The parking lot is small, but it's easy to get in and out, and they also have a drive-thru, which is a big plus. There was a great variety of donuts to choose from, and I really liked that they were lighter and fluffier than some of the other popular donut places in the area. They weren't overly heavy or greasy. The chocolate éclair had plenty of cream and lots of chocolate, the apple fritter had actual chunks of apple, and the glazed peanut donut had just the right amount of finely crushed peanuts. Customer service was great too! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. ($9 for 6)

I pictured myself sitting at a counter with a hot cup of coffee and a fresh donut. Unfortunately, the reality didn't match the photos. The shop itself is a bit dingy and dim, and the counter shown in pictures was blocked with boxes and plastic--no place to sit. I arrived before 11 AM on a Friday and the selection was already pretty picked over. The one worker got swamped when a crowd came in, and the tight space made the whole experience feel rushed. I ordered two donuts (cheap, which was nice), but they were tossed in a bag together with no divider, so the frosting stuck together which made it a pain to get them out of the bag to eat. No napkins were given. Fortunately, I remembered to ask for some. One donut was chocolate with sprinkles, the other had buttercream filling with white frosting. Both were decent, nothing amazing. I tried to sit outside, but the chairs were old and dirty. They looked liked they came from an old elementary school. To top it off, someone came up trying to sell me a "$600" motorcycle helmet for $100. I decided to make a quick exit. If I lived nearby, I might grab a dozen to-go, but it's not worth a special trip. Just average overall.

You guys, this place is legit and well for sure be going back despite the distance! My wife and I both got Banana Lattes and they were fantastic. The problem with a lot of coffee shops (local or chain) is they have these speciality drinks on their menus, but they never really taste like what they are meant to taste like. This was like your Grandma's World Famous Banana Pudding, but in coffee form. It was creamy, had tons of banana flavor, wasn't too sweet, and the espresso was perfectly pulled to balance everything out. We also got a few pastries and my only regret was not getting any pictures. That's mainly because we devoured them so quickly. One was their Pistachio Croissant which was packed full with pistachio spread. No skimping there. We also got their Blueberry Croissant which gave baklava vibes with this sticky sweet honey/syrup. A little messy, but totally worth it. The service was excellent and the owner was super friendly and helpful with making suggestions on what to order. All around it was great vibes, great drinks and food, and a great experience in general. Quick side note, to the dude crying over their WiFi password being "FreePalastine" in their review saying how they should keep their opinions to themselves, you're probably the same type of person who would be all like "Hell yeah brother!" and high-fiving the owner if it had been "MAGA2028" instead. You can't have it both ways my little snowflake!

The vibe is elevated but cozy, think elegant decor, tons of space, and plenty of comfy spots to actually sit, sip, and stay awhile. The menu leans creative with unique flavor combos you don't see everywhere, and everything we tried was solid. Service was genuinely friendly (not the forced kind), and the whole place was spotless, which always earns bonus points. They've also got pastries and cookies if you're in the mood to turn your coffee run into a full-on treat moment. Easy parking, super convenient location near Walgreens, Walmart, and a bunch of other spots, so it's perfect for a quick stop or a relaxed hang. We paid about $16 for two iced coffees, which feels pretty standard for something a little more specialty. Overall: a stylish, welcoming addition to the area that actually makes you want to linger. Definitely worth checking out.

Pretty decent to grab a coffee and snack…read more This place opened not too long ago. The building was once a doctor's office of some kind and you can kinda spy how the layout was and what has and has not changed since its transformation into a cafe. The outside still looks slightly like an old doctor's office, but the owners really went a long way in making the most of the location and renovating it into a nice little coffee shop for the local area. It's located right by the corner of a major subdivision, so the neighbors really must be pleased to have a cafe so close by to grab coffee or tea on their walks or while jogging, or simply on their way to work in the morning. The ambiance inside is cozy, but you can definitely tell it was once a doctor's office (you can see how the old office was laid out- waiting room, reception desk, offices in the back, etc), but it doesn't They sell Fireside Coffee here and and the usual smoothies, lattes, mochas, teas, pour over coffees, etc, as well as a limited line of fresh baked pastries, bagels and muffins, plus some iced beverages, like Red Bull and whatnot. I ordered an iced Salted Caramel Latte, but wound up getting a hot version of the same drink instead because the girl waiting on me misheard me. She quickly realized the mistake and offered to remake me a new iced drink, though I said it was okay and just took the already made drink because it wasn't a big deal to me. Iced, hot, whatever, I didn't really care, so it was fine. My husband ordered a traditional mocha. Both were excellent. We had no real complaints. Customer service, other than the small hiccup concerning my drink, was excellent. The barista was super nice and chill. She pointed out the retail section of the store, where they sell Chill Coffee Cafe branded gear, including t-shirts, mugs, bags of coffee, and more. The free WI-FI signal was strong and didn't interfere with the apps on my phone (some places have super sketchy WI-FI connections and it's preferable to pass on the free WI-FI). The cafe had a nice, quiet area in the back, with comfy chairs, a fireplace and a big screen TV. Further back, they had a private meeting room where they apparently host a children's event every week on the weekends. Up front, there was another seating area near the counter, with plenty of charging stations for phones, tablets and laptops. In other words, it's a perfect place to work while on the go or just chill and relax sipping a latte.

