    Excellent. Caught it driving by and turned around. Quaint. Great menu for lunch. Fun atmosphere.

    We were taking a tour of the western Michigan Light houses and stumbled upon this new diner by accident. We were actually looking for the one I found on Yelp that had been at this location. However they did not disappoint. They had a very large assortment of foods from soups, hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, ramen, salads and quesadillas. The place was pretty busy too so it looks like a popular place. The whole place was clean, well lit and comfortable. There isn't really a wait staff here, you order at the counter, then find a seat and they bring you the food. They do clear the tables for you. The portions were very large. I had the warm Ham and Cheese and it was so good. My mom had the same thing, my aunt had the French Dip and hubby had Queso Quesadilla. All very good. The bread on my sandwich was so good. The toppings were a perfect blend of spice/ sweet / salty and veggies. We all agreed we would have preferred smaller portions, like a half sandwich. Prices were a little more than we expected but like everything right now probably were very reasonable. However had I known my 16.9 ounce bottled water was going to be $3 I probably would have passed on that. There is no need to have special Icelandic water when plain bottled water for 1/2 the price would have sufficed. I don't drink tap water when we travel. All in all, we would return to this cafe if we find ourselves in the area again.

    I've never had a bowel of soup this large. So good! Creamy goodness. The sandwich was fantastic. Definitely recommend and will be coming back when in town again. Friendly staff to top it off

    Rueben Sandwich on Rye and Tomato Basil Soup! Tasted like an authentic NY deli sandwich. Cute location.

    This little gem in downtown Alpena did not disappoint. The menu is modest but inspired. Friendly staff, clean environment.

    The spicy cordon blue sandwich was terrific. The pasta salad was just okay. I'll go back for the sandwich whenever I'm in Alpena.

    The Turkey Bacon Avocado and French Dip sandwich's are excellent! Comes with a pickle and chips. In my humble opinion, reasonably priced.

    We've been wanting to try this place for some time but they are often full. We got early…read morereservations (parties of 6 or more only) and arrived on time to our table all ready. There are two sides - the bar side and a side with lots of seating. The bar side has seating as well but minimal. We sat on the side with all the seating at a long high top. The chairs had backs so it was very comfortable. They have lots of choices on the menu - I chose the Lemon Herb Ravioli, which sounded light and amazing. Unfortunately, it is swimming in a lemon-y olive oil which ruins the dish completely. If they just drizzled the lemon oil over the pasta, it would be a chef's kiss. I would recommend asking for that on the side - then you can control how much you want on the dish. I also got their "tots" on the side. These aren't your typical tator tots...they are homemade shredded potatoes scooped and fried. My cousin got the same items and when the tots came, it appeared they overly fried one of the orders so just split them up between our two orders. I ate the good ones and my husband sent back the bad ones to have them replaced. They did so without any question, which was nice. My husband had the Gouda Burger with Truffle Fries. He said it was the best burger he'd ever had. The truffle fries were excellent - served with garlic aioli. Highly recommend! So, while my dish was disappointing due to the amount of oil it was swimming in, the pasta and vegees on top tasted good, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and everyone else liked their meals (burgers and fish & chips) so I'm not going to give them a low rating. I'd like to come back and try something different on the menu.

    The Ambiance was really nice it's a small place. It's a really busy place as sometimes it's hard…read moretogether into. Our waitress was so nice and made sure our drinks were always filled, checking back a lot which is a plus in our book. The food was good although not a very big menu.
