Cred Cafe: Detroit's cozy coffee shop with a hidden speakeasy and lounge.
Cred Cafe at 6340 E Jefferson Ave, Detroit, MI 48207 blends coffee shop charm with a hidden speakeasy. Guests can access the speakeasy Say Less and a lounge behind the bar—often with a warm welcome from staff like Terrell the bartender. The moody, intimate vibe pairs with crowd-pleasers like jerk wings, and weekend events add to the scene, though some note higher entry and drink prices and occasional sports on large screens.

I think the vibe of this place really depends on the promoter/DJ that night. On this particular Saturday night, there was a great DJ and the age group was older - 30 and up I'd say. $20 entry, $15 drinks, and $50 for 4 seats in a loungy type space with a couch, chairs and a table. We started out a bit early, arrived around 10, and could sit for free, but once people started showing up for their reserved spaces around 11:30, we got kicked out and had to get our own space. There was one server I think, but mostly, you order drinks at the bar. A little pricey for a chill lounge type spot, but the drinks were good pours, the bartenders were friendly, and the crowd was chill. A bit of hustle dancing, but people mostly sitting. I like the look in here, but I think it would be much better if the lights dimmed more after 10. It was definitely too bright. I also kind of hate the big screen TVs if it isn't a sports-related party. Like, get some music videos up there or rotating art or something. TVs with commercials was not the vibe. I think with a fun group of friends, this place is a good time. There is a free dirt parking lot that isn't too jenky, and security was cool. I liked the energy of the crowd.
