The atmosphere was very nice, my drink was wonderful but i didnt like the guy preaching about religion to me. We loved the brick walls and the views of downtown.

Review №15

Very understaffed and the cream in my drink tasted spoiled. No time to go back wasted all my time on a parking meter waiting for a drink. I am not blaming the server she was doing her best but not a good first experience. And trust me I know service hasnt been great at many places lately but this was awful especially since my drink was awful too.

What a magnificently cool place! Every detail is so stinkin well thought out. Not only is the 1920s decor impecable, the menu is outstanding too. They really know their coffee! They also have wonderfully crafted sandwiches and smoothies and even have vegan items as well! This is the kind of place where you can sit out on the patio for hours, listening to the live music, watching the city move. I cant wait to go back!

You’ll never find better coffee, better food, or better service. The atmosphere, the creations on the menu - it’s all top notch. This is the luxury coffee experience that you won’t find anywhere else. Stay as long as you can, the delicacies are endless!

My favorite coffee shop. We cant take a trip to the Farmers Market without also walking downtown to Rhema. Coffee, sandwiches, and staff are all wonderful. I wouldnt recommend going if youre in a hurry, but the chill vibe is perfect for relaxing and chatting.

Review №27

This place feels like home away from home. If you’re looking for excellent espresso and bubble tea, this is the place you want to be. Peaceful atmosphere, flappers-themed, plenty of seating, and awesome customer service.....Update: I deducted a star. Prices are going up and are ridiculously high now and the deals are going down. For example, 15 stars used to get you a free drink and now you just get 30% off...the reasonable price for a coffee.

Review №35

This is one of the best cafes Ive been to in Michigan. I recently discovered it. It is located in flint downtown. The ambiance of this place was so cosy and it had kind of an antique vibe with red curtains and brick wall. Its not very spacious but the whole vibe of this place was great. The menu was also interesting they had quite a few drinks from coffee frappuccinos to smoothies. They also had sandwiches, crepes and waffles. I ordered there special chocolate cake with strawberries and vanilla icecream. I absolutely loved it. The cake was served warm and when you cut into it you can literally see warm melted chocolate coming outside. The taste was so so good and it went so well with the vanilla icecream and strawberries. It really enhanced the flavor. They also had brownies which looked so gooey and delicious. I also had their latte and it was one of the best ones Ive had. The prices werent bad either. Overall i had a great experience here and would highly recommend this place to everyone. Definetly worth trying.

Great atmosphere and human interaction. Talked about the company and what their mission is. Made me a drink of their choice which was fun and interactive. Knowledgeable about the background and open to conversation. Didnt make me feel like a number in a assembly line. Overall, would come again even though I am not from the area.

I was excited to come in with my boyfriend for the first time. Walked by and I knew I had to come in for a visit. The vibe and aesthetic reminded me of a little coffee shop back home that I used to go to. We came in and I got a Cappuccino, made like a Latte, with extra foam and cream. As easy as it was to make, it could have used a little sugar. So I was free to add as much as I wanted myself. I also got the Yolks On You Breakfast Sandwich, which was amazing AF. The front was very small, so I decided to check out the back room, which was brilliant. The only thing I would say I disliked was that the furniture looked old. Which is cute, yet I could tell most of the furniture was greasy and covered in dust. I will return someday. And Im sure Id love to even more. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping in.

My girlfriend and I came by and stopped in the city, and wanted a quick bite to eat and coffee. She decided to get the red velvet coffee (photo included) and I got “the flapper” sandwich, with bacon. Lemme say, the flapper is hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bacon gives it such a good kick, and was full of flavor. My girlfriend loved her red velvet coffee, and the presentation was awesome. Not to mention the interior design is flawless. I recommend everyone to come by.

I loved my club sandwich and the side salad was also very good. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is charming. I love the chandeliers and the red velvet curtains, the roses on the table was also a nice touch. The beautiful lounge furniture is beautiful. I wasnt in love with my strawberry smoothie but I will be coming back. Looking forward to trying some other menu items and specialty coffee drinks. See you soon!

Review №59

Decided to get some sandwiches today because Ive enjoyed the food here before. Im not usually one to complain but the sandwich I received today was terrible. The bacon was not cooked or hardly at all and I had to cook it myself. Upon deconstructing my sandwich I saw the sad excuse for an egg over on one corner of the sandwich and the small smear of apple butter only in the center of the bread. Very disappointing 😕

Be prepared to take a journey back in time, when you stop into Cafe Rhema. Swinging tunes will greet you as you choose from wide selection of espresso drinks. However, if coffee isnt your thing, Cafe Rhema also offers a variety of smoothies, teas, sodas, and gourmet sandwiches. Highly recommend if youre looking for a warm, inviting cafe experience.

The food, coffee, and tea here are exceptional. Whenever Im in flint, this is my go-to. The staff is always nice, and the waffles and breakfast toasts are particularly good. If youve never been before, try the cappuccino. Sounds mundane, but their 6 oz cap is a treat. Quite strong but balanced with a really well rounded taste, it is one of the best cups of coffee in the state.

Just hosted a gratitude party for my clients at Cafe Rhema last night. The staff made everything worry-free and so easy for me to focus on connecting with my guests. On top of that the food wasn’t typical “catered food,” but was all freshly made and delicious! The atmosphere is very warm, welcoming, and relaxing. The staff are all very professional, friendly, and know what they’re doing. If you need to host an event, large or small, I highly recommend Cafe Rhema!

Ive just recently come across this little coffee house and im so so so so thrilled that I did! I love their coffee, their aesthetic and their food (the latte, waffles and the prohibition pig sandwich) are DEVINE) If you havent been there, highly suggest it!

Im from Detroit, and my boyfriend, a Flint native showed me this cafe... I am SO impressed! The decor is amazing on the eyes, nice and welcoming. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Even though they were out of tapioca balls for my bubble tea, the tea itself was still out of this world. I didnt even miss the bubbles! 5 out of 5 and will definitely return.

Its a cool little place and a great spot to meet up with friends downtown and have coffee. The food is always tasty and the coffee is amazing, I love their egg sandwich.

Versatile and FunctionalGreat place to study, get food, hold a meeting, and/or have a date. Has a rustic 1920s aesthetic in both environment, food, and music.Food and Drinks are pricey and student discounts only apply when ordering food, but has most of the trendy options with their own spin to it. (Boba Tea, Avocado Toast, Exotic Teas, etc)Customer service is spot on and employees care about specific dietary needs.Seating arrangements benefit party sizes up to 6 people, and have plenty of choices for people just looking for a solo table.Overall, a solid 9/10.-1 for prices. Portion sizes on foods not always worth the price. Still better than Starbucks in terms of options.
