Saw Novel on FB. Drove to Michigan for Mother's Day with my adult children. My daughter was willing…read moreto drive from Southgate with me to visit Novel for books & a sandwich! Even better than I had hoped. My daughter found several books as did I along with stickers, matchbooks and much more! The people were so friendly & helpful! My sandwich was so delish! My daughter said hers was "wonderful"! Told them it was worth the drive from Texas to enjoy the experience with my daughter for an extra special Mother's Day! Will put it at the top of my list for my next visit to Michigan!

Finally made it in for our first visit. We split two sandwiches and these are our thoughts: grilled…read morecheese was just ok, needed more cheese. The roast beef chimichurri was okay, but it felt like it needed something to level out the heat of the chimichurri. I think it would be amazing with some roasted red pepper--slight heat to balance the spice. I know it would change the sandwich to something entirely different, but i think it would be amazing with coleslaw. Bookstore was fine, just a lot less books than I was hoping for. Looks like they keep a mix of more popular/new release titles, mixing in some older favorites. As a librarian I am always going to want more books, so take that with a grain of salt.

They also make their smear (cream cheese) in house and slice their own lox (smoked salmon). The salmon was particularly impressive, it just melts. Their bagels are on the pricier side, but they are large, fresh, and delicious. I've tried my classic order (sesame, scallion smear, lox) and one of their bagel sandwiches (eggs, bacon, tomato, cheese), which are very hearty. They have breakfast and lunch options. They were out of the chicken salad when I stopped in, their egg salad was very good though. The were hustling on a Sunday afternoon, a really hard working staff here, but the staff who helped me remained friendly. I'm excited to try some of their more creative options.

We sat at the end of the bar that you could actually see into the kitchen and we had one bartender seven customers and four people working in the kitchen which was very impressive. This isn't a rinky dink operation I think I could come back here for a group event and know that we wouldn't wait forever. Kudos to you guys for bringing this place up to standard!

The front was hot (sun was beating in) but the seating in the back felt cooler. We decided to sit outside which was cute. Very chill and welcoming. Staff was friendly. You order at the cash register. We were given a number to put on our table but told to wait for our drinks by the counter before finding our seats. Lots of unique things on the menu. I went with a lavender lemonade which was sweet and tart, a little floral but in a good way. Also ordered the buddha bowl which was super disappointing. Not much flavor and dry. Needed a different or more dressing. Cheese quesadilla off the kids menu was okay as well, came with a store bought apple sauce cup. But the sweet potato fries were amazing. Great flavor and had a crunch to them, not soggy. I will say the portions were pretty big.

The restaurant is very open, and it is attached to Papa Joe's market. There's also a doughnut store in the same little area. I had the mushroom and goat cheese omelette, and I really liked that you could get a salad as a side; while I love potatoes, salad just seemed to fit with this kind of omelette. I got rye toast (which was really marble rye), and it came with homemade strawberry jam. Or maybe it was dressing. I liked it on the salad! The omelette was very good as well. I loved the fried onion rings that were on top. My sister had the chicken caprese sandwich, and she enjoyed it as well. I am glad we decided to try this place. It was very good!
