Ivanhoe Cafe is a delightful slice of history nestled in Detroit! 🥰 The cozy, casual atmosphere reminded me of old-world Europe, and the warmth from the friendly owners instantly made me feel at home.

I absolutely loved the Polish platter, loaded with perfectly cooked pierogi and kielbasa - just like I remember from childhood! The potato pancakes were golden brown and comforting, perfect for a quick bite!

Don’t miss out on their amazing coffee and selection of Polish beers. Plus, the quick service is a bonus for lunch or dinner. I’ll definitely be returning! 🍽️
