The Red Hook - Midtown

Crema's Take

This midtown Detroit spot wins hearts with its thoughtfully designed space that balances coziness with modern style, creating an ideal setting for lingering over coffee or meeting friends without feeling rushed. While coffee quality can be inconsistent and service doesn't always shine, the real draw is the exceptional pastries—reviewers rave about standout items like their oatmeal crème pie cookie—paired with a genuine commitment to plant-based options and a refreshingly unpretentious vibe that feels both polished and welcoming.

Staff here are literally never friendly or warm. Coffee is about standard, usually way too hot and not too tasty. The only thing I like about this place is the atmosphere and the vegan peanut butter bars. It’s also in a pretty convenient location if you’re over this way, but nothing I’d ever go out of my way for.

Matt: “I appreciate the amenities in the bathroom even though I didn’t use them. And the availability of the bathroom” Adeline: “I like the way the architectural features dispersed the sound within the cafe.” Alex: “great atmosphere and wonderfully bright. One of the best mochas I have ever had, made with authentic Michigan Guerney’s chocolate milk!! (Smaller size mocha was $6…a bit much).” Emmett: “cool music :)”

So beautiful! Love the space and casual atmosphere. Not too busy but also not a ghost town. Coffee is tasteful. I got an oatmeal crème pie cookie. It was the best I’ve ever had. The baristas were awesome. Nothing special but did what they were supposed to do.

Absolutely adore this place. Talk about a classy look with a modern vibe. This place is sheik! I love the different choices, the cool process and plentiful options. Have been coming to the Ferndale location and honestly you can’t go wrong no matter which location you choose to go to. Definitely have made trips out of the way to come here and soak in the vibe for a moment. The coffee and food options are always made to perfection I have never had a bad experience here and you get what you pay for. Want great coffee served by attractive people with awesome personalities? want home made breakfast options like a hand made pop-tart? Want to eat a delicious delicate item in front of a beautiful view of midtown? Get hooked at The Red Hook, you won’t regret it.

(Plant-based Reviewer) LOVE this place! Definitely my go-to coffee shop when I'm in town. I had an oat milk latte and it was not only beautiful, but delicious. The Barista's actually seem like they enjoy their job and it makes for a great atmosphere and great service. They even have multiple vegan pastries to choose from! Kudos for setting the example of what an awesome coffee shop is supposed to be!
