Customer Reviews

"What a cute little place to try! It was recommended to me, and I'm so glad I went. The wait wasn't too long, but it was worth it. For a smaller place, there was a lot of seating. There was so many food options that it actually took awhile to finally pick something! I had a French Silk cold brew (yum!), and the breakfast BLTA sandwich with fruit. The menu had a Southern feel, but that's what makes it unique. And definitely try the Oatmeal Pancakes with the cinnamon butter! The server was amazing and it was a colorful ambiance. I'd also recommend!"

- Rachel V.

"Eclectic cafe nestled in the cute town of Grand Haven. There is a wide variety of options on the menu with daily specials. Coffee is always hot and delicious. The house made whipped cream in the mocha Java is scrumptious. Omelettes are fluffy and the turkey sausage here is so tasty! They make a pineapple salsa (served on the side of a Denver omelette) that makes taste buds break dance Everything is prepared with love. Great portion size, and food was plated to perfection. Our server was extremely attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere here!"

"Quite a nice place. Ordered the biscuits and gravy with eggs atop sunny side up. Ethan (server) was friendly and knowledgeable. Coffee was a top notch brew very flavorful and robust. Not often do establishments carry such a great blend. Environment was very cozy, quaint with a vintage flair reminiscent of other older cafes, diners of the era. A very well kept location. Next time I visit I will have to bring a companion to share this experience with."
