| - I'm only giving 3 stars because of a recent bad visit- don't counting that one, would get 4 stars. Last time, I ordered a chicken sandwich with chevre. The chicken was undercooked- not a good thing with chicken (salmonella). Otherwise, the food is usually well prepared and tasty. I don't really care for the coffee- it tends to taste burned (are the beans roasted too long or do they just add extra grounds to the pot?). I order tea. The atmosphere deserves 4 stars- warm, slightly rough around the edges. I think they were hoping to become a hipster hangout, judging by the location, the barista with the handlebar mustache, and the ambience. Instead, most of their customers are gay professionals, single white women who like being around gays, and neighborhood yuppies who don't feel like driving to Starbucks. This joint is more Gordon Square than Detroit Shoreway. That is, it is like Cleveland Heights without the black people. Being inside Gypsy, you would have no idea that 2 blocks off Detroit you would hear Spanish all around you.
