Sabbath Coffee Roasters

Sabbath Coffee & Roasters is such a gem in Clawson! I stopped in on a Friday morning around 9am and had a fantastic experience. The shop itself is small and cozy inside, with plenty of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. Even though the space is tight, it never felt overwhelmingly loud. The decor has fun millennial vibes with thoughtful seasonal touches, and everything inside was spotless. (The outdoor tables were a little dusty, but honestly that’s just the nature of outdoor seating!) The staff here are wonderful — smiling, kind, patient while taking orders, and quick to get drinks out. I tried two drinks: my usual iced caramel latte and their seasonal Goober Latte. Both were excellent! The caramel latte had the perfect balance of sweetness and espresso. The Goober was a creative seasonal special — the peanut butter flavor came through beautifully, and the cold foam was thick and delicious (though I didn’t pick up much of the berry flavor). Drinks are one standard size, but it’s just right — satisfying without being too much. Presentation was gorgeous, and you can really taste the freshness of their house-roasted beans. I also love that they accommodate different diets with vegetarian/pescatarian-friendly menu options and several milk alternatives. A couple of extra details worth mentioning: they have a walk-up window outside, which is perfect if you’re bringing your dog, and the outdoor seating could easily accommodate families or larger groups. Parking is limited right in front, but there’s plenty available just down the street and behind the building (all free!). Overall, Sabbath is warm, welcoming, and clearly a place that puts care into every detail. I’ll absolutely be back!

First visit to Sabbath and WOW it’s so good! Ordered an Americano and White Peppermint mocha plus a chocolate chip scone! Can’t wait to try the beans at home too! We will be back again soon.

Cool spot, great atmosphere! I really liked the guy who took our order, made me feel very welcome and told me “no rush” when I couldn’t decide on a drink, even though there were people behind me in line! The outdoor seating was cool. I wish they had more food options but the pastries seemed legit. Coffee was both fancy and tasty.

I don't often write reviews for places; if I like it, I return with friends in tow, and if I don't, I don't. Sabbath's customer service has exceeded any expectation I could have had. I recently ordered their variety sampler pack pre-ground. The bags I received were all whole bean, which wasn't a big deal, but I was also short a bag. I called to let them know what happened and they kindly remedied the issue. Not only did they immediately ship my missing bag, but with it they included the entire variety pack pre-ground the way it was originally ordered. Both the coffee and the customer service are incredible.

One of my favorite places to come in the morning with my partner before work for a latte with a scone, oats or a sandwhich. Employees are chill as well. I didnt really drink coffee ever until I started getting some from my workplace and then Sabbath and now I gotta have some all the time now 🤣☕️. I will miss the chocolate orange latte but am excited for whatever new special drinks they bring for the coming month.

This is my favorite local coffee shop! The staff are always so friendly and they have the BEST dirty chai around. I love how they roast their own beans and make their own syrups, some of which are available to buy. They also have such a fun variety of rotating drinks each month, some favorites are the cardamon rose, pumpkin spice, ubebebebe, and ghost pepper mocha. Highly recommend!

What an amazing local not-so-hidden gem! 💎 Latte is the best in here! Whether it’s a regular one or one of their special ones! I love their oat milk chai latte as well and also would recommend trying their dessert! Especially chocolate almond croissants 🥐 Place is small and cozy. It’s a to-go only, but there is a seating area in the alley outside. They also have seasonal flavors and drinks too! Wish it’d be open after 3 pm too!

Nice little to-go only café. I asked the very friendly barista to recommend a latte they are known for. She recommended I try the honey cinnamon oat milk latte as it is very popular. I ordered it and I was not disappointed! It wasn’t foamy at all, it was very flavorful and prepared with beautiful latte art, much appreciated! The atmosphere is small and eclectic as there is only outdoor seating. I’ll definitely stop by to pick up a coffee here and there.

Excellent coffee. I got the cappuccino to go. Enjoyed every drop of it. Glad we finally tried this place. They close at 4pm, and we missed it last time when we were in the area. Super happy we arrived before they closed this time. We originally asked for oat milk, but they missed it and made the drink with whole milk. The good thing is that's only a preference not an allergy, but wish they captured the order more accurately.

