“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!“

“If you are a Kpop fan and love with the Korean culture then this is the place for you! It’s one of the few places in Michigan where we Kpop fans can gather and connect with each other! I was just there and the cafe allowed Kpop fans of ASTRO to do a vigil memorial for the death of Moonbin! I wanted to do something to say my goodbyes to the artist and I seriously appreciated that they provided that space for people to do that and other Kpop events! Plus the food is always very yummy too! ✌🏻😉💜🫰🏻🇰🇷“

“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.“

“My wife and I took our 1 and a half year old out for a lunch looking for quality healthy food, and we had such an incredible experience with everything about this place, as soon as we stepped through the door we were met with this amazing energy, the dining room is adorable with little paintings the owner had done with her grandchildren, It just felt like a cozy family spot, i would 10/10 recommend to anyone thats nearby! our daughter loved everything they had we appreciated the great experience 🙏“

“nice people, great coffee!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Very good cafe, nics place“

“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!“

“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.“

“5 star service absolutely every time. I am not sure if this is family run, but it feels like it. They run their drive through like the military. I have never experienced a faster drive through experience, and it's accurate every time! Always kind and to the point. I went out of my way to write this review because this Tim Hortons is just that good. I am impressed very single time. Thank you!!“

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

“Seating was immediately and food was delicious!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I can't say enough great things about Picasso Deli! I moved away from the Novi area ten years ago. When I find myself back in town I always need to stop in and grab a chicken salad tweener! The staff is always friendly, this is a great lunch spot not to be missed!“

“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.“

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

“Chicken Tikka pizza ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food great people!“

“Wanted a relaxing place to enjoy a lunch and decided to try since I figured with the quality of merchandise and service in the store, they would be similar. While you order at a counter, you seat yourself and then wait staff takes over. The dining room is quiet and nicely decorated. The wait staff is very professional and there with a refill or checking on you.

While the menu is not large, you can find salads, pizzas, entrees, and appetizers. A couple different kinds of soups also. There is a kid's menu which adults could order from. Since I am not a huge eater, I ordered from it the grilled cheese and cup of tomato soup. I got the cheddar chive biscuits, taking one home. It came with a drink so I got my diet Coke.

All the food was well above average. I really enjoyed the grilled cheese which was on artisan bread. The cheddar chive biscuit was delicious. Fresh fruit was included with the meal. They don't have a dessert menu, but a little chocolate is brought to you at the end of the meal.

If you have a more normal American appetite, you should find your fill. The pizza is large enough to share.

Wonderful place to enjoy a lunch break from shopping especially if you want a meal not fast food in the food court. I will be back to enjoy another meal.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“great atmosphere and great food.“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“We actually live closer to another location but will drive a little farther to come to this location. The staff is super friendly and helpful, always making sure you get the best deal. We love free shot Friday so much that it’s our 2 toddlers favorite phrases! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Something The Tim Hortons chain has different employees. They have different concepts. Of the same sandwich so don't be discouraged. It don't taste. Too bad. Mine is definitely good. Bacon egg croissant depends on where you are. Wow Wonder if you can consider drive-thru as atmosphere...lol“

“They are great. We appreciate there weekly donations. They help feed so many in our community. Thank you for helping Student Pantry in Commerce Twp feed families fresh baked goods to those in need:)!“

“The atmosphere here is absolutely uplifting. The employees are always kind and respectful! The lobby is always clean and welcoming for everyone.“

“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!“
