The cafe seems far more invested in cultivating an aesthetic than delivering quality food or…read morehospitality. Service feels slow and strangely disengaged, as though customers are interrupting the ambiance simply by ordering. What should feel warm and welcoming instead comes across as performative and inattentive. The food is especially disappointing considering the prices. The sandwiches are remarkably small and underfilled, leaving you wondering whether you accidentally ordered a half portion. The salads are even worse, which is essentially a pile of arugula. For a downtown business surrounded by residents and neighboring businesses, the lack of inclusion for the community and the repeated disregard for basic city noise expectations is difficult to ignore. Ultimately, Flint has several coffee shops that provide better food, better service, and a far more genuine sense of love for the community here.

Their donuts range in flavors from classic, to seasonal and they also have vegan options. Overall the donuts were kind of mid.

The girls working there were super friendly and I like how they redid the space to make it more modern in there!

The minute I pulled up to Melli Cafe, I knew I was in for a treat. The signage and outdoor vibe of…read morethe café are on point. Walking inside immediately confirmed I had made a good choice. The decor inside is thoughtful and really pretty. The staff were exceptionally kind and complimented my Office sweatshirt and struck up a nice little conversation while I chose my drink drinks and pastries. I saw an Instagram that they had a berry Matcha special, so I ordered that. They had a lot of other fun Matcha flavors, so it was honestly hard to decide. I really loved my drink, although it was much sweeter than I typically like a Matcha to be. The flavors were just so delicious. I ordered my husband a shot of espresso. He seemed to be pleased with it. We got a few honey, cinnamon cookies, and a vanilla cookies. I liked the honey cinnamon cookies much better than the vanilla cookie. They also sell mini Greek donuts, so I would like to return to try those sometime! And there is an adorable gelato counter with black ice cream cones. I can only imagine how beautiful it would look in a photo! I could see my family coming for gelato sometime in the summer when we visit Michigan next. Parking was super easy as there is a big lot for a few of the businesses in the plaza.

Melli's Cafe is such a bright little gem with a Greek twist!…read more Super clean, modern space with pretty decor and a relaxed vibe. They use Illy coffee (always a good sign), and the iced drinks are smooth and not overly sweet. The pastry case is dangerous in the best way... croissants, cakes, cookies, and especially the loukoumades (Greek donut bites) with flavors like honey, pistachio, and Biscoff. They also have gelato, milkshakes, and some light savory options, so it's not just dessert central. Easy parking, right by a park, and there's even a cute resale shop next door which makes it feel like a whole little outing. Bonus points for the community phone charger. Definitely a spot you pop into for coffee and end up staying awhile

Flint Crepe Company is a must-visit breakfast-brunch spot in downtown Flint, for more reasons than…read moreI can fit into any review. There is plenty of seating, and they open up outdoor seating when warmer weather comes. Despite how busy it gets, you will find seating opens up pretty fast. The staff are kind, quick, and knowledgeable, and prices are reasonable for the caliber of quality you get with every menu option. They also have a seasonal menu that is worth keeping an eye on as it cycles throughout the year. Every dish I've ever had from here has been a feast for all my senses. I recently got the Michigan Smoke and substituted their roasted garlic cream sauce for the BBQ sauce- it was seriously delightful!!!! I usually get their egg crepe and they also have seasonal drinks.

If there's one thing this city has in spades, it's decent places to grab a coffee. The Palette Cafe…read moreis no exception. Tucked away inside a corner near the front of the FIA, the Palette Cafe has all the makings of an all-around quality coffee spot, featuring a small, but well-rounded brunch menu, solid coffee drinks, free WI-FI, a comfortable atmosphere, and even adult beverages to boot (they serve wine). Years ago, this was a standard-issue, Starbucks-licensed coffee kiosk with some seating, designed to keep patrons of the FIint Institute of Arts happy if they wanted a coffee or a cookie in between checking out art installations. That has changed. Eventually, it came into its own and became the Palette Cafe (the name is obviously a wink to its location within the FIA, wink wink), a full-service coffee shop with a host of food, coffee drinks and more with expanded hours, its own WI-FI connection, events held on-site, and more. Today, it holds its own in a city dripping with places to get a cup of coffee. They serve coffee from the Mighty Good Coffee Company out of Ann Arbor and true to its name, it is mighty good (long gone are the days of serving Starbucks). The Cafe Americano is my go-to drink, smooth and bold at the same time with no acidic aftertaste. Weak, it is not, but it isn't overtly strong and bitter, either. It's just right. Now, that's a good cup of coffee. As for the food, there are a couple of clear winners on their brunch/lunch menu. The caprese flatbread is my favorite on their new "sandwich board" menu. It isn't slapped together in a rush or made with less than fresh ingredients. It was better than I expected it to be. The flavor, texture and presentation were all there. I had no complaints. I'd say it was at least comparable, and in some cases, much better than the caprese flatbreads that I've had elsewhere. They have a quality Mediterranean Veggie sandwich, too, piled high with appropriate fresh vegetables on artisanal bread, an optimal choice for a vegetarian like myself. My husband had a Tuscan Chicken sandwich once and gave it the thumbs up. My husband and I split the hummus appetizer, which was a decent size for two people. I liked the texture and taste of the hummus, creamy without being oily. Oily hummus is a no no, so naturally, I was relieved that it wasn't a disappointment. It was actually quite good and made for a great shareable appetizer. I would order it again. The soup of the day is always made fresh in-house daily, so remember to check that out. The soups rotate frequently, which means what you had last weekend might not be back on the menu for awhile, but it's best to check back regularly for updates. They have a nice variety of fresh baked treats to satisfy a sweet tooth, but my favorite are the sugar cookies, so soft and moist. I'm sad to admit this, but they are far and away superior to any sugar cookies that I've personally ever baked at home. I know, I should be embarrassed about acknowledging that, but who cares? Oh, and I did mention they serve wine, right? Yes, they do! There's nothing wrong with that in my book. Their WI-FI connection is decent, but it largely depends on just exactly where you're seated. Some tables get a better connection than others, so if your connection seems weak, just switch to the gallery's WI-FI and it will probably be fine. I've had to do that a couple of times and it's usually no problem, although I can see where it could be pretty frustrating. They're often open late, usually in tandem with ongoing events at the FIA. They have a "palette punch card" which entitles the bearer to a free beverage after ten purchases and FIA members always get 10% off their bill (20% on certain FIA member appreciation days).