Still one of the best spots to get a coffee in the royal oak clawson Troy area! Also one of the most affordable and quality lattes for under $6. Just updating to mention they have updated their interior and have digital menus rather than the physical menu they used to have!

My go to local coffee shop! Best coffee and great staff! They have seasonal drinks available and I love their frozen drink as well. Highly recommend!

This is the best coffee shop I have been to in my life and the employees are so nice! I have never seen such clever specials and wish that everyone in the world could have a cup of the delicious coffee. I love seeing new upgrades like the TVs and the fridge and the seasonal outfits for skully. I love how chill it is I wish I could live closer so I could go every morning just like before!

Saw them on Instagram and had to give them a try. I ordered a cappuccino and my friend had the chai tea latte iced. We were super happy with our drinks. The space inside is super small and had no indoor seating; you just have to grab and find a seat in the side alley. No seating in the front of the shop. This is great for the warmer weather, but not so much when it starts getting colder. At that point, it's just a grab and go; you can't linger. Price point is solid as well. Not overpriced like all the other spots. Baristas were nice and service was quick. I wished they had ceramic and glass cups for the drinks instead of the paper cups for those who choose to sit outside. But I understand that this coffee shop is more geared towards grab and go. The seating in the alley was just an added convenience and it's seems to be a shared space with other shops.

Fun vibes, good coffee, exceptional staff. I love all the fun seasonal drinks and the frozen options!

chai Latte was gewd. Smooth and easy to drink. stayed warm even after getting home and was well balanced from top to bottom which is great.

Stopped by for the first time after walking past many times. The coffee shop does not have indoor seating, but there is a lot of outdoor seating. It had a nice ambiance, and great music. They also sell coffee beans and shirts. I got the honey cinnamon iced latte, because I love a great cafe con miel! It was kind of pricey, $6.30 including tip. It has a very strong roasted cinnamon taste, which I personally love. The honey helps balance the cinnamon. The espresso is smooth with a subtle richness. Would recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Stopped in for a latte as I was out and about. You know it's a great spot when there's a line out the door. Despite the line, it went very quick and was worth the wait. I'll definitely be back!

Delicious coffee, interesting flavors, and friendly staff! There is no seating in the store but a great place to stop for your morning brew!

This place is sosososososososososo GOOD. Ranks as some of the best and most consistent coffee I have ever had in my life. The cold brew is phenomenal and the lattés do not skimp on the espresso--perfect ratio and not too sugary. Baked goods (I believe) are from Crispelli's. The VEGAN BANANA MUFFIN is WILDD. Debated trying to package one up and mail it to my vegan friend in Chicago. Moving out of town, but am going to miss snagging my usual cold brew/muffin combo.

Staff are super friendly. Place is small but cute. They take their time to make your coffee with love. They have milk alternatives and plenty of add in flavors for your liking with a small up charge. I'll definitely be back!

Going 5 stars. This is my favorite coffee place. Best mocha in my opinion. I bought ground coffee for my wife to brew at home. She asked for more, which she never does. The staff is always friendly even when it gets busy.

This is right across the street from my favorite sushi spot and one of my favorite patisseries. It's a smaller spot and there were about five people in line. The folks working seemed to know everyone and they were whipping up all sorts of drinks while maintaining their conversations, impressive! I got the cold brew, this coffee is really good. Lots of choices on the menu and I'm sure they're all distinct in their own way. Not much else to say really, it's a coffee shop and they have excellent coffee. I would call that a win.

This place is small and quaint and delicious! The summer special of a lavender vanilla latte is incredible - i got it iced with oatmilk and I'm chugging it. Also grabbed a donut, not sure where they are from but very good! I also purchased 5 coffees because If you read this review between august 18th -august 25th 2023 they are donating all the profits of chai and black coffee orders to a local family after the sudden death of a regular customer. Such a caring act by the business, this is why I came in and now knowing it's tasty and they care for their community I will be a returning customer .

Got the ube latte because it was their special. Comes with 2 shots of ube and 1 shot of espresso. They said it was just as popular as honey cinnamon oatmilk latte and not overly sweet, which got me interested. $6.5, so on the more expensive side. I would say looks and aesthetic was 10/10. Taste is 8/10 because it truly was tasty and not very sweet, and on par with honey cinnamon, however 5-6/10 on par with "ube" flavor. In other words, it was a good drink but did not taste like ube even after two shots of ube, which is powdered and not the solid real stuff. I'm glad I tried but probably won't get it again. Service was good despite the line being out the door.

