Our founder, Joel Kahn, MD, knows some­thing about health. As an acclaimed car­di­ol­o­gist and author, he cham­pi­ons food as med­i­cine and has devot­ed his career to edu­cat­ing oth­ers about the heal­ing pow­er of plants. With the help of his wife, Karen, and son, Daniel, Dr. Kahn decid­ed to turn his words into action and pio­neer a ful­ly veg­an, plant-based bar and eatery. ith the help of a tal­ent­ed team, the Kahns opened Green­Space Café, metro Detroit’s first plant-based restau­rant and bar inspired by health, as well as glob­al culi­nary tra­di­tions and Detroit’s excit­ing arti­san food cul­ture. Ded­i­cat­ed to trans­form­ing fresh, nutri­tious ingre­di­ents into delec­table plant-based dish­es, Green­Space Café cel­e­brates the joy of beau­ti­ful, healthy food.

Rated 5.0 We just had a terrific lunch at Green Space. I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich and the lady had a salad bowl. We both had a carrot apple paired with our email. Service was quick and the staff were more than friendly. It truly is worth all of the hype. I look forward to trying their sister spot on Woodward.

Rated 5.0 Favorite vegan spot no matter what time of day! I wish they were open later on Sundays but that's my only complaint!

Rated 5.0 I have been wanting to try GreenSpace ever since I went vegan. It's a lot bigger than I expected, and I love the look of it. Parking was insane due to a festival going on, but I think normally it would be really convenient just behind the restaurant. I had the Forest Mushroom Gnocchi which was good. It was mostly kale, I would have liked more mushrooms, but the gnocchi was tasty and the sauce was great. I chose to add seitan sausage, but it was oddly cold, or at least it cooled off much quicker than the rest of the dish, so I kind of picked around it mostly. It almost seemed to be thrown in after as if it was forgotten. My friend ordered the Jackfruit Enchiladas and had no complaints. Our service was great and there are a few other things I'd like to try on the menu, so I'll be back!

Rated 5.0 The bartender Brian and Manager Ariess ( I'm pretty sure I spelled her name wrong, my apologies ) are awesome! They made wonderful suggestions on food choices since this was our first time there. This is such a chill and cozy spot. My wife has developed some dairy intolerance and going out to eat just hasn't been a fun experience for her anymore. Not anymore!!! We left fully satisfied with our meals. Both dishes were delicious. I order a bowl and added a side of curry. She had the calzone. We also ordered a side of potato wedges. They were so delicious we finished them before I could take a picture. The green sauce that came with them was so good we ordered some to take home! The calzone is a MUST TRY! They have a full bar. The only complaint I have it they don't have Jack Daniels which is pretty much what we drink mainly. We settled on Buffalo Trace but would have preferred having our drink available. Even with that being said we still can't wait to go back!!!

Rated 5.0 This is an amazing restaurant! Many options for vegans and those with food allergies. I have been dairy free for years and their cashew cheese board is the first dairy free cheese I found that tastes like real cheese. There are not many restaurants I can eat at due to my many food restrictions, but our waitress was very accommodating and thorough. I would highly recommend this for anyone - vegan or not!

Rated 5.0 I've only been here once, but my family has been a few times without me. Fortunately, they agree with my deep appreciation for the amazingly good food here. Fingerling Potatoe Hash / Breakfast Burrito / Macro Bowl and the Cheese Board - the three of us ordered and shared around a bit of each. My favorite was the Hash, but only by the barest of margins. These are flavorful dishes with real food flavors, not random added spices. They are big entrees that left me happy and full. The staff was wicked overworked as we came during a street fair, but still friendly and prompt. I'll visit again any time I'm in the area.

Rated 5.0 A new vegan as of January 2018, this is THE best vegan food I have EVER had. I took my mother and sister (who are not vegan or vegetarian) here for the first time, and they both enjoyed the food. Our service was wonderful, and our server was greatly accommodating. My sister just got her braces on, and our server graciously went through the menu with her to help her find something that would not hurt her teeth. A calm yet vibrant atmosphere. Not only was the service great, but Dr. Kahn (owner) came in on a Saturday night, and was seen checking in with guests and helping clean up tables--shows great character. Greenspace is a restaurant I will continue to support.

Rated 5.0 Fabulous atmosphere and service. Bloody Mary's were outstanding in spite of the PLASTIC STRAW. We ordered the brunch avocado benedict and the country B&G with mushrooms. Honestly, when food is this flavorful WHY would you not try veganism!?! Sitting by the window was enjoyable while watching busy shoppers. The only thing missing at this time of year was the snow. Highly recommend.

