I was looking for a local sandwich shop and was referred to the "orange building in town," which turned out to be Holly Cafe. For dine-in service, simply take a seat and a staff member will bring a menu and take your drink order. The menu offers a great selection of sandwiches, salads, desserts, coffee drinks, and even mixed cocktails. I ordered the recommended cranberry turkey sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and served with a crisp dill pickle. I also enjoyed a cup of beef barley soup with a small piece of French baguette. Both were excellent. Soft drinks are served in 12-ounce cans, so there are no refills. Service was friendly and prompt, and my food arrived quickly. Before leaving, I picked up a three-pack of chocolate chip cookies, which were delicious. The atmosphere is one of the cafe's strongest features. The nostalgic diner-style interior combines standard and high-top seating, creating a comfortable and inviting space. Large front windows fill the restaurant with natural light and provide a pleasant view of downtown Holly's activity, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a leisurely lunch. There is one clean unisex restroom available. The cafe also offers daily specials and sandwich, chip, and drink combos, although I overlooked this option on the menu and it was not mentioned during my visit. Prices are competitive overall, though I felt the soup prices were a little high. That said, the quality of the food, welcoming atmosphere, and efficient service make this a place I would happily recommend and visit again. read more

The absolute best! I am not a sandwich kinda girly, but this place completely changed me. Their soups are AMAZING! The mulligatawny is hands down the best soup I have ever had in my life. I don't even like mushrooms and are a whole bowl of their mushroom barley. The only one that I'm not a huge fan of is their tomato Florentine. Buffalo chicken soup is so good and has a blue cheese flavor to it. Potato leek is amazing. All SO GOOD! For a sandwich I always get the cranberry turkey. Good portion sizes (not huge as it's just a little lunch spot, but I never leave hungry)! Always had a great experience with staff, too. read more

Nice little cafe in Downtown Holly. Menu is centered around, sandwiches, homemade soups and salads for the most part with a fairly diverse selection to choose from that will cover most palletes. Sandwiches are good sized and the soups are very generous proportion where a cup should be enough for most folks. For our first meal here we had a Chicken Wrap, Turkey Brie, Beef Steak Chile, and house made potato chips. All the food was quite tasty and I would definately recommend getting the house made potato chips if you go the sandwich route as they were especially good. Relative to staff and facility, they were very friendly and welcoming where the restaurant itself offered a small town comfortable setting to enjoy your meal in. Also to note, there is nice outside dining option if the weather is nice. Overall good food at a reasonable price is enough to ensure I will be back at this business. If you are in downtown Holly and looking for a lunch spot you really cant go go wrong with this business in my opinion. read more

We USED TO LOVE IT, the last few visits were mediocre at best, the staff seemed confused, the computers ?? But the food has changed, my wife's Club Sandwich looked like 2 buns, hardly anything inside, my chicken salad was the same, very little chicken or anything else?? I seldom get to go out to eat with my family , when I do I expect QUALITY. Not mediocre everything.... No bueno read more

Soups are very good and the fresh baguettes are a great concept for a sandwich roll. The service always spit on

My husband and I stopped here for a quick lunch while we were in between meetings at our wedding venue. The service was a little slow given there weren't many customers and the waitress did get my special request to my order wrong... But overall the food was tasty! I got the turkey cranberry sandwich which was small but I thoroughly enjoyed and my husband got the club. The bread on the club was delicious! A little heavy so if your hungry or I would say it's a good pick. We would probably grab a sandwich here again if we were in a hurry. read more

I have been to the Holly Cafe 3 times now and have been so impressed each time. Their soups and sandwiches are very well balanced and fresh! This most recent visit I had the basil chicken and dumpling soup and a chicken bacon sandwich special. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area for lunch. read more

Lots of good soups and sandwich combinations. Plus you can buy some fresh bread to go!

Always ALWAYS amazing! They have the most incredible soups! We order lunch several times a month and I've never been disappointed.

