    Greek Salad with gyro meat.
    Joe G.

    Friendly establishment with a large menu. I can personally recommend the Greek salad with gyro meat. It was really good. The cranberry juice was better than most. Found it odd that the veggie wrap was grilled which was not mentioned on the menu. Service was above average.

    Lovely mom & pop cafe with amazing breakfast! It's a great feeling to find a place like this that makes you feel at home after traveling. Their "Great Breakfast" was the best bang for my buck. $4.99 before 11am for eggs, bacon, English muffins, and MORE! Be prepared for street parking but no wait time when you walk in. Amazing prices and polite staff. Very very pleased

    Food wasn't the worst but it definitely did not look appealing or was that appetizing. I went with a group of my girlfriends and we were all pretty upset with our meal and service from our waiter.

    Want a great breakfast! This is my new favorite restart in the Dexter area. I have gone to this location for more than 25 years, during which time it had changed management and ownership many times. While I miss the days when locally sourced trout was an option as a breakfast menu, I do not miss the unwelcoming but short time period where they staff were forced to wear xenophobic T-shirts and I wished the management would read the pocket copies on the US constitution they had placed at every table. Sensing a change, I returned and was delighted! The place is now not only immigrant friendly, but seems to be welcoming to all people! But, even better, the food is amazing and fairly priced (for 2022). The Greek omelet with gyro meat was spectacular! The hash browns appear to be truly homemade, not preshredded frozen potatoes. The toast was cooked exactly the way I like, and they even made an ice coffee for me. Waitstaff is friendly and happy to work there. Modern furnishings and clean bathrooms. A bit dark inside, but they have plenty of outdoor seating. This would be a great destination for a long weekend bike ride....

    Every table filled on Sunday morning.

    The Riverview is still a fiver with owner and chef Jimmy serving up a wide variety of delicious omelettes on Main St. of this small town just west of the Arbor-town. Today's breakfast consisted of a Hawaiian Omelette, a Philly Steak Omelette and an order of Chocolate Chip Cakes. Awesome tasting 'lettes cooked soft along with small-town friendly service. Great spot...clearly a fiver.

    Two eggs over easy, home made hash browns, crispy bacon and great coffee make this the perfect country breakfast.

    Great breakfast place. Friendly staff, great service, and resonably priced. I am glad to see a breakfast place downtown again.

    Delicious breakfast and great customer services. Don't forget to finish the meal with their homemade rice pudding. Oh my gosh, to die for!

    My "chicken and waffles" was literally Tyson chicken strips on a waffle. If your going to offer such a luxury please make it from scratch.

Because they've replaced them with additional delicious offerings like local pastries (donuts from Washtenaw Dairy and other bakeries like Two Songs and vegan offerings from Botanical Bakeshop) and tasty offerings like breakfast offerings like breakfast burritos and bowls, bagels, etc (big fan of the farmer's bowl). Also their chicken salad sandwich is quite good, too! I am also a HUGE HUGE fan of their barrel aged nitro cold brew. Oh man it's so good and so unique! Highly recommend if you like a really complex coffee.

Their online order and drive through pick up option is super convenient. I love their coffee and have been pleasantly surprised by their breakfast sandwich and their hot honey chicken sandwich! Both are delish! They also carry donuts from washtenaw dairy and baked goods from Two Songs so there is plenty local delicious treats to try! Indoors their space is chill and quiet with most folks working or studying so it's a pretty relaxing environment. They're always super friendly even over the drive through window and always offer my dog a treat which is super nice! Definitely recommend!

We had a Yelp event at their Dearborn location. I really wanted the iced Adeni chai that a few reviews have talked about, but they were unfortunately out. So, I got the hot Adeni chai with no sweetener. It does take a little longer as they brew it fresh. You can watch them heat and steep from the induction stove right there which is pretty cool. I was surprised by how spacious it was. There were ample tables (that I appreciated they were wiping down on a regular basis) as well as WiFi. If I need to change up scenery, I'll have to stop by here. Also they had a whole refrigerated case of goodies. I'll have to come back and get something - that Pistachio dream cheesecake was calling to me!

We went when there was a student discount (buy one get one free) so that was great, but to be honest, I probably wouldn't go if one of my drinks weren't free- the prices are crazy! But, I guess I can't complain given my normal Starbucks order is around the same cost. Drinks were tasty but the refresher was kind of bland. Again, if we're comparing to Starbucks, I probably would still choose my regular refresher there over this one. Environment was quiet, clean, and easy to study, however it was SO hot! I'm wondering if the heat was on. Not sure why that would be the case since it was the middle of September. Overall, I was a little disappointed with my experience. It did not stand out to me and was overwhelming because of the heat.
