Adorable quaint coffee spot! The cinnamon mocha was absolutely delicious! They also have a vinyl records and book nook for customers to enjoy!

Quaint shop. Old brick. Friendly service.Coffee isnt very good here, but the place is nice, unique, and has a little studio where you can listen to vinyl records.

Good coffee shop and vibe. The baristas are really flexible and will modify your drinks. The barista made me a classic macchiato :)The sweets were also satisfying. We tried their brownie and their oatmeal cookie.

First time there. The place was super chill. Perfect sprinkling of people throughout the shop, with a mix of people studying and others hanging out conversating. The entire scene reminded me of a trendy coffee shop from name a current tv show. It was all, very, picture-ess.The mocha I ordered tasted fantastic and was delivered to me at a perfect temperature. Overall their menu was on the smaller side but I imagine they perfect the free items they server.

I love the ambiance of this place. Looks like a great place to read a good book and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

Absolutely love this place! The hibiscus tea is my favorite. It’s a really relaxing place to get a quick bite or get work done. I work near by and I imagine this becoming my new place to get away.Extra stars for always having the best music!!

The best coffee house in Midtown. Great vibe in-house with cool music playing, cozy seating, free WiFi, and of course, great coffee drinks. Also sells vinyl records with a listening room to check out some of the great albums in stock. Customers can also buy whole bean bagged coffee (get it ground while you relax in the shop), coffee shop swag and products by other local artists. They have nice little patio seating area outside in spring, summer months and also have Open Mic nights every Friday around 6:30 pm. Can hear some interesting local talent, and see works of art on display by local artists. A community - oriented local business with friendly staff.

I love this place so much. They have spice hot chocolate like no other. The atmosphere is also so welcoming and inclusive. Baristas are always so nice and kind. Great place to do some studying. Also, they have board games and stuff so brining your friends is an awesome idea. Defiantly recommend.

A really nice local spot, welcoming and cozy. Emphasis on cozy, tables and seating are limited. Reasonable prices, quality coffee, good service. Also quite involved in the local community, so it can be a great placed to meet Civic minded people.

This review is not critiquing the space or the vibe although those were both just fine. This is a review of their absolutely Stellar espresso production and methods. I only ever drink straight shots with a touch of coffee, which means if people arent doing it right or putting care into what theyre doing I notice. This was the best cup Ive had since I left the Portland area. This is one of the best two coffee shops we have in the whole metro area. Staff was extremely warm and friendly as well.

Cute, neighborhood coffee shop with great hours. It’s pretty quiet in the mornings and great for studying. A lot of WSU students can be seen here in the early afternoons. Only downside is the ice coffee is a little too weak but otherwise I’ve always had positive experiences

Funky and righteous, a mere three steps down from the Third Street Sidewalk, I left a suspended coffee for you. Any kind soul can for two dollars, recorded on a chalk board by the counter. A lot of homeless get a cuppa this way, so close to the rescue mission on Cass. Open to all means open to those without means to pay, thanks to suspended coffees.For fun, drink your coffee outdoors in a narrow outdoor cafe between buildings. Spin vinyl, borrow a book or game from the patio set aside for sharing.The bottom line could use some help. Flapper on the toilet has worn and thus, the tank doesnt fill and water goes down the drain. A set of planters began as a nice idea but has gone to weeds. I should have pulled the weeds. Maybe Ill go back tomorrow.The Bottom Line is the community takes care of the Bottom Line.

Interesting, if can find it. Ala fresco is a couple steps up from the garden level coffee shop, in a narrow side of the building. Quickie but interesting and very good coffee.

Awesome space, very kind people, you feel comfortable being from any walk of life. Truly conscious staff, the shop is very socially responsible and seeks to create a safe space for all. Loved their coffee and lattes, everything I’ve tried has been great!

Absolutely phenomenal in every single way. Excellent coffee. Wonderful people. Lovely atmosphere. Wouldnt ask for anything more for a good place to meet or study. PS the cardamom latte is to die for.

Bar none best coffee shop in the Detroit area. Great staff. Yummy coffee. Cool decor. Plenty of seating and outlets. Interesting and kind regulars. Owners SINCERELY care about the surrounding community. SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE.

Cozy, comfortable, and quiet. The staff is friendly and happy to chat with customers at the bar. This is definitely my new favorite place to get some work done in the city! Its also easy to get to and has a lot of free street parking close by.

My friend took me here, and this spot was awesome! Warm and cozy tucked in the basement with Wayne State students writing papers, a small library, a vinyl record collection and player, and some great tea!Definitely worth your time.

Excellent selection of coffees, teas, and a cozy atmosphere.

Really nice, clean place with a gender neutral toilet. Warm atmosphere, great service and delicious coffe and tea for sale. The tea you can buy to take home. My favorite is femme power! They have a cute book reading section too. Also love the black lives matter sign and the pride and trans flags there. Truly feel comfortable and at home.

I love this little place. It feels like a secret lair. The coffee is definitely not amazing and the prices are high, but I just love the feel of the place so much that Im still giving it 4 stars. If the coffee were improved, this would be the best coffee shop on campus.

