" I love coming to Cafe Sous Terre! Now, this may sound a little dramatic, but the desserts here felt like a little piece of heaven when I had them! The staff was attentive to my needs and they made me feel valued. Sometimes it can be very busy, but it’s worth the wait. A perfect hangout spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm in love with this place! The atmosphere is cozy and perfectly designed – you feel like you're stepping into a little slice of France. I tried the croque monsieur and it was decadent; you could taste the layers of flavor. The only downside is that it can get busy, but it's well worth the wait. I highly recommend trying their baked goods, especially the pain au chocolat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a regular at Cafe Sous Terre since it opened! Everything they offer is made with attention to detail. The food is delicious, and the drinks are crafted to perfection. The baristas are cheerful and attentive. My only wish is for a bit more seating, it's often packed and I have to wait for a spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe is a wonderful addition to the Detroit scene! I had the chance to try their tortellini salad, and it was refreshing and delightful. The atmosphere is stylish without being overly pretentious. I can see why so many locals frequent it. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a cozy little spot! I enjoyed my time here so much that I lost track of time while working on my laptop. The ambiance is warm and very inviting. I ordered a matcha latte and it was crafted perfectly. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their food options as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great little cafe hidden in midtown! The space is charming and unique, and I love how it has a speakeasy vibe to it. I enjoyed a light brunch here with some friends. The food was just average but the atmosphere and service definitely made up for it. I’ll be back to try their cocktails next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience overall! I found this cafe by complete accident and I feel so lucky to have discovered it. The ambiance is casual yet sophisticated. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and they make an incredible espresso. The staff was friendly and engaging. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)
