I stopped in while walking from an event to grab a caffeine run for the group. They had both hot and cold drink options, but it was a chilly day, so we stuck with the warm stuff—plenty to choose from. While they didn’t have a few things I’ve seen at their Ferndale location, everything we got was solid. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area. Nice little spot right off the Greenway.

This is an insanely delicious coffee spot. But that's not all. Everything is fresh and hand made. Perfect texture biscuits. When we shopped they had 3 homemade syrups. I got a dry vanilla cappuccino and it was one of the best flavored and balanced I've ever had. Thank you for the great service! Also got to sample the peach Bellini. It was awesome. Instead of an overly forward prosecco base the drink was a wonderful peach nectar flavor. 10/10

I’ll still give it 5 stars as it is my favorite place to post up and work in Detroit but I really miss when they were open later on Friday and Saturday and the fun events they would have. The atmosphere and really big windows got me through last winter which was a particularly rough one for me. Love the food options neighboring and their treats are always yum. Great staff that typically play good music and are patient with my coffee refills (which are free if you don’t get your drip to go). Miss also being able to have a drink after a hard few hours of work and a lot of drip coffee. I feel bad commenting about the changes as I know they already sold their liquor license and there is no going back as I suppose the later hours were not sustainable. But I’d definitely go more if it was open later! Generally wish there were more options like how this Red Hook was last winter in the city.

Had such a great experience here! The staff were so welcoming and helpful and the latte was truly one of the best I’ve had. Really cute space inside and a lovely patio outside as well!

Great experience with the cashier and barista! Visited yesterday approx 4p. Both were very patient with me while we reviewed the menu and placed our order, as this was my first time here. If you want great beans and customer service visit this location!

Very nice coffee shop with delicious blackberry tart, good chai lattes, and obviously coffee. Lots of seating and great service.

They have great coffee and a great selection of treats! My favorites are the pop tarts, scones, and quiche which all rotate seasonally. My favorite Detroit coffee shop.

Red Hook’s newest location fills a much needed cafe void east of downtown. Their expansive menu of coffees, teas, and pastries does not disappoint. Beautifully designed indoor space, lovely outdoor seating, and a friendly staff team add to the experience.
