The Red Hook Detroit

Great neighborhood coffee shop. Decent selection of beverages and small food menu - but has all you need including breakfast sandwiches. Service is always friendly and efficient. Cute and comfortable atmosphere but relatively small.

. The Red Hook Detroit (Indian Village) Stepping into The Red Hook in Indian Village, I was immediately struck by how quiet it was – almost eerily so. It definitely threw me off, as I was expecting a bit more of a bustling coffee shop vibe. Beyond the subdued atmosphere, what really stood out was the price: $4.50 plus tip for a small black coffee felt quite steep. It was one of those "oh, okay... wow" moments that makes you double-take. While the space might appeal to those looking for a very calm spot, the value for money, especially on a basic coffee, felt a little off. If you're after absolute tranquility and don't mind a premium price tag for your daily brew, this might be your spot. Otherwise, be prepared for a very quiet experience and a slightly lighter wallet.

i love this shop! the ginger molasses cookies is sooooo good oooooooo. the baristas are all so nice. madeleine complimented my jacket and she is so nice and sweet and always smile :) love the red hook people for alway being so nice. i got a drink

If I lived in Detroit, I’d be here all the time. Staff were friendly, drinks were delicious (rose latte, regular latte and hot chocolate were had during my visit) and the pastries are super tasty! Highly recommend.

Super cute little coffee shop just outside of the busy city. My macchiato was delicious! Not many personalized flavor options tho. So I got my hubs just a plan joe with sugar & creamer. He would have enjoyed the same from Mcds without a premium coffeehouse upcharge. The treats looked tasty but I did not indulge.

If I lived here, I would come to Red Hook to do deep work or journal. Relaxing atmosphere and good pastries (with vegan options!) Service was great. The coffee's pretty good, too.

I really loved Red Hook. We found ourselves out of breakfast food and without reservations one weekend, and decided to grab a coffee and a bite from here to lift our spirits. It didn’t disappoint. The pastries we fantastic. Great flavor and obviously freshly baked. We also had incredible lattes that were perfectly smooth and balanced. They are still doing curbside orders, so no customers were allowed inside. But even still, we enjoyed sitting at the outdoors tables and enjoying the fresh air. I’m extremely glad to have found this place, and will be planning my next stop very soon!

A nice little caffe - very good coffee, tasty pastries! And wonderful, very helpful staff! Maric was awesome! Thank you!

The vibe of Red Hook in indian village is unmatched. the cute outdoor patio with an art gallery across the street gives you everything you need to be the main character. the staff is super amazing and they're all friendly adding to the experience. The coffee was great, not too acidic and bitter and rather smooth. Their pastries are beautiful and are a pretty decent bite.

This spot is so cute! It has a charmping, hipster vibe. I tried the vanilla oatmilk latte which was creamy and sweet. The brown sugar sea salt latte was a lot sweeter than I prefer. We tried an asiago basil popover and oatmeal cream pie. Both pastries were delcious and tasted fresh. They have limited seating area.

We've enjoyed visiting Red Hook Ferndale since moving to the area in 2014, so we were thrilled to learn that they moved into the former Great Lakes Coffee in midtown. The space is large and they've done a terrific job with the space-ample room between tables, cool vintage objects and plants create a comfy, welcoming environment. The staff are so kind and welcoming! Coffee and baked goods are of the quality we expect and there are gluten-free and vegan pastry options.

Very fun local hipster type of coffee house with THE BEST sea salt caramel chocolate cookies. WOW! So good! Super cute establishment and we found it on YELP so zero disappointment here. The staff was awesome and the coffee was fantastic. You won't be sorry!

A really friendly space, with excellent consumables, and fantastic music playing in the background. Kudos for the playlist and the great vibes!

