The Congregation is such a welcoming, unique coffee shop. Friendly staff, delicious lattes, and pays homage to its original venue as a church in a cool way. Worth the stop just for the experience.

Man this place really lived up to the hype for me. Really beautiful coffee shop. Free parking. I got here at around 845am on a Tuesday. A handful of people sitting around doing work and customers coming in and out constantly. I got my latte within a few minutes of coming in.
Great coffee and pastries in a wonderful setting. The church was done justice. The outside seating was also very well done
The Congregation reminded me of being on campus in Ann Arbor, but its in Detroit. They have an indoor area with a lot of people sitting around working on laptops and sipping coffee or tea. They also have a beautiful outdoor area too that looks like a small park (Pics included). I hear they have house music at times, but it was quiet during my visit. The food was ok. Had a decent turkey sandwich, but the menu is limited. You wont starve, but I wouldnt make a special trip just for the food. 14 dollars for a small turkey sandwich is a bit pricey. They could include chips with it or something but they dont. They also have a full bar. Overall it seems to depend on what day/time you show up that will dictate your experience. From quiet study time to a musical bar atmosphere.
