Great Chai latte and crepes…read more We stopped in here on vacation earlier this month. I was kind bummed that my favorite local coffee spot had closed up awhile back (RIP A Different Blend), but super excited to see this cute little tea shop located in the downtown shopping district. I spotted it by chance, but when I saw that East Tawas had an actual tea room, I was there in a flash. I dragged my husband out of the gift shop we were in and we headed over to check it out in person. I wasn't even all that hungry, but I was a bit thirsty and with my curiosity definitely peaked, I took a look inside. It looked every bit as friendly and inviting as one might expect a small town tea shop/cafe to be. It looked and felt every inch the indie tea house that it should be. My husband and I ordered two iced vanilla Chai lattes and some sweet crepes to split between us. Honestly, my latte tasted so delicious, very well-made with a nice, natural vanilla flavor. Whatever syrup they've using, it must be high-quality. My drink lacked the artificial aftertaste often found in inferior syrups (or ones that are past their freshness date). Overall, the latte was great and the service was relatively expedient, even though the person waiting on us seemed to be working alone. My husband doesn't even usually order Chai lattes because he's been burned a few times before when ordering them, as have I, but he was suitably impressed as well. The crepes were amazing, rich with fresh fruit and a nice whipped topping. The crepes themselves were excellent, and while rich and sweet, they weren't too sweet, either. They were some of the lightest crepes I've ever had. I would order them again in a second. While I wasn't that hungry, I was slightly annoyed that I decided to split the order of two crepes with my husband because they were so good. They were cheap, too- about $4.50 for two. I noticed the large selection of bubble teas that were on the menu. I happen to like bubble tea, but didn't try any while we were there. The list of flavors looked impressive. Maybe next time.

The 2 year old in our group was delighted by the candy and loved the chocolate covered raspberries. I was interested in the chocolate covered snacks they had - Pringles, potato chips, nuts, etc. - but the one that caught my eye quickest was the chocolate covered nacho cheese Doritos! I've never seen that anywhere else so we definitely had to try them. They were unique and not bad at all. I would've preferred a thinner layer of chocolate, and they were pricey for a small bag, but it was fun to try and gives us something to recreate at home if we want. Some people in our group commented on the customer service being a bit pushy and brusque, but I didn't really notice. The shop itself is packed full of different chocolates, gifts, and other candy and could get a bit crowded. They also serve coffee drinks. There are a couple of small tables inside but it's definitely more of a to-go spot.

This is a solid go to place from breakfast or lunch in Tawas…read more Clean, nice dining room. Service is always good here, fast and food is hot.

It pains me to leave a mere two-star review but I couldn't find much to like here. The quaint…read moreambience, friendly service (we were one of the first guests to arrive on a Friday morning mid-May) and fresh brewed decaf were the highlights. The food, which is most important, was a big disappointment. I am a cinnamon roll connoisseur and was so excited to try the rolls that past Yelpers raved about. They were out of caramel today so we ordered the grilled roll with pecans and homemade buttercream frosting. It looked dry and tasted even drier. Barely warm, flourey and tasteless. The frosting was the best part. The menu of choices looks wonderful and diverse for a small cafe. I was delighted to see shrimp and grits. The skillet was very small, the food was hot (a plus) but it was heavy on the grits, which lacked flavor and space on shrimp (only 4), sausage and sauce. I ate the toppings with half the grits and left the rest. My husband ordered the hoagie sandwich with hash browns. His comment was "a lot of bread and minimal filling" with "luke warm" hash browns that were more spongy than crispy. It's hard to go wrong with breakfast, but somehow Lazy Toaster has missed the mark. The concept is fun, the menu is great, yet the recipes and preparation could use some major improvements. The tab ($41 for two) was not bad, but was high for the quality. We liked the decor yet felt the cleanliness was lacking (sticky floors and no paper towels in the bathroom). A breakfast place in East Tawas is a plus; I hope this cafe commits to some improvements and stays around.

My husband, daughter, and I stopped in during the summer of 2020 because it looked like a cute shop. Not only were we followed around the store by who I presume were the owners, my husband was almost chastised for inquiring about a restroom. This year we decided to give it another chance because once again, it's a cute shop with cute items. I stopped to look at some of the beard products for my husband. I picked up a tin of beard balm, opened the UNSEALED lid to smell, and put it back. An older gentleman (the owner's husband per a young female employee) walked up to me out of nowhere and very condescendingly asked if I just broke the seal on the product and shook his head in disgust at me. I immediately went to find my husband and daughter to let them know we would be leaving. As I walked to the back of the store, the gentleman was speaking with a young female employee about me and what I had evidently just done to the product. I'm a grown woman who was raised with respect. Never would I ever pick up a product and intentionally damage it in any way just so I could smell it. I do not appreciate being treated this way as a customer and based on this place's Google reviews, a lot of other people don't appreciate it either. As a business owner, kindness goes a long way. Being rude, arrogant, and unpleasant is so off-putting and has just lost mine and countless friends/family member's business.
