Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home. Maybe a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The mezze platter was also quite nice, especially the carrot appetizer. The bulgur patties were also flavorful. The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.

The pesto tomato sandwich is one of the best sandwich I've had, easily the best sandwich in East Lansing. I never reviews, but I had to find a latte that compares in Chicago, which is saying a lot. Very nice people too.

Started coming here…read moreabout a year ago not even know how to pronounce "açaí" and haven't been able to stay away since. I have yet to find anything that was even close to being mediocre in flavor. Everything is delicious. All fresh and clean foods made and served by the amazing owner, Jess. I've heard that a lot of smoothie type restaurants are MLM and/or franchise based; Blend is NOT and is a true small business. Absolutely love this place and so glad I took the chance on something new and different.

The atmosphere was perfect and the teas and method of serving the tea was really unique (and came with great explanation of the process/method called Gong Fu Cha). We even got to meet Renaldo, the tea pet (you'll have to visit to learn all about the importance of the tea pet). With our tea we also enjoyed some really unique imported snacks including some preseevd sweet potato sticks and my personal favorite, which was milk-sesame flavored Oreos.

We walked in and I didn't feel comfortable being there. The service was fine. The prices were super expensive. A cup of coffee with flavor was $12.95. I end up trying the small Americano for 395. It was OK. Nothing to break about. Won't be coming back. The place itself was clean. I will say in the parking was convenient. And the location was convenient. There's a lot of tables for those who want to study here and there were people hanging out.

She took an idea of a coffee and made the most delicious and nutty pistachio latte! There are plenty places to sit and gather or work solo while smelling the amazing aromas of all the coffees. Located in a plaza, there is plenty of parking. They offer sandwiches and sweet treats as well, the baklava is homemade! To date, my fav place for coffee is my kitchen but Chateau will definitely see me often!
