    Inside

    Strong 4-4.5 with this place. Good breakfast! Great service from the help and generous portions. Inside is small and "basic." Could be spruced up a little to help elevate the experience. But very reliable breakfast and easy to hit when attending an MSU event. Highly recommend visiting.

    Biscuits and gravy

    I heard a rumor that this place had cinnamon roll pancakes, naturally I had to check it out! The restaurant is mid-sized with a fair amount of seating to include a small belly-up station, diner style. Parking is abundant as it is located in a large plaza. We were greeted warmly and seated almost immediately and the service was attentive and friendly. We opted for the cinnamon roll pancake combo and the biscuits and gravy. Each were served with choice of potato and egg, the pancake combo also came with choice of meat. The portions were just enough and the flavors were very good! The sausage gravy was flavorful but needed a little doctoring with a few dashes of pepper. However, the cinnamon roll pancakes stole the show! The perfect balance of fluffiness and cinnamon roll yummy goodness! They are served buttered with a frosting drizzle, no need for syrup here! The home fries and eggs and bacon made the perfect accompaniment to balance out the sweetness. I think I will literally dream about these pancakes until I return for more!

    It is amazing. It takes a little bit to get the food and you might have to wait, but it is worth it.It looks beautiful. We were in a corner, but we were right next to a portrait.

    Muffin was yummy. French toast was amazing!! Home fries were very good too. Biscuits and gravy....was ok. I wouldn't order it again. They use some kind of shredded sausage. Service was good she was on it even though 2big tables came before me. Small little area but cute gives off cafe style.

    Great little spot! Emphasis on the little. Definitely be mindful if you are a group of 6 or larger, it will be a squeeze. The staff is small and hardworking. They were super kind. The place is busy and it's best to be patient when you come, maybe a little earlier on busy mornings. Food was all delicious and hot. Prices are crazy good for this economy. Their baked goods look fire as well.

    Breakfast is often referred to as the most important meal of the day. In many circumstances, it can also be the most delicious meal of the day. Be it a laid-back brunch, a protein-packed kick starter, or breakfast for dinner--count me in. I'm all in for an omelet, chicken and waffles, grits, and more strips of bacon than anyone should be proud of. Bring on Square One Breakfast & Bakery in the Hannah Plaza in East Lansing- an amiable and unassuming café with house-baked goods and a friendly staff. A short stroll from campus, this eatery hits the mark on flavor and convenience for the MSU community- where students, faculty, and families are welcomed. The house-baked items are a treat, but I wish there were more options available for takeaway. I'd love to be able to just pop in, grab a croissant or something sweeter with a cup of the Saugatuck roasted Uncommon Coffee and bound into my day. The Good Over the course of my visits, neither I nor my dining companions had a bad bite. The waitstaff and managers are all extremely kind, both with their effort and their personas. I could see a high level of rapport with the café's regular customers, but I could also feel the genuine care and appreciation for myself as a newbie. I was fortunate on one occasion to get the last available table, but while a busy floor would mean a dip in service, the Square One crew checked in regularly and were very attentive. On to the menu: The Spartan Feast included scrambled eggs, home fries, two choices of meat (bacon and chorizo for me) and biscuits and gravy (which I will return to shortly). The chorizo was marvelous- not too spicy, allowing the cumin and garlic to shine through. The eggs and bacon were cooked nicely, but I would've preferred the potatoes to be a bit crispier. My companion ordered the Wake n Bacon burrito packed with scrambled eggs, green onion, avocado, home fries, and plenty of bacon. This breakfast handheld isn't for the faint of heart- it is hearty, cheesy, and can be paired with a crispy hashbrown, similar to one found under the shiny arches in corporate land. The BLT was solid as well, offering a copious helping of bacon and fresh ingredients piled between two thick slices of toasted sourdough. The Better Any place with challah bread on the menu will automatically have my attention. One that uses the challah for French toast is striving for greatness and even more so when the toast is stuffed with a cream cheese filling and topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It's sinfully good. The blueberry buttermilk pancakes are also very tasty, balancing the right amount of fruit without overbearing the fluffiness of the cake. Also, very good were the Maz Benedict with two of the scratch-made English muffins, which had the appropriate level of sponginess found in authentic muffins from my travels across the pond. The eggs were poached perfectly, the hollandaise light and flavorful, and the house-made sausage was good enough to order a third patty to share. The Best My friends, let me bring you in on a little secret, the biscuits and gravy at Square One are among the best I've ever eaten. Seriously, a colleague and I are still talking about them several days later, and I only offered them a single bite. First off, the biscuit (of which my companion had their own, served warm with honey) is outstanding. Perfect buttery morsels baked from scratch on-site, it was flaky and soft like those found in kitchens of generations of yore. Coupled with the gravy's chunky bits of savory goodness, the dish is rich and creamy with notes of sage and other aromatics. If only I could get a dozen biscuits to go, I absolutely would.

    Great food at a reasonable price. Pretty much always a wait so go early. The restaurant is small with limited seating but always busy.

    Delicious and beautiful. This past month we have used Cake Art of Lansing to do two family…read morebirthday cakes. The artwork was amazing! Beth captured our memories and feelings so well and personalized it into a unique canvas of frosting. It was so beautiful we were reluctant to eat it but after many pictures, we were amazed that the flavor was as scrumptious as the artwork was breathtaking! We enjoyed the strawberry, french vanilla, and spice flavored cakes. We will continue to use Beth's talents for all of our special cake needs. Thank you, Beth!

    Beth is FABULOUS and may be the nicest person around. She has an industrial kitchen in her home,…read morewhich keeps the costs low (really low...). But don't assume that because she works out of her home that her cakes aren't as fantastic as someone who owns a bakery--they are beautiful AND delicious! We tried quite a few flavors and finally decided on lemon and chocolate and they were both a hit. Beth's cakes are moist and not crumbly like some wedding cakes can be. I'm not a huge frosting person, but even I can admit that Beth's frosting is out of this world. We also rented a beautiful cake stand from her. She is totally reliable and I could always get in touch with her, which is a big comfort to someone who is planning a wedding from out of town. My only regret is that we don't live in Michigan so we won't be able to order cakes from her for our future anniversaries! Thanks, Beth!
