We stopped by on a recent weeknight, toward the end of chilly night for a pot of tea and a dessert! You can choose from any of their tea offerings for an in-house pot! We loved this option! They also offer single servings of all sort of teas and coffee drinks! They offer a quaint little area to enjoy your treats if you'd like to stay for a visit with a friend! There is also a nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice! The dessert case is truly something to behold - so many wonderful looking treats! We also saw a menu with some other food items available such as quiches or sandwiches. The staff were extremely helpful with all of our questions - very friendly and kind! Definitely recommend Chocolatea for a really nice experience that leaves you feeling like a valued customer! :)

BEYOND OUTSTANDING. Having over 50 years of high end dining experiences and working for an…read moreexclusive country club as catering sales and social director, I have high (some say unreasonably high) expectations as a patron of self proclaimed "fine dining" establishments. With that said...I was beyond impressed!! From my first phone call, to make a dinner reservation (on the day of) for a table of 5 for my birthday, through to the most delectable dessert (huge selection of fresh, pastry chef created desserts), the service, entrée, appetizer and martini was out of this world. And the ROLLS. Warm, soft and beyond delicious. When we looked online at the menu and saw the prices; at first it was a real "eye roll". WORTH EVERY CENT! Very generous portions for every course. The feedback I would offer on the haricot vert (green beans).is they were not just al dente but very hard to bite into. Fingerlings not flavorful and mostly tasteless. Minor details when looking at the total meal and experience. We asked that the lighting be dimmer and our amazing server, Taylor was pleasant and accommodating. In fact, every motion and explanation of menu items was kind, pleasant and professional. When she approached the table, she was respectful before speaking and did NOT just breeze by with an intrusive screech of "everything ok guys?". Frankly, we tip more when a server is available and not overbearing. She was a 5 star server! Offering to pack our leftovers for us in the kitchen with a note on the box stating what was inside and a "happy birthday" on mine. A lit candle came out on my HUGE portion of tiramisu. Then the remaining desserts came to thd table that were also very generous in size and better than the usual "homemade". Cheers to the pastry chef and ALL the chefs in the kitchen. And, most of all, to the owners that clearly are committed to quality and integrity. Knowing that our server has been in your employ for 14 years speaks volumes! If you (the reader) think that this fantastic experience is out of your budget...skip a couple Starbucks or fast food lunches and it won't take you long to save enough to enjoy a beautiful lunch or dinner at Four Roses.

Our waitress was very friendly greeted us offered us drinks, my husband got a beer and water for me. We looked over the menu and asked for recommendations. My husband ordered the big Lake breeze beef, and it came with a scoop of sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and green beans. The meat was so tender he could cut it with a fork and he licked the plate clean. I ordered the chili wrapped flank steak with Gorgonzola cream and jalapeño relish. I was asked if medium rare is OK for the steak, but when it did come out, it was more on the rare side. The jalapeño relish was not too spicy, the meal really was delicious. we can never visit without getting dessert! my husband ordered the peanut butter pie, it was a huge portion and he absolutely loved it. I ordered the ice packs lemon pie, which is more of a custard, and it came with the homemade whipped cream. It was very good. We can never leave without getting a piece of the traditional cheesecake to go. I couldn't believe how busy the restaurant was for Wednesday night. I was glad that we had a reservation. The service is always exceptional in the food is great highly recommend to anyone in the area.

I was excited to try their breakfast dishes because I was looking forward to some Costa Rican style dishes and was excited to see what their flavors were all about especially in this small little town. I ordered the tico sunrise bowl with an extra egg and avocado. When I got the bowl it looked very appealing. When I cut into the egg unfortunately it was a little overcooked so the yolk wasn't as runny as I would have liked. The dish overall was pretty bland and packed some flavor. Even with the chipotle cream which I was excited about the flavor just wasn't there. It tasted a little more like sour cream than chipotle to me. I did add some salt and Pepper to the dish which helped a bit. We ordered some of there homemade salsas hoping it would help but those too tasted very bland and packed any salt or seasonings. Maybe I was just hoping for some food with flavor but that's not their style of cooking? I did order their cafe Miel latte which was very delicious. I very much enjoyed sitting in the cute little cafe and drinking my coffee. I still give it at least 4 stars because it did have a nice little vibe inside and the staff was friendly and service was quick.

It's owned by a husband and wife duo and their offerings are absolutely delicious every time. Their sandwiches and pastries are my favorite. On sandwiches, the star of the show is their signature Herb Mayo (also known as crack mayo). Kathy (the owner) has been using the same tried-and-true recipe for years and it keeps people coming back... it's that good. I love the chicken club - chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato on a fresh croissant with that crack Mayo! Oh, it's so good. Pair it with one of their delicious homemade pastries and a luscious coffee or tea and it's a meal made in heaven. This place has a unique ambiance where you're surrounded by quirky art and a plentitude of thriving plants. To me, this is the perfect coffee shop and of all the ones I've ever visited in my lifetime, this one is my favorite.

The staff are always kind and welcoming, with warm smiles that add such a lovely touch to the experience. My absolute favorites are the Sleeping Bear Mocha and the Sleeping Bear Hot Chocolate , "truly signature drinks and honestly addictive!!" I keep coming back just for them, and I've never found anything quite like them anywhere else. Their food options are unique and always served warm when you order. I also adore that they offer tea pots when you order tea such a cozy, thoughtful detail that makes the experience feel extra special They have cute mugs and teas available for purchase, perfect for taking a little piece of the café home. Prices are similar to Starbucks, but the quality and atmosphere feel much more special. I love that they introduce seasonal drinks, right now they have a delicious mocha and a pecan drink that feel perfect for the season. They also serve chai lattes, which is very important to me wherever I go, and theirs is lovely. They even have an app that sometimes offers rewards and little perks, which is always a nice surprise. (My only wish is) that they extend their hours until 9 or 10 PM . it would make this cozy spot even more perfect. Overall, this is one of my favorite coffee spots. Warm, comforting, and always a pleasure I highly recommend it and they have my full yelpy support :)

We normally have a go-to spot in…read moreKalamazoo that makes delicious food, always on point and were really hoping for a new one to add to the rotation. We won't be back. I ordered the French toast and I swear to god, it was basically just toast. You can tell from the pictures how legitimately dry and bland it was. No flavor, not good at ALL. We always love breakfast potatos and those were pretty awful, too. Tasted like they microwaved yesterday's breakfast potatoes. They were dry and not flavorful, either. We hoped that the cinnamon roll would fix things, but it was pretty bad, too. Too much icing and the icing was the kind that basically just tastes like a cardboard box of powdered sugar and it was dry inside with not much cinnamon. As for the service and ambiance, the service was OK. We didn't see the waitress much but we didn't need much assistance and the vibe of the place gives like industrial fast service. Open ductwork, gray, garage feel. It's not a "cozy" place, per se. It was clean and there was plenty of space open. All in all this meal was so disappointing and we don't plan to give it another chance.
