Crema's Take

Nestled in Detroit, this vibrant spot seamlessly blends coffee culture with a full bar, offering everything from thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks to an impressive 40+ beers on tap, making it equally perfect for a solo coffee session or a gathering of 20+ friends. The modern, energetic space feels genuinely welcoming with its beautiful design and cozy corners ideal for informal meetings, while the knowledgeable and friendly staff clearly takes pride in creating an experience that appeals to everyone—from teenagers to folks in their seventies.

We had breakfast here with beer. Fun! We loved the space and the people were great. The restaurant and bathroom was very clean and beautiful. The beer wall is cool. There is a decent selection including some NA options. For the food...do you know how they say high quality ingredients makes for great food? Well unfortunately the breakfast sandwiches are made with low quality ingredients resulting in a less-than-desireable sandwich. The eggs appear to be cooked either is some type of boiling water option or the microwave. The sausage patties are very much processed food and the bacon is sliced paper thin. It appears as though the sandwich, after assembled, is microwaved to make the cheese melt. I'm not complaining, I'm glad we gave this place a try, but as someone who relies on consumer reviews often, I believe it is important to give an accurate description.

Went to social brews with a group of more than 20 people ranging an age from 15–70. This place was awesome! There was something for everyone. Probably 40+ different beers on tap, 6 to 8 wines, soda, coffee drinks, cocktails, and mock tails. Loved that there were some local selections too. The food menu was varied and everyone commented that their choices were delivered quickly and were delicious. The big tables let everyone move around and talk to other people. And the card and board games were an added bonus. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional.

I went here for an informal event with a local nonprofit and they had a really nice cozy space for a small gathering. I had some fries and a samosa and they were really good (and I really appreciated that they had good vegan options!), but the standout for me was a London fog latte. It was perfectly sweetened, not too much, not too little, and I noticed all beverages, alcoholic and non, were poured so generously as to be almost physics-defying. The folks who work here really know how to use surface tension to their advantage. They were also super friendly and the service was fantastic. Really nice place!

We had an amazing experience at Social Brews in Detroit. It is a GEM!! The venue is modern, vibrant, and full of great energy—it truly feels like a unique spot in the city. The drink menu is fantastic, with a wide variety of creative, well-crafted options that really stand out. The food was equally impressive. The paneer cheese cubes, chicken wings, samosas, and everything we tried were incredibly tasty and paired perfectly with the drinks. You can tell a lot of thought went into the menu. What really sets Social Brews apart, though, is the staff. Their energy, attentiveness, and genuine focus on creating the best possible experience made the night feel special. They made every guest feel valued and created a personal, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend—this place is a must-visit. And is a GREAT place to hold a private event - personal or corporate!

Social Brews in Detroit is the spot! It's got this super cool, modern vibe that just makes you wanna hang out. They've got every drink you could think of, plus a massive selection of beers on tap and you use a prepaid bracelet to pick, which is pretty awesome. Seriously, their Aperol spritz is fire. It's the perfect place to grab a drink and just chill with friends. They also have tons of board games to play and a sweet outdoor area. If you're looking for a great place in the city to socialize, this is it!
