Cafes near Pontiac

“Had not been here for a salad in a long time. Their Chef Salad was just as good or better than I remembered. Lots of fresh tasty vegetables, meats cheese. Freshly baked Pita Bread and Salad Dressing was just right! Waitress was wonderful! Very helpful. Happy with the price and prompt service. Highly recommend!! I will be returning a lot more regularly.“

“The woman behind the counter at 9am on August 31st, 2024 was very polite and patient with me and every customer who came her way, while she was doing several other things! She will have customers keep coming back, even if the food/drinks takes a lil longer.“

“What a wonderful gem to discover in Troy! Such a beautiful, artfully-arranged atmosphere. It’s clear the owners put love and passion into their space. A perfect meeting place for a delicious lunch and great coffee with dear friends.“

“Hands down best breakfast around!“

“We love to go there for ice cream!“

“Great!!! Very nice place!“

“very good food at a fair price. The staff is very friendly with all people. I'm very excited to go back and get another meat omelette with Country gravey and an order of pancakes.“

“Once again had a delicious lunch. Staff are so polite and helpful. My favorite place for quick tasty meal.“

“L.A. Cafe is a quirky little coffee shop that also offers breakfast and lunch. I've had their dark roast coffee as well as their chili nachos, and they did a nice job with both endeavors. Their menu and their indoor seating are somewhat limited, but that doesn't seem to create any problems, at least not on weekday mornings. I really enjoyed speaking to the young lady who works as their hostess/server; she smiles a lot and can hold her own in any engaging conversation. All in all, it's really good to see this alt oasis doing so well in a sea of regressive minds.“

“Today was my first time dining at this establishment and I can most definitely say it will not be my last. I had the caramelized banana French Toast that I added whipped cream too, sausage, hash browns, and fresh squeezed Orange juice!! Leeza is so sweet with a great warm spirit and very personable. If you haven't tried her restaurant give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“Great coffee and brunch options! Try their shakshuka. It's amazing!“

“The best bread and bakes!“

“nice people, great coffee!“

“I absolutely love this bakery! We drive about an hour for it and it never disappoints. Get there early because the best stuff goes fast. There is also a little extra parking on the street if you find the lot full (which it often is). My favorite thing is the pistachio croissants, but if you are looking for savory, I also recommend the pastries with mozzerella, basil, and sun-dried tomato.“

“Friendly staff, yummy smoothies, and tasty loaded teas. Love getting my nutrition fix!“

“So we decided to take a different way home after spending the weekend in Detroit and went through West Bloomfield since I-75 has so much construction going on now….and we just happened to see Sunny’s and decided to stop in. WOW are we ever glad we did!! What a fantastic brunch!! The Belgian waffle with fresh fruit and whipped cream was incredible….and the meat lovers omelette was stellar too!! A little pricey, but worth every penny. Friendly staff too! This was our first time here and my wife and I already discussing when we can drive into West Bloomfield again (about 30 miles away) so we can enjoy a breakfast or brunch there again!!“

“Love this place. Girls are always very attractive, friendly, and their smiles and pleasant conversation always make my day when I visit. It is always nice to watch them make my coffee. The coffee menu has good choices. The Waterford location is my closest location so it is always clean and the drive thru is spacious. One suggestion though, maybe invest in a new sign out front, the current plastic could use a good cleaning or replacement.“

“The steak and eggs and the pear, goat cheese toast is perfection! Great atmosphere.“

“This review is for the Royal Oak Roast only. The road is full of as*holes , the world going to sh*t more and more. The people in charge care not at all and we are on a very possible path to doom. Why not stop in at Royal Oak Roast? It’s a comfy place with great people watching. The coffee is wonderful and refills are a dollar. So many different coffee choices in all styles, including espresso over over Weiss vanilla ice cream!!! The kitchen, yes I said kitchen has scrumptious food that is presented beautifully with the seasonal selections. All this sound good? Well that’s not even the best part. It’s the staff. It’s a varied collection of kind, hard working people that make you feel welcomed and are always working hard to get your order out to you. Leave the stress behind and relax here with friends and future friends. You will be glad you came“

