    Barnyard panini
    Beth H.

    I took my visiting mom here on a rainy weekday morning for a light breakfast. The menu is very limited. I was glad to clarify that the egg on the sandwiches was hard boiled and not hot/fresh eggs. I would have been disappointed if I had not asked but it's not very clear from the menu description. The staff wasn't the friendliest. Seemed pretty miserable to be serving anyone and I will leave it at that. We ordered drinks and breakfast with a pastry to share. The bagel with lox was excellent. My mom had a breakfast sandwich that was ok. The pastry was amazing. The coffee was the best. I am not a seasoned coffee drinker but there is a great chart on the wall that explains the different methods for the drink names. It made it easy to choose. There is a little seating area inside. Reading materials are available, if you wish, and it seemed that a few people were there to get some work done on their laptops. A loud woman on a business call with her back to the rest of the room explained why the others there were in big headphones. Seemed like a common occurrence. We enjoyed our nosh and moved on. I will be back for the bagel and lox but will plan to get it to-go next time.

    We needed a light lunch when visiting Dexter on Monday. Be forewarned, very few eateries in Dexter are open on Mondays. This is a simple, small cafe with coffee service and some sandwiches. It seems a place locals can stop in a sit a while though I hear it is busy on the weekends when cyclists come through and kayakers from the Huron too. We ordered some sandwiches and though mine was made with the wrong bread, it was ok. The other items ordered did better so that was just fine. A quiet little place with a wall display from a local artist group that was quite nice too. Parking in the neighborhood was ample for a Monday and though might not be for a weekend, it does seem that they have many customers who arrive by alternative means. Staff was very friendly.

    Adorable coffee shop! I met a friend for coffee and I was so surprised by this place! They have lots of coffee options, as well as bakery items and sandwiches/wraps/paninis. I ordered an iced latte with sugar free syrup and it was better than Starbucks. I also had the turkey pesto panini with pickles and olives on the side. The panini was a little oily, which I'm sure was because of the pesto. It was very yummy and very filling. I loved the mini pickles and olives as my side, healthy alternative to chips! The service is excellent and they offer free wifi. If you want just a simple coffee, they have an honor bar. Seems like you buy the cup then pay for refills in the money jar. How cute and convenient!

    The space I like. Exposed brick. Hardwood floor. Large storefront windows that let the light in. The tables have flowers on them. The counter is approachable and the displays are nice. The layout is spacious yet efficient. The two doors (front and side entrances) give the whole place a great flow. The coffee isn't bad either. Their espresso is fairly standard but does the trick. Where for me this place misses the mark is 1) service, 2) music, which may be related to 3) clientele. Every time I've been in here, young women (18-21'ish) are working the counter. They are aggressively assertive/condescending/oud about how their macchiato isn't like a starbuck's macchiato to unsuspecting elderly suburban gentlemen. And yet completely unhelpful when it comes to their tea. I'm all for educating the masses about espresso drinks but to treat a customer like they're an idiot is not the way to do it. And if you're going to be a hot-beverage-guerrilla, then be vigilant about your teas (flavor, steeping time, etc.), too! So the service irks me. The music is intolerable for me as it usually consists of acoustic versions of 1990s rock songs, or Fiona Apple, or other kind of female-fronted easy-listening pseudo-singer-songwriter stuff. Zero personality. Or maybe to be more fair, just not my personality. Clientele is fine but I just get tired of Dexter's small-town-pomp. I guess it's the air of eternal leisure mixed with the delusion of urbanity. The cafe as a whole is solid. It's just the attitude in the young staff and a self-quarantined clientele that makes me feel un-at-home.

    I don't come to a coffee shop for the crowd or the music. I come to drink coffee, use the wifi, and have a spot to think. This location is clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is quite good! If you're interested in the ascetics -- wood floors, brick walls, big windows, small tv hanging on the wall. The restrooms are always clean. I typically order a panini sandwich and soup combo, and I have never been disappointed. The turkey pesto panini is absolutely worth every dollar! The soup selection changes daily. I have tried about every hot drink on the menu -- I prefer Americano, and the staff is consistent in preparing the drink I order. If you happen to travel to Dexter, and you need a break, Joe and Rosie's is a great place to stop and relax.

