    The Kitab Cafe in Hamtramck is a really nice place where people who love coffee gather to enjoy their favorite drinks. When I walked in, I immediately liked the cozy and relaxed feeling. The soft lights and the smell of coffee being made made it feel really comfortable. I sat down, drank my coffee, and watched all the people talking about books and having fun. Now, let's talk about the coffee itself. The people who work at Kitab Cafe are really good at making coffee. They make sure that every sip tastes great. Whether you like regular coffee or something more unique, they have it all. I really enjoyed the taste and quality of their drinks. If you want to go to a place where you can have a really yummy cup of coffee, I suggest you go to Kitab Cafe in Hamtramck. Even though I didn't check out their books, I could see that everyone there really loves their coffee. It's a cool experience that you shouldn't miss.

    I’ve been there 3 times since the opening, and every time I go I don’t want to leave. Such a calming place feels like a cozy second home. Everything from the sandwiches, coffee, tea, and the sweets are fresh and delicious. Feels incredible to have such a beautiful, clean, and calming Cafe and bookstore 2 minutes away. Would recommend it to literally everyone I know and don’t know.

    Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the distinctive ambiance of the cafe. It offers much more than mere sustenance in the form of drinks and food. Rather, it provides a dynamic atmosphere that fosters both an enjoyable vibe and an environment conducive to learning. In a world where reading has become a declining pastime, this cafe has ingeniously combined the love of books with one of the most popular products - coffee. It creates a space that not only satisfies one's desire for a warm drink or baked goods, but also encourages and stimulates the act of reading. I am deeply grateful for the establishment of this cafe, as it truly meets a need within the community.

    Nicely decorated Cafe with a beautiful concept. You can read spiritual books while enjoying coffee or tea. I was actually surprised how good the Adani tea was. Nice relaxing atmosphere and great customer service!

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting this coffee shop/book store and I have to say, it exceeded all of my expectations. The coffee was absolutely amazing - rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. The atmosphere was also fantastic - cozy, relaxing, and the perfect spot to curl up with a book. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the selection of books was impressive. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a comfortable place to relax and read. Five stars all around!

    This is a really surprising place in the middle of Hamtramck. It is a really well-appointed coffee shop nestled into a simple book store. The atmosphere is great if you want to pull out your laptop or a book. If you live nearby, this must be one of the best choices around. If you're hinting around Detoit to discover unique coffee shops, make sure Kitab is on your list.

    The vibes of the cafe/library is serene. Though space is limited, I was able to find a seat. Nice selection of menu items from drinks, sweets, to sandwiches. I ordered the Holbrook and the sandwich was served hot - just the right amount and rather filling Alhamdulillah. The jalapeños and chipotle sauce added a nice kick :)

    I recently visited Kitab Cafe and I must say, I was blown away by the quality of their coffee. The latte I ordered was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly balanced and had just the right amount of frothiness. I could taste the quality of the coffee beans used in every sip. It was also beautifully presented, which made the experience even more special. The café itself is very cozy and welcoming. The decor is stylish and modern, yet still maintains a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable about the coffee they serve, which added to the overall experience. I felt like I was in the hands of true coffee experts! I must say, Kitab Cafe has definitely become one of my favorite coffee spots in town. The quality of their coffee is top-notch and their latte is simply amazing. If you're a coffee lover like me, then this place is a must-visit. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious coffee make it the perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends or just enjoy a quiet moment alone. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great coffee experience.

    I loved this place as soon as I walked in! Everyone there is so kind, including the customers. They use La Colombe beans and even have the oat draft on tap, which is delicious. I don't know any other place in Michigan that has one! Definitely my top 5 fave coffee shops in metro Detroit.

    Absolutely must visit! We drive all the way from Rochester Hills to this cafe because of how good they are. My son got the salted caramel oat milk draft last time . I usually don’t drink sweetened beverages, but I took a sip from it and fell in love. I plan on heading again there very soon!:)
