Cadieux Cafe

Visit the Burton Historical Collection at the Detroit Public Library. It was woefully low-tech last time I was there but the reference librarians are very helpful!

May have some images.

Good luck! I lived a couple blocks from the Cadieux Cafe for years. Many good times there, though the food was very sub-par in recent years. I hope the new owners do some fancy gastropub stuff and otherwise just keep the gem polished.

These are great links. I seem to remember they had a blade sign that had neon on it back in the day, probably 1940's maybe a little later. The awnings were older metal slat with alternating red and white stripes. There is a BAR sign above the entrance that is now painted over glass block but I'm betting that was a porcelain panel with neon overlay like at the Willis show bar. God, my Dad was on the church feather bowling league there for almost 20 years. I really appreciate the help.
