CLOSED: Angel's Cafe

This is a safe place for people with many food allergies and dietary restrictions. The owner takes great care in making sure the cafe is peanut free, in addition to being able to provide milk-free, gluten free, soy free, corn free, etc dishes and desserts.

The dining area in front (you have to enter off of 9 Mile) only has around 10 tables. A small banquet room in back is available for private parties. When I have dined-in, the owner was basically the only person working, so this is not a place to eat if you are in a hurry. Allow 2 hours for dinner to be safe.

Meals tend to be heavy on protein, light on vegetables. The tuscan tomato soup (which is vegan without the cheese garnish) seemed like really thick pizza sauce, so I'm not sold on it. The soup d'jour is often vegan, and an actual "soup," not sauce. The food served is very savory, to the point where one person I've dined with couldn't handle all the flavor overload. The owner, who is very hospitable and tries to get to know all of the customers, is very attentive and if he can tell you didn't like something, he will offer to change replace it with something else, change the seasoning, etc.

What this cafe offers that no other (vegan-friendly & allergen-friendly) place I know of does, is make their own candies in addition to baked goods. The owner buys raw chocolate and makes his own chocolate sauces (only the white chocolate items are not offered vegan.)

The owner can custom bake desserts, will modify menu items by request, and the small, smoke-free dining area is filled with beautiful artwork and world music plays in the background.

Its a shame more people don't know about this place! This cafe has been around for over 10 years and has some very loyal customers due to the owner's dedication to providing a safe and enjoyable dining experience for those with food allergies and selection of vegan and vegetarian options.

Angel's Cafe is a great place where just about anyone can find something to eat.
