What a great cafe! The owner and staff are quite hospitable. The space is attractive and cozy. The Roost offers coffee, tea, breakfast options and wine tasting events. It also looks like a great place to hang out on a spring or summer day. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Such a quaint little coffee ☕️ shop tucked on a side street in Detroit. The barista was super friendly and helpful. The coffee was absolutely amazing. Plus they have a cute little market and some tables for chatting it up. They make you feel super welcome. The vibe is amazing.

Best hot chocolate I ever had in my whole life (over 60 years :). Great neighborhood atmosphere. The BLT sandwich and egg frittata both delicious and served with fresh salad or excellent fresh fruit.

This is one of my favorite cafes in Detroit. The food and drinks are delicious and reasonably, and I love the communal seating arrangement. Laptops are not allowed, so bring a book, or chat with neighbors. I appreciate that it’s dog-friendly too.

It's a cute local coffeeshop with bakery items. Coffee is pretty good, and my pastry was very good (one note: please ask before heating if people want that). The staff I met were polite and helpful. Ask about the extra breakfast items not in the case-- some good looking breakfast items like waffles may be available. Important note: If you are someone who works from home and likes to support local businesses during your workday, they make it VERY clear that working there is not welcome at all with big signs on the bench by the window, and I couldn't tell if that applied to the big table in a back room or sitting outside on the patio. I wish I'd read previous reviews before I walked to the 20 minutes to support them while visiting the area. I understand it's a small space, so I don't blame
