  • Restaurant inspection results are kept by the city or county health department; many publish them online or post the latest grade at the door.
  • For table service a tip of 15–20% is customary; at counter-service places tipping is optional.

The coffee and vegan based pastries are delicious! I got a Pandan iced latte and it was amazing. Cozy atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff was wonderful :)

Holy cow I wish I lived in Detroit so I could come here daily (and had more disposable income to do so!). The egg sandie IS the best egg sandwich I have ever had, the other reviews don’t lie, and worth the $9 to experience it at least once. The Americano was flavorful even after it got cold (I took it to go) later, which speaks to the quality of the beans and barista). The staff were understanding of my complete exhaustion when trying to order while adjusting to time zone changes and DST, and super kind and welcoming. Super cute space too, I would love to just sit here with a good book or a friend for hours.

Alba is my absolute favorite neighborhood coffee shop in Corktown. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by stunning local artwork that transforms the walls into a gallery, with vibrant paintings that spark great conversations. The exposed brick walls, cozy seating areas with charming ladder-back chairs, and thoughtful details like dried flower arrangements create the perfect blend of rustic charm and refined comfort. Their pastry game is very unique and full of variety - from flaky croissants to concha bread, everything is beautifully presented and tastes even better than it looks. The impressive variety means there’s always something new to try, and you can tell they put real care into every detail, right down to how they wrap their famous Alba egg sandwich (which is insanely addictive). This isn’t just a coffee shop - it’s a community hub where you can sit and read or just chill for hours and feel completely at ease. The baristas are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like you’re being greeted by old friends. Alba has mastered the art of creating a space that feels both polished and unpretentious, making it exactly the kind of local business that make