Cute coffee/baked goods shop in Indian Village neighborhood! This place checks all the boxes for me. Single origin beans pour overs and delightful baked yummies? I'm there!! Mushroom savory hand pie: so good! Sort of like Thanksgiving stuffing flavor in a flaky pastry! Warm it up in a toaster oven to make it a hot pocket! Zucchini chocolate bread: zucchini thankfully isn't a dominant flavor here. Deep chocolatey goodness! Berry crumble: like a hand portable berry/cake! So good with coffee! I also got one of their ethiopian single origin pour over coffee which was delightful. Currently it's only walk up due to COVID but it looks pretty cute on the inside.

Stopped by for coffee and breakfast on Friday. Amazing location. Muffin was excellent.

This is a must visit place in Mid-town. It has so much potential to be a really good local hangout. I loved the vibe and it's just a cool place. They serve coffee, tea and some food items. One recommendation is to add Skinny Syrup or Sugar-free syrup for non-sugar people. Perhaps Stevia packets could be added. Other than that I loved it!

Enviroment, drinks and staffs are combined pefectly. I took 30 mins to come here, but it's truly worthy. I'll be back . 5 Stars

Good pour over and lots of options for single origin coffee. Plenty of tables. Will come back to try other things.

I really like the red hook. Good strong coffee but also their food is solid. The biscuit breakfast sandwich is really good as well as their flakey savory tarts. Nice space, close to the river

This is a hidden gem in an area of the city that has incredible potential to become a very cool district. They are a true coffee house. Their coffee is low acidity and not bitter. This place does coffee the way coffee should be done. Adding anything to a latte from Red Hook is like adding ketchup to a filet; It requires nothing other than consumption and appreciation. The staff is always kind and professional. The seating area is an awesome blend of original mid century construction with some modern clean-up. I would absolutely encourage everyone to check out the Red Hook.

Stopped here from out of town and got an iced almond milk vanilla latte and a blueberry muffin and both were sooooo good. Highly recommend!

The staff is very friendly here. I tried their bacon, egg + cheese biscuit and it was really good! Their pour over is also nice. What I liked the most is their chai. I had a hot chai w- oat milk and it's the best chai I've had in awhile. Would recommend!

Red Hook was a great spot to get to-go coffee! Though it's walk up only and cashless, the cafe au lait I ordered was absolutely delicious and the staff was fast and fantastic! The neighborhood is super cute as well, and can't wait to be back once open normally again!

Charming coffee shop located on a quiet street filled with beautiful art both inside and out (large floral mural across the street and beautiful bird paintings on the ceiling of The Red Hook). Where? Located in the Indian Village neighborhood. My recent visit to The Red Hook also marked my first time trying Golden Milk (which was delightful). The space has the custom cozy coffee shop vibe minus comfortable seating. Maybe that's so folks don't stick around too long? I really enjoyed the playlist during our visit and noticed that they stayed fairly busy the whole time we were there.

Great place to drink coffee as it is a coffee shop. What a place. Perfect vibe. I go all the time. Ask for coffee products there!

Love the vibe, staff were friendly and served me a delicious drink in a cute place. Absolutely no complaints. I will come again and recommend to others looking for a new favorite cafe.

Today was my first visit to Red Hook and I would absolutely return. The shop is tucked away in a cute residential neighborhood of Detroit so you don't have to worry about struggling to find parking like you would at some of the other shops around the city. Parking is free in the back and there's also street parking available. The shop is small and intimate with a lot of single person tables. I wouldn't recommend coming here to spread out with books or work to do but you could definitely get some laptop work done. I typically drink vanilla lattes with some sort of milk substitute. Although they don't offer vanilla flavoring at this shop they did have Lavender flavoring and there were quite a few choices for milk substitutes: almond, soy and coconut. I've never tried lavender in my latte but the staff highly recommended it and I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it. I also tried the chocolate zucchini bread and really enjoyed that as well. I think it's important to note that this shop offers plenty of vegan options!

Okay, by now everyone knows how stellar the drinks at Red Hook are. The coffee and all variations of it are fantastic. Golden milk and charcoal lattes are fun (and delicious!) departures from the standard espresso fare. But the thing I've really come to appreciate over the last few months are the treats!!! The baked good offerings here as of late (or probably forever but I'm just now humming the tune of the unsung hero) have been simply perfect. The tasty carbs are from Pinwheel bakery, and man oh man oh man are they great. Breads with crisp outsides and perfectly soft insides. Custard-y tarts with paired with fruits. Delectable cookies and bars and cakes. And yes, the breakfast sammie IS perfect, but if you're feeling that sweet tooth, go hard in the paint. You will not be disappointed.

