    Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
    Emily D.

    Update: I ordered The Local Wrap for carryout today. When I went into pay, the girls were right on top of my to-go order and even let me sample the bourbon sauce they were using for the special today. They said the owner buys a specific bourbon sauce from somewhere because it's the only 1 they like and will use it for burgers and chicken. Today the special was a crispy chicken bourbon sandwich with bacon, onion rings, and bourbon sauce. The sauce was sooo good. I was definitely kickin myself for not askin what their special was today because I would've definitely ordered that over the wrap since it's always on the menu. I will definitely ask the next time I call what their special is and if they have bourbon sauce. The Local Wrap is good, but I don't know if I'd order it again. I don't hate it, I just don't love it. I think it might be the avocado that I'm not loving since I'm not a huge fan of it anyways.

    This restaurant is just getting started so only one visit. It's replacing The Palace. We had a really nice breakfast. We like a regular egg breakfast. Nothing fancy but prepared well. My husband is fussy about his eggs. I like "over easy" and he means easy. The eggs were done properly. We were very happy with quality. The coffee is good too. The other menu items look really good but we stuck with our usual. It's nice and clean and updated. Our service was good. I'm very happy that it is doing well.

    Great food and great service! I had the bacon breakfast bowl which was delicious, but my favorite was the cinnamon roll that just melts in your mouth. Staff was super attentive making sure we always had water and coffee, despite it being a busy Saturday morning. 10/10 would recommend!

    Best cinnamon roll I've ever had in my life. Also the portions are amazing here especially for the price! Staff is very friendly, delivered excellent and quick service regardless of it being a bit busy. Definitely recommend to everyone and will be coming back soon!

Clean, welcoming, and chic. I chose to check this place because we love trying coffee shops, and it was a gift shop too. Hospitality. Super friendly and accommodating. Some tables inside at front, more in back, and one table outdoor Offerings. Standard coffee shop and upscale gift shop with Michigan made and vendors. There were unique gifts for entertaining, kitchen, stationery, and whimsy things. From the barista counter, we got an iced mocha and drip coffee. The condiment station had mini moos, but the barista offfered to give me real cream from a local dairy, Moo-ville Creamery. Good cream with the delicious coffee, Jamaicain Me Crazy. We also got an apple danish and egg bite. Sadly, they forgot the whip for the mocha, and heat the food items. Thankfully they fixed the issues when I brought it to their attention. Of Note and Last Impressions. Beautiful loo: clean, stocked, pretty decor. Street parking and lot parking near by. Overall, would return. Would recommend.

    Specialty Prices for Cheap Grocery Shortcuts, Zero Transparency, and a Toxic Culture…read moreI will never support this business again. They work incredibly hard to project a wholesome, professional, and community-oriented image, but it is entirely a front. Once you start paying attention to what is happening behind the counter, it becomes clear that this place is a total rip-off and a deeply toxic environment. The customer service feels completely fake and exhausting. It behaves like a cliquey high school locker room with absolutely zero diversity. If you pay attention to the staff, the workers constantly look drained of life, stressed out, and completely miserable. I have talked to former workers who revealed that if a staff member doesn't fit into their intense, insular religious worldview, they are heavily gossiped about, bashed behind closed doors, and forced out. Management actively allows cliques of workers to gang up on specific employees, firing people unfairly just to avoid dealing with the internal drama. They put on a massive show of faking friendliness to your face, but the moment you leave, they sit in the back trash-talking the exact customers who just wanted to have an honest chat. The food quality is a complete joke for the specialty prices they charge. You can literally go to McDonald's and get significantly higher-quality food with actual preparation standards. Here, the "fresh" breakfast eggs are lazily microwaved inside a basic cup instead of being cooked on a real flat-top grill. The turkey wraps are just cheap Walmart meat and processed cheese thrown into a tortilla and zapped. The biscuits and gravy come straight out of a mass-produced, heavily salted retail can, and the avocado toast is just basic bread with a low-tier pre-made avocado spread from Aldi. What is most disturbing is that there is absolutely zero nutritional transparency--the staff cannot even tell you the calorie counts because they literally do not know what they are serving you. The menu is a massive hidden calorie trap. Their "specialty" $5 muffins are just basic recipes pulled offline that pack an undisclosed 800 to 1,000+ calories because the base is completely loaded with white sugar, yogurt, and massive amounts of straight olive oil or melted butter. Their blended frappes easily clear 1,000 calories; even if you try to order sugar-free, their base mix is a cheap retail powder that packs 300 calories per tablespoon, and they dump multiple scoops into the blender. The drinks are a total scam designed to hide a lack of barista skill. They try to look fancy by displaying Bella Goose Coffee's "liberator" beans, but they completely drown out the espresso shots by pouring them over cheap, watered-down Aldi milk and ice until it tastes like tinted water. Their sweet cold foam is just a heavy sugar trick made by cups of heavy cream with an entire can of sweetened condensed milk. If you order a matcha latte, you get a bitter, muddy, grass-tasting mess because they use Jade Leaf, which is the lowest-quality culinary-grade powder you can buy, yes i know what jade leaf tastes like i can taste it when i go to a coffee shop and that's the matcha they're using. The health department seriously needs to step in and do a surprise inspection. While they push the staff to keep the customer-facing counters looking clean, the actual storage habits inside the back fridge and how the food ingredients are actively handled would absolutely disgust any paying customer. Save your money, preserve your health, and support a business that serves real food and treats people with actual respect.
