    The atmosphere is great, I can imagine this being a popular hang out spot. Food is great and well priced, and service is very quick for handmade everything! I loved the Quesadilla and the chai milkshake, would highly recommend!

    This place has such a cool atmosphere, lots of dairy free options for your coffee (my fav is oat milk). I had a donut and quesadilla as well as a flavored latte. It all tasted amazing, and the service is fast and really kind ☺️ I will definitely be back!

    It was a sweltering hot week, I'm in town for work, and after work I have nothing to do. So! I look for local coffee shops as a hobby. This was a mile from my hotel. First I like the laid back but very clean atmosphere. I am instantly greeted with a friendly smile, and a greeting. He even asked how my day was, and when I told him my reasons for being in the area we struck up a short conversation. Definitely made an impression. I went back every day for a week. And he began calling me Fort Wayne Mike! Personable and professional, as well as prompt. Service 10/10 My coffee was superb, fresh, hot and robust. I have high standards and the coffee did not disappoint. My sampling of a drink special called the Cartel was a excellent hot, chocolate flavored drink with a bit of spice. Drinks were great. 10/10 The atmosphere was quaint and comfortable but nothing flashy. More my preference. I like the local feel. I've never been one for too much clutter in a coffee atmosphere. It was during quarantine so I could understand also that it wasn't terribly busy but for my experience was very comfortable. 8/10 All in all, I didn't see much in the Detroit area that impressed, but I found one of my favorite coffee shops and someday I'll be back. Thank you again, sir, for your service and for your shop being the high point of a work furlough trip. I'm sorry I forgot to write this sooner, the last year was a whirlwind for me. I hope life is treating you well!

    The simple, humble coffee shop has developed a culture and environment contested by no other establishment. It's remarkable seeing people from various backgrounds and hobbies come together. I've made so many friends here, and the owner Mike makes anyone feel like the only customer, always sharing stories and events that keep you coming back to hear what happened next.

    I've only had the pleasure of visiting a few times when I was in town, but the Dovetail has earned the kudos of being my favorite Coffeehouse of all time. It's run by the owner, Mike, who is the best kind of zany and has a great sense of humor. And he has an amazing memory! It's a uniquely eccentric hangout spot and has plenty of room for board gaming. I loved the milkshake and "Cartel". I can't tell you how many locals I have referred to this place because I feel so passionately that anyone within a 30 mile radius should check it out. From what I've seen, Mike treats every customer like his bud, and it makes me feel personally valued and welcome. Thank you for a wonderful experience every time!

    Quaint coffee shop along Hoover. A good place to stop by after running errands in the area. Owner is very friendly and helpful. There is a big potential for the place considering it's spacious and there are lots of tables. They also have open mic on certain nights. They also probably offer quick bites. Restroom is tidy and clean. You can do quick work here as they have wifi. You would appreciate though that they are improving the interior like new art paintings on the wall.

    Fun coffee shop! Had a local feel and interesting decor. The coffee was good and the service was great. I would recommend going here if you want to try some I retesting drinks and see interesting things.

    Visited here for the first time a couple days ago, and I absolutely love everything about this coffee shop! Really really cool atmosphere. Definitely gained a regular customer!

  • 5/5 Luca H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Dovetail never fails to make me feel productive, cozy, and relaxed all at the same time. I've been coming here for the past 7 years and it is my favorite coffeeshop. Mike is an absolutely wonderful guy and even better drink slinger. CHAW!

    I went for the first time with some friends and it was awesome! Perfect place to play board games, we were there for hours. The atmosphere is great, and I loved all the artwork displayed around the cafe. The walls formed a giant mural that was insanely cool! Not to mention they had real tasty drinks <3

    This place is great. I usually stop in before work. On Hoover road. The cider is amazing & so is the artwork

    We’re always looking for an independent coffee shop and we just hit on a good one if you’re in this area. We got to meet the owner, Mike. Ask about his band band and love for songwriting. It’s worth it to stop in and check out the murals. Good ☕️ ‼️ 👉🏼 tip for the owner, could use an upgrade on the bathrooms!

    This place has been on my "to go" list for almost 2 years now. So glad I finally got a chance to stop in. It is HUGE. Came in for a study date with a friend and we had absolutory no trouble finding a suitable space for the both of us. The owner is WONDERFUL. He was incredibly patient, kind, welcoming, and so warm. Coffee hit the spot and the food was delicious. One more note: the temperature is perfect inside. Not freezing cold like other coffee places, not overly warm either. There is also a small stage located in the main area of the shop. Coupled with the open layout of the venue, this place is perfect for casual hang outs, studying, small intimate gatherings, or just sitting in some very comfortable armchairs and looking at some of the beautiful murals on the wall.

    Went to Dovetail to enjoy a young person open mic night, what a fantastic time! The Dovetail is obviously very invested in their community and host other interesting groups (for instance, there's a drawing gathering monthly). It's cozy, has comfortable seating that lends itself to either a table top meal or game, or a coffee-and-chat session between a few friends. I highly recommend popping in.

    If Warren had a "hidden gem", this place would be it. Mike is a great guy, and offers an awesome variety of coffee and stories. It's a great place to study, catch up with a friend, or go to for an open mic night. If you're around, I definitely recommend you put this coffeeshop on your radar and check it out!

    The owner was working and is a really friendly guy with a sense of humor. Made me feel very welcome! Loved the drinks I got too. This is a Macomb county gem 💎!
