Logistics. In shopping plaza, just east of Marsh Road along northside of Central Park Dr,…read moreconnecting to Time Square Drive, in Okemos. Vibe and First Impressions. Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

We tried a variety of dishes from here when visiting family. We got all of them for takeout for…read morelunch. The menemen was my favorite. Like scrambled eggs with tomatoes and onions. It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home. Maybe a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The mezze platter was also quite nice, especially the carrot appetizer. The bulgur patties were also flavorful. The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.

The pesto tomato sandwich is one of the best sandwich I've had, easily the best sandwich in East Lansing. I never reviews, but I had to find a latte that compares in Chicago, which is saying a lot. Very nice people too.

If I could give Iorio Gelato more than five stars, I genuinely would…read more We went in specifically on a mission to find gelato and macarons, and this place absolutely DELIVERED. The gelato selection was incredible. Basically every flavor you could possibly imagine. Somehow choosing just one felt like an impossible task. I finally went with the cannoli gelato, and OH. MY. GOD. It was phenomenal. Creamy, rich, perfectly flavored, and easily some of the best gelato I've ever had. And then there were the macarons. We left with an entire dozen, because obviously choosing just a couple wasn't happening. They were beautiful, delicious, and even the packaging was gorgeous. You could tell that thought and care went into the entire experience, right down to how everything was presented. This was one of those completely unexpected finds that ends up becoming a highlight of your day. Amazing selection, beautiful presentation, incredible treats..........genuinely no notes. 10/5. Five stars aren't enough. We will absolutely be back.

Totally did not expect to like anything from Blend but ended up LOVING it. Started coming here…read moreabout a year ago not even know how to pronounce "açaí" and haven't been able to stay away since. I have yet to find anything that was even close to being mediocre in flavor. Everything is delicious. All fresh and clean foods made and served by the amazing owner, Jess. I've heard that a lot of smoothie type restaurants are MLM and/or franchise based; Blend is NOT and is a true small business. Absolutely love this place and so glad I took the chance on something new and different.

The atmosphere was perfect and the teas and method of serving the tea was really unique (and came with great explanation of the process/method called Gong Fu Cha). We even got to meet Renaldo, the tea pet (you'll have to visit to learn all about the importance of the tea pet). With our tea we also enjoyed some really unique imported snacks including some preseevd sweet potato sticks and my personal favorite, which was milk-sesame flavored Oreos.

I have been a big tea nerd for years, but I've never had a community to share my passion with, and…read morethis place has built that community. I've met so many people that got into tea because of this tea house! The selection is amazing, the vibe is the coziest of any place in the Lansing area (Lansing coffee shops could learn something from this place), and the owner is so nice! I will be becoming a regular

She took an idea of a coffee and made the most delicious and nutty pistachio latte! There are plenty places to sit and gather or work solo while smelling the amazing aromas of all the coffees. Located in a plaza, there is plenty of parking. They offer sandwiches and sweet treats as well, the baklava is homemade! To date, my fav place for coffee is my kitchen but Chateau will definitely see me often!

If the espresso and syrup is mixed before the milk is added then you don't have this issue. The whip cream was horrible, it tasted bad and wasn't fully whipped so it turned to cottage cheese texture and made the drink chunky. Overall the drinks weren't great. The "Saugatuck Dunes" was overpowered by the pecan, the rose syrup in "Lake Harbor Beach" just wasn't great. Overall the atmosphere of the shop was stale and looked like it was straight off Amazon. There is also have a sad self serve clean up station. Drinks came out fast and staff were friendly. Just not worth the price.
