Extremely cold service, wasn’t greeted or even acknowledged! Literally just a staring contest. Ridiculously overpriced. $5.50 for a mini cookie? $40 for a 8 oz jar of peanut butter that’s collected dust! All this in an establishment with dirty plates, tables, floors and countertops. I’m confused with all the positive reviews.

At Cafe Noir, you are immersed in a vibrant, chill atmosphere where the colorful surroundings create an instantly relaxing and artistic escape. The experience is defined by the modern outdoor seating area, which is beautifully framed by striking artwork painted directly onto the surrounding brick buildings.

Love this café. Love the design. They display local airwork on the white walls and there is a small art gallery next door. Good coffee, and the barista is nice, honestly I can't taste the differences between all the local café. Their croissant really stands out and makes a big difference compared to the others. They got them from Madeleines Patisserie, pretty popular patisserie that serve nationwide. It is flaky, not too buttery, texture is well done. The outdoor sitting behind the café is very creative. Looks like they are made from old water main pipe. Take a look at the pictures. Parking is on the street. There is no parking lot. And they are adjacent to some trash houses, an interesting contrast with the vibe of the café. Service can be a little slow sometimes, depends on who is working. There is 3% surcharge and 1.5%credit card fee now. ☹️

A lil pricy yet a great treat! I had a match latte with lavender. It was creamy, rich and delicious. My friend and I sat there for almost 3 hours talking. Peaceful atmosphere and the outside art is definitely a vibe.

Café Noir is truly a hidden gem in Detroit! I stumbled upon this quaint little coffee shop with my daughter, and it’s now one of our favorite spots to relax and study. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—perfect for getting work done or just enjoying a quiet moment. The barista was incredibly friendly and suggested the French Toast Iced Coffee with blueberries—and wow, it did not disappoint! Unique, flavorful, and refreshing. You can tell they put care into every cup. We'll definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