The atmosphere here was very homey. Like it was hip without trying too hard. Its also owned by a person in the LGBTQI Community which I love as a lesbian. The only reason Im not giving it five stars was because the coffee tasted gross because I think it was an old pot.

Nice cozy cafe with friendly staff. vegan options and nice wall art

So I had really high hopes for this place especially since the line is always crazy when Im in the parking lot. I got a regular size taro with honey boba and even thought he boba was perfection as well as the sweetness level there were bits of grittiness at the bottom. Not a deal breaker but Ill probably try other boba options in the area before coming back a second time. I came back the following week for a tea and it makes up for the taro.

Amazing environment, James is a great Barista the art is incredible as well. I e purchased books as well as limited number prints from this establishment. Big surprise for me was the great tea selection along with open mic night on Fridays.

Topnotch coffee shop one of the best in the country top 50 hands down.

Very cozy and great place to work or just sit and chat. Staff was super friendly. My latte was great, and also had a bagel.

A niche in the Cass Corridor. Newer, but with that old community feel. Great coffee, all kinds of people discussing politics and making plans. Tucked away in the basement of the Beethoven Apartments, but with window light from the street. A small, special place.

The Bottom Line is basically the best. Good coffee, reasonable prices, nice staff, and a comfortable chill environment. If you are going to other coffee shops in the Midtown area, youre doing it wrong.

A very calm and modern area where you can feel relaxed. The coffee here is delicious and the baristas are all amazing people.

The tip jar says money is the root of all evil

Lived around the corner for years. Glad I finally tried it. Met a professor here for tea and it was perfect!

Past: The coffee is a nice place to meet up with friends, and that’s where it earns its 4 stars. Very laidback, informal atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and chill. Staff is ok.The made to order coffees however have kind of fallen since I’ve been visiting it. They state they can’t make a non-dairy cappuccino, and when other coffee shops that do are brought up it’s said that those are amazing coffee spots. Even then, their espresso drinks are either too weak or just not well done.I would recommend stopping by for the community, but stick to a French press or drip coffee.Update: this place has really changed they don’t really have alternative milk options, and the staff outside of the core owners has become a bit apathetic. I’ve noticed there’s been some changes so hopefully it gets better. Stick to straight coffee and teas.

Great place for coffee and pastries. Would be a good place for students to study. Only con is the slow service because of small staff.

Really sweet lil shop in midtown that is great for studying and an occasional lavender latte

Its part underground art scene, part social action, part living room. Refugees are welcome here. The have fair trade organic Sumatra. I like the sage tea. Chocolate cupcakes dusted with sugar. Friday open mic is packed.

It was a GOOD, Quiet place to both get some writing done and to chill. I really Enjoyed the Open Mic Poetry as well :-)

Interesting place, in interesting neighborhood. They are making good coffie. Recommended.

Awesome place to hangout with friends or study alone. Altogether a peaceful and calm place to sip coffee and spend good time.

Nice and cozy. Most importantly, good music. The everything croissant looks delicious, didn’t try it though.

Chai Tea Latte is the best Ive ever had! My first time here was during a Friday open mic night and that immediately lead me to love this place. Awesome atmosphere and great place to study.

One of my favorite cafes in the city by far. It has a lovely atmosphere and cute little alley you can tuck away in. The matcha 🍵 lattes and americanos are on point. Service is usually very friendly, they have poetry nights on Fridays and have rotating exhibits of local artists.

Hip little coffee spot. You can sit in the alley ehich is nice. Good ambiance.

I usually come when there is an open mic or performance. The atmosphere is nice and casual. The coffee and teas are great. My favorite orders have been the hibiscus tea and Chai latte. Their teas are great because they use loose leaves and put them in tea bags as opposed to prestored teas, that are typically crushed remains and not flavorful. Their hibiscus is literally the dried whole hibiscus flower.

The atmosphere of this place is so incredibly chill, the tea blends are to die for, and the baristas have the most interesting personalities. i highly recommend The Bottom Line for dates, hangouts, or just having alone time to work/chill!!

What a great little coffee shop in a hidden basement of a small building. The best thing about this place is that the staff is not pretentious, unlike a few other places in the city... and they also have suspended coffee where you can buy a coffee for some future patron who cant afford one. The only downside to this place is that it can get a bit crowded and stuffy on open mic nights.

They had a puppy in there and it was the hightlight of my experience lol aside from the whole place it was really chill and really good coffee

Excellent atmosphere and friendly staff at this little underground gem. Lots of coffee and tea choices, along with some really good pastry items.

Great place. Awesome customer service

Not a large space or selection of teas/coffees . But it is a quaint, neighborhood coffee house. Perfect for a meet up with a friend.

A place where college students and young professionals gather. Lots of atmosphere, and different nationalities. A pleasant experience!

A very cool place. Great coffee. Small and intimate. Love it!

Very clean. The style is modern and comforting. The drinks are of very high quality.

The one time that I went there, it was pretty cool. It had a funky Portland, Oregon vibe and the coffee was good. Alas, it seems to have gone the way of the dodo.

Its never open. I have walked there in the snow and now today in the rain. Good luck running a business without regularly scheduled hours of operation.

