Drove to Au Gres at 8 this morning to make a "doughnut run" for the granddaughter and neighbor…read morekids. Walked into the entry lobby/baked good take out area and found one dark display case with barely any doughnuts and empty trays. They'd been open for over an hour and no fresh doughnuts were out- it wasn't because they were sold out. It just was a depressing display. I really wanted to support them, but, here it is, Fourth of July tourist time, and they came across as just not caring. Off to Tawas. A dedicated bakery in Au Gres should be displaying their wares and tradition. They look to be happy with just getting by and letting the Walmart and Neiman's in Tawas sell the baked goods.

The weekly changing lunch menu has some outstanding dishes. Last week I enjoyed the Cajun bean soup on a cold day. The spicy warmth hit the spot. Had the delicious Cowboy Cobb salad today. Flavor mixture was great. I would have liked a few more bites of that moist chicken but the mixture of guacolmoli, beans, and spices was well done. Yum! And the staff ar friendly. I also like the points for shopping there. I get an occasional free cookie and such. Keep it up!

As a family ran business the owner focuses on quality of food and great service! The quaint, and quintessential "norman" like atmosphere, you get as you walk in. there is a smile and a heart-filled greeting waiting to making feel like home. I was taken back by everything it was an amazing experience! I know saying this about a restaurant is a little off. BUT I was having a bit of a bad day driving back home to Indiana, like a 5 hr drive.. And I got hungry seeing a sign out front and sick of fast food I stopped for a bite. As I said before, they greeted me with a smile and a warm hello.. Giving me a tall glass of lemonade started making my bad day better.. The food I ordered was outstanding. Fresh veggies and homemade hamburger seasoned just perfect. "With homemade battered mushrooms" Was truly a great experience.. I could not ask for anything more.. This is a must stop or even worth the drive to get to it! Made me feel like I was at the family's house I do like! "LMAO"

Coffee is still garbage. Decided to try it again because…read morewe're walking back from the beach. The "regulars" to this place must really NOT know what coffee is. When you order a latte or something similar here, you basically get a "beverage" that's mostly your creamer of choice and an ever so slight hint of coffee. Again... Gas station coffee is better and higher quality than what you get here. All these 2+ star reviews are just liars. Unless this place gets replaced or new owners who KNOW how to make coffee take over, this place is just pointless for coffee.

He made me feel like I was an absolute bother to him! He didn't want to clean anything up for stew meat. Older man, heavier set, Grey hair. I apologized for asking, to have the meat tenderized. Then as I turned to walk away, he said he could do it. If I wanted done! I stated, I think it would be an inconvenience for you. I'll be fine. I took the meat home and tenderized it myself.

We were visiting downtown Midland and the Tridge when we came upon Iron Dame. A…read moreFrench-European-style bakery in a small city? Not something that you see too often so we decided to stop by to take a look. It was within an hour of them closing and unfortunately many of the pastries were already sold out. Still, they had a couple of croissants that looked absolutely delicious and we couldn't resist picking some up. In addition to pastries, they also sell coffee and, interestingly enough, milk tea and boba (popping type only I think). I can easily imagine sitting outside, sipping on a drink and nibbling on a pastry. Raspberry Vol au Vent ($5) - Woah, just look at those layers on this pastry. So well defined with crisp, buttery puff pastry layers that are easy to pull apart. This one is filled with a raspberry jam and adorned with a single fresh raspberry in the center. They don't skimp on the jam here - it's absolutely loaded up. The jam is tangy, sweet, and delicious. It's filled with fresh and crunchy raspberry seeds and a brightness that is welcome. (5/5) Bacon & Havarti Croissant ($6) - Other places might put a single thin slice of bacon and cheese inside - Iron Dame fills it chock full with meat and cheese. Salty, savory, umami, everything you could want from a savory croissant. Since there's so much filling, it compresses the croissant dough along the edges making it chewier and more bready, yet still retaining a bit of flakiness. (5/5) Pain Au Chocolat ($5) - The lamination on this pastry isn't nearly as good - the layers are on the thicker side with smaller air bubbles. Definitely more bready than flaky. I'm not sure what happened to this pastry - the pictures on their website shows very well defined layers but this one was anything but. Two batons of chocolate are inserted inside, giving sweetness and richness. I wasn't able to eat this until the following day - since I couldn't eat it fresh, I won't include it in my overall rating. This particular pastry is something around a 3/5 though. It looks like they don't have a set menu (at least not what I can see from their website), so I would definitely drop by with an open mind to see what they are offering that day! I would come here again if I lived in Midland or if I was in the area. Yum! Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Overall rating of the food this visit: 5/5