“Stopped in for a quick latte today and it turned out great—smooth, warm, and made just right. Rohini handled the order with her steady, friendly attitude, and the whole visit felt easy from start to finish. This Tim Hortons keeps delivering because of service like hers.“

“I can't recommend the Sunrise Cafe enough. Stopped in on a whim for breakfast while on a family adventure and everyone left happy and full. The menu is extensive and everything was freshly made and very yummy. But what really put it over the top was the service! From the greeting at the door, to the prompt attention, and one of the best servers ever! 10 out of 10! We will be back!“

“If you want your coffee made right this is the place.. Ask for Melanie great service with a great smile..“

“Delicious, healthy prepared food. Homemade soups daily. The tomatoes in the garden salad tasted live they came straight from the farm. The salad dressings are homemade. Cozy atmosphere great for lunch with friends or dining alone.

Parking: In the Michigan Design building. Easy to find. Park anywhere on premises. I took the shuttle from the nearby car dealerships while waiting for service.“

“We have found our place! It’s our go-to for happy hour and for a great dinner experience! We have never been disappointed!! The staff is friendly and very accommodating!!“

“The employees at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory are highly knowledgeable about their products. They can provide detailed information about the different types of chocolates, flavors, and ingredients. They are also well-versed in assisting customers with any dietary restrictions or allergies, ensuring everyone can find a suitable treat. like ther good jobs and Recommended this services.“

“Seating was immediately and food was delicious!“

“Best restaurant around with the great food! Breakfast is my favorite there!“

“I’ve been coming to Early Bird Restaurant for 20 years, it maybe small but it really packs a punch with it Great Food selection and flavor. One of my favorites is the Meat Skillet with scrambled eggs (ITS AWESOME). I also have to mention that the staff has is AWESOME, most have been there for years and they are all great. This IS my number (1) Restaurant by far.“

“Destiny is the person who served us food she was extremely kind and working very hard and she is so so kind and the food and pizza they make is really amazing they deserve more reviews and destiny is extremely kind and working very hard and being very good and kind to customers.“

“Great place great food great service great stuff“

“The cashier was completely rude to us for no reason upon checking out. We placed our loose items and small items on the belt. Everything else was single layer in the cart with the bar codes facing up for her convenience. But, after she scanned the cart full of items before us, she snapped at my husband. demanding everything be on the belt. This attitude was unprovoked, and not appreciated. And in the end created more work for not only us but herself while costing customers. I am not paying to deal with hostile employees. There are other warehouse stores like Costco & BJ's that would love and probably even appreciate our business.“

“Lovely hotel with an excellent atmosphere and vibe. Great location as well. Service at the bar could be improved but overall, a positive experience.“

“I’ve been driving past this place everyday for the last year and just recently stopped in and haven’t stopped since. I am always greeted when I walk in and the women are super helpful. My first time she explained the entire menu to me and all the options. Even told me what bagels just came out of the oven. And when I tell you it was UNREAL I mean it! Egg and sausage sandwich on Asiago was so fresh and so tasty. I’ve gone a handful of times since and ever single time I walk out in a better mood. Elaine’s has amazing bagels and their hazelnut coffee is unmatched. You got yourself a regular. I recommend this place to anyone!“

“The food is decent for an office cafe. My fries were a bit cold, but the taste was decent. The staff seem to be abundant and helpful. There are plenty of tables. There are lots of food options as well. I like that you can order online, but you'll need to approach the counter for online orders. They don't call them out like all the rest of the orders.“

“Been here a couple of times. Place is usually busy so expect a wait. I’ve eaten each of their Skillet Hash options, Market and Farmhouse, and both are good. Overall a nice place to eat breakfast.“