Cute coffee shop…read more We dropped in for some coffee drinks recently. They were prepared very nicely by the friendly barista. I liked the space, it was cozy and inviting and a nice place to work or study. Pricing is comparable to most other coffee shops in the area, but the menu is a little limited. I would like a bit more variety, but this is still a new business. Maybe once they have perfected things they'll offer more? Anyway, it's a decent place to get coffee and read or get some work done. I'm glad it's close and on my way to work.

If there's one thing this city has in spades, it's decent places to grab a coffee. The Palette Cafe…read moreis no exception. Tucked away inside a corner near the front of the FIA, the Palette Cafe has all the makings of an all-around quality coffee spot, featuring a small, but well-rounded brunch menu, solid coffee drinks, free WI-FI, a comfortable atmosphere, and even adult beverages to boot (they serve wine). Years ago, this was a standard-issue, Starbucks-licensed coffee kiosk with some seating, designed to keep patrons of the FIint Institute of Arts happy if they wanted a coffee or a cookie in between checking out art installations. That has changed. Eventually, it came into its own and became the Palette Cafe (the name is obviously a wink to its location within the FIA, wink wink), a full-service coffee shop with a host of food, coffee drinks and more with expanded hours, its own WI-FI connection, events held on-site, and more. Today, it holds its own in a city dripping with places to get a cup of coffee. They serve coffee from the Mighty Good Coffee Company out of Ann Arbor and true to its name, it is mighty good (long gone are the days of serving Starbucks). The Cafe Americano is my go-to drink, smooth and bold at the same time with no acidic aftertaste. Weak, it is not, but it isn't overtly strong and bitter, either. It's just right. Now, that's a good cup of coffee. As for the food, there are a couple of clear winners on their brunch/lunch menu. The caprese flatbread is my favorite on their new "sandwich board" menu. It isn't slapped together in a rush or made with less than fresh ingredients. It was better than I expected it to be. The flavor, texture and presentation were all there. I had no complaints. I'd say it was at least comparable, and in some cases, much better than the caprese flatbreads that I've had elsewhere. They have a quality Mediterranean Veggie sandwich, too, piled high with appropriate fresh vegetables on artisanal bread, an optimal choice for a vegetarian like myself. My husband had a Tuscan Chicken sandwich once and gave it the thumbs up. My husband and I split the hummus appetizer, which was a decent size for two people. I liked the texture and taste of the hummus, creamy without being oily. Oily hummus is a no no, so naturally, I was relieved that it wasn't a disappointment. It was actually quite good and made for a great shareable appetizer. I would order it again. The soup of the day is always made fresh in-house daily, so remember to check that out. The soups rotate frequently, which means what you had last weekend might not be back on the menu for awhile, but it's best to check back regularly for updates. They have a nice variety of fresh baked treats to satisfy a sweet tooth, but my favorite are the sugar cookies, so soft and moist. I'm sad to admit this, but they are far and away superior to any sugar cookies that I've personally ever baked at home. I know, I should be embarrassed about acknowledging that, but who cares? Oh, and I did mention they serve wine, right? Yes, they do! There's nothing wrong with that in my book. Their WI-FI connection is decent, but it largely depends on just exactly where you're seated. Some tables get a better connection than others, so if your connection seems weak, just switch to the gallery's WI-FI and it will probably be fine. I've had to do that a couple of times and it's usually no problem, although I can see where it could be pretty frustrating. They're often open late, usually in tandem with ongoing events at the FIA. They have a "palette punch card" which entitles the bearer to a free beverage after ten purchases and FIA members always get 10% off their bill (20% on certain FIA member appreciation days).
