't very excited when I sat down and looked at the menu. There were not to many options and everything seemed pretty over priced. I do love what they are doing. Nothing is better than a great neighborhood diner with good food and coffee but I don't think I would ever go back again. $30 is just to high for breakfast. read more

Rose’s - Pancakes and bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This place is very close to Belle Isle and the name made me wonder if it was a cafe inside of a grocery store?! Nope, it's just a small, hipster-y breakfast place. I feel like each step of the way here was a miss, most especially the cake we got for dessert! It was a beet chocolate cake that the server swore was incredible... it was the only cake left when we were there, so that should've led us to go somewhere else for dessert, but yeesh, it was not good. I was so excited to try a new Detroit place, but this one was just underwhelming! I tried their homemade soda which I didn't like either. The server was borderline unkind to our little group of 4. I wouldn't go back! read more

What a darling cozy restaurant! The food was excellent--- we felt like we were having a home-cooked meal with favorite relatives. We started the meal with dessert first, a crybaby donut and raspberry upside down cake. The coffee was hot and plentiful, and served to us almost as soon as we sat down. Our server was very attentive and impressed us by remembering the entire order for four people without writing anything down. We all ordered breakfast and my sunnyside up eggs were perfect, crispy and brown around the edges--the way I would love to be able to make them. The smoked sausage was excellent, covered with caramelized apples. Jon's pulled chicken and eggs rated a 10/10. Although we loved our breakfasts, we were jealous when we looked over at the generous fish sandwiches our neighbors were enjoying. Next time we'll try their "Up Stream" sandwich. We hope to be back in time for the seasonal pumpkin pie. We thought the prices were reasonable and fair for our generous helpings of delicious homemade food. read more
