Kahve Cafe — Restaurant in Clawson

Edit after 2025 Renovation/New Ownership: Well, as with most renovations these days, they've turned a cozy local coffee place into a sterile "modern" shop. Looks like 90% of other coffee shops, with no personality. Staff seemed pretty uninterested in a weird way. Disappointing, but such is life. I'll give it another try when they've had some time to find their groove, but, I can't say there's any reason to go here over any other coffee place downtown.

Old Review: Nice calm and cozy coffee shop with good vibes. Coffee is solid and staff was very friendly. Seemed like a good place to hang out and have a chill morning. My only knock on it is the scone I had was decidedly Not Good. Essentially inedible. I'll probably give the food another shot, but doesn't seem to be the reason to go here.

Worth going in for a cup if you're in...

I come to Kahve nearly every morning and it has been my cafe of choice for almost a year now. It's a hometown cafe with a cozy ambiance ideal for working silently on your own or chatting with friends. The staff is friendly and always cheerful. The drinks are wonderful, consistently blended properly, mixed with care, and with a nice seasonal rotation. That's not even to speak of the cultural range the menu provides, with Mexican and Turkish influences that you don't often see in other cafes.

Furthermore, Kahve is a pillar of the community, acting as a host for many city and community events and meetings. In that way, and others, it's very much more than just a simple cafe to me. Rather, it is a home...

Cute space, plenty of places to sit incl. Couches with throws, made comfy by dark wood, tons of art on the walls, great service. My only half star down was looking for something more substantive to eat with coffee, and they didn't have fresh iced tea for my wife. That was due to a refrigerator swap that will be removed today, so it was a no fault zone.

I know groups of 18 have gone and ordered big coffee drinks while others get a cup to go with a free refill. It did Not smell of burned coffee, nor was ground coffee in the air. A decent blend - a real surprise! I am looking forward to...
