    Italian sandwich wrap on spinach wrap
    Makenna H.

    Saint Clair Shores hidden gem! This is the best place to go for breakfast and lunch. Not only do they have dozens of options for food but they have almost every kind of syrup flavor that you can add to your coffee! The owners are so personable and will make you feel the most welcomed. A great place for sit down or carry out.

    I love the place! I haven't personally tried the food but I have had the cookies and the Italian soda and it's very good! The workers were very helpful and the shop is so cozy! Definitely worth it!

    This is a cute little spot that we stopped in to have a quick breakfast and some coffee. I was working in grosse pointe and he decided to meet me for breakfast. That always makes my day start off on a good note. This is a fairly small cafe but the food was amazing. The coffee was great, and the company even better.

    The dining room, enter from back or front.

    Far Bella - "FAR" are the 1st initials of 3 of the owners' relatives. The place is right across from Shores Inn. They celebrate the holidays with great decorations cleverly reusing them for Halloween Thanksgiving and Christmas. Come in for a view stay for a meal and or coffee!

    I love this place! The cutest cafe in downtown SCS with a very large menu. They have something for everyone. The owners are incredible kind and the service is always good. I highly recommend the Lobster Bisque soup and the rest of the menu too!

    Welcome to Cafe Far Bella!

    OOOHHHHH yes!!! I'd give this shop another five stars if I could! Caffe Far Bella came on trusted recommendation and with a little help from Yelp. I wanted to start the early afternoon with a new coffee shop experience. This shop definitely lives up to its excellent name! I met the owner, Jack, shortly after arrival and he seems like one who never has a bad day and you immediately feel the warm welcome mat from him. This shop has been at this location for around five years and seems like a pillar in this shopping area. In looking at the chalked-up classic blackboard menu, the eyes popped open with joy when Mexican mocha was on this list! When I asked Jack if this was from a powder, he duly and proudly informed me that its a Michigan Mex mocha and then bean-counted the ingredients to me one by one - and I said, Cool!! OK folks! This is serious! Real coffee lovers like to taste the coffee in their speciality drinks, rather than have it taste like it's five full scoops of sugar with two ounces of espresso. Pardon the hyperbole! I didn't have this problem at CFB! I was elated at the taste of the Mex mocha mix and could fully taste the coffee - in fact it was dominant taste in a good way! The way it should be. Jack got the Elite treatment in my compliments during my visit!! But this wasn't the last one! Hungry guy then wanted a sandwich, which also came with a choice of side. I am not a tomato soup fan, never have been. I have no explanation as to why I chose the tomato basil bisque, but it was only available on Mondays and felt like a perfect compliment to the Italian pesto panini I chose as the main course. Well, I lost my case of the Mondays instantly after the first scoop! The texture, spicing, etc. were spot on! Look forward to a do-again someday! The panini mainly consisted of ham, salami, provolone cheese, and a terrific pesto blend. It was delicious! And it was cut in three parts and is a good size, so much so that you will be filled by the time you finish! Many thanks to Jack for caring about the customer! Keeping a clean shop all areas including the restroom (among the cleanest I've seen)! In the end, and this is a long Rev-iew!, What I enjoyed most today was watching an owner who loved his work and it's there for all of us here to see! Having a rough day? Head to Far Bella's and tell Jack to "Go ahead - make my day!" With the coffee that is! Easily a stellar go-to shop with tremendous atmosphere, service, food, and many coffee selections to choose from! Bookmark now! Make the visit too! Recommend: VERY HIGH

    Super easy to order and pickup from here during COVID!

    Easy breezy curbside service and friendly staff! We called in our order and it was ready very quickly. The staff was extremely polite and took all safety precautions during this tough time. The coffee, scones, and muffins we got were delicious. They also have breakfast sandwiches that we'll be back to try. Highly recommend!

    Lox bagel, offered on ciabatta too!!  Buffalo chicken salad!

    There is no where in St Clair shores area to find a deli. Thank goodness was for Uncle Harry's! It…read moreis the real deal. Kim was our server and she was over the top great! They have Dr Browns soft drinks and all the flavors! The matzoball soup is amazing def 9 out of 10. The sandwiches are top notch. The meat is super fresh and the rye bread is fresh and perfect. And you can get them to grill whatever you order right in front of you. To top it all of the atmosphere is an experience. Like walking into a NY deli in the 70s. I highly recommend to anyone in the area. And worth the trip if you are not from the area.

    We picked up carryout from Uncle Harry's Deli tonight and left feeling pretty underwhelmed,…read moreespecially for the price. The inside has an old-school diner vibe, which could be charming, but the overall experience didn't quite match. Staff interaction was neutral--not unfriendly, but not particularly welcoming either. My husband ordered the Lynne sandwich and I had the Adele, along with a bowl of matzo ball soup. The soup was definitely the highlight--flavorful and comforting--but at nearly $9 for a bowl, it felt overpriced for what you get. Unfortunately, the sandwiches didn't live up to expectations. The meat was piled in the center of the bread, leaving the ends with little to nothing in each bite, which made them feel poorly constructed and just overall mediocre. We were also surprised by the number of upcharges--extra for toasting the bread, extra for grilling, and even a 3% fee for using a credit card. It all adds up quickly. For two sandwiches and a shared soup, our total came to just over $40, which felt steep given the quality. It's disappointing because we wanted to like this place, but the high prices just didn't align with the food or experience. Unfortunately, we'll likely be crossing Uncle Harry's off our list.

    I love New York Deli! I always recieve excellent service and delicious food. The wood paneled walls…read moreand the murals keep a great atmosphere! I love the pickles you get when you sit down. I'm not sure if these are Celiac friendly BUT they have amazing Gluten Free Chicken Tenders. They were crispy and moist, definitely seem house made. I am also in love with their potato salad. Also, GREAT RANCH. (It's the runny kind and definitely made in house) Additionally, someone in my party got the Matzo Ball Soup and said it was very delicious. Same with the Maurice Salad. Their Rice Pudding was incredible! They really do a wonderful job and I am grateful we have one on the east side

    We visited New York Deli for an impromptu family dinner. We hadn't been in years but remembered…read moreenjoying it in the past. It has a cute, classic diner feel--nothing recently updated, but it was clean and comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. We brought our three young kids and ordered them each a kids meal: chicken tenders with fries, spaghetti, and a cheeseburger with fries. The portions were generous and we even had leftovers, but at $10 per kids meal, the pricing felt pretty steep. We started with the bread basket and pickles, which were both good. My husband ordered the Monterey Jack chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. He first tried the chicken noodle soup but thought it had a sour aftertaste, so he switched to the beef barley, which unfortunately wasn't much better. His chicken entrée had good flavor, but it was just one thin, butterflied chicken breast. I ordered the New Yorker with fries, which I enjoyed--it was solid and satisfying. When the bill came to around $80, it just didn't feel justified for a deli/diner-style meal. Overall, the food was okay, but the pricing felt high for what you get--especially for a family outing. I might stop in again solo for a sandwich, but we likely won't be bringing the whole family back, mainly due to the cost of the kids meals.
