I really want to love this place because it IS a cute little coffee shop with a lot of potential…read more The vibe is cozy at first glance, but once you settle in, you start noticing some things that could definitely use improvement... shaky tables, sparse seating, and a general "almost there" feeling with the interior. The bigger issue for me is the pricing and consistency. Charging an extra $1 for alternative milk in 2026 feels a little like cash grab? Especially when a lot of people order it out of necessity, not preference. On top of that, the specialty lattes have gone up another dollar in the past year, which makes the quality even more important. I've had good drinks here before, so I know they CAN do it well but this last visit was rough. My $6.50 "specialty" latte tasted like burnt coffee water with none of the flavor I ordered. For that 20% increase in price, I expect to actually taste the specialty part. That said, the employees were genuinely kind and super helpful. They happily added more almond milk to help salvage my very sad latte, and I appreciated their attitude a lot. Overall it's a cute spot with sweet staff, but the pricing and drink consistency need some serious attention. I'd love to see them tighten things up because it really could be great.

Other reviews mentioned it's usually very busy, and they were right -- expect a bit of a wait if you go during peak times. We ordered the Carol Ann's Classic Burger, which was listed as a smash burger, but it definitely wasn't. The food overall was nothing special, but the service really stood out. Our server, Logan, was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed, even though he had a lot of tables to take care of. They were also kind enough to split our burger and onion rings since we were sharing, which was a thoughtful touch. A few hours after we left, I realized I had left my expensive designer glasses on our table. When I called the next day, they confirmed they had them and held onto them for me until the next weekend when I could pick them up. I really appreciated their honesty and kindness -- it says a lot about the people who work there. The food wasn't anything to rave about, but there aren't many other options in Frankenmuth, and it still hit the spot. The service and honesty of the staff truly left a great impression, and I'm sure I'll be back the next time I'm in Frankenmuth.

We ordered a side of Caesar salad that was lacking flavor, my husband ordered fried chicken and said was better than the one from the place in front (IYKYK) I ordered chicken tenders because nothing else looked good and a side of rice ( ok) the biscuit they give you on the side was just really bad. So anyways I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place unless you are in a hurry and want something quick.

It was confirmed to me that Z Cafe serves the same food as Zehnder's restaurant upstairs. Z Cafe is…read moremuch more appropriate for a standard fried chicken meal. It is more casual as the food is served cafeteria style as opposed to the restaurant. It wasn't the best fried chicken I've ever had, but it was decent - well seasoned and not dry. I was able to tell the server what pieces I preferred. Servers and cashiers were friendly. The meal was under $20, which isn't bad these days, but I still consider it to be a little overpriced. The meal was large though and I needed a takeaway container for my leftovers. I also had the clam chowder soup, and I think I liked that more than the chicken meal. It was thick and creamy.

And although they have remodeled and have lost some of the "old school charm" we really like what they have done here! We were in town for Winterfest and were craving an "authentic" brat at a fair price and this place never disappoints. In the old days you could sit outside under a warming tent, no more... But what you can do now is sit inside at a table or the countertop, we are counter people! The staff are friendly and if you are looking for specialty sausage and all things related, this is the place for you. They also have adult beverages available to enjoy or take with. The brat was really good, with kraut and their own sauce which is a nice touch!

To be fair, we thought we were sitting down at the restaurant at the Bavarian Inn when we…read moreapproached the host here, but apparently the patio area is "Michigan on Main" a separate restaurant with a separate menu. I was initially quite disappointed about this, as we had already chosen what we wanted to eat from the Bavarian Inn menu and were ready for some schnitzel and authentic fare. However, we were already seated with our dog when we realized all this. I did ask for a Bavarian Inn menu and was told that was not possible and also told that the Bavarian Inn is not dog friendly but we were already there and we were hungry so we decided to stay and to give them a try. The patio seating is nice, although it was a little cramped and I was closer to other people and their conversations than I would have liked but the weather was good and so was the people watching. I started off with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch from their drink menu but it was underwhelming. The menu is quite small with limited options so I ended up ordering a Pretzel charcuterie board and my husband had their sausage duo. The presentation was simple and could even be described as economical on their part. The food itself was fine for the most part. There were a few things didn't care for the flavor of like the little sausages, but fortunately for me my little pup was happy to take them off my hands. I really liked the jam served on the side of my meal and the mustard was too die for! (I actually ended up buying some to take home it was so good) My husband said his meal was fine. There were some bees or wasps that were bothering people and they did become quite annoying, especially towards the end of our meal. I kept shooing them gently, but they were persistent and when they started to bother the lady next to us, she became incredibly frightened. If you have a fear of bees or wasps, I definitely would not recommend dining here. All that being said, it was about $60 after tip for our meal and while it was perfectly adequate given the options available to us at the moment, I don't think it's anywhere that I would go out of my way to revisit.

Prost was such a fun Valentine's Day spot for us! It was our first time in, and overall we had a…read morereally great experience. Our server, Tanner, was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The table was set nicely when we arrived -- wine glass and water glass, silverware wrapped with cloth napkins on a side plate, and a candle lit off to the side. It felt thoughtful and perfect for a date night. We split the French Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. Maybe a little pricey at $12, but it came with lots of cheese and bread (plus bread on the side), so it felt worth it as a starter. My boyfriend ordered a Long Island Iced Tea -- strong, but no complaints there -- and I got cranberry juice. Both drinks came out in the same glassware as the water, styled like cocktails, which I actually appreciated. No weird "different treatment" if you're not drinking alcohol, which is always a plus to me. We also did the Build-Your-Own Board, which was really fun, and Tanner was super helpful in guiding us through the choices. We picked Summer Sausage, Garlic & Herb Soft Cheese, Smoked Gouda, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, and Balsamic Onion Jam. The Fire Roasted Tomatoes were SO GOOD, and I usually don't even like tomatoes. They were soaking in olive oil (I think?), which had great flavor and paired perfectly with the bread and Garlic & Herb Cheese. I also really enjoyed the Balsamic Onion Jam, savory, slightly sweet, and a little goes a long way. Overall, everything tasted great. I was a little disappointed in the portion of Smoked Gouda compared to the soft cheese, especially considering some soft cheeses can retail around $30 per pound. If you're looking for the best value, you might consider a different cheese option. That said, extra bread was only $1, which felt like a great deal for the amount we received. We were honestly getting pretty full and almost couldn't finish it all. We were seated in the cellar area, which was okay, just a little small, and the music was pretty loud. Not ideal for a Valentine's date when you're trying to have a conversation. Random but important: the bathrooms were spectacular. Individual, spacious, very clean, nice sink setup, pump soap, automatic paper towel dispenser, and even a candle lit. Honestly, 10/10 bathroom experience. Overall, it's a really solid date night spot with great service and good food. Just a couple small tweaks (music volume and cheese portions!) would make it even better. We'd definitely come back.
