Sweet Potato Sensations

Where do I begin… the service was great, the food was fresh and hot. I loved that the coffee mugs and plates were not the same at every table, I felt like I was at home. There was a comfortable, homey feeling. I loved the atmosphere and we will definitely be back!

If you haven’t been here for brunch yet, you’re missing out! My boyfriend and I went here before a show at Redord Theatre since it is right across the street. We sat down and our waitress was super friendly.
I ordered the Daddy-​O which is three large sweet potato pancakes with house-​made spiced turkey sausage patties. It was HUGE and absolutely wonderful. You MUST try this.
My boyfriend has the chop meal with the sweet potato grits which he really enjoyed as well!
I was very impressed with our service and the place filled up quickly (it is small) but if you go early, you should be able to get a seat.
The only reason I docked a star is because my mom ordered pies for Christmas from here and when we went to have them after Christmas dinner, we realized our plain cheesecake was actually a sweet potato cheesecake which bummed out my brother and the lemon chess pie wasn’t your traditional lemon chess.
We didn’t really like it due to the fact that it had a cornmeal taste to it, but I don’t want to downplay the quality of their desserts based on this fact alone.
Contrary to the lemon chess, the Peach Cobbler I was told by everyone that had it, was the best peach cobbler they had ever had.
So I’d recommend the Peach Cobbler over the Lemon Chess if you’re looking for holiday (or just because you love it) pies :)

This place is a hidden gem! Although I was hesitant while driving (kind of sketchy), it was totally worth it! The employees here are great! They were all very friendly and I was greeted with smiles even though I came in 10 minutes before closing. Unfortunately, they were out of the sweet potato ice cream, but I was able to try their sweet potato cheesecake and cookies with almonds/​chocolate chips. Both were beyond my expectations. You can really taste the unique sweet potato flavors in both baked goods. I will definitely be visiting again (hopefully not 10 mins before closing: P) so that I can experience the flavor of their sweet potato ice cream.

Very nice place across the street from the Redford Theatre. I am not crazy about sweets, but I certainly liked their «normal» food. Salmon croquettes were satisfying. Service was great. I definitely will return when I go to Redford Theatre next time.

Incredible.
My wife and I shared and tried the following :
Sweet Potato Cheesecake
Sweet Potato Coconut Pie
Sweet Potato Cobbler
Sweet Potato Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookie
Lemon Pie
They were all no joke. I caught the Holy Ghost because they were so good. Makes no sense how good they were. Will be taking some home back to Atlanta.

Great place. I’ve tried there cookies, sweet potato pie, all good in the hood. The prize here is the sweet potato cheesecake, it’s the best.

Absolutely Devine!!!
I had a turkey sandwich… so simple but yet so delicious.
Mini sweet potato pie (not my moms) but close enough :)

Amazing! Great food, great service, AMAZING WAFFLES!
My wife and I went this morning, had the chicken and waffles with sweet potato grits. Extremely delicious, best we’ve ever had. And the atmosphere was very welcoming. We will be back!

Well, it’s not in the best of neighborhoods but I gave it a shot anyway. Very long wait time for a carry out. I ordered the sweet potato Belgian waffle with the house spicy turkey sausage. The sausage was quite salty. It had the flavor of spice but wasn’t spicy hot. The waffle was ok, not enough syrup & no butter at all in the bag. I wanted to eat there but it was too warm in there for me. Ppl were fanning & workers were sweating. Overall, it was just alright. Maybe the pies are better.

I love this place. They keep thier establishment so clean and well organized. The service is wonderful. You can tell they really care about what they are doing and they are knowledgeable about their products. The food itself is so delicious. They have sweet potato everytging you can think of never knew i could love sweet potatoes so much. They also have other merchandise that you can purchase that is made in Detroit. I love that they keep true to thier roots. The are un the middle of an up and coming area and they dont let thier surroundings affect thier business negatively. I will come back to this place as often as possible.

We stopped by before a show at the Redford Theatre, and they stayed open a little later than their normal hours for us, which was nice. We all ordered the sweet potato cheesecake which was seriously the best cheesecake I’ve ever eaten. Not too sweet with the perfect creamy texture… seriously, never make cheesecake yourself. Order this one and take it to your next party! We also took home a dozen cookies — red velvet and chocolate chip, both of which were chewy, sweet goodness. We actually bake, but these were JUST like homemade… if not better. The young lady working the counter was very nice as well. Check them out!

To be honest I did not know what to expect, but I am so glad I went. The atmosphere is warm and enviting, as is the owner who came to visit our table. The best thing on the whole menu (I had the fish croquets), hands down, no questions asked — the sweet potato pancakes. They were melt in your mouth, no need for anything else on top, or side of them to just savor and enjoy. I also really liked the sweet potato grits but the potato pancakes made my day. This place is only 15 minutes away from my house in Southfield so you know i will be back.

Don’t let the modest-​looking building keep you from stepping through the doors, because there is deliciousness inside! We stopped in for a quick bite as part of a fun evening including watching «Singing in the Rain» across the street at the historic Redford theater.
They have a juice bar at one end of the counter and ice cream at the other, and the middle is full of delightful bakery treats including pies, cakes, cookies, and other delicacies featuring sweet potatoes.
Their meal menu includes «the most delicious soup ever,» according to one patron in line waiting to order. I asked the young woman behind the counter what her favorite meal is, and she said definitely the Chicken and Waffles. I ordered that, and my husband got their turkey sandwich.
I have only ordered chicken and waffles one other time somewhere else and I was not impressed, but I will go back again, and again, just for this meal. The three huge, meaty chicken wings were perfectly fried, but the waffle was a slice of heaven! Sweet potato, cinnamon, and nutmeg made this waffle worthy of the title of «dessert.» No syrup needed. Absolutely delicious!
The place was busy, but things ran smoothly, service was quick and the staff was fabulous, taking time to have real conversations with us and the other diners.
It’s a great find!

All out of sweet potato fries… Had black Eyed pea and collard greens soup. Soooo full of flavor. Husband Had The Chop Meal. Fried turkey chop with sweet pot grits and sweet pot waffles His plate was clean. We’ll be back soon. Service was great, food came fast.

I love the Baby Cakes the most. Also enjoy the Sweet Potato/​pecan pie. The black Eyed pea soup is absolutely DELICIOUS! All the staff are friendly, especially the owner. The store is always clean and it’s a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your meal or treat… and free WiFi!

It’s been a LONG time since my tastebuds have done a happy dance like this before and it is all in thanks to that sweet potato cheesecake pie. I will tell you that you won’t find another cheesecake like this (not even at that place in 12 oaks mall). I urge anyone looking for a sweet new experience to try it!!!
I wasn’t a huge fan of their sweet potato muffins but that may have been because the sweet potato cheesecake trumps all.
The location is right across the street from the Redford Theater so you can catch a flick AND follow up with your sweet tooth.
I’m looking forward to having more locals (and everyone else) try this place and grow to like it as much as I do. It does not disappoint.

This was the worst sweet potato pie I have ever had. I couldn’t get it down. I read all the reviews before I went and I was highly disappointed. The pie was dark and chunky.

Terrible … cold food no coffee was available when we got here. Hot chicken cold waffles and pancakes for brunch Saturday! They need to stick to cakes and pies cause their restaurant ethic is terrible. Dont go!

The BEST sweet potato pie!

Cute little bakery with lots of tasty treats — sweet potato cheesecake, cobblers, muffins, cookies, ice cream, etc. The sweet potato cake with cream cheese frosting is really good. Give this place a try!
