BasBlue Cafe

This is a beautiful space in a women's club in midtown Detroit. It's located in a restored 1800s mansion. I love that beautiful homes in Detroit are being given new life and that all of us can enjoy them. I had lunch with a friend here, and we enjoyed our meals. Simple but well-made grilled cheese sandwich and chicken caser wrap. We decided that this was a place we'd return to for a quiet lunch in a comfortable setting. One policy I'm unsure I'm on board with is the laptop ban between 11:30 am and 2:00 pm. A worker was asking people to close their iPads and laptops, which was overkill if you ask me. Everyone was being quiet and respectful. I can see how this will dissuade people from coming here at lunchtime if they can't do work on their laptops while enjoying their lunch.

I love this cafe! Busier and louder around lunch rush, but still has loud music playing even after crowd has dissipated. Despite being busy, the service was still quick and friendly from both the servers and the baristas! Very friendly staff willing to answer questions! I had the chai latte, and, this is why I am knocking down a star. I'd recommend getting something else- not my favorite.However, the curried coconut squash soup is incredible!! Tempted to give 5 stars just because of how delicious this is!! Overall I recommend this cafe if you have a bit more money to spend on food and drink, and prefer a friendly, social environment rather than a quiet spaceNote: this is a woman's club and upstairs is for members only, but you will have enough space downstairs with tables and couches available

What an adorable hidden gem! We were riding scooters around and on the search for a great coffee. Yelp pointed us in the right direction! The lattes were on point and the berry danish was warm and delicious. Wish we had a little spot like this closer to home!

Every event in this Yelp series is better than the next, actually they're all super awesome! I appreciate the work Nina and her team from The Love Experience add to each Monday night!The company is also great! I've made a few friends attending these events! I appreciate the hard work you put into making this happen!

I'm obsessed with this café. Very rarely do I find a café that ticks all of the boxes for me. There is an equal amount of sitting space for those who want to read and relax and for those who want to have a conversation with friends. My iced autumn spice latte was exceptional. Give the size of my drink, I also think this was a fair price (I spent $21 for the sandwich and latte, plus a tip). The baristas were also incredibly kind and helpful and super conversational which made me feel comfortable coming to a place I had never been to before. Speaking of which, I didn't know what the BasBlue foundation was before I came, and after reading about it, I definitely believe I will be coming back again to support an establishment with a great food and coffee and an even better mission.

I was very impressed for the minute that we walked in through the well-preserved door. We were greeted at the base of the grand staircase by young lady that directs you to the cafe. This building is a women's Club and the upper floors are for Members only or members and their guests. The cafe is quiet comfortable and definitely a beautiful space. I had the turkey melt and quite honestly I expected a small portioned sandwich with a large price. I was pleasantly surprised by a monstrous, tasty, reasonably priced meal. I know things are a little bit more expensive than they used to be pre-covid, so I won't say that this place is inexpensive however you do get bang for your buck. The staff was pleasant and very informative on the menu choices, there was no rush and it was a very nice experience.

I always love coworking at Basblu. They always give dope vegan options and the menu is ever changing which keeps me guessing what great food I'm going to grab during lunch after busy meetings. It's a great place to grab a bite and take care of business. Best of both worlds for the business babes

This is probably the best hidden gem in Detroit. Inside of a house in a neighborhood, the whole space has been converted into a cafe and co-working/office space. The cafe has amazing drink and food selections that are as tasty as they are visually aesthetic. I would recommend the french toast and the basblue latte. I am always in awe that the space actually exists and isn't talked about more, but every time I post, I always get friends replying and asking where I am. I would highly recommend coming here for brunch and working out of the cafe. It's a cool place to check out and definitely a unique and historic Detroit spot.

BEAUTIFUL space in the neighborhood. Each room has a different vibe. I love that it feels like I don't have to rush out of there, like a coffee house in the 90s. I love that this is a woman's consortium.

Will definitely be back if I have the chance. Came for breakfast with the family, and at first worried there wasn't much more than coffee and pastries. The menu is small, but it is divine. My daughter ordered the smoked salmon platter, which was beyond amazing. And the decor is gorgeous, classy, comfortable, but not stuffy. Staff was wonderful--friendly and gracious. Hope to repeat the experience soon.