Very busy when I stopped by, this small coffee shop surprisingly has ample seating and intricate artwork throughout. The word "hipster" definitely comes to mind but the girl who took my order was kind and my honey latte didnt take too long to be prepared. It's not upscale, or fancy, but definitely a place that someone could work or study if it weren't so busy. I was pleasantly surprised coming upon this place!

This place has great coffee, awesome treats and a great staff. If Uribi is working, be sure to have her make your hot chocolate !

Had a great experience here today! Fear not, in the midst of COVID-19 they still have a pickup window open. Everting is super clean and a well oiled machine. Today I tried the vegan peanut butter chocolate bar ($3.75) - it was crunchy, chewy and so good. Would eat this anytime anywhere. Try it!! For my drink I got the Black Tonic which is a double shot or espresso +ice+lemon tonic water. It's truly unique and incredibly refreshing. The staff here is friendly and it's in a lovely little spot on the west side. You're not too far from Belle Isle here, so go enjoy your drinks with a view.

I have been to Detroit on many occasions and I have never been to this place. It's recommended by someone and we decided to check it out before our appointment. The staff were so nice and welcoming. They patiently went over their menu since we explained that it was our first time. I had mocha and it was the best mocha I have had in years. The temperature was just perfect. Not too hot and not too warm and cold. Just perfecto! I just wished that we had more time to sit down and enjoy the coffee and the salted caramel brownie. Be sure to try salted caramel brownie since it's so dense. I hate anything that has salted caramel but as for this brownie, I can barely taste the salted caramel. This place is definitely a gem. Oh don't forget to look up the ceiling when you sit down, there's a beautiful painting waiting for you.

We really love the neighborhood where The Red Hook is located. Agnes Street is so cool, and the homes in Indian Village are full of character. As far as location goes, I haven't visited a coffee shop in the Detroit area that has the same uniqueness as The Red Hook. We went to The Red Hook on my birthday, because it was one of the coffee shops I have been wanting to visit for quite some time. Last time we tried to go, we found a note on the door stating that they had closed early because some of their staff members wanted to participate in rallies. I thought it was considerate of management to close the shop early so that employees could voice their opinions. So... when we visited The Red Hook, my wife ordered a cappuccino and I had an espresso - out typical order at any coffee shop. We both thought the espresso was slightly sour. Not to be confused with bitter espresso. I expect espresso to be bitter. The service was excellent. We were greeted by a kind young gal who answered the questions that we had. The shop was clean and full of character. We did enjoy our visit to The Red Hook, and we will be going back.

Amazing mochas made with chocolate ganache! They sell lavender lattes too. We had the breakfast biscuit sandwich, and it was incredible - perfectly done and not dry. The atmosphere is beautiful, artistic & inclusive. It features the work of Detroit-based artist, Ouizi. I highly recommend this coffee shop gem. It's tucked away in a quiet, quirky, and quaint neighborhood.

The place is cute but their tables are so small, two people can't work on laptops at the same table. This causes an issue because of the limited space. Nice effort for a hipster coffee shop. Not enough space, though (which of course, is a great problem to have). Try again :/

The Red Hook is the perfect spot in town to come and get some work or studying done. The vibes are really chill, the staff is extremely friendly and the coffee is amazing! They do play music, but not the distracting kind that you can't even hear your own thoughts. I've been getting some studying done here the last few days and you can really tell this is a spot where the locals go. I've had the peppermint mocha latte twice (seasonal) and have gotten a vegan/GF banana chocolate chip muffin every time and it's delicious! A lot of their food options are vegan and gluten free, and feel somewhat healthy which is perfect for the new year! I love this little place and am so happy I stumbled upon it! Come check it out :)

This place is a hidden gem! Great coffee and unique pastries and breakfast sandwiches. The pop tart pastry is my favorite. When visiting, frequented this place everyday. For right now there is no indoor seating or service, however the current format works out great if you are just in the area walking your dog.

