"We came in about 15 mins after open…it was very calm & luckily a sunny day. The building is very clean & bright. Love the live plants and understated holiday decorations. Food was excellent. I got the Breakfast Plate & my partner got a piece of the Ube Honey Cake with Coconut, both were very delicious!! Also tried their house made syrups the Spice & Salted Caramel lattes were both the right amount of sweet but could taste the coffee, perfect mix of espresso and sweet. Staff very friendly & personable as well I will absolutely be coming back & I dare say this is now one of my fav coffee/breakfast spots in Detroit :)"

"The Porter is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, the space felt warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed. The staff were genuinely incredible: attentive without hovering, kind, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. I tried the smoked chicken sandwich, the curry soup, and a Maritozzi, and every single thing was outstanding. The chicken sandwich was perfectly balanced: tender, flavorful, and layered with fresh greens and just the right amount of richness. The curry soup was comforting and aromatic, the type of bowl that makes you slow down so you don’t miss a single flavor. The Maritozzi was UNREAL. Pillowy soft, lightly sweet, and something I’ll be thinking about until I come back. Between the thoughtful menu, the relaxed atmosphere, and the stellar service, The Porter is easily one of my new favorite spots. Can’t wait to return and try more."

"What a great new cafe this is! Perfectly named, since it's near the intersection of Grand and Porter. We enjoyed a lunch of a buckwheat galette with egg, an egg salad sandwich, cocoa and cappucino and of course a piece of that stunning multi-layer cake. A welcoming destination with different spaces depending on your mood, including a community table. Friendly and energetic staff and a menu that's strong with both vegan and non-vegan dishes."

"This morning I got to sit and dine in and it was such a treat! I had an egg sandwich and avocado toast which were both delicious, and a hot matcha latte to drink was the perfect companion. I’m so excited to come hang out here often, the space is so cozy and I got to meet people and have great conversations."

"Such a wonderful cafe with the best vibe! Great selection of delicious breakfast, lunch, pastry, and beverage options (plus breakfast all day). I really enjoyed their spin on the full breakfast plate, especially the roasted root veg and two types of toast (sourdough and milk bread made in house). The service is wonderful, too. The staff there is really nice, they put a lot of love and care into the food and experience. The cafe itself is beautifully put together, full of light, and offers several seating options. Come and see for yourself what makes The Grand Porter so special!"
