The concept of the restaurant is good, and the coffee counter ladies are wonderful. Most of the recipes are good in concept. The kitchen staff is routinely sloppy in execution. The couple of times I've bothered to politely point out a clearly flubbed dish, I've gotten lectures rather than service. I will come back when there are some changes to the staff. read more

Great breakfast sandwich and cappuccino! Very friendly staff. The flavors of both we fantastic

We ate outside on the nice patio. I had the BYOB with the roasted vegetables and it was delicious. I'm still thinking about the variety and great taste of those vegetables. It was my first time here and I will definitely be back. read more

I was excited to try this new place out and I'm so glad I did. The food is SO good! Wonderful place to have an afternoon lunch date.

Such good coffee & accommodating staff members! In addition, while the environment is small, it meets all the customer needs.

Such a cute cafe!!! We had baked French toast with blueberries (delicious), their shaken espresso on ice (love!), millennial toast (cream was sour and odd) and potato and turnip latkes (too salty and oily)!! Presentation was beautiful! Service was excellent! Loved the coffee grounds they give away for people to take for their gardens! read more

See all

Great healthy food options. We love the new Ada location! I enjoyed the Caesar Salad. The sweet caramelized onions were a nice touch.

We had such a great time at Mudpenny. The brisket and mushroom bruschetta were 10/10. Every course was exceptional, service and atmosphere were spot on and we will for sure be back for dinner!! read more

First time coming here! Great food! We got the French toast and the OG with bacon sandwich. Definitely recommend adding the bacon! Best breakfast sandwich I have ever had and was bigger than I expected. The service by our waitress was good not great. There were plenty of tables open even with correct spacing with COVID but we were seated at a table directly in full sun. Overall pleasant experience and we will be back! read more

I love this menu! There are so many great veggie options depending on what you need that day. It's also one of the only places I've found that offers full cream with coffee beverages which is delicious but also great for keto read more

I love it here. Great environment and food, eclectic menu that is worth the trip. Coffee is my absolute favorite.

Nice menu, but could not try it as they were shut down due to a virus problem. I gave it a 5 for honesty and the menu looked interesting

My fave breakfast spot. Fresh, delicious, great service every time. Wish they were open sundays!

Went there with my daughter for a weekend brunch. Food was great and we both LOVED It!

The best place to eat in Michigan!!!! Hands down the best food and service and don't even get me started on that amazing coffee! I'm a harsh socal critic and rarely impressed, but Mud Penny exceeded all my expectations and can't wait to go back whenever I'm in town! read more

What a bright, open inviting space...the staff is lovely, and the food a definite cut about average. The menu sets it apart from most breakfast/lunch spots. It's much more inventive and interesting. The quality of the food is fresh and delicious. Great addition to Ada! Shirley D read more

Went to the MudPennhy in Ada several months ago and waited close to an hour for the food. It was excellent when it finally came. Thought that might have been just one bad day for them and decided to give it another chance today. We were seated promptly and our coffee order was taken but it took them about 15 minutes to start making the cafe miel, and then I watched it sit by the barista for about 15 minutes without ever seeing our server, so there was no way it would've been warm when served. By then the two groups who came in after us were being served. Decided it wasn't worth it and left. The restaurant has a lot of potential -- the food looks great and the atmosphere is good -- but poor service will doom it if things don't improve. read more

We had breakfast here today and it was excellent. Tumeric Tea was tasty and food had amazing flavor. Sat outside and the service was outstanding. Check it out! read more

Had a great breakfast outside this morning. Lattes were artwork, breakfast dishes were creative and delicious, and the service was awesome. We'll be back soon and often. read more

They only had one kind of brewed coffee that tasted sour. The prices are very expensive for what you get. 3$ up charge on changing your bread on the sandwich but didn't tell us. $14 for and egg sandwich. This has been the second time we ate here. Sorry not going back. read more

While we got seated right away. The waiter came and took our drink order. We sat at the table when the restaurant is not packed and plenty of people working we ended up getting our drinks after 20 mins. The only reason someone noticed is because we had to call it to their attention. Not acceptable as well as the food is way overpriced now. Menu changed and not for the good. Used to love it place but not sure anymore. read more

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BUSINESS HOURS. Just went 30 minutes out of my way to get MudPenny but they were closed even though it says they're open till 8pm. It's 5pm now. read more

On a early Tuesday morning I walked into what I thought to be a lovely bakery type restaurant. I was with my daughter who just had a serious Dr apt. Right at Spectrum down the street. All she asked me for was Starbucks with her fancy drink to make her feel better. Well we decided to walk down the sidewalk and check out the shops after doing just that -were hungry and walked into the restaurant. It looked like a nice place and only a handful of tables at 9am. The hostess, who greeted my daughter and I laughed at us bringing in Starbucks- I said oh I know-I didn't plan this we walked down here- she proceeded to seat us. I was feeling uncomfortable but I was intrigued by the elaborate meal options. We placed our order and I see they are evidently serious about there coffee by the looks of the coffee bar. The waitress came by and said,' hey you can't really have those drinks in here.' I said oh.. well we just bought them. She said I can probably bring you a cup to put it into. I said ok, a little annoyed but I didn't want to cause a scene this was embarrassing enough.. I next see the waitresses all standing behind the the bar talking about us and there was a man behind a computer that got up to further talk about the situation as they evidently seen it. The waitress then walks over to me and says for safety reasons we can't have those cups in here. At that point I could see my daughters face in embarrassment so I decided time to go. What a terrible experience we had. I've lived all over the United States, including L.A., I've eaten all over the country and NEVER have I EVER been treated so poorly. Terrible customer service. There's a 100 better ways they could have treated us for evidently offending them by the Starbucks cups and they chose to be like mean kids. Well no thanks- your service sucks and I don't foresee you staying around for long if you think it's ok to treat your customers this way. read more

The food is great, the staff is always very friendly and the restaurant is super clean. They are kid friendly and and even great for just grab in a coffee to go. We will definitely go back. read more

I ordered takeout from here yesterday for my first experience with them, and while I had some issues with the website I was able to call the restaurant and the nice human on the other end of the line helped me navigate it better and I was able to place my order pretty painlessly. My husband picked it up and let me tell you, it was SOOO GOOD! I am so glad we gave it try on a whim and will definitely be ordering from them again! read more

TONS of options for every dietary preference, the dinner specials are BOMB and the pastry chef is a wizard. Coffee is amazing, vibes are immaculate, it's just what Ada village needs. read more

Great addition to Ada. Excellent spot for great coffee and breakfast or lunch options. The staff are great too! Super courteous and enthusiastic. We've enjoyed everything we've tried on the menu and have been back several times since they opened. Highly recommended! read more

Not kid friendly and poor customer service. Visited this restaurant twice with my family. It might come off that it's kid friendly but it only goes as far as the kids menu. There's no change table for little ones and we're scolded by the manager for changing our youngest who was 2 months at the time on a table outside the bathroom. Everyone from the manager to our servers we had made us feel that we as a family were a nuisance. Definitely regret even giving this restaurant a second chance. read more

Unique, delicious menu with a wide variety of foods and flavors to satisfy guests with different palettes. The drinks were equally as good as the food. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and fantastic service. Our guests from Atlanta were equally as impressed with our stop at MudPenny for breakfast. Highly recommend the rosemary lavender latte. read more

The food here continues to be amazing! The staff is always pleasant, and they brought my order right to my car. It kept well for the trip home, too. I'm already craving my next Mudpenny meal! read more
