The Congregation

Come see Gabby and let them craft your next espresso concoction! The vibe is strong, and the chill is deep. Whether you dine inside or out, you'll feel at home!

The Congregation reminded me of being on campus in Ann Arbor, but its in Detroit. They have an indoor area with a lot of people sitting around working on laptops and sipping coffee or tea. They also have a beautiful outdoor area too that looks like a small park (Pics included). I hear they have house music at times, but it was quiet during my visit. The food was ok. Had a decent turkey sandwich, but the menu is limited. You wont starve, but I wouldnt make a special trip just for the food. 14 dollars for a small turkey sandwich is a bit pricey. They could include chips with it or something but they dont. They also have a full bar. Overall it seems to depend on what day/time you show up that will dictate your experience. From quiet study time to a musical bar atmosphere.

The Congregation is such a welcoming, unique coffee shop. Friendly staff, delicious lattes, and pays homage to its original venue as a church in a cool way. Worth the stop just for the experience.

I just went for the first time and will be back again. The coffee I had-a cornbread cappuccino was amazing! I love the atmosphere. So many coffee shops have such a sterile aesthetic-bright lights, cold, hard chairs not warm and inviting at all. The Congregation has lots of seating and it’s so pretty inside. Can’t wait to go back!

Great coffee shop in Detroit. Former church adapted into a coffee shop. The Rectory (just behind on the same property) serves pizza as well. Drinks are excellent and they also offer some nice food selections as well