    Cute, rustic coffee shop right in downtown Dexter on a main corner. I ordered a delicious Chai Tea Latte which was $4 for 20z (decent price to me). Service was quick and kind. I would recommend better signage as their sign is a round circle sticker on the window with an altered ying-yang symbol that is hard to read from a vehicle. Unless, of course, part of the charm is that it's a hidden local gem & you have to know it to KNOW it I clearly saw the "Tea & Coffee" letters on the high windows in front though. There are about a dozen small tables inside, most of which were occupied at 9:15a on a Thursday with laptops & cell users. Also a few optional wrought iron tables outside. The sweet treats & sandwiches all looked wonderful. I didn't try food b/c I'm on a no-sugar, low carbs diet & nothing really suited those personal restrictions. Going to hickory hotel bbq next door for lunch though! Definitely stop in.

    I'll be honest....I came for the free WiFi. I planned on buying my obligatory beverage in exchange for my seat. I was pleasantly surprised at the friendliness of the staff, the speed of the internet, abs the overall atmosphere. Why don't I come here every day? There was a great blend of people sipping coffees while working (plenty of outlets to go 'round) and groups meeting over a hot drink. I felt cozy and at home. I tried the caramel apple pie drink bad I don't know if I've ever had such a decadent cider. #10outof10 I didn't order food, but I sure thought about it. Many people were eating sandwiches and pastries and they looked good! I will have to return and report back on that. If it hadn't been so cloudy and windy I would have loved to enjoy some of their outdoor seating, but as it was, I felt completely content in the cushioned window seat indoors.

They have a…read moreton of flavors and as long as they aren't going to try to hard sell me to join their pyramid, or 'stream', I'll visit again. Definitely healthy shakes, but I see these type of places popping up all over in the last couple years. They open as a shake shop and start hyping for the business to get people in the door, but start that 'conversation' about your personal life, health goals and financial goals to try to bring you into their stream and sell the products or subscribe and buy at home. At least this shop hasn't, yet. The shakes are a great option for a meal replacement, especially for picky little kids that need their protein and won't eat meat. I chose a strawberry flavor that I thought wouldn't have a lot of sugar and be a bit lighter. It was a bit of a turn off to see her pump flavoring into the cup instead of using fresh fruit. I didn't care for the texture but it hit the spot and took away the hunger pangs. Right downtown Dexter, across from the Dairy Queen. Easy to find, easy to park.

You start by picking an aloe flavor that gets mixed with a tea, which you get to pick that flavor too! Finally, you get to pick a shake flavor. The staff can explain the details of it all, but my understanding is that the aloe helps increase your absorption of the vitamins, which there are LOTS in your shake (as well as protein)! So healthy and yummy! I can't wait to go back and try other flavors and combinations.

I've been to Rochester Brunch House multiple…read moretimes and have always loved it, so while we were in Ann Arbor for a concert, we thought brunch here before heading home would be the perfect way to end our weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't have been more disappointed. First, the restaurant was unbelievably hot and muggy, which made the entire experience uncomfortable. Our host told us our table was ready, but when we got there, she still had to wipe food and crumbs off from the previous guests, leaving us to sit at a wet table. My husband ordered the brunch burger, I ordered a skillet, and we ordered cinnamon roll pancakes to share. His burger was extremely overcooked. I specifically ordered my skillet with hash browns, but it came with home fries. Normally, I wouldn't make a big deal about a simple mistake, but when I mentioned it, our server responded with, "This is how they made it," as if it was now just my problem. We would have happily waited for it to be remade correctly. The skillet itself was also disappointing. The onions were extremely undercooked and crunchy, there was so much cheese that every bite had strings of cheese stretching across the table, and the eggs I ordered over-medium were over-easy at best. Then there were the cinnamon roll pancakes... which never came. When our server brought the check, she actually asked, "No one brought the pancakes?" Who else was supposed to bring them? She was our server. We also asked for napkins FOUR separate times, and somehow she repeatedly brought us ketchup instead. We never asked for ketchup. We asked for napkins. At that point, it honestly felt like our server was completely checked out. To "make up" for the experience, she brought us a piece of cheesecake that we didn't ask for and don't even eat. After everything that had gone wrong, it felt more insulting than helpful. Between the uncomfortable atmosphere, poorly prepared food, incorrect order, missing food, and terrible service, this was one of the most disappointing brunch experiences we've had. We came in excited and left wishing we had gone anywhere else. Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend dining he
