Allie and her staff are amazing. I truly love this place and their staff. The food is a refreshing change. I love being able to go out and get real quality food rather than processed junk. Allie and her mom put their heart totally into making your food 💗

Awesome service, the food was fast and tasty. I got the tuna mealy melt and it was super yummy. The pickled squash that was like pickles was super good too. I'll stop back in on my next visit. By the way the staff hustles and hustles so there's no wait for service. You've gotta stop in.

This place is a nice and cozy spot to grab breakfast, lunch, or brunch. If you have a group larger than four, be prepared to wait! The dining area is very small and there is one table large enough for more than 4 folks. The patio was closed on our visit as well, so there were less tables than a typical day. The food didn’t take too long to get out to our table and all of our orders were made correctly. We really enjoyed our breakfast and hope to be back soon!

Just the quintessential American diner. Small, family run, food is off the charts fresh and delicious. Best eggs Benedict I’ve had in my life (pastrami for the win). We ate there twice in 3 days, I’d be fat AF if this was close to home : ). Service was great and they keep your coffee refreshed and hot! Can’t wait to go back next summer.

My family had an excellent breakfast at this cozy cafe while vacationing in Michigan. The owner (our waitress) and her family were so friendly and made our dining experience so nice. The food was delicious and the chai lattes were perfect. The cafe also has homemade bakery items available and their molasses cookies are hands down the best I’ve ever had! We also had a lemon bar which was also very tasty. I wish we had something like this cafe close to home. Will definitely visit again when in the area in the future!

Amazing breakfast, the owner and her literal family worked so hard to make each guests breakfast experience great. I had the breakfast buritto and it was amazing. My 7 year old had chocolate chip pancakes and loved them. Oh and coloring books were on the table to keep them company. We will be back again soon!

Breakfast sandwich was delicious. Just the right amount of pesto mayo. Tons of fingerling potatoes with meal. Taking some home. Staff extremely friendly & looks like they are having fun. Definitely will return.

Obviously they only want the scummy fudgies for clients. Nobody who lives here can afford prices like this. Here's hoping they go out of business along with any other businesses which rely on tourists to survive. Michigan needs to end tourism and find a new way to thrive. We survived for years without it...
