It wasn't bad, but not my favorite. I didn't love the specialty options, but the fruity loopy special was pretty good and tasted just like the cereal (although I wasn't expecting a green coffee) In terms of specialty coffee, I wish they had more staple espresso options (such as brown sugar or cinnamon) rather than fruity syrups (strawberry/peach). Everyone's taste is different, I'd still encourage to give it a try!

I cannot believe I never wrote a review for Otono because it's easily my favorite coffee shop in…read moreGR. I've been going since late 2022/early 2023, back when they were just a vintage shop (with a cute cat) at their old spot further down Division. I first came across them at a market and bought a shirt (still probably my favorite shirt in my collection) but at the time they were pretty under the radar, so I forgot the name. Almost a year later, an old friend complimented that same shirt, which led to me telling the whole story. I was like, "all I remember is they sold spoon rings," and said friend immediately goes, "sounds like Otono on Division." Ofc I went there that weekend, and sure enough, that was them. Been a fan ever since. At this point, a good chunk of my wardrobe is from them. It's been really cool seeing how much they've grown and evolved, especially with the addition of the café. I think it's such a hit and fits their vibe perfectly. The owners are also super personable and the staff are always kind. I added a few pics from past visits, but I definitely recommend checking them out. And if you get lucky, they sometimes have cookies and other treats from Cou Cou Bakehouse when there are leftovers from her pop-ups!

I got their Turkey Club sandwich and LOVED it. I had heard so much about this place so I was really…read morecurious to try out their food. Honestly, I am not a huge sandwich person, but if I heard a sandwich shop is good, I'll try it. The sandwich was cut in half and had their Michigan Turkey, bacon, avocado, and other veggies that you can read in their menu. The turkey was really delicious - like, really, REALLY delicious. It was so flavorful and soft. And the veggies like avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce tasted so fresh. I got it with sourdough bread, which was really good. It was a bit tough to put the whole sandwich in your mouth because of the crusty crusts (lol), so I just resorted to eating it with a fork and a knife (very proper). The food came out rather quickly, and the service was very sweet, friendly and down to earth. Ambience was great! Casual and friendly. There is street parking - usually, it's not too difficult to find parking around this area. But maybe I just get lucky, I don't know. If it's a good day, you can walk around and enjoy the scene with the river and park!

Portion of meat and vegg in the chicken gyro was awesome, let me just say that right off the bat…read more Otherwise this gyro doesn't stand out. There was not much flavor to it and it was incredibly water-runny (and flavored). This wateriness was probably due to the fresh lettuce and diced tomatoes. I thought that maybe the tzatziki sauce might add some flavor, but again was underwhelmed by a lack of flavor. Consistency, however, was good - it wasn't too thick and wasn't watery. For $13+, it would've been nice to have something that was more flavorful, but portion wise I'd say it was worth it.

I usually start with a bunch of photos, but I was…read moretoo preoccupied with taking in the charming ambiance, the veteran-created art pieces, the photos and stories all around honoring the legacy of the heroes who have served their nation, and getting to meet the interesting people inside. I realize the tiny structure is perfect for what this place is all about - honoring the stories each of us holds through connection and community. The coffee was smooth and flavorful, possibly the best drip coffee I've ever had (and I have had some really good coffee!) and I'm told by my wife that the chai was absolutely delightful. A small menu of drinks and treats may make this spot slip off of your radar - but you would be missing out on a magical little place that, as the name implies, truly has heart... and plenty of it.
