Monarch Market Cafe
10099 W Eleven Mile Rd, Ferndale, MI
Crema's Take
“Monarch Market Cafe in Ferndale has earned its reputation as Oakland County's most charming neighborhood spot, where manager Jeremiah's thoughtful drink recommendations and the cafe's made-in-house recipes create a genuinely personal experience. Their pastries and bagels are so sought-after they sell out quickly, and the fresh-baked ciabatta sandwiches pair perfectly with their specialty lattes in a warm, inviting space that's ideal for lingering conversations or solo work sessions.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

My croissant and latte were just as expected - fresh and tasty. The staff was extremely friendly and this is not a dish at them whatsoever, but to whoever runs this place… The service here is just not acceptable for the price of a cafe visit. I think I was more frustrated with…
Even compared to all the cafes in Birmingham — which need serious improvement IMO — Monarch is still the most adorable cafe in Oakland County. Their bagels are unreal (and quickly sell out so be early) with a perfect ratio of lox:cream cheese, whereas Jersey Bagel has too much…
