The cafe seems far more invested in cultivating an aesthetic than delivering quality food or…read morehospitality. Service feels slow and strangely disengaged, as though customers are interrupting the ambiance simply by ordering. What should feel warm and welcoming instead comes across as performative and inattentive. The food is especially disappointing considering the prices. The sandwiches are remarkably small and underfilled, leaving you wondering whether you accidentally ordered a half portion. The salads are even worse, which is essentially a pile of arugula. For a downtown business surrounded by residents and neighboring businesses, the lack of inclusion for the community and the repeated disregard for basic city noise expectations is difficult to ignore. Ultimately, Flint has several coffee shops that provide better food, better service, and a far more genuine sense of love for the community here.

This place is by far the cleanest bakery I've ever been in. It was super bright everything was gleaming, lots of seating inside and out with plenty of parking and really cute decor. The guy who helped at the counter was super nice. They have the menu up on an electronic screen with straightforward pricing and also printed ones where you can scan the QR code and order ahead. It cost $18 for one dozen. That is so cheap compared to the other neighborhood donut places. The donuts were light and airy with plenty of filling but not overly sweet. I tried the peanut butter and jelly one which was delicious, a long John which is my usual standby, a few glazed and cinnamon, and a few other random ones and they were all delicious. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. It's right next door to the local grocer. Definitely stop in. I will be back.

They have a very nice selection of donuts. I particularly like the crawlers, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin donuts and espresso donuts. Prices are very good, downright low, in fact, and proceeds do benefit Carriage Town Ministries. They even have pretty good coffee, too. The pumpkin donut is my fave!! The location is great, and they have several tables for dine in and wifi for customers.

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.

There is plenty of seating, and they open up outdoor seating when warmer weather comes. Despite how busy it gets, you will find seating opens up pretty fast. The staff are kind, quick, and knowledgeable, and prices are reasonable for the caliber of quality you get with every menu option. They also have a seasonal menu that is worth keeping an eye on as it cycles throughout the year. Every dish I've ever had from here has been a feast for all my senses. I recently got the Michigan Smoke and substituted their roasted garlic cream sauce for the BBQ sauce- it was seriously delightful!!!! I usually get their egg crepe and they also have seasonal drinks.

I bought 2 beautiful Angus porterhouses to take home and grill myself. I was honestly caught completely off guard, I thought it was a small coffee style cafe. It looks more like a dr office or something. It's in a plaza. This food in a more restaurant style location I believe would be a "food destination". I had biscuits and gravy and a burger. Both were really good, if it was my place I'd claim "best biscuits and gravy in Michigan"! It's definitely a hole in the wall. They spare no expense on ingredients which is huge in my opinion. Go give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Now that I have done that, I can confidently say that their Coffee K Cups are terrific. I found out about them in late 2020 when I impulsively bought a box of their Michigan Cherry Coffee that popped up on my Facebook feed. Holy Moley was that delicious! When our home K Cup stash was getting low, we hit their website big time and bought a variety of products - Guatemalan Medium, Amaretto, Hawaiian Coconut, Cinnamon Holiday Blend, Butter Rum, and a Variety Pack and Dessert Pack with such delicacies as Caramel Pecan Pie, French Vanilla, Sea Salt Caramel, Banana Nut Cream, Blueberry Cobbler, Crème Brulee, and Chocolate Raspberry. None of these disappointed me. Prices start at about $0.80 a pod, but if you buy in bulk or subscribe, you can knock that down significantly. And if you sign up for e-mail specials, you'll regularly receive 10% or 15% special discount codes. Working from home since March, my coffee consumption has sure gone up, and I really like having these excellent coffees to drink. And by the way, we are ecologically responsible as we remove the K Cup foil tops, discard the coffee, rinse out the pods, and throw them in with our recycling.
