Got a cortado. Lighter roast than I usually go for, but really good.

Little gem in the middle of nowhere. Look for spot lite, it’s the same. We were greeted by two friends faces. Their latte was good not sure if we would order chai there but overall would go there again if I’m ever in the area. Places is super coffee with some huge plants and a couple of stages would like to try it out at night some time.

The best coffee anywhere near Eastern market. The staff are lovely every day and the little shop is a very cozy place to sit.

One of my favorite coffeeshops in detroit. Yummy drinks and rotating selection of quality local sweets. I love having a coffee in the sprawling spot lite. There's good energy and people drawn to this place.

One of the best cups of coffee in Detroit. There are other options, but go for the pour-over. What's your big rush, anyways? Look around the shop, take a comfortable seat, and enjoy a little respite from your day. Monica is an expert and you will never be disappointed.

This place has great drinks (a little limited on choices), but is a little hard to find! Turns out it is in the back of two connected stores. My friend and I saw the sign in the store window and adventurous enough to go in, but directed at least 2 people while we were enjoying our drinks outside.

This is a really cool and large space for a coffee shop. They have a ton of seating, so you don't really have to be worried about there not being enough space. They play great music and are actually attached to a vinyl shop. The staff is incredibly nice, when I was there last time, they gave us free donuts and were really friendly. The coffee is great, but they don't have a ton of options to select from, both for the coffee and the pastries. Also, I wouldn't recommend working out of here, as the music can be pretty loud, but it's absolutely a great place to come and hang out with friends.

This is a nice little coffee / trinket shop next to the eastern market. It has a small seating area in the back, and serves organic responsibly-raised fair-trade coffee. I wanted to like the place more. I appreciate the "mom and pop" atmosphere and the kind folks who work there. The coffee was ok. Something was missing ... Not sure I'll be back, given that there are other similar business in the area.

First of all, Cairo Coffee looks LOVELY! It's inside of a boutique and it's just a super cute place. I will be back probably because of the interior decor alone. There is not a lot of seating room but there are a couple small tables in the corner. I got an almond milk latte and it was pretty good. Strong, slightly creamy and not acidic. I'm docking two stars because the ladies working here weren't very friendly. They were a bit...standoffish, let's say. Maybe it was an off day. Also if I'm sitting down at a table, I prefer an actual cup and not a to go cup.

Loved the ambiance and the baristas were so sweet and personable! I got a latte and the milk was very frothy and creamy. My friends ordered the Qahwah, which came in adorable little cups. Qahwah is coffee with cardamom. It was very fragrant and a cool twist to try. I enjoyed my time at Cairo would definitely go back!

Such a cute and tasty, locally owned shop. The iced latte had a deep, rich taste and the date cookie...wow! Delicious. Don't miss this place when you visit Eastern Market!

This coffee shop is alright. Coffee selections are very limited as well as the seating and pastries. It's connected to a accessories store so it's not just coffee. Coffee itself is pretty good. I had the cappuccino and it was okay.

I've been going to Cairo a lot since it opened so this review is based on lots of time spent there, not one visit. Monica, the owner, is def the heart of the joint. She's super friendly and very tapped into what's happening in the city. An unexpected surprise is that I've learned a whole lot about coffee. She lets me ask all kinds of dumb questions and never made me feel like I was bugging her. It's kind of turned me into a coffee snob though lol. I've learned what it means to appreciate coffee from thoughtful roasters brewed by someone who knows what they're doing. In terms of the vibe, I like the mix of people. A lot of other joints only cater to "New Detroiters." There's a lot of that's here too, but you'll also see a lot of people from the neighborhood (Eastern Market), Saavy Chic's long-time clients (the boutique Cairo is in), local artists, corporate dudes, etc. In a city that often feels super disconnected, it's nice to see so many different types of Detroiters here. Detroit is changing so fast, and there's new places opening all the time. The result of all that newness can distract from nailing down which are the cool joints and which are quality. Cairo Coffee is both.

Walked in mid day Wednesday to find out they weren't open.. upsetting since it wasn't posted anywhere that they would be closed.. will update my review when I get the chance to try the coffee.

So I've only been once, but I have to say... I've been to a ton of coffee shops around the Detroit Metro area and I've never had a better iced coffee than the one I got here. It was so incredibly smooth and lacked the boldness of a cold brew that is typically too much for me to handle. I will definitely return for more.

Great little spot, especially if you are around for the farmers' market! It's tucked away in a larger shop, but don't let that fool you. I just had an espresso, which was fantastic: great crema, body, and flavor. The have coffee from solid roasters (Mad Cap, Counter Culture) that can be enjoyed as pour overs. I will be back!

The real deal. We search Detroit for authentic, high quality coffee bars that serve single source, small farm, bird friendly, craft roasted beans. Cairo Coffee is one of a very few female owned shops in MI. Located across from Eastern market in a one-of-a-kind clothing store that sells beautiful fabrics and imported items that can't be found anywhere else. Have a great cup of Java, and enjoy all this location has to offer!
