Interesting place. Staff is kinda rude but the food is good enough. They add on a 20% gratuity automatically no matter the party size, so keep that in mind, and I don't think we will be back unfortunately.

Now the place is open from 4:00 to 9:00 pm with delicious Mexican cuisine, is incredible tasting, the fish tacos! So good. I almost cry the Tortilla soup is spectacular, and the desserts are out of this world. Since they just start opening for dinner the restaurant called "Café de Olla" (coffee from a pot) the place is not busy at all, and we were lucky to enjoy all this wonderful dishes with a tasty margarita and a great Sangria. You have to try this new spot in a usual place.

We need more places like Muse, an urban oasis where you can sit quietly and forget your troubles. The omelettes are amazing and the potatoes are done just right. Avoid the steak and eggs, the steak is very tough. The service is professional and unobtrusive. Time to go back to evening hours Cafe Muse!

Very cute, small cafe with limited choices, but they were vegan, which was a blessing and tasted really good. Prices were a little high, but that comes with the territory of good vehan food. Waitress was extremely pleasant. Cafe gave off good vibes... we will be back

Wonderful and unique food, and friendly, expert wait staff. Cozy atmosphere make this a delightful experience. Vegetarian options: They gladly modified my order to fit my medical needs.

Good, not great. Very difficult to get a cup of coffee, let alone a refill, making it a questionable breakfast spot. The waffles were excellent, but the scrambled eggs seemed highly processed. Meh.

My friend and I decided to meet in Royal Oak for lunch today at Cafe Muse. Unfortunately, I feel that the restaurant did not provide very good value or service. To start, we ordered coffees. For about $5.50, we expected nice lattes/cappuccinos, only to find out that we were served something that was made in a machine-- not unpalatable, but definitely not worth what we paid. Also, we were told that there was actually no difference between the latte/cappuccino option (although there appeared to be on the menu). We also agreed that the wait staff was not very friendly, which wouldn't have been a problem except for the mandatory 20 percent gratuity. We both ordered different kinds of pancakes (which were tasty), but we also decided to split a side of sausage, which the waitress told us was sizeable. For $6.25, we were served an unimpressive, hot-dog sized sausage split in half. When we went to pay our bill, the POS system prompted us to tack on an additional 20 percent tip on top of the already applied gratuity, which I found outrageous. If you weren't paying attention (or didn't know that you could side-step the prompt), you could easily wind up paying over 40 percent gratuity on your original bill. I typically don't mind paying a bit more for a brunch like this, but for the value of what I was offered, I was unimpressed and a little insulted. The atmosphere was fine, but I definitely would not choose to come here again. Also -- for the service that I received, I found the signs in the bathrooms about the employees being so excellent that they need not be reminded to wash their hands quite boastful.

Pretty little spot on the strip. Vegan options! Tried the delicious tofu scramble with soy chorizo & pico alongside herbed potatoes, which they offered to grill with oil instead of butter. Loved that! Our waitress was friendly and kept the coffee coming. We will be back, specifically, to try the vegan burger next. Vegetarian options: Few options, but delicious. Parking: Back-in parking only. Free parking garage nearby. Paid parking on street with electronic (app available) and coin meter.

went here with a friend for brunch on a wednesday ! it was virtually empty in there so service was speedy. our waitress was very nice & our food was yummy. my friend got tomato bisque with grilled cheese & i got the mushroom egg white omelet dish. i also got a bloody mary, which i didn’t taste and alcohol nor did it give me any sort of buzz whatsoever… but it was 11am on a weekday so i really had no business being tipsy anyways lol
