Alba

Cool café in the city with a great vibe — perfect for working, writing, or reading. Laptops are welcome, though there’s no Wi-Fi available. The space is clean, organized, and cozy, with high ceilings and great lighting that makes it even more pleasant. It has a vibrant, lively atmosphere — full of energy and vitality — truly motivating and uplifting. The staff is incredibly attentive and helpful, adding to the welcoming feel of the place. I would come back!

Good vibes and relaxed atmosphere. I got a pour over and my friends got matcha. All was super yummy. Who doesn’t love a great coffee shop?

As we are cafe hopping… this was a great one. We got the rhubarb matcha and the veggie burrito. Would recommend!

An absolute gem. A true neighborhood coffee shop with an amazing homemade pastry selection ranging from European cafe to American classics like chocolate banana bread. A must try.

We stopped here while passing through downtown. The coffee was pretty good, but the service was probably the best out of the full experience. They were nice and got us taken care of right away. I felt the place could probably have a little better seating situation, but I get that they wanted it to be unique with how they designed it.

Alba adds one more very good destination in Corktown, giving coffee lovers another good choice among several, making Corktown a coffee lover destination.. I recommend trying their egg sandwich. Very unique flavors. I nominate their almond-pistachio coffee cake as the best they have. The coffee is very good and there is a small selection of pastries and donuts. The staff is #DetroitFriendly like most you'll find in the neighborhood.

Hipster central at its finest. Is a Matcha latte seven dollars? Yes. Is it made by a highly emotionally intelligent human that wants to have a conversation with you and will explain the source of every ingredient and the nuances between macadamia nut milk and milk? Are the Vibes curated to top shelf level instead of the beeping and blaring of Starbucks also yes. If you’re in a rush not for you.

First time here, tried something I normally wouldn’t try, the Cafe De Ollia!! Fantastic flavor! The staff were fantastic with a great recommendation! Will definitely be back!!

Really delicious coffee. Came in late morning on a Saturday after following Alba's instagram for a while. Very cozy modern interior. The service was okay, it didn't feel welcoming but the barista answered all my questions. The coffee was great. I got an iced mint latte and it was light, creamy, and very subtly minty. Would definitely come back.

Title: Outstanding Service and Atmosphere! Review: I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful coffee shop and was immediately greeted by Valerie and Julia with warm smiles and excellent service. They graciously answered all my inquiries about the shop and showcased impressive knowledge about their products. The espresso prepared by Valerie was truly exceptional; it was impeccably balanced and boasted a delightful Peruvian natural flavor profile. The shop itself is impeccably clean, with just the right level of background music to create a welcoming atmosphere. It was evident that the customers inside were enjoying themselves, adding to the overall positive vibe. The menu is refreshingly simple, and outdoor seating is available for those who prefer to bask in the sun while sipping their coffee. Plus, the array of coffee selections available for purchase is impressive. Both Valerie and Julia excelled not only in their service but also in their engaging greetings and conversations, further enhancing my experience. Additionally, I found the baristas to be incredibly helpful when it came to selecting coffee roasts, demonstrating a genuine passion for their craft. Overall, my visit to this coffee shop was nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking outstanding service, delicious coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere.

This coffee shop is a cute hidden gem. I was just walking around and saw there was a coffee shop. Great spot to study or do errands. I recommend this place! They have variety of different lattes. I got a matcha and it was so good. The baristas are knowledgeable so if you not sure... ask. Would come back !

Super cute coffee place, with all the usual coffee drinks. I ordered a mocha, and loved its complexity. The barista made a pretty heart on top. I love it when they do that! I also tried a Malted Rye Chocolate Chip cookie. I wasn't sure what to except, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cookie was buttery and had caramelly notes. It had just the right amount of chocolate and I loved its chew. They had some pistachio cake which looked really good. Next time...

A great coffee shop with friendly staff and plenty of room to sit and hangout or work. I got a chocolate croissant and a cold brew, which were both amazing!

what the actual F this place has an absolutely killer egg sandwich that I cannot stop thinking about. I do not live in Detroit I was just there for a pit stop and now I am waking up at my home that is far from Detroit and wishing I could have this egg sandwich. The flavors go pow.

Excellent baked goods , burritos etc. best drip coffee in Detroit too. Fast friendly no BS service. Gotta love it early mornings

Staff was friendly and helpful, coffee was delicious. Felt like a very much improved version of the cafe that was here prior.

Best breakfast sandwich i've had in my life. Drinks are delicious as well. Beautiful spot to grab a coffee then walk in Roosevelt park.

Alba is so cute! The soft music is nice, the Mexican mocha is DELICIOUS, and the carrot cake is both beautiful and yummy. The baristas are attentive and quick. For being so trendy, I was surprised at how great the prices are!

The coffee prices are very affordable in a retail environment that mostly caters to the more affluent in the neighborhood. The coffee is great. I wish them the best.
