The Bottom Line Coffee House

Good coffee shop and vibe. The baristas are really flexible and will modify your drinks. The barista made me a classic macchiato :)

The sweets were also satisfying. We tried their brownie and their oatmeal cookie.

First time there. The place was super chill. Perfect sprinkling of people throughout the shop, with a mix of people studying and others hanging out conversating. The entire scene reminded me of a trendy coffee shop from 'name a current tv show'. It was all, very, picture-ess.
The mocha I ordered tasted fantastic and was delivered to me at a perfect temperature. Overall their menu was on the smaller side but I imagine they perfect the free items they server.

I love the ambiance of this place. Looks like a great place to read a good book and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

I love this place so much. They have spice hot chocolate like no other. The atmosphere is also so welcoming and inclusive. Baristas are always so nice and kind. Great place to do some studying. Also, they have board games and stuff so brining your friends is an awesome idea. Defiantly recommend.

Really nice, clean place with a gender neutral toilet. Warm atmosphere, great service and delicious coffe and tea for sale. The tea you can buy to take home. My favorite is femme power! They have a cute book reading section too. Also love the black lives matter sign and the pride and trans flags there. Truly feel comfortable and at home. <3

Cozy, comfortable, and quiet. The staff is friendly and happy to chat with customers at the bar. This is definitely my new favorite place to get some work done in the city! It's also easy to get to and has a lot of free street parking close by.

This review is not critiquing the space or the vibe although those were both just fine. This is a review of their absolutely Stellar espresso production and methods. I only ever drink straight shots with a touch of coffee, which means if people aren't doing it right or putting care into what they're doing I notice. This was the best cup I've had since I left the Portland area. This is one of the best two coffee shops we have in the whole metro area. Staff was extremely warm and friendly as well.

A really nice local spot, welcoming and cozy. Emphasis on cozy, tables and seating are limited. Reasonable prices, quality coffee, good service. Also quite involved in the local community, so it can be a great placed to meet Civic minded people.

Absolutely love this place! The hibiscus tea is my favorite. It’s a really relaxing place to get a quick bite or get work done. I work near by and I imagine this becoming my new place to get away.

Extra stars for always having the best music!!

One of my favorite cafes in the city by far. It has a lovely atmosphere and cute little alley you can tuck away in. The matcha 🍵 lattes and americanos are on point. Service is usually very friendly, they have poetry nights on Fridays and have rotating exhibits of local artists.

Amazing environment, James is a great Barista the art is incredible as well. I e purchased books as well as limited number prints from this establishment. Big surprise for me was the great tea selection along with open mic night on Fridays.

Absolutely phenomenal in every single way. Excellent coffee. Wonderful people. Lovely atmosphere. Wouldn't ask for anything more for a good place to meet or study. PS the cardamom latte is to die for.

Just saw this on CREATe show. Never been, but definitely on list to visit. AWESOME! CONGRATS

Bar none best coffee shop in the Detroit area. Great staff. Yummy coffee. Cool decor. Plenty of seating and outlets. Interesting and kind regulars. Owners SINCERELY care about the surrounding community. SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE.

My friend took me here, and this spot was awesome! Warm and cozy tucked in the basement with Wayne State students writing papers, a small library, a vinyl record collection and player, and some great tea!
Definitely worth your time.

I usually come when there is an open mic or performance. The atmosphere is nice and casual. The coffee and teas are great. My favorite orders have been the hibiscus tea and Chai latte. Their teas are great because they use loose leaves and put them in tea bags as opposed to prestored teas, that are typically crushed remains and not flavorful. Their hibiscus is literally the dried whole hibiscus flower.

Chai Tea Latte is the best I've ever had! My first time here was during a Friday open mic night and that immediately lead me to love this place. Awesome atmosphere and great place to study.

What a great little coffee shop in a hidden basement of a small building. The best thing about this place is that the staff is not pretentious, unlike a few other places in the city... and they also have "suspended coffee" where you can buy a coffee for some future patron who can't afford one. The only downside to this place is that it can get a bit crowded and stuffy on open mic nights.

the atmosphere of this place is so incredibly chill, the tea blends are to die for, and the baristas have the most interesting personalities. i highly recommend The Bottom Line for dates, hangouts, or just having alone time to work/chill!!

Funky and righteous, a mere three steps down from the Third Street Sidewalk, I left a suspended coffee for you. Any kind soul can for two dollars, recorded on a chalk board by the counter. A lot of homeless get a cuppa this way, so close to the rescue mission on Cass. Open to all means open to those without means to pay, thanks to suspended coffees.

For fun, drink your coffee outdoors in a narrow outdoor cafe between buildings. Spin vinyl, borrow a book or game from the patio set aside for sharing.

The bottom line could use some help. Flapper on the toilet has worn and thus, the tank doesn't fill and water goes down the drain. A set of planters began as a nice idea but has gone to weeds. I should have pulled the weeds. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow.

The Bottom Line is the community takes care of the Bottom Line.
