The Roost

"Great spot/environment in terms of coffee shops! Owner and employees are always friendly and welcoming, and just a nice place to have in the Detroit community. Always making improvements to the place to allow better customer experience. My go-to coffee place!"

"This place has become a Woodbridge neighborhood institution. The owners are always friendly, clever, and ready for great conversation when they're in the shop, and the other staff that are there balance excellent espresso-making with being courteously social. I walk by every morning when I take the kids to school, and there's almost always somebody waving at us through the window. I also head over there when I need to get a little work done in the evenings, and it's always the right move. Love this place."

"What an honor to be able to write a review for The Roost! Come! Try it for yourself and you will be grateful you found this hidden gem. The Roost’s employees will greet you with kindness and joy. They are patient and personable. They make each order individually and with much care. I love the sounds of the shop, the steamer and the espresso machine! They add the best ingredients and have various alternative milks of that is your preference. The prices are very reasonable. The Roost Baked GOODS! I generally would get the chocolate chip peanut butter cookie or the kitchen sink cookie, because they are cookies out of this world! One day, I decided to try coffee cake with sliced apples inside. It was literally, easily, the best coffee cake I have ever had. Another day, I tried some of the bread pudding accompanied with blackberries, raspberries, and a heavenly sauce. Again! The best bread pudding I have ever had! Why? Because The Roost’s owner is a professional chef and baker! So you are not getting something generic or store bought, you are getting something homemade with expertise and love! I will try to get pictures, the next time I indulge! Enjoy!!!"

"Wake up with The Roost and get your coffee as early as 6am! The staff are so welcoming, combined with a personal feel when dinning in, makes the Roost feel like you’re in your own nook."

"The Roost is another really great gem. The small shop has a meeting table. Tables on the sidewalk and hightop tables to meet and work. Like James Oliver, they make their own baked goods with an excellent selection. I really enjoy their pie and fruit bread. Add the typical super friendly Detroit service, and you have one of the nicest and most quaint coffee shops right near midtown."