I got an iced caramel latte from here and it was good. I really liked the cup it came in. It's very sturdy and comes with a little lid cover to stop it from spilling if you're walking or in the car. The baristas were super friendly and helped me decide on a drink, since I don't like drinks that are too sweet. The inside was very clean and well-kept. They also have a walk up window on the side and have outdoor seating in the alley next door. Overall a very nice coffee spot and would recommend!

What an amazing local not-so-hidden gem! Latte is the best in here! Whether it's a regular one or one of their special ones! I love their oat milk chai latte as well and also would recommend trying their dessert! Especially chocolate almond croissants Place is small and cozy.

We spotted this place across the street from White Wolf Patisserie, so we stopped by! No seating inside, it's just a small space where you walk up to the counter and order. There was a line with 2-3 people in front of us, but it wasn't slow. 3 workers were inside. One working the register and the other 2 making the drinks. I got a latte with the vanilla bean syrup, while my sister got a plain cortado. Really delicious syrup and a nice espresso! Probably one of the best lattes I've had in a while! They do sell a good amount t of pastries here. In vegan options! It looked like they had a walk up window on the side of the building but it didn't seem like they were using it. Dogs are allowed inside though. They do have merch. One of the t-shirts they had looked cool! Parking is parallel around here! But in the morning, it's not too bad. Seems most people who go here are able to walk to it. And it's a popular spot too! A line formed behind us as we waited to order!

Cutest little coffee spot! The vibe inside is modern and very 3rd wave, and the staff are like a big happy family who really know their stuff when it comes to coffee! I treated myself to a hot decaf latte that was just perfection! Yeah, I know, I'm that one person who orders decaf, but hear me out--if they can nail the decaf, you know their regular brews must be out of this world! Seriously, my decaf latte was a dream--think s'mores and smoky espresso notes dancing on your taste buds. So smooth, too! I can't wait to swing by again and try their latte slushie; it sounds amazing! Quick tip: there's no indoor seating, but you'll find a charming little ordering window nestled in this adorable alleyway just around the corner. It's totally wheelchair accessible, which is fantastic! Just a heads-up, though--the alley is cobblestone, so it might feel like you're getting a mini workout if you're self-propelled! Overall, it's just an absolute delight!

As a coffee enthusiast, was very happy to try this place. Very tiny shop with no seating--which is totally fine because you can sit in a nicely decorated alley next to the store. Service was very quick, especially on a sunday afternoon. I got a cappuccino, and fiance got the iced coffee. Both were fantastic with bold flavor. Worth driving to if you are more than 15 mins away. Will come again.

I have no doubt this coffee place is hot as hell in a good way. It is delicious for their coffee if you're a coffee nut and you want great service and I bet you any money obvious is fantastic and if you like a little grunge and a little bit of everything I definitely check out this place. If you're in class and you want something walking around and holding your hand and it's quick and easy just order your coffee and walk away that's the kind of I'll be out of this Z

Cute little spot. I ordered a basic ass drink but nonetheless it was fresh and really good coffee

Really disappointed in our experience here to say the least. Sabbath has been on my bookmarks for many months if not a year to finally try but since it's a 45 minute drive it's not a quick stop or anywhere along my route. I also really wanted to come out to try Dooped Donuts. I can say that I did not appreciate both employees starring me up and down the entire time I'm ordering as well as my sister. I did not appreciate being spoken to in a condescending manner as if I don't speak English just because of the way I look. I ask if there's any dairy in the frozen latte, I get a condescending response about oat milk. We'll, I can definitely see that on the menu, my question was regarding milk derivatives or byproducts since I have an allergy and frozen latte base generally contain milk enzymes. I also don't appreciate the amount of times I said please and thank you to get no response or to receive a dirty look in the end. Two of us were wearing hijabs and there were others in the building who were definitely not getting starred up and down. Who knows if they're having bad days or what, but the entire thing felt so unwelcoming and hard to really describe but without communicating with each other we all felt the same way when we walked out. Really unfortunate and I don't care how good the coffee or donuts are, I won't be coming back and I can get Dooped Donuts elsewhere. It's 2022 and that's far from "awake". I give the Dooped donuts 10/10. Coffee cups with the clever lid covers are also 10/10.

