    While visiting Detroit I stopped here when we had time to kill before our Motown tour. The shop is nice, with a decent amount of seating for its size as well as a lot of grocery options and parties. My almond milk latte was good quality and hot, which I appreciate. The girl that took my order was being trained so she struggled a bit but she was friendly. I would return here and recommend. It's a cute local shop and I was happy to support.

    Such a hidden gem. Adorable place to sit for a coffee and people watch. Great service and excellent coffee. Cute little store inside as well.

    Hot chocolate

    Big picture window filled with plants and art where you can sit and sip. Wooden pharmacy shelves filled with a delightful assortment of pastries. Hot chocolate was amazing and worthy of the hype. They have day old cookies for sale that I recommend buying. They tasted fresh to me. Friendly barista worked nonstop. I love that it is truly a neighborhood spot and one I would visit every day if I lived there.

    This is a wonderful little coffee house and market! They have lots of good stuff to eat here, so stop in and meet the owner as he's regularly on site. The breakfast croissant sandwiches are unmatched!! Locally made and owned products are also readily available for sale. It's a quiet little place and it's perfect for a coffee date, reading, or getting some work done. Go! You'll love it!

    Owner is so sweet and the desserts are delicious! Love coming here! Cute neighborhood spot for those trying to get away from the downtown buzz.

    Beautifully preserved fixtures mixed with new rustic-looking charm. The place is spotless.

    Best customer service in Detroit. The owner will learn your name and make your dream cup of coffee. Family and dog friendly with free water for all.

    Terrible business. Dont allow people to use their wifi even if they're buying something. How are you even a cafe?

    I purchased a hot chocolate made with oat milk topped with marshmallows and whipped cream along with a red velvet muffin and chocolate pecan cookie for later.

    This market used to have a cat. He'd usually be sitting on the front register chilling. That alone…read morewould be enough to vault it up into five star territory. It used to have a produce section, right in front of the front windows, a space now occupied by stacks and stacks of La Croix cases. I'm no fan of La Croix and I eat an apple and/or a banana most days but I can imagine how the current arrangement is working out better for their bottom line. They used to have kombucha on tap, something that had been sitting unused for awhile and was just recently removed. That was just laughably hipster to me. I'll drink kombucha in the bottle sometimes, which MM still has in their fridge, and I just had to wonder, do you really need kombucha on tap? Obviously, it turns out you don't. This market is on the small side, just packed with stuff, and they stay open late. It's what I imagine a New York City bodega is like. They have more energy drink selections than anyone should need and a very Detroit amount of blunt wraps behind the register. Backwoods and the like take up most of that wall. MM has the same mediocre prepackaged sandwiches, wraps and pasta salads as Marcus Market and I feel like I should know the name of the company that puts them together by now. For convenience sake I often grab em as sustenance on the way to work. They're nothing special but they get me through the day. Midtown Market has nowhere near the floor space, selection or general charm of Marcus, though, and it actually felt disloyal to use the abbreviation MM to refer to Midtown Market earlier in this review. They're friendly enough here, but me and the Marcus crew go way back and again, no cat is hurting this young upstart here. The thing is, Midtown Market is a little less out of my way going into work and that crucial five minutes can make me late, so I often find myself in here. Midtown Market ain't bad for what it is, they have a few staples here but if you're looking for more of a full on grocery store (with freshly made smoothies and tacos during certain hours) try the neighborhood OG market like 3 blocks away.

    It doesn't matter what you are looking for. This local market has it all! Everything from snacks to…read morecool refillable lighters, they have it. The store is small but there is something for every need. It's not far from Wayne State's campus so this is the perfect area for a little market. The clerks are friendly and always responsive. Go often and also pick up locally-baked treats from there!

    Indian spices/prepackaged foods, convenience store goods, some staple groceries…read more Newish location for this oldish area favorite (on Wayne campus, just north of Warren at Anthony Wayne - parking can be a pain in the ass during class hours). A place to find whole and ground spices prevalent in Indian cuisine, in addition to ghee, many oil, rice, and flour options, and a large variety of prepackaged and quick-to-prepare Indian stovetop kits (I don't really care for these items, when making your own homemade dinners takes less than an hour in most cases - but if really pinched for time and craving certain flavors, have at it). You can also get convenience store dependables (junk foods, pantry tins/jars, plastic cups/cutlery, etc), and eggs, milk, butter, and a few kinds of produce in the back (i noticed okra). Where Meijers failed me (in my hunt for mustard seed oil and chick pea flour), Little Asia Mart saved the day. Worth taking a peek around.

    Expensive little place, taking advantage of the fact that they are on campus…read more I don't want to criticize them for their approach towards business, as they make it easy for students without cars and other transportation to have access to Indian and other Asian food and vegetables. However, they do have. Very limited stock and the prices keep on increasing as months are passing by. The staff is friendly and helps you navigate through. The place is a bit too small to hold up more than what it already does. Vegetables are normally fresh and I have never had any issues with the things I have bought here. But a gallon of milk $4.95 is a bit too much considering university foods sell it for $3.95 which is about 0.5 mile away. They do have other convenience store items here as well.
