I had no idea who was supposed to be our server until someone apologized for 'being inattentive'. So I guess it was the bartender? 2. I was served cold prime rib. After I sent it back someone came to me to ask me to 'just let them fix this one' by reheating. I'm aware that isn't going to go well, but I was so surprised at the audacity I felt obligated. It was fine, but definitely nothing to want ever again. Overall it was an incredibly disappointing experience.

I ordered the Hot Karl which is House Blended Sausage, Egg, Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Onions, and Green Peppers- on the house made biscuit. GOOD LORD! It's something about bell pepper and onions mixed into eggs, but with that biscuit, *chefs kiss. I had the hash browns which are like McDs patties, so get two. Patrick was our waiter and he was definitely friendly and gave some good recommendations. The restaurant itself reminded me of a diner. I will def be back here if Im ever in town again, but if I dont, I highly recommend you go back for me.

Took a little while for our server to come but she was very nice. After we put in our order the food came out very quick. We weren't super impressed by the food though unfortunately. I would skip the hashbrowns and get breakfast potatoes next time, the hashbrowns tasted like they were frozen before and not fully cooked /: Omlete and French toast were decent. It is also SUUUPER loud in there and it was really hard to hear each other.

I'm so glad we found it. The food was incredible, the service was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance is quiet yet energized with the buzz of a college town. I went with the classic eggs Benedict and couldn't pass on the potato cakes and a $5 Bloody Mary. I kid you not when I say that everything was perfect - all the way down to the smoky salt rimming the glass of the Bloody Mary. My wife went with a $5 mimosa as well as a bowl with some sort of delicious egg/veggie/potato mixture and ate it before I could snap a photo. Needless to say, we were very pleased and will be sure to come back the next time we are in town!

Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home. Maybe a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The mezze platter was also quite nice, especially the carrot appetizer. The bulgur patties were also flavorful. The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.

Very clean and everyone who worked there was so kind and eager to help with our table of 8. The chef/owner came out to chat about our friends adorable baby and gush about her new grandson. very precious interaction. The menu has OPTIONS and literally everything our party had looked amazing. I got the bed head BLT and the bacon was so thicc I want it every day of my life. The bread was hearty and a little more toasted than preferred, but better that than soggy. I think the crusty bread just made it harder to eat. (But we made it work HA! So yummy) the potatoes had so much flavor, rosemary which I loved but some of the kids in the party did not care for. My partner got the breakfast nook and it was pretty simple and tasty. The fruit and yogurt bowl was a hit and looked incredibly fresh. The naan plate also got good reviews. We would go back if we're ever randomly in Lansing again. Plus we love to support a woman owned business!