I really enjoy this little coffee shop! The owners are friendly and helpful. The menu is small which is good to see! Sometimes too many options is overwhelming. But they got it right! I absolutely love the slushy coffee with caramel!!! Yummmmmmmo Ill be back ( again)

Came here with my friend this afternoon and got the iced vanilla bean latte because I hear this place is known for it! First of all, the vanilla bean syrup is amazing. I like how much of the vanilla bean flavor there is and it's not super sweet. However, Sabbath is known for their light roasts so the espresso after taste isn't super strong. This latte is good, but if you want a stronger coffee flavor, then this drink might not be for you. The vanilla bean syrup also takes away the coffee flavor, which is expected. Definitely would recommend this drink to people who are latte enthusiasts and less so of a coffee purist. Still a wonderful drink on a sunny afternoon! I would probably want to try more black coffee drinks the next time I go. Overall, I am glad I checked this place out! It has a super interior aesthetic, great for pictures to satisfy your basic cravings!

Top tier coffee, vibes, customer service. Cannot recommend this place enough, the only down side is the lack of in store seating, but that kind of also makes it? Will keep coming back time and time again.

I came to this coffee shop because of all the good reviews. However, it was actually a little disappointing. Their brew is on the bland side and flavorless for me. I'll give it another shot next time and update the review if it got better. Specifically speaking, - Ambiance 5/10 - Cleanliness 8/10 - Barista 4/10 - Coffee 3/10 - Working Vibe 0/10 -- No seats to work here

Stopped by today while running errands in the area and I'm in love!! I had an iced vanilla bean latte and one of the delicious, indulgent vegan donuts, both of which I scarfed down in my car parked outside as soon as I left the store. Interior is super cute but I didn't linger very long given, ya know, the pandemic. I actually placed my order and stepped outside to wait for my drink via the walk up window on the side of the building (a really nice option BTW). The two staff members working this afternoon were SO friendly and cheerful, it was hard not to be in a great mood after leaving, and not just from the caffeine and donut sugar rush! Definitely look forward to adding it to my rotation when I'm in the area!

This place is so cute. Location is awesome, right downtown. There's street parking right in front. When you walk in, there's an easy-to read sign with all the milk types, coffee flavors, etc. just walk up & order, drink made minutes later. No tables to sit, but space to hangout and wait for your drink. Also have yummy bread/muffins/etc. excellent service. I got an iced latte with brown sugar & oat milk. Was so dreamy! 100% recommend.

Had to put in an update - we've been picking up a lot of coffee beans lately to grind and make their coffee at home and it is so delicious. Seriously every bag we've gotten is so good. AND sometimes they have special blends. My friend got me the Tired AF for my first mothers day. Had a cute little skeleton mom and baby on the front. So cute. So delicious.

High quality coffee and ambiance, their house roast is one of the best that I've had in a while!

Order a hot chocolate with oat milk and a mocha with oat milk as well. There's a line outside to go inside, they also have a walk-up window in the alley. There's at least 6-8 people in line to enter, it's a small space inside. My husband likes the oat milk for coffees and he likes their mocha here. The chocolate milk is frothy and creamy, but doesn't have a strong chocolate flavor to me at all, it's rather weak, needs a chocolate oomph for sure. Too bad they didn't have hot cider available. Skip the hot chocolate and come for the coffee. The hot chocolate leaves a strange after taste. It's about the coffee and not their chocolate milk after all.

This coffee is amazing! Possibly the smoothest, most silky latte I have ever consumed. The owner is very kind (and energetic for 7:30AM) and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know his customers. The shop's decor is sleek/simple and can we please appreciate the design of this cup? I also appreciate that Sabbath is open before 8AM, which is rare for good local coffee places. Needless to say, I will be back to try the rest of the menu!

Great experience, right next door to WDC! The coffee was absolutely delicious. Definitely worth the visit here if you are a coffee connoisseur! Can't wait to come back next weekend!

This is my go to coffee spot. Lattes are the perfect balance between milk, espresso, and sweetness. Best in the area!

This was a very delightful place! Inside is very small, but the staff is so nice and the coffee is delicious. They sell holdings if you need them, and the vanilla latte I had was perfect...perfect. Although there is no where to sit, the atmosphere is cool.

