I got their Turkey Club sandwich and LOVED it. I had heard so much about this place so I was really…read morecurious to try out their food. Honestly, I am not a huge sandwich person, but if I heard a sandwich shop is good, I'll try it. The sandwich was cut in half and had their Michigan Turkey, bacon, avocado, and other veggies that you can read in their menu. The turkey was really delicious - like, really, REALLY delicious. It was so flavorful and soft. And the veggies like avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce tasted so fresh. I got it with sourdough bread, which was really good. It was a bit tough to put the whole sandwich in your mouth because of the crusty crusts (lol), so I just resorted to eating it with a fork and a knife (very proper). The food came out rather quickly, and the service was very sweet, friendly and down to earth. Ambience was great! Casual and friendly. There is street parking - usually, it's not too difficult to find parking around this area. But maybe I just get lucky, I don't know. If it's a good day, you can walk around and enjoy the scene with the river and park!

As soon as I got it, I went and sat at a table and I could tell the bread was not fresh. It was very hard. I immediately went back up and asked if the bread was made today? And she said, "no, She gave me day old bread." Which I did pay full price for. I asked if I could have a fresh loaf because the one they had given me was very hard. She said, "no, if I want fresh I have to ask for fresh." I couldn't believe I was told that., Then I talked to the manager. He said the same thing, "you have to ask if you want fresh bread" I honestly couldn't believe they told a customer that. Will I be back? "Yes", but very disappointed in the reply. And now I know to always ask for fresh bread to me that was very bad business.

I'm thrilled (and relieved) to say that Midnite Patisserie ticks off all the boxes I look for: lots of flaky layers, buttery bites, sweet *and* savory options, and creative, gorgeous flavors. Midnite's menu rotates weekly, and in order to get your hands on them, you have to plan ahead via preordering. Check the instagram page or website on Wednesdays, take your pick (there is an option to order a sampler box at a discounted rate), and pick them up from the "secret kitchen" on Saturdays from 10 AM-1 PM. I promise you: it's 1000% worth it.

Ohhh... how I love Coucou so much! Joy and the team do such an amazing job and I am beyond excited…read morethat they're finally opening a brick and mortar this summer. The pop up shops are typically from 12-3pm on Tuesdays and Fridays, making it really hard for me to make, but I always try to hit it! I took a half day and went on a Friday to grab the exclusive donuts, both sandwiches (omg the focaccia is soooo good) and strawberry matcha. I honestly cannot be more thrilled by my purchase and I'm honestly surprised I didn't want to just buy one of everything (probably because a few things have tree nuts and I'm allergic). But they're more artisan priced but the portions are generous and the taste is amazingly delicious!! If you ever get a chance, grab something from her popups at Chef Shack while she's working on her brick and mortar. You will not be disappointed! Just know... the line will be long the nicer the weather gets! Bring a friend, listen to a good audiobook or podcast... even work off your hotspot to multi-task, but just get ready to wait at least an hour+. I usually get there between 11:15-11:30 and I'm in line for a minimum of an hour... just commit and it's worth it!

Tried the pop up back in March after seeing some hype online about them. Small commercial kitchen…read morethat rotates different pop ups. Its very basic inside but thats to be expected for the type of business it is. Got there early-ish, small line ahead of me. We were wanting to try some of their cupcakes and cake. There was more then a dozen left and we were next in line but the customer ahead of me wiped them out, seems like with a pop up, being early in the day they would have some sort of limit to how much each person could get, and we were told they dont restock. We sadly got 2 cookies to try instead, a chocolate chip and miso pretzel cookie, $8 for the both of them. The cookies were forgettable, if you go, I would skip on those - they didnt taste any different from a recipe you could make at home and there was 0 miso flavor in the cookie. I have a feeling the cakes would have been a lot better, probably why they got sold out. I wanted to try the focaccia bread but I thought the price point was too steep for what was being offered. The staff was 5/5 friendly. Ill probably go back and try them again in the future and hopefully get to try some of their cakes.

The Scandinavian shuffle is fantastic and huge served with the best homemade chips ever. There are a good number of handhelds salads and soups. They also have an extensive breakfast menu which we will try next. The cafe is small but cute and they offered to seat us in an adjacent room with more seating as it was very busy. The staff bent over backwards to make our experience lovely! Our server Emily was friendly and helpful. Upon leaving a nice young man asked about our lunch. His name is Arnie!! Grandson of the original owner and now running the business. His brother Stefan was also there and owns the Old Mill in Rockford. Another brother was present but we didn't get his name., I love a local family owned business. Do yourself a favor and visit the cafe soon!
