My husband had a #3 which had Ham, Brie cheese, apple and dried cherry aioli. It was good but very bland with all that going on.

After ordering, we waited about 10 minutes for our sandwiches. I ordered the #7, which included turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato, white cheddar, basil, aioli, and wheat bread. I ordered it warm, which was perfect, especially on a cold day! I loved the combination of flavors. The basil and aioli provided a unique flavor. The sandwich was very big, and I certainly could have split it! I would certainly order this again. We ate inside. They have a few bar stools against a window counter. My only complaint is the small dining area.

It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.

The place was full when we entered, but no one was ahead of us in line. We were seated with mugs of fresh coffee in front of us in five minutes. For food, we stuck to the basics: plates of two eggs/hash browns/toast, with sausage added to mine. Overall it was very good. The toast was thick, possibly homemade, but if not, it still wasn't the kind of industrial-grade bread lots of diners serve, My sausage wasn't greasy or bland in the least (which, again, is something too many diners settle for). Over-medium eggs were verging on hard cooked, but I guess that beats underdone. By the time we finished the line at the back had grown, and I'm sure those in it were glad to see us stand up. They probably also left just as satisfied as we did.

I started with the Smoked Brisket Hash 2 eggs, smoked pulled beef brisket, redskin potatoes, sweet onions, and toast. Savory, delicious, smoked meat and potatoes.

I also got the BCD Cakes as a desert. 3 extra large cakes, Michigan maple syrup, whipped butter and a sprinkling of powder sugar. Rich, thick, and sweet pancakes. They were the perfect pairing to my savory meal, however it was way too much food for one person. Their portions are large and you will not be leaving hungry. A few more things to note is that the deli has a rustic cabin themed. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive to the table.

My daughter's Dutch baby was sitting in a pool of grease and should have been sent back, but she didn't say anything because she thought it was normal, and by then it was too late.