This place is amateur at best. So many better and more authentic other options out there - Would not spend a minute or penny here.

I keep coming here because it's convenient and local, but I'm begging for the coffee to be better. Maybe everyone else who recently discovered a Starbucks macchiato is not a true macchiato will leave a glowing 4 or 5 stars here, but I can't justify that. Since pretty much the beginning, the coffee has a harsher taste than it should. I've tried several of their single origins over the past year and a half, and a few of there blends. My favorites? The Mexican they had last year, as well as the Oh Fudge holiday blend. Why? Because they were balanced. And really chocolatey too, but balanced. As opposed to some of their other single origins, which again seem ascerbic to a degree. The flavor notes are there, they're just not polished smooth. That Ethiopia last year with the raspberry flavor note? It was great at first, then as it cooled, it got harsh. That was from the pot in the cafe, and at home wasn't better. It was really noticeable with the Kenya. Just not balanced or rounded out. Smooth is the opposite of what the coffee tastes like. So that leads me to believe it's the roaster who isn't roasting to the right profile, or their drip pot just isn't extracting right or some other combination of things. Maybe this is their style and they like it that way, well I don't, and I've been routinely driving out of my way to DOCR in RO to get a solid pourover. They close at 4 which is a bummer. Anyhoo, it's nice to have another specialty coffee roaster in town, they do some fun seasonal drinks, and the lattes and espresso is decent. I just really think the single origins could be better, a lot better, but hey, they're new.

It was not part of the plan. While I was waiting for my sushi order from across the street to be prepared, I came to this coffee shop to try it out. This coffee shop does not offer any seating (inside or outside). I found that very unusual for a coffee shop. It would be nice to see that happen in the future. The menu is simple, direct, and to the point, and the drinks are fairly priced. I ordered the frozen latte with vanilla bean added flavor. However, the coffee shop was out of the vanilla bean flavor so it turned to caramel. The first 2-3 sips were overly sweet, and I really did not like it. But after those first few sips, its sweetness decreased. The drink was not well blended. But the ice blend for this frozen latte was great. It had Slurpee like texture to it. If the flavoring was evenly blended throughout the whole drink, this would be a five star drink (especially on a hot day).

For all you Australian expats, Sabbath will make you a Flat White and a Melbourne Magic. Plus, their frozen oat milk lattes are great to drink on hot summer days.

I got the iced cinnamon honey latte from here and it was SO good. The cup was definitely on the small side but it was so worth it and I wish I lived in Michigan for this place. I'd be here way too much, giving them all of my money. It was so cute and the baristas were super cool and helpful! Also- the other drink is just a flat white and it was also very very good :)

I dare you to find me better coffee in the metro Detroit area! On my way with the best latte oatmilk with their own honey cinnamon blend syrup that's not gooey sugar overload. If I lived closer I'd be here every day. Love this spot and barista guy at register was very friendly!!

Went there for a latte with a girlfriend. I got the vanilla bean latte and it was delicious. It was extremely smooth, I will definitely be back.

These folks are still so nice, coffee is delicious, AND most importantly -- they have a walk up window!!! Love it!

Yep, this is another local coffee place in Metro-Detroit for you to add to your foodie list to check out. The walk-up window is a game-changer during these COVID times. Small place inside but digging the minimalist decor. Coffee crew is welcoming and helpful, genuine group of people who are dedicated to perfecting your order. My classic go-to is a Cortado w/ Oat, which was tasty and strong. Since they're located downtown Clawson, it's perfect to just stroll around the shops and then make a pit stop for caffeine. They have some seasonal items (like the Draper and Hot Cider), merch, and coffee beans for sale. Heard their Frozen Lattes are fantastic too, so that's on my list to try next.

Best coffee around! Make sure you grab yourself some coffee beans to take home. The lattes with house made syrup are so delicious.

Soooo cute and tasty too! This coffee shop is adorable from the inside out. Great coffee, not much variety in terms of flavors & food but the options they do have are quality! Super friendly and quick service. I always check out new places and this one did not disappoint! I will be back next time I am near Clawson, it's worth a quick detour. Definitely check them out!

This is my girlfriend and my favorite place to go to grab a drink. The rotating specials are always excellent and the E&T is a particular favorite of mine.
