    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!

Upon arriving in the small town of Concord (population 1,200) after the first 11 miles, we were thrilled to see the breakfast cafe on Main Street open for business. My wife and I have been loyal customers of this little cafe when bike riding through Concord over the past 10 years. During that period, it was known by two other names: the Silver Spoon Cafe and the Concord Cafe. Unfortunately, like so many small restaurants, this eatery closed its doors during the year of the pandemic. Riding up today, we noticed the familiar purple awning on Main Street still proclaims "The Concord Cafe". However, after changing hands and getting an interior facelift, it re-opened 30 days ago (May of 2021) as Mel's Place! After walking in the door, we quickly met the new owner Mel...short for Melinda. We enjoyed chatting with her about the renovation she did in exposing the hundred year-old brick in the minimalist and spotless dining room. We then got down to business ordering a pair of Veggie Omelettes with sliced tomatoes and raisin toast while nursing our fresh brewed cups of hot coffee. Our breakfasts at Mel's were spectacular...just like they had been over the years when we had patronized this small business under previous owners. For this Yelper, a delicious breakfast halfway through a 22-mile bike ride is a great motivator. Based on the excellent quality food and friendly small-town service, I expect Mel's Place to quickly build a solid reputation among the many recreational bikers that frequent the Falling Waters Trail. Five stars all day long.

    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!

    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.
