Hostess/server was an older woman who was very polite and told us some information about the area. Stopped from some pasties and they were great. Bakery they have too is all home made and very good.

Review covers back to back dinner experiences recently while working in Ontonagon. Had an amazing pasty and also tried Syl’s pizza on the second evening. Paired with a tasty house salad both meals all I can say is WOW! This place is amazing. Food, service , quaint atmosphere! What struck me most though was how reasonably priced they are. Being in the area they are where there are not many choices and with food/ freight costs lots of owners would excessively gouge their prices - not here. St Ignace area - prime example. I was very impressed with the affordability and quality of their food! Oh.. and then there’s dessert! Great offerings here as well ! You will see me when I visit Ontonagon again !

A Hidden Gem Worth Stopping For!
While passing through, we stumbled upon Syls Cafe—and what an incredible find! This cozy spot boasts a warm atmosphere and a delightful menu.

The **sweet potato fries** were absolutely delicious, paired perfectly with the **honey mustard sauce** that hit all the right notes. Iced **unsweetened tea** lovers, rejoice—it's packed with flavor and so refreshing. As for the mains, the **thin-crust pizza** stole the show. The crispy crust was perfection, and every bite was pure bliss. It's clear everything here is *homemade*—you can taste the love and care in every dish.

Let’s not forget the charming touches! Upon entering, there's a display of **cookies, donuts, pastries, and pies** that will make your mouth water. Speaking of pies, the board showcasing their **homemade pie selections** is a testament to the attention to detail this cafe offers.

The friendly staff and more-than-reasonable prices make it even better. Do yourself a favor and stop by Syls Cafe—you won’t regret it!

Everything was fantastic. We went here on a Sunday morning before a day out exploring. We were expecting a good breakfast, but we got so much more! Our waitress was phenomenal - she gave us tips on a few hikes in the area that would be good to do in the winter, and she encouraged me to try the Finnish pancake in which I had never tried before. The food was great, the coffee was great, and the service was wonderful. If you are in the area - this is the place to stop.

Great food! Very friendly wait staff! Ate there 2x while staying in town snowmobiling. Would definitely return if back in the area again!

Onto sure is lucky to have Syl's in town. They make great food at fair prices. I love their pepperoni bread sticks and pasties. Service is always great even when they're super busy in the summer.

Cute little place for breakfast. A little heavy on the grease, but overall pleasant.

Syls offers a great array of menu items at a reasonable price. The staff are polite and attentive, although things can get a little hectic if there is a rush of course. The pasties that they have are fantastic.

To truly enjoy their baked goods. One should go earlier in the day.

The atmosphere is very welcoming to anyone. I think the owner and manager are also top-notch people.
