Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Windsor

"Bobbing and weaving to meet the changing needs of the neighborhood, Folk has become a go-to during the pandemic for everything from sausage rolls to rolls of toilet paper. The cafe and micro market has installed a walk-up window for safer, more convenient service and features an online shop for pre-ordering groceries, beer and wine, as well and a rotating menu of breakfast and lunch items. Limited outdoor seating is also available."

"FOLK is offering a bunch of fabulous goodies for Valentine’s Day this year and will be collaborating with a bundle of friends to bring customers sweet treats and surprises for you, yourself, your pals, or whoever it may be!. Fat Love Bundles are available for pre-sale now for pick-up February 14 and February 15. Boxes can be customized with the choice of Charcuterie x Folk, Paczki X Rose’s, Bubble’s, or CBD or Big Heart Tea."

"Located in Corktown on Michigan Avenue in the shadow of the historic train station (which is currently being restored to it’s original beauty in Detroit’s largest ever historical preservation project) and next to Slow’s BBQ, one of our favorite gluten-free restaurants in Detroit, is Astro Coffee. Astro Coffee is roasted in Core City, Detroit led by head roaster Alejandro Fesili. They feature seasonal coffee from around the world, focusing on small lot producers."

"Astro Coffee is a small, down-to-earth cafe offering a wonderful selection of coffee, tea, and baked goods. The cafe offers a light menu of sandwiches and locally made baked goods. It’s a great spot to enjoy a light breakfast on the go or a tasty lunch in between work or errands."

"And these aren’t just any vegan cakes—we’re talking elaborate, moist, delicious ones in flavors such as Birthday Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, Cardamom, Double “Matilda” Chocolate, and more. For the Love of Sugar rotates vegan flavors of cake by the slice and macarons each day, so you’ll just have to visit every day."

"A decadent date includes a stop at Brush Park’s For the Love of Sugar. Sip a cup of coffee or tea while splitting a slice of their rich, chocolatey Matilda cake or the famous macarons. Make sure to take a moment to appreciate the delightfully decorated cakes in the window."

"For the Love of Sugar might be the new kid on the block in terms of Detroit bakeries, but it makes the list. If you want your date to end on a sweet note, you stop here. I suggest the pistachio or creme brûlée macaron or the rainbow Fruity Pebble layer cake."

"New Order’s cafe may be closed, but they’re still doing online sales of their roasted coffee that you can get delivered to your door to brew and enjoy from home. They’re selling a variety of flavorful sounding beans, like their Latin American blend, “Crush” with notes of milk chocolate, berry cordial, and sweet cream. For something more subtle, they also have an Ethiopia with flavor notes of raisins, milk chocolate, and blueberry muffin called the “Ethiopia Tappie.” Their beans are here so you can shop for your perfect brew."

"New Order Coffee Roasters describe themselves with words like “glee,” “delight,” and “silly.” This is clear when you walk in the doors of the Midtown location, with smiling baristas and a bright atmosphere. The menu itself is just a little bit frivolous, featuring specialty drinks like a caramel marshmallow espresso and a cereal milk latte. Seasonal drinks range from a cotton candy nitro float to a s’mores mocha latte."

"New Order Coffee’s cafes are closed, but you can order freshly roasted coffee beans. New Order is offering free shipping on orders over $25."

"The Urban Bean Co. is located in a unique all-glass building on the corner of Griswold and Grand River Avenue in downtown Detroit. The shop is known for making a mean cup of coffee, serving Mexican hot chocolate, and offering a delicious brunch that brings guests in from near and far. If brunch, coffee, and a spicy hot chocolate aren’t enough to pique your interest, Urban Bean Co. is also a tremendous supporter of the arts."

"Across Capitol Park from Dessert Oasis Coffee Roasters, Urban Bean Co. is just plain cool. The drinks menu features things such as the Green Fairie latte with white chocolate and pistachio and the Mexican hot chocolate with banana and coconut. Combinations such as the 313, a small drip coffee and a Dutch Girl donut, are a great value option."