Ive been a few times and maybe Ive had bad luck, but the lattes were as tasteless as Bigbys. The place is cozy but the people are creepy. I only noticed the tranny flag after having been in there.. wouldve been a giveaway. Between the politics and the coffee I nearly choked. I really wanted to like this small, neighborhood business, but I prefer my coffee without gender fluid.

Best coffee shop in midtown, one of the real true authentic cafés in the area, very quite and laid back non superficial and welcoming to anyone willingly ready to adapt to the Detroit culture :)

Cozy atmosphere, great mocha and friendly staff. I love their decorations and also those two seats next to the window!

Cool place.. though wz there on a Saturday morning.. dont know how vibe is on busy nights.. Friday, Saturday night I hear..

I usually love this place, but there iced chai is terrible. It tastes like sweetened milk. Absolutely no chai flavor.Old Review: Good coffee. Good prices. Hip and comfy.

I used to go there ofter but now overtime I try to go there they are under construction or out of energy. I wish they were more consistent with their service. This is one of the few spots that are genuine around the area.

Great espresso, tea, and atmosphere. Really great, always interesting people. It quickly became a regular place for me.

Love it. Really cozy and the people who work there are really sweet. Plus the chocolate is great lol

Friendly staff, small intimate space, and interesting people to watch/run into/connect with. I came here for a standup comedy show by Minori Hinds, oh my, amazing! They have poetry reading sometimes.

If you like smug progressive privileged degenerates who take this neighborhood for granted and have no idea what it was like to grow up in cass corridor when it was a forgotten cess pool of poverty, then you have come to the right place. I grew up here, had brothers die here and now its full of well to do progressive identity lacking white kids screaming about muh privileges as they live in 1500 dollar a month lofts listening to hipster music.

I visited this place late on a Sunday. About 45 mins before closing time (9.00 PM).The coffee was OK. They had limited options on the menu. I had a Chai Latte with an espresso shot. It was a bit too sweet for my taste overpowering the flavour of the coffee.They had beautiful art by local artists for sale along with a collection of old Vinyl discs.The decor is artsy and fresh . The shop is LGBTQ friendly.PS: When they close the shop they play music to let the customers know that its time to leave. They blared it up to full high volume which ruined our groups experience here. Just the music alone would have been a great way to let us know it was time to leave.

Highly disappointing. The barista was friendly and helpful, however the coffee was weak and the latte had way too much milk in it.

Very cute and feels like a secret hangout.

Great coffee, but not very much seating, and gets very political before you even enter the building.

Warm friendly environment and excellent coffee. What else could you want from a coffee shop!

I love this place. I hope to become a regular.

Homey digs, right here. Hidden gem of Detroits coffee scene.

Wanted to do some work through the extended time of 11pm, and I get here for the first time and they abruptly close at 9pm. NOT COOL.

Very good coffee! Nice workers too, very friendly.

Awesome open mics. Really cool spot.

Every time I come here its a powerful experiance

My neighborhood shop and I love it more than words can express.

Queer enclave on WSUs campus that hosts live music on fridays, poetry during the week, and has terrific coffee and pastry items. Def a place to support! Cozy, fast wifi, friendly staff!

Da bomb, tight little hidden gem! go, dont regret yo, word is bond bro!

Tucked beneath an apartment building - dont miss it when driving by. Semi-depressed neighborhood like almost all of Detroit with lots of parking. A couple of couches, two bars with a total of 8 or so seats, one long table, a little sunroom with 2 easy chairs -- very odd collection of seating. Old rock (Prince at the moment) on the audio. Several outlets. Wi-fi with posted password. Local art on walls. Small collection of loose leaf teas. Small collection of mediocre pastries. Pay it forward coffee with quite a lot stockpiled. The barrista asked if I was a musician, and said I looked like one. I almost gave it five stars for that.

Hey! So Google is getting directions wrong for this place. Not sure why. Theyre nice though and have pastries!

Great atmosphere, lovely baristas.

Worst coffee shop ever. Some crazy woman accused me of staring at her and I got kicked out before I even finished my drink, plus a guy sitting in the corner got in my face making threats towards me and he was treated like a hero.

Amazing coffee with a very warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing little coffee shop with a great atmosphere and good tea.

Prices a bit high but otherwise great experience!

Awesome shop with a cool vibe. Great french press!

Cute atmosphere, delicious coffee, fun flavor options, and the best smelling handsoap ever in the gender neutral bathroom! 😍

Beautiful, chill hang out place, with an awesome outdoor seating section between buildings.

Good coffee, great atmosphere and a decent supply of electrical plugs. If youre looking for a study spot for a few hours this is the place.

Loved coffee and ambience of this place!

Friendly staff great coffee and sandwich

Good coffee, but expensive. The space is pretty cool, go for the experience, stay for the coffee.

Excellent staff and great community. This place really ties the room together.

Classic spot - cant go wrong here

Great place on Fridays for open mic night!

A nice little hidden gem of a coffee shop!

Great coffee!! Hip decor!! Great service!!

Quiet low key coffee shop, its worth the trip

Nice place to hang out. Overpriced with limited options.
