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.

I was in the area and happened to stumble upon this low key spot. The staff was super friendly. I had the Mexican hot chocolate ☕️ and the burrito 🌯 both was great. I ended up hanging out for a while. Cool vibe would recommend and will definitely go again.

Alba is a cute, colorful cafe that brightened the mood on a cold and cloudy day. The matcha latte and Mexican hot chocolate were top-notch but the egg sandwich stole the show. I didn’t know an egg sandwich could be so good until I tried this one. Yum!
