The owner and her staff are friendly and give everyone a smile and the family treatment. This is a dog friendly business. Pup cups, water bowls and places to put the leash on a hook is nice as well. The design of the building reminds me of the vibrant Bahamas colored style and design. Super friendly and makes you want to stay all day. Give them a try and you'll be happy you did.

Coffee is still garbage. Decided to try it again because…read morewe're walking back from the beach. The "regulars" to this place must really NOT know what coffee is. When you order a latte or something similar here, you basically get a "beverage" that's mostly your creamer of choice and an ever so slight hint of coffee. Again... Gas station coffee is better and higher quality than what you get here. All these 2+ star reviews are just liars. Unless this place gets replaced or new owners who KNOW how to make coffee take over, this place is just pointless for coffee.

We stopped in just after they on Saturday thinking they would have the usual bakery items but…read moreinstead we were treated to a French Bakery in North Eastern Michigan. After several minutes of trying to decide what we wanted we settled on six items. The plain croissant was excellent and was one of the best outside of Europe. The Bear Claw had just the right amount of sweetness and almond flavoring. The scone, pumpkin cookie, cherry cheese Danish and cinnamon roll were all equally good. Very nice job and please keep up the good work. Next time will will have to stay for coffee.

The Black Squirrel recently opened up in the sleepy, forgotten town and it's like a breath of fresh air was pumped in to liven the tired town up. The owners are local so you know they care about their customers. It's evident the moment you walk in when you are greeted by a genuine smile and accommodating attitude. I was excited to try this place and the building itself welcomes you and kicks your experience off on the right foot. You first notice the amazingly clean and airy atmosphere of the bakery, then greeted by kind faces but when you peek back into that pristine kitchen and see the owner baking amazing items to set out, you know you are at the right place. They serve coffee - both drip and espresso specialty drinks - breads, desserts, and breakfast items (both sweet and savory). I got a vanilla mocha, a bacon and ham egg bite (it's the size of a muffin though), and a cinnamon roll. We drove back to the house and warmed up the food. The egg bite was very good. Simple but the perfect savory item to start with. The cinnamon roll was excellent - soft and fresh with cream cheese frosting that really hits home! Note that they are only open from 8a-12p (Tue-Sun) and often run out of things. They also have kitchen gifts and bread accoutrements that I'd like to try in the future as they have a special daily bread menu. Since we got there fairly early, they were setting new items out as they were prepared (which made it hard to choose, but in a good way). We will definitely return to try more of their amazing food!

We recently stopped by Black Squirrel Bakery in Hillman, after a camping trip, hoping to grab a…read morequick coffee. My husband was born and raised right here in Hillman, but we have never felt more unwelcome anywhere in town than in that bakery. Sure we didn't have perfectly aesthetic clothing on but they were clean and appropriate. From the moment we walked in, both the cashier and the barista made us feel judged with their cold demeanor. When my husband tried thanking them twice as we interacted, they completely ignored him. It honestly felt like they couldn't wait to get us out of their shop. To top it off, we received a glaring amount of staring throughout our visit, making it a genuinely uncomfortable experience. As for the orders: my chai latte was extremely watery, though I will give credit where it's due--my husband's coffee was actually very good. Unfortunately, great coffee doesn't make up for cold, inhospitable customer service.

First let me say that the bakery itself is and always has been the best but the catering service…read morenot so much. Last Friday we used them to cater a memorial for my sister in sebewaing and we ordered for 50 plus people for $712 and we had ham which was all completely dried up and chicken that I don't even know how that was cooked was just as dry as well, the sides were well let me say we're nothing to write home about, the only decent thing was some of the desserts until hair was found on some of the plates and mind you we all sat while they laid it out so the hair was not from us. So the following morning I stop by Murphy's myself to speak to the owner but was not available so they took down my name and phone # and said they would get back to me ASAP and as of today still no word and that is why I'm giving out my opinion for people to consider before wasting their money on this service, if your gonna offer a public service, do it the best way possible or just don't do it at all.....

The problem is that I have become addicted. I've learned to slice half a baguette or stow away a half a loaf in the freezer - precut - and then put slices in the toaster. There are no preservatives so you have to do this or eat the bread quickly. The baguette and the sourdough are the same dough. I ma addicted to the double chocolate cookies and my wife likes the lemon cookies. There are some awesome sandwiches too. I pay a lot for bread but it's really good. I have to feed my addiction!!!

The staff are friendly and quick to acknowledge you and get your coffee or water. I ordered the classic, eggs over medium, hash browns, sausage and sour dough toast. My wife had the biscuits and gravy with a side of scrambled eggs with rye toast. The food was freshly made and delicious. Now the reason that I only rated a 3 star: half way thru the biscuits and gravy the wife found a hair in the second half. We notified the waitress and she offered to replace it but my wife was a bit unsettled and did not want anything else. The owner and waitress were very apologetic for the incident and discounted her breakfast. If it hadn't been for the hair, Teresa's would have rated a 5 star. I still recommend this restaurant as mistakes do happen and I would not hold it against them. I have eaten here previously with no incidents so try them out if you are in the area.

I was excited and took different cupcakes and a mini cheesecake home. And Boy, were they good. Flavorful, great taste, moist cake, not too sweet, fluffy consistency and a filling like from heaven!! I'm impressed with the attention to detail, beautifully decorated and no frosting or cake tasted the same, the all have different ones. So glad I found this place. We will be back for more. Thank you for having such an incredible selection and such wonderful sweet things.
