Flyleaf

Stopped in for a few meetings and a bite and enjoyed everything about the experience! It's a hybrid bookstore, cafe, and cocktail bar and while I only got to enjoy two out of the three I really liked everything about it.The main floor houses the cafe which is where I spent most of my time. They were unfortunately having issues with their espresso machine so I went with the drip coffee and it was very nice. For lunch I had the potato mushroom quiche and it was excellent. I also had a bite of some of the frites and they were also very, very good. I would definitely get a side of those in the future! Our servers were so helpful and warm. I felt very welcome there. As it's a bookstore you're surrounded by so many interesting titles and things to peruse. The floors themselves aren't super big, with a lot of the square footage going vertical onto multiple floors. The dark hardwood detailing/decor leads to a really cozy but sophisticated vibe. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to linger and explore their shelves, but I will definitely be back. FYI--street parking is metered only and as far as I could tell only took coins. My friends, I never have change anymore. So I scrounged up about 25 minutes worth of nickels and dime and hoped for the best. Thank you to traffic enforcement for not swinging by during the following hour that I was expired. But I would not recommend tempting fate in such a way.

Really cute place & definitely come for vibes. I like to look at selections of books put out. Definitely come early for seatingCame here for an early dinner & got the steak frites & chicken on the menu. The steak was good, small portion. The chicken was not good, a bit dry & too much orange sauce, it was hard to eat, the carrots were undercooked. Just wasn't a fan of it. I also got the deviled eggs and that was okay for me. Definitely come for the drinks and vibe. Great place to hang & check out some books. But food was underwhelming, especially for the price.

Such a great experience! Tables are artfully scattered throughout the bookstore, and people browse freely while other diners enjoy their meals. Our party of three had the ginger carrot soup, which came in a generously sized bowl with bread on the side, French fries, which came with three dipping sauces (spicy ketchup, garlic mayo, and truffle mayo), and apricot chicken. The soup and the fries were outstanding; and the chicken was good, with a delicious sauce. We also had cocktails, which were delightfully named after Princess Bride characters.The book selection was on point for us, and each of us left with a novel.

Flyleaf Bookstore in Grosse Point has been on my radar for some time, and a recent book club meeting finally gave me the chance to experience its unique charm. The bookstore itself is a delightful space, with a cozy interior design that perfectly captures the essence of a literary haven. The private room, where we held our meeting, was particularly lovely, providing an intimate setting for our discussion.The cocktail and appetizer service was efficient, and our server was friendly and attentive. While the drinks were enjoyable, the food was a bit of a mixed bag. The deviled eggs, though visually appealing, lacked a bit of flavor. The limited menu, while offering some trendy options, might not satisfy everyone's palate.However, the biggest drawback to the private room experience was the lack of privacy. Other customers frequently wandered in, disrupting the flow of our meeting. This detracted from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere.Despite this minor inconvenience, I would definitely return to Flyleaf for another book club gathering. The cozy ambiance and unique setting make it an ideal spot for literary enthusiasts. Next time, I'll opt for a coffee drink and perhaps enjoy a meal elsewhere.

Enjoyed a lovely light lunch in such a warm and cozy space. The House Cut Fries were served with a trio of garlic aioli, spicy ketchup and truffle aioli and a smoked salmon brioche sandwich. The sandwich was layered with smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, tomato, red onion, dill and capers. The lavender mocktail was on point, made with ginger beer, lavender syrup and lemon juice.

Booty cheeks. If booty cheeks were a restaurant, it would be Flyleaf. Food was bad. People were rude. Avoid!

Hard to believe that anyone reads books anymore but if you were going to, this might be one of the most beautiful bookstores around. Gorgeous dark woods, beautiful seating, a gorgeous outdoor area, and books, so many books. Oh would you like to drink something caffeinated while you peruse the latest John Patterson? Coffee Check. Maybe get loaded and try to read something Twilightish or 50 Shades of Greyish. Cocktails check would you like to snack a little numnum while perusing the latest Rachel Ray cookbook? Also check What a wonderful find in GPF. I usually wait for the movie so the books didn't draw me in, but the ambience, the drinks and the snacks definitely did.

A very chic bookstore and bar. The decor is beautiful and they have a couple floors of books and also spaces to sit. I am not really sure how it works on all the floors to sit and order, they didn't really explain the options as far as that goes. The food and drinks are a little pricey but probably about average for being in Grosse Pointe. I wish there were a few more food choices. The deviled eggs my sister ordered were good, I do think it's fun they rotate the style of them. The French Fries were good, but I wish they had a variety of dipping sauces you could choose from. My espresso martini was excellent, probably the best thing I had.

This is my third or fourth time at the Flyleaf and I fall in love all over again each time. The ambiance is second to none, and the staff are super helpful and friendly. They didn't have service upstairs until later in the day, but after we ordered at the bar downstairs, they still brought our food to us, which was very nice. We sat on the rooftop, and it was gorgeous - one of the staff even turned on the fireplace for us without us asking :) I ordered the mediterranean orzo salad - light, tasty, and perfect for a summer afternoon. Flyleaf has to be one of my favorite places in town!

My friends and I have driven an hour to Flyleaf in GP twice now and both times have loved the food and atmosphere! In the Christmas time, it's adorably and seasonally decorated. The bistro/bookstore is 3 levels, the third level being the rooftop which was closed for the weather. However, there is pretty limited seating and because it's also a bookstore, many people stay and do work/read, creating long wait times to sit and eat. There is an automatic 20% gratuity included in the checks and the food is pretty pricey, but all delicious. Can't recommend the fries enough!! Definitely would suggest coming into the winter when it's all decorated!
