The service was very kind and helpful, the atmosphere was homey, but sadly the food for both em and my wife was just a bit lacking. My wife loves biscuits and gravy but felt like hers were a bit over seasoned and far too much of an orange color and my parfait while delicious had a near inch thick honey well at the bottom which made finishing the insanely sweet dish nearly impossible. Maybe we just didn't get the luckiest day from the kitchen but at least we tried someplace new

Stopped in while visiting family over the Fourth of July weekend, and we were genuinely blown away…read more The service was outstanding from start to finish. Everyone was incredibly friendly, offered great recommendations, and made us feel welcome the entire time. The vibe is a 10/10. Whether you want to sit on the patio, inside, or at the unique breakfast bar, there's a spot for everyone. I wish I had taken pictures because every dish that came to our table looked incredible. I ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage and hash browns, and it was grilled to perfection, packed with flavor, and served piping hot. We also shared a waffle with blueberry topping, and it was easily one of the best waffles I've had in a long time. The prices were fair and right in line with other breakfast spots in the area, especially considering the quality of the food and service. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and stop in. I have a feeling you'll be just as impressed as we were.

Our waitress was super kind and attentive, which honestly carried a lot of the experience. And I have to start with the highlight - the chai pistachio latte. Phenomenal. Perfect balance of bitter and sweet, the pistachio flavor hit, and easily my favorite part of the meal (also just aesthetic). Food-wise, it was a mix. I got the Gouda Breakfast Burger and I loved it - juicy, cheesy, stacked, and exactly what I needed (pregnant me was very happy ). I'd honestly come back just for that. My boyfriend got the Kickin Chicken Benedict, and while the jalapeño hollandaise had a really nice kick, the poached eggs were more "gel" than runny... which is a little disappointing for a brunch spot since that's kind of the main event. Other than that, my boyfriend said it was alright. We also did ask for extra crispy hashbrowns and... they definitely did not understand the assignment. More soft than crispy, which was a letdown too. We also tried the Peanut Butter Stuffed French Toast - good, but not super memorable. For two people, our total was over $80 (three entrees, two lattes, a coffee, and an orange juice), which felt a little high for the overall experience - but not unreasonable if everything hit a bit stronger. Overall, this place has some strong highlights (drinks, burger, and service), just needs a little more consistency across the board to really stand out.

I…read moredon't get to Allendale very often (maybe twice a year) so when I was heading to Grand Valley's campus for an event recently, I made sure to allow extra time to stop by. The parking lot in front is pretty small, and there is only one access point, so if you go past it, you'll have to turn around near the apartments behind it. Don't drive on the sidewalk... I didn't, mostly because there is a sign that says, "This is a sidewalk" which made me laugh. (Truly that should be an entrance into the parking lot!) The space is very bright and airy with cute decor and space to get some work or studying done. I was greeted right away when I walked in and I had a tough time deciding what to order. I wasn't hungry, but I love that they have a full on food menu - including salads, burgers(!!!), bagels, toasts, paninis, pastries, etc. Plus all the regular coffee items, boba, smoothies, and teas. I went with one of the seasonal specials, the banana bread matcha. It didn't take too long to come out and it was very tasty - not really what I was expecting, but I liked it. It reminded me of a very green banana (which is how I prefer bananas), it wasn't super sweet but also not super matcha-y. They are expanding their space, so I am interested in coming back to see what that looks like and to order more delicious drinks and try the food!

The potatoes are so yum. This time instead of adding on the blueberry almond oatmeal, I went with the Oatcakes (pancakes made from oatmeal) which had blueberries inside. Split two cakes with my wife - enjoyed them and the cinnamon butter on top is delicious. She liked the Heartland and the kids went with French Toast plus turkey sausage.

We even ate before we went so we wouldn't get hangry, but even from the wait of being seated to the time the kitchen finally makes your plate of food, my children were almost in tears because their tummies hurt. My daughter literally only ordered yogurt and fruit. She was the LAST one served. Please train servers to get children's food out quick (for everyone's sanity). When asked how our meal was, I finally did mention that this will be our last time patronizing this establishment. Clearly they are too busy to craft a joyful and memorable experience. It's better if we find a new spot. My previous review still stands. Go if you want a good breakfast, but be prepared to wait awhile and pay a premium for it.

We did come on a Sunday for lunch so I'm sure their high demand time. Then when we got our order it was missing one of the sandwiches, so that took another 7 minutes to get. I also had to check on my order as I saw others getting theirs before ours. Bathrooms ran out of soap and paper towels. The process for getting your food was a bit confusing as there wasn't any order numbers so you couldn't tell how many other orders were in front of yours. Would only come back if I had plenty of time to wait for food.

Eggs, perfectly cooked, biscuits and gravy, sausage, sandwiches, all hand made fresh. Specials from around the world change everyday if you are a more adventurous diner. On weekends they serve artisan pizza, not gas station greasy, as good as Chicago or Detroit, and other specials from their outdoor smoker. The atmosphere is green, peaceful and country, surrounded by a farm. The service is personal and not rushed. It has a drive through but its charm is meant to be absorbed at a Croton pace. Sit down, watch the hummingbirds, hear the donkeys bray in the distance. Enjoy great food, maybe even listen to some acoustic live music. There is only one of these in the world. Do yourself a favor, experience something unique and delicious in a setting that is blissful.

The restaurant was ALL decked out for Halloween! From the time you pull into the parking lot to when you enter. Marie welcomed us kindly, gave us menus, and we found our own seats. There is seating both inside and outside. We chose a booth outside and enjoyed the scenery with all the flowers are in bloom. The tables and chairs do not match and there are vases with flowers on the table. I ordered the Thai Tea and could not be happier. When Marie brought it out she waited to stir it together so I could watch the magic. It had a pumpkin taste with a cinnamon flare is the best way to describe it. I also ordered the special "onion soup" and a blueberry lemon muffin. My husband had the club. Very strange that bacon was not on the menu. I asked and was told having bacon is a hit or miss if available. They offer sausage and/or ham products so having a club without bacon was definitely different. For a rustic roadside restaurant with neighborhood flare it was nice. The tea was the most memorable outside of the establishment itself.
