Hawaiian chix sandwich lacked flavor, pineapple straight from the can and almost raw bacon with a very lackluster cheese. Friend got the GCwBacon and said the same (only her bacon was cooked) The staff takes the home kitchen vibe a little too far, loudly communicating across the room (ok yelling across the room) Also, fairly high prices for a side street cafe. Overall...would not go back

I walked to this coffee shop from Bay City Park Campground and tried an iced lavender honey…read moreespresso and it was so good! They added just the right amount of the 3 ingredients to come up with a 5 star drink. The lavender flavor was there but not overpowering which I loved! I also ate 2 donuts from Hanisch Bakery and they were so good, especially the pastry cream filled one. It was my favorite! There's seating inside or outside and lots of parking. It's right off the highway that runs through Bay City.

I stopped into Red Wing Confectionery on a Saturday afternoon as I'm a huge chocolate lover, so…read morethis place was calling my name. There's so much to take in that I had to set a personal limit (though it's reassuring to know I can always come back... and I will!). They offer a great variety: handmade chocolates, ice cream, coffee, and candies. It's a little treasure for anyone with a sweet tooth. The sweet smell of ch plate fills the air and you can actually see stuff packaging the chocolate (near the counter). The only downside was that the staff didn't greet us when we walked in....we kind of had to initiate the interaction. But once we got talking, things were friendly enough. I left with a small stash of chocolate treats, and they were delicious. Red Wing Confectionery is definitely going to be a regular stop for me whenever I'm in town!

My kids pulled me in here because they saw people leaving with ice cream cones. We went in, browsed…read morethe delicious looking chocolate displays, and you can even see chocolatiers working on creating some yummy treats. We ended up getting ice cream and were happily surprised by the delicious flavors of Cedar Crest creamery. I really liked the honeycomb and graham cracker ice cream! PRO TIP: a "single scoop" is actually two scoops, so you can add for a kids cone to get just one scoop.

Honestly, I didn't think the place would live up to what I had seen ahead of time. The croissants…read morewere fantastic! I only stopped at the counter, checked out the offerings, and picked up a few things to go. The place was nice and charming but the seating didn't look too comfortable. Listen, it's not about the chairs. This is a gem of a cafe with excellent baked goodies and desserts. Indulge and enjoy!

Decided to give this place a try after being in the area. Quick review: Food was VERY tasty!…read moreService and ambiance... definitely lacking.... I walked in and saw you could either order on a large touch screen on with a person at the front. I don't mind touch screens, so I went to start my order. The problem is that there are no pictures... so you're not 100% sure what you are ordering. I stopped the order and walked over to the case to order with the employee instead. There was one woman in front of me and she got her items quickly. I ordered 5 items. (See pic below) All of them were fantastic! I really do judge a place by how well they can do a croissant, and this place does them very well!! The employees were very polite but for some reason my order took almost 15 mins to fill... I watched them pull the items from the case, so I'm not sure why it took them so long to do the order. There was only one other person who ordered after me and she had a drink and a box of pastries too... she received her items first. As for the space, it is bland and feels like an old Carribou coffee.... There really wasn't anything that felt "Paris or French" here. Very bland and not very cozy. If you plan on going(the food was very good) order it to go...

I was always curious riding by here. We finally had an opportunity last Saturday around 10 ish…read more Interesting how the front half is all booths and the back is tables which is where we sat. I got the senior meat 2 egg omelet with sausage and cheese. It comes with toast and hash browns. I got wheat and should have gotten the sourdough. Basil gave me a slice of his and finished mine. He got the rush river skillet. I'm always interested in what coffee brands restaurants use and they use Ridgeline which I'm guessing is local. We both enjoyed an above average breakfast and look forward to coming back. I may try something not as basic next time.

Also LOVED that they had some games at the table, we definitely took advantage of the UNO.

It was made properly and tasted pretty good. (I tried it). The deep fried pickles my grandson got as a side were burnt. Really they should have never left the kitchen . I had the bleu cheese burger. Not good. The burger was overcooked and the bleu cheese was some runny bleu cheese "dressing ". The fries were ok. Our waitress was nice enough but I am not sure she had ever waited on a table before. She didn't know the specials, we had to ask for tableware, and also for refills on our beverages. When it came time to pay we had to seek her out. It used to be decorated kind if cue with various humorous sayings on the wall, a handwritten white board menu and no tv. They also had a no cellphone policy. The small town cafe ambiance is gone. That's too bad. We probably won't go back.
