Such a cute coffee shop hidden in Detroit that I found on my last day in the city. Amazing cinnamon roll and avocado toast and each drink comes with a handwritten message!! Will definitely be back
The word that sums this quaint café..... CHILL. From the ambiance to the staff, this place has everything you want to let the hours fly. Coffee is divine. And don't sleep on that cinnamon coffee cake!
Well, this was a VERY pleasant surprise. I was definitely not expecting this little cafe I found online so be so cozy and aesthetic! I ordered a hazelnut oatmilk latte that came with a heart which was adorable! It was very smooth and delicious, the flavor was really rich! I also ordered a chocolate chip cookie warmed up, very soft and gooey. The baristas were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere DEFINES cozy. I almost fell asleep in the chair by the fireplace, there’s many seating options as well as two fireplaces, some greenery, and a whole other space for seating. Definitely want to come back!
A Culinary Delight: Avocado Toast and Decaf Cappuccino 😍☕️
Oh, what a treat to share my recent visit to this delightful café, where every bite and sip was a pure sensory pleasure! 🥑🍞✨
🍃 Avocado Toast on Whole Grain Bread 🍃
I indulged in their heavenly Avocado Toast, meticulously crafted on a foundation of whole grain bread. The moment I laid my eyes on it, a symphony of colors and textures unfolded before me. Each slice of bread embraced a generous, velvety coat of avocado perfection, catapulting my taste buds to cloud nine.
✨ The Perfect Toast 🥂
The whole grain bread was artfully toasted to perfection golden brown and crisp on the outside, yet marvelously soft on the inside. With every bite, a divine crunch and a gentle sweetness danced together, composing pure harmony in my mouth.
✨ A Symphony of Flavors 🎶
As I savored each morsel, my palate was serenaded by the delightful interplay of the creamy avocado and the meticulously balanced seasoning – a symphony conducted from the first bite to the last. The earthy and nutty undertones of the whole grain bread provided a subtle backdrop for the vibrant flavors to shine, ensuring an unforgettable taste experience.
☕️ Decaf Cappuccino with Oat Milk ☕️
To complement this extraordinary toast, I opted for their velvety-smooth Decaf Cappuccino with the richness of oat milk. The moment the cup touched my lips, it was love at first sip.
✨ A Perfect Pairing 💫
As the bold and robust flavors of the avocado lingered on my palate, the cappuccino swept in like a gentle breeze, perfectly complementing the indulgent journey. Its medium-bodied taste and seamless smoothness intertwined with the lingering flavors, bringing a harmonious conclusion to this extraordinary culinary adventure.
If you're looking for a symphony of flavors that will leave you spellbound, head to Awake Café @awakedetroit. Prepare for an enchanting experience that whispers poetry on your taste buds! 🌟✨
Praise God for this gem that I stumbled on today ❤️

A hidden gem off of 3rd street in Midtown!
People, I’m going to need you to venture a block or two off of Woodward and Cass to sample some of Detroit’s best eateries.
I had the pleasure of *literally* stumbling into Awake following a weekend morning run. Not only was their food tasty (I was a fan of my avocado toast and oranges + their delicious homemade granola bar) but the staff has actually started to create our running crew specialty items like Runners Toast (avo toast with egg) for some of our regulars. This friendly, home like atmosphere is felt the second you step foot in the shop.
We were told by the staff that Awake doesn’t have a singular owner and actually functions as a collective model which was really cool! And it’s always nice to support a local business rather than a large chain. The back room has a plethora of books and board games for you to try out as well as some comfy seating.
In sum, this is a great cafe/coffee shop but also just a really neat spot to hang out or meet up with friends.
Street parking is available.
This was first visit to this quaint cafe. The staff is very friendly and full of positive energy. The decor is simple, old style and airy. There are two dining/comfort areas. There’s seating to dine as well as sofa and comfy chair seating. The menu is simple, not unnecessarily overwhelming. I was going to get a carry-out but after finally finding a place to park (construction) and receiving such a warm welcome, I decided to dine in. I had an awesome conversation with a college student from Arizona who’s interning as part of her Cultural Diversity program. I enjoyed The Canfield sandwich and a Cold Chai beverage. Typically, I eat half of a sandwich and take the other half to go…I couldn’t resist eating the whole sandwich. When you eat real food, good food that isn’t filled with trash but better ingredients…I did not feel stuffed or uncomfortable at all. They also offer cookies, brownies and breakfast items as well as a small cooler with other beverages like ginger teas that are made locally. This cafe was definitely worth the parking inconvenience and the one block walk in the heat. I will definitely go back to try other menu items and repeat the same order as well. If you want a quaint, quiet place to eat and/or have coffee or tea, this is the place.
