Crema's Take
“The bright, Instagram-worthy space and house-made bagels with creative cream cheeses make Mad Nice feel like the kind of place you'll want to linger, though service can be frustratingly slow and disorganized during busy times. If you catch it on a quieter morning with a bartista like Akira, you'll get thoughtful drink recommendations and genuine hospitality in one of Detroit's most joyful-feeling cafes. It's worth visiting for the vibe and pastries, just maybe avoid peak Sunday mornings.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

See all on Google →Akira was a fabulous batista - cheerful, gave good recommendations & made us feel welcomed. This cafe has SUCH a chic & bright atmosphere that you cannot help but to feel joy the instant you walk in. I also liked how it was connected to madnice restaurant but you're not bothered…

I’ve still never been to the Mad Nice restaurant, but the cafe side is a great morning study spot! The drinks are always on-point, and the house-made bagels and cream cheeses are just 😋 I love it. WiFi & Power Outlets are always a bonus for me, too. Thanks for being a little…