Yum the cappuccino I ordered was delish! It was creamy and flavorful. Prices are pretty high but i did enjoy my cap. The place was clean and super cute as well. They allow animals inside the establishment so I wasn't a fan of that. It was rainy and I was concerned this dog was going to shake the water off himself and get hair in my coffee. Sorry animal lovers but I don't believe animals should be allowed inside eating/drinking establishments.

Delicious! So amazing, the shop itself is super cute and the service is beyond compare. Once they accidentally gave me the wrong order, but then gave me the correct drink on the house, and a free pastry!

While the menu may be very limited, the items are well done. I had a Mexican Coca Cola from their fridge which was delicious. It's such a nice cafe to sit down and study or read; the natural light is wonderful and it's always peaceful!

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, after brunch next door, to grab a coffee and dessert as the restaurant was running slow and low on options. So glad that happened because our new favorite sweet is the Oatmeal whoopie/cream pie here! Pair that with two smooth cold brews and dessert is awesome!

Great mini vegan breads! Wish they had more vegan options that day though, but they were moist and great

Cute cafe perfect for working. Latte was good, pastry was tasty, nice decor, friendly staff, cool neighborhood. Everyone else was on their laptops, quietly working on a Saturday. Seating was just enough but more on the smaller side.

Definitely prefer going to the Ferndale location over this one. I wasn't so crazy about the attitude of the cashier, and if it's something that irks me big time about the food industry, it's poor attitude. She had it written all over her face, and my friends and I were not pleased with it. Still, we decided to get a slice of pecan pie and enjoy the cozy space. The slice of pie was good, but nothing amazing. We initially came to chomp on some of Sister Pie's creations, but they were all out. :( The pie looked good, but eating it was just blah. Thankfully, we just got 1 slice for the 4 of us to share. The space, however, is really cute. I love the hand illustrations of the birds on the ceiling. The tables and chairs have a nice layout that provide good lounging and privacy at the same time. Background music was relaxing and not distracting, perfect for conversation. One thing to note though - I have Verizon as my cell phone carrier, and there was absolutely ZERO coverage in the space, so if you plan on staying there for a while, keep that in mind. Other than that, we had a nice time. We weren't there for super long, but enjoyed a relaxing environment to chat and snack on some pie. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here again, but if I was in the area, I'd swing by, and hopefully that cashier isn't there and Sister Pie's goodies are available. :)

Great little shop, I've always loved going to the one on Agnes, we now stop by when we can at the new one just down the street opened near the Greenway off Jefferson, as it's right near where we live, very cute little shop they've opened there also, very nice people working there, just one recommendation, you have absolutely the best sea salt chocolate chip cookies we have ever tasted, we are totally addicted to them, however it seems anymore if we go in at 10 or 30 in the morning you're always sold out, it seems like you only carry three or four. Please, please start stocking more of them, it's only good business , instead of a product that keeps selling out. K

We stopped in for coffee drinks to go. The people who work here were really friendly and our drinks were good. They had samples of a couple baked goods and they were really delicious and we would have gotten some if we hadn't had a big lunch. Nice seating area and some tables outside.

I love this place! Friendly staff and good coffee. I love Stumptown (I'm from Portland). It's a couple blocks from my apartment and I walk over here to work around once a week. I do wish the seats were more comfortable and that the wifi was less spotty. But I love the birds on the ceiling and it's a great place to meet people in my neighborhood.

