Cafe Alto

Coffee is amazing. However, I’m dinging one star on service only because it’s Christmas Eve day, and I’m a Jew who wished a Merry Christmas, and got replied back with a Happy Holidays...on Christmas.
You can say Merry Christmas, on Christmas. Nobody gonna cancel you. Merry Christmas 🥂 🎄 🤶🏽

Their cold brew is excellent! They also have transient seasonal drinks and pastries (which sometimes include a vegan option!). The interior is minimalist, brightened by enormous windows, and offers counter-only limited seating (or a walk-up window). I have never had an issue finding parking, but it is exclusively city street parking. This is a great spot for a simple grab 'n go coffee experience in Detroit!

Great Lattes, nice environment, and good view! I had the Blueberry Coconut Latte and it was really good. Also enjoyed some food from Verna Detroit while they were doing a food pop up there.

This is an adorable mini modern cafe with plenty of greenery on the walls, five seats facing the windows, and a limited selection of food and beverages. It’s perfect for to go coffees with a pickup window right out front. Felix assisted me with picking my latte, I got the seasonal horchata latte and it was delicious and prepared with latte art. Great option with a little kick to it. I personally prefer more of a sit down cafe with plenty of seating options so I more than likely won’t stop by too often. However, if you like grab and go’s from small businesses or window seating for people watching, it’s worth checking out!
