    BLT and chips.

    Service was horrible. Waitress was so rude. The food was decent but the waitress just ruined the whole lunch. Every question was answered with a rude response. I will definitely not be back. Such a shame. Many people looking for a job and some don't appreciate the one they have.

    Forgot to get a pic of the exterior. Here's what went into my interior.

    I could not come up with a readable wordplay relating hole in the wall & Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. Clever is hard. Clippers Cafe is a hole in the wall. Just south of downtown Martin, it's an easy place to overlook, but as experience refines my snobbery, these little joints often offer fresh, simple, delicious food served on white plates set on scuffed wood laminate tables. The well used furniture shined, the trodden carpet was clean, restrooms also high mileage but sparkling. There's a chicken farm about 200 feet from Clippers. The staff told me they don't collect their own eggs daily but the golden, smooth scramble was so flavorful it must be fresh from the hens. The french toast was custardy but slightly charred for crunch, and the bread us house made. As was the oatmeal- not the paper mache paste most restaurants serve, but hardy, oaty and a huge serving. Friendly locals and hot coffee. Parking a cinch. Not far off southbound 131, an out of the way spot for chow.

    We tried to grab breakfast in Kalamazoo MI prior to getting to the airport. One hour. Another was 40 min. Oh heck let's see what is on the way. This was a quick on off from the freeway off the 55 exit. No wait. Friendly service. You could hear the conversation of all the locals and kids. A neighborhood place. My Greek omelet was good. The toast is homemade and there was apple butter on the table. My hubby had a ham n cheese breakfast sandwich which he enjoyed. My adult kids enjoyed their breakfasts (breakfast bowl and scrambled eggs). We also got a side of gravy. I'm a fan! Service was prompt and friendly. Thank you Clipper's!

    Great small town breakfast, great service. Exactly what I was looking for in a diner. Would 100% go back next time I'm in the area!

    I love my coffee, so when I travel, I always seek out a local roaster, and I am SO GLAD that I…read morefound Uncommon during my first visit to Lake Michigan! I'd come across them while doing my HW for the trip, but without really knowing the area, I'd thought that staying in South Haven meant I wouldn't get the chance to visit, but after stopping in to The Flying Saucer in South Haven and picking up their beans there for the house, I learned everything is kinda close on this part of the coast! This is their main location, right in the heart of Saugatuck. It's cozy and colorful, warm and inviting, and filled with some incredibly sweet people. Oh yeah. They have A LOT of great coffee too! Their specialty and seasonal drinks all sounded delicious, but I'm a purist in pursuit of the best cup of black coffee, here for the single origins and blends that are sourced and roasted by this skilled team. Walking in I was faced by a massive wall filled with beautiful bags of beans from all over the world, each labeled with notes on origin, processing and flavor profile. I set my sights on a pour over and when the cashier said I could choose anything from the wall, I was gobsmacked (that's a funny word). The range was so impressive, with great representation from all over the world, processed in all different ways, making the choice quite difficult. It's a good thing I used my time in line to look at all of the options, and I settled on a white honey processed coffee called Villa Sarchi, which was delightful. If I have one quibble it's that they didn't have an actual pour over menu and this is simply because I enjoy asking the baristas about the coffees. This spot is super hot, with a line out the door at all times, so despite the barista at the counter being incredibly accommodating, I couldn't in good conscience hold up the patrons behind me with too many questions or returns to the wall. I also tried their espresso lime tonic for a beverage to stroll with and enjoyed the slight sweet and tart drink very much on a hot day. Uncommon also has a great menu of food offerings and we had a bagel breakfast sandwich and one of their MASSIVE savory scones. I wish I'd asked or been asked about warming the scone because it definitely needed it, but holy hell this thing was packed with cheesy goodness and the perfect foil to my naturally sweet coffee. Normally I go home with one bag of coffee as a souvenir, but I couldn't help but buy two, which were in addition to the beans I also bought in South Haven! In total I think I sampled about 5 different Uncommon roasts and loved them all! I loved this place so much I looked to buy merch, but sadly they had run out of the sizes I needed. There's always next time. Or maybe they'll ship...

    Very much looks the part, but was left wanting a little more tbh…read more First off, vibes wise: amazing. Beautiful old house converted to a coffee shop with a dreamy garden in the back. Incredible. Coffee wise: fair. I ordered a few specialty summer cold brews for my wife and I and they were tiny, and my wife's was well-made with cold foam and cinnamon, but mine barely had a dollop (I gave her the good one, aren't I a nice husband?) I got a black coffee on my second visit and it wasn't very good. Service: friendly but slow. I was SO glad to have pitcher on pitcher of cold brew back at the AirBNB so I didn't have to wait. The times I came, this place was popping and it (expectedly) took some time. Hours: I was out for an early morning walk in the six o'clock am hour and several other middle-aged to elderly people were circling like vultures waiting for their caffeine fix. I feel like in peak season bumping hours to 6 or even 6:30 might do numbers for them. Food: I ordered a buttered bagel for my kids the first time in and it took a long, long time. I think they forgot about it. It appeared to be a grocery store style bagel and was ok. I'm telling you, this place looks beautiful and it's got great energy. It just so happened the business and the coffee on just a few visits didn't quite land. I would definitely encourage folks to try it out, it just missed the mark more than I was hoping for.

    The coffee was weak. Always a pet peeve of mine at a breakfast place. The eggs in the omelette I…read moreordered were rubbery. The cheese hadn't melted so the omelette hadn't been cooked properly. The bacon was plentiful and tasty though. The best part of the plate was the wheat toast. I think it was homemade. Still, I won't be back.

    You simply will not find a better breakfast in town…read more Wayland, Michigan is a small town in every regard and it's full of amazing people. The Auction House is quite literally all the best parts of Wayland, MI wrapped up in one dining experience. When you walk into this simple brick outbuilding of the livestock auction, you might be taken back by how tiny it is really is. About 20 seats wrapped around a U shaped counter. If all the seats are filled, just be patient and hang out by the door, something will open up soon. If you need seats together, it is not unusual to see a whole row of customers get up and shift their seats around to make room for you. That's just what you do because it's the right thing to do. Very Wayland. You'll also want to prepare yourself for small talk. When you sit at the counter, it's more like sitting at a giant dinner table in your kitchen at home. There's plenty of regular customers and it won't take long for you to become one yourself. Amy's food is outstanding and, trust me, you won't go hungry. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito, but people also go nuts for the HUGE pancakes and omelettes. Don't want a HUGE pancake? Ask for a little one...I dare you. See what happens. The burgers are also top notch. I love this place and the people who make it thrive. Belly up, and you will too!