Rated 5.0 Wow! This is hands down the best plant-based restaurant I have eaten at. The overall vibe of this place is a relaxed, low-key environment with plenty of "greenspace" that gives you a care-free skiing experience. I cannot say enough great things about the food - it's absolutely delicious - there isn't a bad thing on the menu! My partner and I were fortunate to try a big portion of the menu since our family met us for a little belated holiday celebration; needless to say, the amateur foodie opinion was unanimous, this is the best vegan place everybody experienced. Lastly, a note about the service: from the minute we walked in, we felt like friends of everyone there who was so helpful and willing to answer any of our questions. The owner stopped by multiple tables throughout our meal to check on his customers which just goes to show how much class this restaurant illustrates -- environmentally-friendly ingredients, cleanliness, and great people. Thank you, GreenSpace!

Rated 5.0 We love GreenSpace Cafe! Last Saturday I was treated by my family to dinner at Greenspace. Most would start with the ambiance and food in their review (which were all 5 stars by the way)...I have to start by talking about the people who own and work at Greenspace. We came in the back door and were immediately greeted by the owner, Dr. Khan. He was really friendly and helpful and kind to my son and everyone in my party throughout the night. The hostess was welcoming, and our server Holly was AMAZING. She treated us like we were the only table there, and they were packed. At the end of the dinner, the owners Dr. Khan and Karen, brought me a piece of the delicious chocolate cheesecake, with a candle in it. Everyone said happy birthday and treated us so well. The vibe of the restaurant and staff is calming, friendly, and positive. The ambiance and decor were so earthy and comforting. All of the food was delicious, healthy and best of all....vegan! The loaded nachos, split pea soup, albuquerque tacos, buffalo/BBQ cauliflower wings, mushroom stroganoff, carrot cake, chocolate cheesecake, and the craft drinks (I had La Fuega with jalapeno infused gin) were all soooooo delicious. Eating here was one of the best dining experiences that I have ever had. Thank you to the owners, to Holly, and to everyone on Greenspace staff, for helping make my birthday a very special one, that I will never forget. I will definitely be returning to Greenspace Cafe and I will be recommending it to everyone I know.

Rated 5.0 Such good food and atmosphere! I really enjoyed everything about it. I went on a Saturday night and it there was a line for the wait but luckily we were able to be seated at the bar right away. It was surprisingly much larger than it looked from the outside. The cauliflower tacos were delicious and topped off with vegan sour cream and some hot sauce! Even my friend who was pretty skeptical about eating at an all vegan restaurant, really enjoyed his falafel bowl. I especially enjoyed how I felt content and not grossly full (like how food should make you feel) from eating a healthy meal filled with veggies. I noticed the gluten free/vegan cookies in the front and bought a pack to take home. I'm definitely coming back to try more stuff on the menu

Rated 5.0 We went for brunch on and it was soo tasty. We're vegan, and took our aunt and uncle there (non vegans) and they loved it. Between the four of us we had 5 main entrees and they were all the bomb!!! This place is owned by a cardiovascular plant based doctor who was featured in the movie What the Health. The food is beyond decadent. Lots of GF and vegan options including delicious pancakes and French toast (more like cake like bread with fresh blue berries). The hollanaYou have to to try the cashew cream even as a side! As cold as it is in MI, I can't wait to come back to eat at this place. Pros: nice variation of menu items, tasty, clean, great waiter service, Kosher, 100 vegan Cons: limited parking, pricey, may need reservation, small portions, no senior or veterans discounts.

Rated 5.0 GreenSpace Cafe is my favorite vegan restaurant for dinner. I took my non-vegan friend and he wants to eat here every time we go out to eat. The nachos are to die for. They are for sure my favorite thing on the menu. The best way to approach this restaurant is share the entrees with whoever you are with. The interior is super cute and welcoming. Parking is a little rough but that's expected in the downtown area. I highly recommend coming and trying out this restaurant.

Rated 5.0 Thank you for an amazing brunch for my daughter's Graduation celebration! Holly gave us AMAZING service. The farmer's cheese board was a fantastic suggestion: dill, curry, & Marsala cashew cheese. We all couldn't decide which was our favorite. They were all sooooo good! The breakfast burrito was so hearty & my boys loved the Beyond Burger. I had the Purple Masa pancakes that had a nice touch of spice & of course REAL maple syrup on the side I've never had Vegan hollandaise but the "Eggs" Benedict was so creamy with a hefty dose of avocado. What a great destination restaurant for our mixed family of Plant based eaters & carnivores! The staff was always there when we needed ANYTHING. Bravo...we will be back

Rated 5.0 I'm not a vegetarian but decided to try this place. I got the macro bowl with the Korean chili. I didn't know which sauce to get by the person taking my order recommended it. It was delicious! It was spicy with a hint of sweetness and I enjoyed it. I would definitely head back to check out their other dishes. Thank you!
