Black Coffee Cafe

Great service! What a great place! This corner coffee spot is inviting from the inside out. The outdoor murals and seating is eye-catching and eclectic. When you walk in, there are warm hues- African-inspired art, good music, books, and great seating. My caramel latte with coconut milk is delicious. I also ordered a mini sweet potato pie. There are many pastry options and it smells wonderful inside.

Quick, kind service with aromatic coffee. It smells so good in here! My coffee was made perfectly and their cheese danishes are extra flaky with some light syrup glaze on top. Added that extra but still subtle sweetness. Cute aesthetic with decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is so unique with benches in circular booths. Great for groups. Street parking is plenty and it's not metered, which is a plus. Definitely would come back!

I loved everything about my first trip to BCC. First off, I found it on accident while I was on my way somewhere else. From the moment a gentleman opened the door for me and said, "Welcome in," I was sold. It's a warm and stunning coffee bar and coworking space, hell a whole vibe space. It's humming with culture from the art on the walls to the people. I had egg and cheese croissants and I'm thinking about desert too. He cracked and scrambled those eggs so good the sandwich never had a chance . The service ,coffee (oatmilk latte with lavender syrup), the food and energy, everything was on the money with this space. I will be back

I'm giving this place five stars because of its potential and because I want it to succeed but if I were being honest I'd probably give it 4 stars.I really liked the vibe of this cozy, modern, African-centric cafe nestled in a row of shops in the North End neighborhood. When we went about two weeks ago they had a food menu (something cafe-y like pastries, breakfast sandwiches or burritos... I don't remember) but we were told they didn't have food yet because they were still opening the shop. I got the vibe at the time that the barista meant they were still opening the shop in general, like it's a relatively new location, but in hindsight maybe she just meant for the day? Regardless, they had a food menu but no food yet. No biggie.I can't drink caffeinated coffee so I like to order a decaf mocha. They couldn't do decaf espresso drinks though so I ordered a decaf pour over. It was strong but good -- tasted like the ones I make at home. My husband got an oat milk latte but was a little bummed to find, upon sipping it, that it was sweetened oat milk. He prefers his latte to be unsweetened. I realize these are two pretty specific needs/preferences on our part - needing decaf espresso and unsweetened milk. Your average coffee drinker will probably walk away completely satisfied with their drinks. I'm just including these details here in case you have our same, fussy needs.Overall, though, the cafe seems like a nice addition to the area, to Detroit, and we will be going back to support it and to see if there's food next time :)

Step in the shop and the atmosphere will transform your day. Coffee even not beating everybody around but decent taste with great army of good equipments for great coffee. Keep it up, make good coffee and ppl will recognize your effort. Cheers!

The location is great, the interior and exterior are beautiful and they've done a good job making it feel community oriented and welcoming. The coffee was good! Our barista was a bit easily confused and not the friendliest on the planet but they made a good latte and got the job done which is what matters most to me. They were playing music by Black indie artists when we were there which was cool.

1st time visiting black coffee cafe while on a search to find a spot in the area. It was an inviting space and had a very nice vibe. The woman behind the counter was very friendly. I ordered a chai tea latte as I don't drink coffee while my sister ordered a mocha. I enjoyed my drink however it was waaay to hot. After leaving the cafe I was unable to drink it for at least 20 minutes because it was extremely hot. The sister experienced the same heat with her mocha. I would visit this location again with the mention to the barista to request of the water temperature.

Beautiful space with local artists featured on the wall. I had an iced latte and a sandwich and both were delicious and thoughtfully served (great presentation and really nice staff)

Lovely service. Best flat white of my life. Charming pastry options, and the cake we chose was excellent. BF got a cold brew, which he enjoyed. The inside has a very comfy but small relaxation area, and a handful of nice, window-lined bar seats. We stayed outside where there's lots more seating. Please come enjoy this jewel and bring only your goodest vibes.

Stylish, cozy spot for hot drinks, meetings, and pastries. Indoor and outdoor seating, in a nice walkable area.
