“I love the order ahead option on the app. There's limited parking and the drive through line is usually long, but if you can find a parking spot and just run in to grab your order, it's so quick and easy. My only complaint is they packaged the cake pops with the breakfast sandwiches and the pops melted... My kids were bummed. But always consistently delicious food, drinks and coffee.Parking: I wish there were more spaces, there were none available in the lot.“
“Stood waiting for our order for about 10 minutes before a barista realized they hadn't started it yet. Ordered bakery goods and asked for them to be warmed up, but they weren't.Parking: Convenient for post-outlet mall shopping, if you want to get out of the food court to have a bite to eat.“
“The employees here are very nice. Recently, they've had the Kerwin Frost adult happy meals and I wanted all of the collectable mcnugget buddies without spending too much money. I came here a few times, and each time, the employees looked at the SKU codes on the bottom of the boxes for the figures to find the ones that I still needed, including the rare golden mcnugget buddy. I've got all 7 of them on display now.“
“I happened to be in the area on paczki day. The shelves were bare, but they were making the delicious pastry as fast as they could. The store is the size of a shoebox and the parking is minimal, but you go there to takeout. I've been here many times in the past, and the donuts are the best around! The employees were pleasant and cheerful despite the huge demand on that day.“
“It's hard to know that this gem is here. It's in the middle of an unpretentious plaza, and I found it by accident, looking for a quiet place to write. The coffee is excellent, the seating is comfortable, the music is quiet and not intrusive. The place is bright and cheerful and the staff is friendly,“
“With many cafes and coffee shops in the vicinity, one must stand out in order to win the local business. CFE does EXACTLY that! I was so incredibly impressed with CFE. The historical setting of the coffee shop has modern decor touches while keeping the building’s classical charm. Upon walking in a was greeted by truly smiling, happy staff! There is seriously nothing better! I told them I was new to the shop and wondered what they offered. The young man politely showed me their simple classic menu, seasonal specials, and the beautiful pastries and cakes. He let me know that all of the pastries were house made (except for one, which was made at a local bakery). I ordered a Cozy Chai Latte from the seasonal menu. The staff member encouraged me to pick a seat and he would bring it to my table. Such a nice touch. All pricing was very reasonable. My goodness, I have never had such a delicious cup of anything in my life. Warm, flavorful, frothy, and served in a REAL MUG! I’m sure they have disposable takeout mugs for those on the go, but I did appreciate a legitimate mug while I enjoyed catching up with a friend. An array of sweeteners and coffee accessories are available at a self-service station, along with a lemon water dispenser. The interior of the store was clean, attractively decorated, and spacious. There are many cozy options for seating - couches, armchairs, big tables, small tables, and outdoor options for the warm weather. I loved how the semi-separation of areas/rooms in the shop allowed for some more privacy. Plus, bar seating is available near the barista. The single unisex bathroom was spacious and clean, and well stocked. It is a typical bathroom but still decorated and maintained. The attached parking lot is a big benefit, too. No need to walk from the municipal lots downtown! Plenty of parking is available in the dirt lot. A low-grade, accessible ramp is present from the lot to the entryway. As I anticipated, the friendly staff said goodbye to us on our way out, flashing big smiles all around. The hospitality here made me want to write this review even more - these people care about the establishment and I wish for them to know that it didn’t go unnoticed. I will absolutely be sharing this establishment with anyone I know in the market for an elevated coffee house, with staff who are happy to be there and delectable beverages made with care (all while paying lower-than-Seattle-Based-Coffee-Company’s prices). Kudos, CFE!!!Parking: Dirt lot on the side of the establishment. There was plenty of parking when I went on a Friday afternoon.Wheelchair accessibility: Low-grade ramp from parking lot to porch and entryway.“
“Playa Bowls is an excellent smoothie bowl shop that prioritizes using the freshest, highest quality ingredients in their products. Their açaí, pitaya, and coconut bowls are not only healthy, but also incredibly delicious. I appreciate that they have a focus on sustainability and community, making me feel good about supporting their business. I usually get the Stupid Cupid ? bowl it’s one of my favorites! Overall, Playa Bowls is a must-try for anyone looking for tasty and nutritious food options“
“This coffee shop is amazing! I got the hot chocolate and it was amazing. So chocolaty and smooth. It’s hard to find a perfectly fitting lid on cups, but white pine did it. Finally, this place has the character of a 200 year old cozy cabin feel with modern amenities you are looking for.Overall, would recommend!“
“[please "like" if this is helpful]Cute neighborhood bodega. Not a huge selection, but you can get many Mexican American basics, including spices. They also have a restaurant menu. The most interesting to me was their Tes Leches cake -- wow! I can't wait to try it. It looks very special. The folks at the counter are friendly, and add a welcoming local vibe.“
“Aesthetic cafe in Lake Orion with great vibes and friendly baristas. Offers a wide selection of iced or hot coffees/teas and specialty/seasonal drinks as well as baked goods and prepackaged snacks. We ordered the chocolate chip sconookie (cross between a scone and a cookie) that was worth breaking any diets for, and the cafe con miel and Americano. Both drinks were excellent. I would've loved to see a couple of savory items on the pastry menu but we were happy with what we ended up. I now know why this is a favorite spot for my teens and their friends when they want a place to hang out or study.Parking: Street parking in front of the building and around downtown Lake Orion and lot behind the building with access to two entrances“
