    Avocado and turkey
    Patty D.

    We have been here a few time before. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Adorable little cafe and store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the steaming hot and fresh tomato mushroom bisque with turkey avocado sandwich and Italian sub with freshly brewed tea. Delicious! Fast and friendly service! Their breakfast is just as delicious!

    What a great place to stop for breakfast or lunch! I had the tuna wasabi half sandwich with the tomato mushroom soup and it was delicious. I actually took my husband back to try it and we drove from Toledo! It's very charming and the employees very nice and efficient. If also is a sort of gift shop And you can buy snacks as well. Good coffee. There is separate gift shop at the patio too. There are quite a few things I would like to try in future visits to Catawba!

    Cute lake life bag I bought

    Extremely long wait for 2 lattes. Not worth the wait. Tasted like hot milk. No coffee and no caramel flavor. Don't waste your time here.

    Best Chicago style hotdogs outside of Chicago I've ever had. I treat my husband to lunch here often during the season.

    This review is for not only the amazing coffee in this quaint and cozy coffee shop, but also the…read moreamazing catering they did for an event this weekend. Came to middle bass island for the Great Lakes cruising club rally (https://www.glcclub.com/) Friday and Saturday were rainy, windy and cool. Friday evening's dinner was a BBQ catered by the team from Island Grind. (Pulled pork, chicken breast, coleslaw, potato salad and dessert bites.) They did a great job bringing the dinner to the Lonz pavilion. It was hot and everything tasted great. Saturday morning, they provided breakfast. Since it was chilly, they offered the speakeasy for us to be in versus the pavilion. The breakfast was delicious. Blueberry pancakes, perfectly cooked bacon, sausage patties, yogurt granola and strawberries and multiple juices. Saturday evenings dinner was salad, garlic bread, lasagna, eggplant amazingly large meatballs, and Italian lemon cream cake for dessert. Fortunately, the weather cleared and was nice and sunny. Dinner in the Lonz pavilion was served hot and it tasted wonderful. Jane and her team did an awesome job all weekend! Highly recommend this coffee shop for their catering as well as anything they serve for breakfast or lunch! A must stop if you're on the island!

    10+ stars. We had an amazing day on middle bass island, which is a little known secret and…read morebeautiful place just a quick ferry ride away from put in bay!!! Kudos to the buckeye state for putting their tax dollars to good use and converting the old Lonz winery into this gorgeous state park! The old mansion is open for tours where you can learn about the epic parties that George and wife Fannie hosted. The upstairs has been beautifully restored and can be rented!! There are also some walking paths with informational signs about the wine making history on the island and other factoids. We thought we'd make George and Fannie proud and ended our day at the island grind- wait for it- speakeasy!!! The drinks were delicious, and the decor, vibe and crowd were all A+. There is also an adjoining coffee shop and restaurant that's open during the summer. Special recognition to our barkeeps Kieran and Daniel, Lynne the mansion tour guide , and Jane the manager. One of my best memories from my time on the bass islands.
