The service was very kind and helpful, the atmosphere was homey, but sadly the food for both em and my wife was just a bit lacking. My wife loves biscuits and gravy but felt like hers were a bit over seasoned and far too much of an orange color and my parfait while delicious had a near inch thick honey well at the bottom which made finishing the insanely sweet dish nearly impossible. Maybe we just didn't get the luckiest day from the kitchen but at least we tried someplace new

The servers were very friendly and patient while we took our time ordering. I got something off the menu but I don't remember what it was. I know that it had lavender and vanilla in it. I will say, the reason for three stars is the coffee was SO SWEET. I usually like sweet coffee, but this was a little too much for me. If I go back I would probably order a normal latte instead of something off the menu, but if ultra sweet coffee drinks are your thing I'd definitely recommend.

We stopped in on our way north, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The sticky buns were out of this world--gooey, perfectly spiced, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And don't even get me started on the apple fritters--loaded with juicy apple chunks and just the right amount of sweetness. Pro tip: get here early, because the locals clearly know how good it is, and things sell out fast. Trust me, it's worth the drive!

They've got a huge produce section with local Michigan goodies, a great wine section, tons of breads including the infamous English muffin toast (Morat's bakery), meats, cheese and dairy, deli meats, cleaning supplies, household items, school supplies and other random things. They really do have it all and if you're looking for good food to cook while staying up in Whitehall or Montague, Montague Foods is well worth the stop! I was really excited to see they even had Sunbelt Bakery's chewy oats and honey granola bars and these 30 cal (low carb) wraps that I love!

Then the show goes sideways, no it sinks quickly with no hopes of recovery after trying on my side. For the record, the musicians on Friday were entertaining and filled the evening with good tunes. Store does live music Thursday night thru Sunday night. Slept on this review to try to be kind, even the song last night told me to be kind. Waited in line and watch some Barista Ninja make coffee orders and then vanished on our turn. Let's be honest to customers, if you are not the coffee maker warn them!!! Ordered and then he grabbed a bakery item from the chilled case, he was done with me. Then looked at me and said "anything else?". Yep, sure is, he just took my order and forgot, .... was just waiting on my drinks. Then had to tell him what drinks, he then read from a printed off instruction sheet like it was a calculus quiz. On 2nd drink he literally pulled an ice cold cup from the pastry case, which from my view I hoped it came from under it. NOPE. He handed me drinks and as I walked my knuckles were chilled by the cup. Hopeful, I asked husband to tell me if his was hot. NOPE, so mine was a iceberg and pretty sure he royally messed it up as it now is my worst latte in my life (100% coffee could not ever be worse). Yes, worst. I walked back, he looked at me like I was lost, told him they are cold. He stood firm on looking at me with no apologies and I said again they are cold. Still, a look of what you want me to do lady. I put my finger in my drink and said these are cold, just microwave them. They were busy and felt that was fair. Think microwave setting on my chilled cup was 15 seconds. I took them to the table and one sip and blah, chilly and worse latte ever, pretty sure it was 80% milk and a splash of flavoring. The tall male faux barista should be banned from the coffee area. *believe your customer *if you can't make something - don't *coffee cups should not be kept chilled *apologize when you get it wrong

We were also excited about the varied options for scones and baked goods. I was tempted by the cannolis, but decided on a cherry white chocolate scone and was blown away at the flavor and texture. Scones at other places are sometimes dry and crumbly but these were soft and so fresh tasting. I regret I didn't take any photos. You'll just have to go yourself to check it out!
