Warda
1286 McClellan, Detroit, MI
Crema's Take
“Warda is a Detroit gem that earned its James Beard recognition through genuinely distinctive pastries and drinks you won't find anywhere else—think Queen of Sheba desserts that linger in your memory months later and cardamom rose lattes that feel like a warm embrace. The shaded outdoor seating and unhurried vibe make it perfect for lingering over coffee and a crispy spinach coca pastry, while the friendly counter staff and reasonable prices create the kind of welcoming neighborhood feeling that keeps people coming back. This is where traditional flavors and skillful baking meet a family-friendly atmosphere that celebrates taking your time.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Came in on a Saturday morning and were greeted immediately by the sweet ladies at the counter. We ordered the garlic quiche slice, spinach coca pastry, baklava latte, and the cardamom rose latte. The pastries were OK. You can tell they are homemade and from scratch which is the…