“Been to this location many times. I have always had great service and treated so well! I want to give a special shout out to Tina who really goes out of her way ever time I’m there. Thank you so much. I will be returning. ❤️❤️❤️“

“great atmosphere and great food.“

“My experience at A-OK Cafe was very pleasant. Firstly, the atmosphere is extremely beautiful. I love the dark vibe and the color scheme they have going on. It is a little small, but that is not too big of an issue. The service was great and the employees are always professional. I have been here 3-4 times, so you can see the different drinks I have pictured below. The first drink that I have pictured is one of their pistachio lattes, which was okay, but their pistachio did have a strong almond extract flavor. That is something I am not the biggest fan of. The last drink I have pictured is their banana pudding matcha latte, which I preferred over the pistachio latte. The flavors were there, but at other cafes, there is banana pudding with fresh bananas placed on top of the drink. I believe the bananas placed on top were frozen or just very cold. Regardless, the flavors were great, but I personally have had better banana pudding matchas at other cafes.“

“Was not disappointed. Food was good.“

“Dec 31st 2025, pretty much empty and I had to pick something up for my wife and I from here.
It's been a while since I've been to Panera, and the lady behind the main counter/bread area was kind enough to help he guide to the pick up area, instead of waiting for a call-out.
I ordered coffee as well with the syrup option, but didn't know where the syrup was, and she helped me out again by taking the coffee from me to the espresso bar and bringing it back. What she did NOT know is I'm recovering from a knee procedure, and didn't want to walk all the way to the bar and back. That minor gesture of kindness was something that could make anyone's day. So, thank you to that lady who helped me 12/31/2025 around 3:45 pm.“

“I love the Toasted Frontega Chicken sandwich, and that's why I come to Panera.
So today, I did the Pick Two option, and in addition to my half of a Toasted Frontega Chicken sandwich, I added a bowl of Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup. It was also nice that when I asked for water, she provided me with a cup, free of charge, to fill at the drinking station.
Everything was as expected, and I will be back in the future.“

“This has been my favorite Thai restaurant for a while now. When they know you by name when you make a phone-in order, it just feels right. I love their hot&sour soup, and the Prik Khing is my go to for just adding some joy to my life.“

“This place deserves 10 stars if there was an option. It’s located right inside of the PNC Tower in Troy, so it’s main customer base is people who work inside of the building. Even if you don’t work in the building, I highly recommend still coming here to eat.

I’ve been going here for 4 straight years now and I have nothing but positive things to say about the food, cleanliness, and customer service. Dolita, the owner, is incredible. She gets to know you well and will remember your orders and make sure they are spot on, every time.

Again, nothing but great things to say!“

“Easy to order, soups are hot and you can have them bring it to the curb.“

“Tried this café for the first time today and wow, absolutely blown away. I came in during the lunch rush and even with how busy it was, everything came out fresh and full of flavor. The food was honestly the best I’ve had in a long time, so fresh it tasted like it came straight from the garden to my plate. And the prices? Perfect, especially for the quality you’re getting. Hands down, if you’re in the area, you need to grab a bite here.“

“Excelente ambiente, café, panes, muy rico todo, pasamos bellos, tranquilo y geniales momentos!!“

“Ace is wonderful!!! Ace made us feel like family. They went out of their way to make sure we were able to use the rewards on my loyalty card and made friendly conversation. You just don’t get customer service like that anymore. Ace is the best!“

“My daughter and I enjoyed a Mothers Day lunch here together. The food was fresh and tasty. We shared a strawberry salad and hamburger. Kitchen kindly split the entrees for us in back. Nice wine offerings and mimosas. Popovers came out fresh from the oven served with their strawberry butter- yummy!“

“Great place to get some coffee or non caffeinated drinks! Spacious interior. Lots of seatings. Service is quick and friendly. Our chai latte was great and extra hot as ordered. Overall nice experience and will be coming back to this location with a pleasure“

“The new guy on the drive thru speaker and also AKA cashier absoultely rocks. Brightened up my day, many thanks.“