"This two-story corner café in Capitol Park distinguishes itself with the upstairs turntable that regularly spins electronic music and its relaxed atmosphere. Alongside drinks, the coffee bar offers snacks like fruit and Dutch Girl doughnuts."

"Founded and operated by an all-female team, Drifter Coffee has a Divine Goddess Blend that embodies the overall feminist ethos of the café. The shop’s creative director and manager, Amelia Eramya, sketched a whimsical illustration of a tree personified as a voluptuous female figure for the bag, and the beans inside are sourced through Women Coffee Producers, a resource to help coffee importers source their beans from female coffee farmers across the globe. Drifter Coffee, 770 Woodward Heights, Ferndale; 248-629-4400; driftercoffee.com"

"Located in the Ferndale suburb of Detroit, Drifter Coffee is an Instagrammer’s dream with its fun and happy aesthetic. It boasts a community space committed to working with local partners to host art exhibits, workshops, pop-ups, workouts, meditation classes, and more. Drifter Coffee’s moniker, a rainbow, populates the colorful space, and the tiled rainbow floor is a popular spot for Instagrammable photo ops."

"After starting out as a mobile coffee trailer, Drifter Coffee has found a brick-and-mortar home in Ferndale. With the coffee bar on the first floor, the second floor has a cozy seating area. The menu features espresso beverages and light food fare."

"Every road trip inevitably requires a shot of caffeine — even more so if you’re leaving early. Avalon’s original Cass Corridor cafe is relatively close to the M10 and I-75 and offers plenty of coffee to fuel your travel alongside fresh baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and other snacks to munch on in the car."

"This is another bakery that pays a lot of attention to the ingredients and do not skimp on quality. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the sea salt chocolate cookie is always a solid choice. Multiple locations – Midtown on Willis, Downtown soon to open at State and Griswold, and East Side Detroit on Bellevue."

"It has it all: golden-brown edges, gooey soft inside, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chips, perfectly topped with flakes of sea salt. It can stand alone and it pairs well with coffee, what more can you want from a cookie?"

"America’s favorite all-day, everyday stop for coffee, espresso, breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Order your Dunkin’ faves via the drive-thru or order ahead of time with the Dunkin’ mobile app for a fast grab and go experience."

"Don’t get distracted by the jarring juxtaposition of delightful, innocent, old world donuts: Dutch Girl Donuts may just have the best donuts in Detroit. Get the glazed crullers and the chocolate crullers and the glazed blueberry and the unglazed blueberry and most definitely the sour cream. And then return for more."

"Thankfully, Dutch Girl Donuts is open 24 hours, so you can try every type of donut any time you want, but for today, blueberry is the one. Something sweet, kind of fruity, maybe healthy?. Get it: 19000 Woodward Ave., Detroit"

"Near 7 Mile and Woodward, the place slings donuts like no other. Yes, we went through the trouble of ranking their individual donuts, they’re so good. 19000 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48203"

"Detroit’s Automotive Hall of Fame draws car buffs from all over the world. It is located very near to the Henry Ford Museum. Visitors can design their own cars and can involve in safety displays."

"Cadieux Café is a former speakeasy, and now a family-run Belgian café and bar. What makes it unique?. Well, aside from the wide selection of authentic Belgian beers, this place is also home to a variety of games: feather bowling, darts, and more."

"This Flemish bar and feather bowling destination serves up Belgian beers with bowls of steaming hot mussels. Select from a choice of white wine and garlic, Cajun-style, or garlic-lemon butter and dill. Dine-in or carryout available."

"The Fly Trap Restaurant is a hip dive diner in Ferndale serving up one of the most eclectic brunch menus in the Detroit area. With everything from its ‘Red Flannel hash’ (with beets), to its Thai-inspired noodle bowls and pastas, this restaurant can satisfy even the most random of brunch cravings. On weekends, The Fly Trap tends to crowd quite fast, so get here nice and early."