Hipster, small coffee shop good for working, gathering for conversation (but not too loud - tables are close together and you can hear the secrets of the people near by). Counter service, tasty pastries, strong drinks with appropriate levels of caffeine. My friend, a coffee connoisseur who roasts his own beans, was impressed with his pour over. Lactose intolerant and a non-caffeine drinker, I got the golden milk - coconut milk (I switched to soy which they accommodated) with tumeric and black pepper. The drink isn't sweet, the pepper was not excessive, and tumeric is the latest superfood. It was okay - the tumeric makes the drink gritty, especially towards the bottom of the cup. The barista was gracious enough to give me an extra cup of hot water to drink the dregs at the bottom down. It's def an eclectic drink, tumeric is an anti-inflammatory spice enhanced by pepper, but you gotta love it (which I do).

Not only do I love this cozy neighborhood of Indian Village, but also the vibe of this very chill and laid back coffee shop! I stopped in Red Hook after brunch with friends and I fell in love with the whole neighborhood and scenery! It reminds me of the Bucktown neighborhood I really love in Chicago. It's trendy but chill and relaxed. I was here on a saturday afternoon and there were a few customers sipping drinks on the outside patio and a few more browsing their laptops inside. The music was great as they were playing some upbeat house music. The menu is simple, but the flavors really deliver. I ordered a soy latte with extra lavender. I took one sip and thought "summer" lol if that is even a word you would use to describe a latte! The lavender really made a regular soy latte just a bit more special. The baked goods selection was limited, but it could've been because it was super late afternoon. It's a great place to meet up with friends or just hang out by yourself and relax I turned my eyes to ceiling and noticed a beautifully hand painted tropical and colorful bird on the ceiling, and it's details like these that really make a place's charm stand out.

Still terrible, still rude. Even with business closing left and right the service at this place is still shitty. I hope they go under soon.

Yo, try the salted caramel cake or the oatmeal cream pie - life changing, my dudes. They also make a real good iced latte. Good atmosphere and dope artwork by Ouizi on the ceiling (she also did the flower mural outside across the street). Favorite place in West Village.

I love the Red Hook! I go here quite often to work and their coffee is always fresh and made with skill and care. Andy and the other baristas are super friendly and remember you if you stop in often, which makes the shop feel even more welcoming. This one is a little smaller than the Ferndale one, I think, but it feels super cozy in colder weather. The baked goods are excellent as well, and I love that they often have savory options like hand pies, hard boiled eggs, or similar. Make sure to try the blackberry almond tart. Or maybe don't - I want them all for myself, and they go quickly, haha!

Great location for a neighborhood coffee shop. My only issue is that the product is not consistent. Some Saturday's, my cortado is perfect and other Saturday's it is awful if it is a different barista.

My first time visiting the place. I was surprised of the amount of money I paid for two cappuccinos. I kinda thought out loud and the cashier replied that they pay a lot for the coffee they buy. I ended up googling the brand of coffee they use and realized that I paid just as much for the cappuccinos as they paid for the coffee beans, so not sure where she was going with that. Got my cappuccino and it was disgusting, I added a bunch of sugar just to make it drinkable. But I guess the birds on the ceiling made me feel better....??? I got ripped off today... smh ‍

My favorite coffee shop for sure. Their coffee is wonderful. I sometimes buy a bag for home. They will grind the beans for you. The baked goods are so delicious. They always have a friendly "hello" and smile when you enter. Please, never change.

Red hook maybe my favorite coffee shop now, yummy coffee AND vegan desserts?? The place and atmosphere is beautiful on the inside with art murals and great signs that make you want to keep supporting local coffee shops instead of hopping to a nearby Starbucks. I got the chocolate mocha which is sweet and not bitter at all- just the way I like getting my caffeine fix!

*Snarky Review Alert Met up for coffee meeting here. I wasn't familiar with the Ferndale location, but know of the hipster neighborhood in Brooklyn - won't hold it against them;) They had tiny marble tables perfect for one laptopped young professional each (there were almost 8 perched in a row when I arrived) or a pair of folks for conversation. The baristas are friendly, interior is cute, the baked goods are delicious. Had an blackberry almond tart for $4.50. So expensive, so good. I also had a coconut lime tea biscuit (?). I don't need this kind of temptation in my life! I gave Red Hook 4 stars, because it does fancy coffee shop well and doesn't deserve my cheap attitude.
