WARDA PATISSERIE

So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood! The shakshuka bun is so delicious! A must-try. The kouign-amann was perfect, beautifully caramelized and buttery. The "chausson aux pommes" has no cinnamon, which is exactly how I like it. Not disappointed at all! I’ll definitely be back to try more pastries!

This place is amazing! The pear tart was the best I’ve ever had. I loved the French music playing too. I Shazammed a couple of songs.

First time visiting Warda’s new location! Same unique and delicious pastries combined with a beautiful patio and soothing garden, can’t recommend it enough 😁

What’s there not to love about this place! I went to the Midtown location a couple of years back and I truly did enjoy it. This last weekend I went to the Little Village (not realizing I was actually going to that location when I entered “Warda” into the GPS). It was the best GPS mistake I made ever! The location of the Cafe, which looks like it’s inside a small house, with a beautiful patio/porch, is just mesmerizing. The pastries and treats available make it so hard to decide what you want (because you just want them all!). And the service! “Top notch” doesn’t even come close to describe the hospitality and welcoming feeling I felt when making and picking up my order. It’s quite a drive from Rochester to Detroit, but I would hands down drive there again JUST to go to Warda. Highly recommended!! 👌🏼

I have been to Warda countless times since they moved to Little Village, we love having such a great pastry shop in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, they have no signs saying that they do not allow laptops. Today I went in the shop, spent over $25 on pastries and drinks, and sat down to get some work done when less than 5 minutes later I was told I wasn’t allowed to be on my laptop. It was ~2 hours before closing time, they had a full pastry case and only one other table occupied. I have a hard time understanding the reasoning behind this - in theory, I could be watching Netflix on my phone for 2 hours with no policing, but me working on my laptop isn’t okay? Additionally, it seems unfair to make your employees be the bad cop and have to tell paying customers that they can’t use their laptops instead of being upfront about the policies.

The quality of everything is superb. Delicious, well made, and imaginative pastries along with good coffee and an amazing atmosphere. Includes a tiny lawn surrounded by a native plant garden and little walking path. I’m so impressed by the space. Not to mention everyone there is super kind and friendly. In love with Warda!

Lovely place. A must visit Patisserie and coffee place. Very special.

Really nice spot in Detroit not a lot of varieties other than that everything is really good

The pastries are absolutely exquisite, and the coffee's just as lovely. It's within walking distance from where I live, so I thought I'd pop over and work from Warda's instead of home for a change. But it turns out they have a no-laptop policy, no Wi-Fi either! The barista kindly pointed out the little sign taped near the register that I'd completely missed.

Decided to check out their new location. I would frequent the midtown location when I lived in the area. This location has a nice vibe with a cool setup. If you like modern patisserie it's worth checking out.

Stella wanted to go here and check them out. They are a James Beard award recipient and it was well earned. Stella ordered a Mango Cheesecake which was light and creamy. Absolutely delicious! I asked for a Savory Torte, also amazing. Drinks were a latte and a hot chocolate. A very nice setting for decadent treats. There are seats inside and out. A lovely place to go.

Delicious & beautiful pastries on Detroit's east side. Great way to spend a couple of hours exploring the grounds.

What a cool space! Classic old farmhouse converted as part of the whole "Shepherd" project. In short, a place to spend an hour or two when exploring Detroit. Warda's second location is clean and organized with quick service and a simple display of unique pastries, sweets and quiche. Standard coffee options and a couple fun lattes. I had the baklava latte and quiche. Both excellent. Kids enjoyed the cookies immensely.

Nice desserts and attractive surrounding. Menu is limited and they have coffee and tea. Everything is high quality. Seasonal Tart was 11 dollars, 4 for a cookie.

Very nice vibe, GREAT pastries and coffee. Nice area outside to sit if weather permits. I'm glad to see the area improving, as a life long Eastsider it warms my heart to see my city come back!

Very boujee and very delicious. Drinks took a minute to get made because the coffee bar is very small and there's only one person working it, food was amazing. Lovely atmosphere, but very expensive!

The food is very mid. The Kouign Amman is criminally bad. The $10+ savory pastries are heated in a microwave, so served soggy. Coffee is good, but the house syrups are twice as sweet as needed. Turbinado as the default is nice, but sharing an open container with randos isn't the quaint flex the shop thinks it is. Staff are generally nice, but the restaurant itself has inhospitable vibes. Inside seating is cramped, while outside seating is mostly low chairs with janky coffee tables that are very uncomfortable to eat on. According to the Free Press, they chose this on purpose to increase table turnover... so welcoming! Laptops are not allowed, which is whatever... but they have no signage on this policy anywhere in the store or on the website. People still do it, but staff selectively tells people to put them away. Something about watching a grown adult get admonished to put their things away with no forewarning is wildly off-putting, even as a bystander. I'm giving two stars because the coffee is pretty good and the grounds of the business complex are very lovely. All in all, I'd say it's a solid place to grab a to-go coffee for a walk, but not a good place to eat or hang out.

Incredible space to have a bite on the patio or inside. Wonderful pastry's and small bites. Friendly staff. Hidden Gem!