Loved this cafe in downtown Detroit! Excellent options on the menu along with coffee that definitely tastes much better than the coffee chains. Would highly recommend their Avocado toast with Mocha coffee.
They also have plenty of seating available, with interesting books along with excellent WiFi.
I stumbled on this amazing cafe this morning. The staff are absolutely wonderful and friendly. I ordered the Wake Up Late coffee with Almond milk and the Ford Breakfast Wrap. The gentleman educated me on the style of coffee I selected. Let's just say, he did not disappoint.😊 Now let's talk about this wrap! It was exactly I needed to get me on a healthy start this morning.
The ambiance was so peaceful. The space was clean and quiet. Great place to come study, work, etc. Oh, they also have board games.
This place is quite the hidden gem! Best cocktails in Detroit. Delicious coffee. The atmosphere is so cozy and beautifully styled. The service is absolutely stellar here- thank you so much to Alec for taking such great care of us on our anniversary!
It was giving cozy, homey vibes. ð Very peaceful & chill. There are games on the table: chess, checkers, tic-tac-toe. I had a banana nut muffin: yummy & moist. I also had the caramel bourbon coffee: exquisite. Iâll definitely be returning. Love
For Detroiters looking for their new favorite coffee spot, your search is over. This place is nothing like any of the local shops, easily one of the most beautiful coffee shops in Michigan. Coffee is excellent would recommend the DEM latte (their spi
Really cool place. The staff were very courteous. They have whole bean coffee and some merch. The cheesecake desserts, cookies, and muffins are great. I had the eggnog cheesecake, which was amazing. My wife had a chocolate cookie that they warmed up.
One of my favorite coffeeshops in detroit. Yummy drinks and rotating selection of quality local sweets. I love having a coffee in the sprawling spot lite. There's good energy and people drawn to this place.
Stumbled on this gem on google and I was not disappointed! They have this vegan pizza thatâs delicious. The coffee is just ok. There is a record shop next door and they keep the attached door open as they play records from the shop themselves. Grea
Really cool spot with a chic atmosphere and laid back vibe. Great location right downtown and itâs convenient for a quick coffee meeting as they have multiple semi private seating areas to use. The coffee was excellent and the barista was very frie
Wow. Love the atmosphere and the taste of the coffee. Try brown sugar latte. The taste of this coffee was excellent. The place is very cool inside. Upstairs, nice to relax and have that corktown smooth atmosphere experience. The staff was nice and h
The food here is absolutely unmatched. From the flavor to the quality to the service, everything was 10/10. Ali has an ability to treat strangers like family. This restaurant is unreal!! Do yourself a favor and order the Iraqi Kabob, by far the best
My first time to this studio and Faith was extraordinary. I appreciated her walking around the room and helping the class with adjustments. She had a great energy and presence. I enjoyed the paint color and ambiance of the studio room. The class
Great concept and use of space. Fragrance shop during the day and cocktail bar at night. They match the flavours of the cocktails with their signature scents which is a pretty cool idea. The cocktails we tried were all great and they did work well wi
Took alot of pictures. 1st time there. Very peaceful. So many violets inside. Beautiful art work of the wooden altars. Super good bakery items....and nice gift shop. Wish I lived closer. I'd be there alot volunteering and in the bakery!!! Lol
Today, I experienced my first George's Saturday morning spin class. The Beyonce Renaissance theme brought together silver, shine, and sweat in a workout like I haven't had in ages! The class kicked off punctually, and the energy remained consistently
I recently visited âTime Will Tell,â and it was a fantastic experience. The bartender was not only knowledgeable but also cool to chat with. The drinks were absolutely badass, and the atmosphere exuded a classic and nice vibe. A must-visit for a
French cow is really a gem of the Eastern Market. If you live in or near Detroit, breakfast or brunch at the French Cow at the Eastern Market (in Shed 5) is really a treat. It is my go to on a Saturday morning at the Market.
I recommend getting to
Love this place. The food is always good and it's truly prepared from scratch. Customer service is always good. I love seeing the pepper garden in front of the store. Very pleasant environment. Only place I will eat jack fruit from! Nobody else can c
Hands down, the absolute best experience I've ever had at a clothing store. The gentlemen here will take care of you. Expert fashion advice, flawless alterations, and the utmost top of the line customer service! They have what you need to have you
Went in close to them closing and they were amazing! Didn't seem to bother them one bit. We tired a few different flavors before picking the one we wanted. The coffee was also just as amazing as the gelato.
