You can tell they truly care about their space and their customers. The food? Absolutely incredible. Everything tasted fresh and homemade -- not just thrown together, but made with love.

Yes please We loved that they had options for smaller portions too -- perfect for kids or lighter appetites. It's completely family friendly, the staff is beyond kind, and the prices are more than fair for the quality and freshness you get. Hands down one of the best breakfast experiences we've had. 1,000% will be back on our next trip out. Highly recommend!

They have some picnic tables outside, inside is very limited, and as busy as they were, we got lucky. And they were busy! The line moved pretty fast, but with online orders, there was a bit of a wait. Their menu is short and focused. Panini sandwiches, wraps, salad, a soup of the day. I ordered The Millionaire Turkey. It was fantastic, maybe one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Real turkey, not lunch meat, the right sized slices, perfectly paired with just the right amount of garlic aioli and bacon jam. Served with chips and their equally good dill dip (is dill the ingredient of 2026 or just a TC thing?). While my sandwich deserves all the stars, my friends Caesar wrap, with added chicken, was a bit boring. It quickly fell apart. We also felt the soup, cheddar broccoli, was only fine. We were checked on by a woman who was either a manager or owner to make sure we were content. I will absolutely be returning for that sandwich!

Two of the current Top Chef contestants were previously chefs here before filming. They have a good sized uncovered outdoor patio, and more limited seating inside. The interior seating has a homey feel, the decor is simple Northern, Lake Michigan. The menu is short, but a good variety of options, I'm not sure how often it changes, as the entrees during our visit were a bit more substantial, suited for cooler weather. We had Ceasar salads, Mac and cheese, burrata, and Chicken Marsala. I also had their soup of the day, a beef chili, my favorite item we had. We thoughts the Ceasar was a standard good. The Mac and Cheese was a bit boring and dry. The Burrata was great, nice fresh tomato's. We also enjoyed the chicken. I had a flight of three of their wines, nicely presented. I thought both of the whites, first fruits, and the Gruner Veltliner, were very good. Gilchrist is relatively newer to the area wineries and a nice addition.

That was a total ripoff - should have had three more mini waffles added to her plate. My husband said something to the waitress about the size of the waffles but she only said yes that's the size.

We came in and planned to dine in, which surprised the staff greatly. The inside is not very polished, though they do have plenty of tables to eat at and cute Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles posters on the walls. I loved the local soda options in their machine, and our breadsticks and pizza were great. They also accommodated my mother's dietary restriction without any issue. Make sure to check out their specials before heading in - we were pleasantly surprised to find out that on Saturdays all specialty pizzas are 20% off!

This is a great lunch, salad, and or soup spot. It's counter service with self serve drinks. They do deliver the food to your table. We came on Thursday around 12:20 PM and it wasn't too busy. There is a great selection of sandwiches, including a vegan option. They also have an assortment of gluten-free products. We had the Horsin' Around roast beef sandwich, which came with Great Lakes potato chips, the Hummust Have wrap, which also came with chips. We ordered a bowl of the cream of mushroom soup, a cup of the tomato, basil soup, a coffee and soda. All were delicious. The hummus sandwich was more like a Greek salad in a wrap minus the cheese. I would've liked more hummus but then that would make a messy sandwich. The roast beef sandwich had a great flavor. The cream of mushroom soup was full of mushrooms and just needed a little salt for our liking. The tomato basil soup was good, but it tasted more like tomato sauce, heavy on the oregano for me. But again that's personal opinion. Customer service was excellent, the dining room and bathroom were both very clean. Lunch was a bit expensive at $40ish before tax and tip. We will be back. Make sure you stop in for breakfast or lunch when you're in the area!