I went at lunchtime and waited for 20-25 minutes. But it was worth it. I had a 8 and my friend had a 3 and they were awesome. First timer read more

Pretty perfect little cafe with a few petite tables on the sidewalk. Indoor and door seating. Croissants, Zingermans bread, coffee and pastries. Watch the trains go by. For a minute I wasn't in Michigan any more. Nice pleasant place. Good vibes inside. read more

Very good service, very friendly people. Super yummy! Affordable and great ambiance. Definitely recommend stopping by!

Have you ever gone into a restaurant and gotten the impression that a waitress hated you for no apparent reason? That was our experience today and I literally have no idea why. We waited patiently (20 minutes) for a group to leave so that we could be seated. And as she wiped the table in front of us, she said she was giving it to another family (who came in after us). Okay, that was weird. We waited another 5 minutes awkwardly standing in the middle of the restaurant, and then got another table. There were 5 of us and only 4 chairs. When I asked if we could get another chair an employee with dyed red hair said, and I quote, "Well I don't have a stockpile of them lying around." I gently pointed out an unused chair at another table, to which she acknowledged it and then walked away in the other direction. I stood and waited as the 4 others sat. Our waitress (a different lady) got one for me a minute later. I won't point out every detail of the absolute rudeness that we experienced, but I will say it was unpleasant and honestly quite shocking. I will add that the food, however, was delicious. I had the butternut squash soup and cranberry turkey sandwich. The portion was perfect and filling. read more

Fresh food and good service. Delicious pastries. Love the retro toys and kitchen items.

This is an adorable place for lunch and I'll definitely be back. I had the potato, Swiss, and bacon soup with a half turkey and Brie sandwich. Oh my goodness was it delicious. My daughter had the Philly cheesesteak and loved it. Our waitress made us feel like old friends. I've found my new favorite lunch spot! read more

1st time I was here we got the Cuban and a chicken avocado sandwich. Both were really tasty. 2nd time my husband went for the Cuban again but I tried the ultimate grilled cheese with avocado, bacon, tomato and cheese and it was really good as well but I had sandwich envy of my husband's Cuban. I guess I just wanted something a tad more substantial that day. Will be back to try more. read more

After a tearful ceremony at the nearby Great Lakes National Ceremony to bury my father-in-law, our large family decided to give this place a try based upon the reviews. It did not disappoint! The DBC sandwich was outstanding! Everyone loved what they ordered, and the service was great! Family atmosphere, and the people are very friendly. read more

The patio was the perfect spot to spend a summer evening. The overstuffed pulled pork tacos with pineapple salsa was soo good! It was a refreshing take and very flavorful. Mushroom risotto was on special and we were expecting a basic risotto. It was seasoned very well and great consistency. Honestly, the best risotto I've ever had. Nutella strawberry crepes was a good choice to end our meal. Service was also attentive. We look forward to returning!! read more

We came for lunch. They had nice selection of sandwiches and salads. The soup of the day was Mushroom. Tomato basil and Chili was also available. We opted for the soup and 1/2 sandwich combo. My friend ordered the pastrami reuben and I chose the cranberry turkey. We both ordered the mushroom soup. The food was wonderful. The mushroom soup was really flavorful. My turkey sandwich was delicious, turkey was real not lunch meat. The cream cheese spread and cranberry combined to make a Not your run of the mill sandwich. Ordered raspberry white chocolate scone. It was tender not crumbly. The decor was retro with old time Formica kitchen tables and toasters. Nice and clean and friendly owners. Great place you owe it to yourself to check it out! read more

Delicious soups and sandwiches. Everyone at the Cafe is extremely inviting and friendly!! I would highly recommend this to all of my friends and family. They even do the special foods on The Holly Vault Patio in the summers and it's soooo good!! read more

We stopped in on our way up north. The food and service were exceptional. Very fresh ingredients. The soups were both amazing (tomato and mushroom) as well as the salads and sandwiches. We will come back. read more

I have purchased bread here twice. Nice, fresh, whole wheat or malted barley sliced bread. I am confused as to whether it is Holly Café or Davisburg Bread Company. I ate one lunch here. The chicken gumbo soup was not chicken gumbo, but a creamy chicken soup. I understand the bread is no longer made on site, but is Zingerman's bread out of Ann Arbor. I have not purchased bread here since they stopped baking it on site. read more
