What a vibe!! Amazing breakfast sandwich. Huge open vibe, performance space.... And next door to Peoples Records! Cmon!!!

Love this restaurant. Came here for lunch over the weekend before riding our bike on the Dequindre cut and Belleisle. Staff is super friendly. It's a very cool space to hang out in. We had the lentil pita and the egg sandwich and coffee. All were excellent.

If you get anything, you have to get the breakfast sandwich. It is perfection. It has two buttery flaky biscuits with the softest scrambled eggs. The goat cheese and aioli make it so creamy and flavorful. They have few vegan friendly options in their menu. The space inside is large and open with such a cool vibe.

Good coffee. Amazing biscuit with French scrambled eggs. It's the only place that I'm aware of that makes French scrambled eggs in the city. There may be some fancy bistro somewhere that I'm unaware of YET but those scrambled eggs are amazing and the coffee and the service is great too. It's a cool place across from the Market to take a break from shopping.

Found a delicious vanilla latte; plus the dirty chai was super strong and had a unique spiced flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was excellent, soft but with crispy edges, just like I like it, and the yummy chocolate bites mmm so sweet. The eggy breakfast sandwich was perfect on a fluffy savory biscuit. It had an interesting cream cheese spread mixed in making the eggs nice and creamy and the pickle slices made for a nice surprise. I do wish we got a bit more of the side salad because I enjoy my greens! The neighborhood doesn't seem like the safest, but it was still great to stop by this chill spot by chance during our visit to Detroit!

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in Detroit. They're in a great location, right next to Eastern market, so it's a solid place to go to over the weekend while strolling the market. They're also a great place to work from, as there's plenty of space and it's not too loud. I love the dirty chai, but I think the main standout is the food. They have a great selection of pastries and sandwiches that I think are far superior to what you find in most coffee shops. They're also connected to a plant and vinyl shop, and I haven't been, but it looks like they do local music shows as well. They also have really interesting and fun dishware. The vibes are more industrial and it's a huge space, so I really like the setup. The staff is super friendly. The only callout I would make is to be sure to look up the hours before going because they are closed or hosting events sometimes.

My wife and I were at at the eastern market around 11 AM. All the usual eating spots in the market had lines outside. She has to go to restroom. We hopped in the car left the market. I saw the sign and open door on this place. Made a right off of Gratiot on to a brick alley. Follow it around back. I found a parking lot and an open back door. Wife answered the call. I ordered food and coffee. She had a pour over decaf and I had a regular coffee. She has the breakfast sandwich and I had the breakfast taco. Everything was 5 star. Nice place to hang out or meet up with a group.

Stumbled on this gem on google and I was not disappointed! They have this vegan pizza that's delicious. The coffee is just ok. There is a record shop next door and they keep the attached door open as they play records from the shop themselves. Great workspace for students or WFH individuals. Nice place to catch up with a friend. Will definitely be frequenting this place when I can.

Best food! Lots of vegan & vegetarian options. Best ambience, light, big, open, airy coffee shop. Awesome coffee

Trinosophes / Warda Pâtisserie has some of the best buttermilk biscuits and breakfast sandwiches in town. Named one of the country's best new restaurants by Bon Appétit in 2019, Trinosophes is located across from Eastern Market and has ample parking for customers across the back entrance of the restaurant. From the food to the décor, Trinosophes proves that less is more. The dining area is simply decorated with plants and minimalist furniture, giving a bright and spacious feeling. Sometimes the most delectable meals are the simplest with high-quality ingredients. For brunch, I ordered a glass of 100% Traverse City cherry juice and a vegetarian breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, white cheddar, garlic aioli, and pickle. For non-Michiganders, Traverse City produces the best cherries in the state and is known for its cherry festival every summer. My breakfast sandwich tasted freshly made from homemade ingredients. The buttermilk biscuit was to die for - very fluffy, buttery, and soft - not hard and crumbly like the biscuits that are typically found at other cafés and restaurants. I don't think I can go back to eating other breakfast biscuits again. Pickles aren't typically found in breakfast sandwiches, but it went surprisingly well with the garlic aioli and the runny egg yolk. My sandwich was the definition of gourmet breakfast food. I'm not into pastries, but what was left looked tasty. I recommend visiting as early in the morning as possible for pastries because they run out quickly. Almost everything was gone when I arrived in the afternoon. I will be returning for the biscuits and to try other menu items. Definitely one of the best new restaurants in Detroit and a must-visit for its drinks, food, and pastries.
