Things to do along I-75 N/S to and from the Detroit area (1 of 2)…read more I had to spend a few days in the Detroit area and I-75, featured in black and white on Eminem's excellent Super Bowl commercial, is the route on which I'd be driving. I have become increasingly tired of Starbucks, but less so of other chain coffeehouses. That said, I always seek out the independent coffeehouses. Mostly, I was sold on the name (Rustbelt) of this coffeehouse in Downtown Toledo, just a few blocks from the small cluster of downtown mid-rises. Inside, it has the open floor plan with exposed ceilings up above, which works very well here and fits the industrial Rust Belt mood. The seating options were to my liking: big butcher block type tables meant to be shared, smaller tables, and upholstered seating with coffee tables. I wish I could have stayed at Rustbelt longer. It was a warm and humid summer day and I had an iced tea and a pastry. The items were tasty. The pricing was fair and the service was unremarkable, but did lean toward being good natured. Parking is available right in front along the street, should you want to keep an eye on your car. That said, I couldn't get a read on the location ... it seemed that there were other eateries and bars nearby, so maybe that meant it was okay. Also, I couldn't figure out where the customer base came from. Usually, bohemian coffeehouses have bohemian enclaves nearby where the bohemian people live. I didn't see any, or maybe I didn't look long enough. I couldn't imagine them being suburbanites. Lastly, I believe I've always seen Rust Belt spelled as two words. If they want to stylize this and go with one word, that's their prerogative. So, what you have here at Rustbelt Coffee are good tea/coffee with pastries to choose from, fair prices, decent service, and a spacious open interior plan where the climate control system was working very well. That sounds like 4 stars to me.

A fabulous breakfast and the perfect size for one person. We also got the brussel sprout sweet potato hash, which also comes hot and in an adorable little bowl (all their dishes are eclectic and cute). Also great, altho I added a little salt to mine. We also ordered mochas, half sweet, which were delicious. All in all, a great selection of items that I would come back and order again in a heartbeat. Service was so friendly, informative and accommodating. Everything came out quickly, there was excellent communication and they checked on us throughout. These are really kind people who definitely care about the quality of their food.

Half the fun was leaving mom and little brother at home and getting an hour with dad by ourselves. We made it a point to go to a special spot across town driving by others to get the best plain glazed donut or jelly filled still warm from the oven. Imagine my surprise when I stopped into Cafe Donuts and was immediately transported back to my youth and breathed in that smell from 40+ years ago! Looking at all those different donuts had me feeling like a boy again. The wife and I got a dozen. Cream filled, raspberry filled, chocolate, and of course, a few plain glazed just for me! The young lady behind the counter was patient as we kept asking what was that one and that one and... I'm not going to lie, it was torture to smell those donuts in the car on the drive home! I've been back again and again for of a few reasons. First of all, the donuts were delicious. Moist and chewy, with a good recipe. You can tell when places cut corners or use cheap ingredients. The icing is perfect and the fillings are good. I think they have the best cream filling I've ever had. The staff have always been good to us, too. I appreciate the half off dozens but frankly don't mind paying full price for anything as long as the quality is there. All those pretty little donuts on display in the shop takes me back and I can't wait to sneak away on a Saturday morning with my newest granddaughter for a couple of glazed and some milk and to spend an hour or so enjoying the simple things.
