"And these aren’t just any vegan cakes—we’re talking elaborate, moist, delicious ones in flavors such as Birthday Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, Cardamom, Double “Matilda” Chocolate, and more.

"Cass CorridorCollege-friendly, artist hangout with eclectic fareThis art gallery/café has long been a staple among Wayne State students on a budget and artist-hipster types in search of moderately priced coffee, cocktails, and eclectic food all in one place. Peruse the paintings from some of Detroit’s up-and coming artists before digging into the house specialty -- the lentil burger, a flavorful patty crafted from lentils, ground walnuts, and Parmesan cheese, all nestled atop a warm onion roll. Other standouts include the roasted beet and poached pear salad, the tofu club with artichoke chutney, and the lentil penne pasta (they are masters of lentils here if you haven’t noticed)."
"Serving fresh, healthy, and delicious food since 1993, the Cass Cafe is a great place for people in Detroit who are concerned with the food they eat. They not only feature great food, but also a lot of art pieces, and sometimes live performances of local talents. The place is near the Museum of Contemporary Art and Charles H.
