I've been wanting to try this place since they opened, as I drive past it a few times a week. This…read moreis a new cafe on the corner of Auburn and Livernois roads in Rochester Hills, MI. This is part of a multi-use group of buildings and they seem to have the prime spot right at the corner. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a clean and pleasant space with high ceilings and green and gold decor. It's all new and there is a variety of seating types. I chose to sit at a small table near the side entrance. They have so many great food and beverage options, it was hard to choose. The nice young lady who took my order was very patient with me - I had lots of questions being my first time here. I ended up with a Mocha Pearls drink, Nutella Dubai Baklava, and an Almond Croissant. The drink was supposed to have chocolate pearls in it but I suppose since I ordered it hot, they melted. It basically tasted like a chocolate mocha so I would like to come back and try something different next time. The baklava sent me to the moon and back - I love chocolate baklava and it's hard to come by. Add the "Dubai" crunch kataifi with pistachio and I'm done! It was amazing! The Croissant was served warm and it had an almond paste inside. Soooo fresh and good! I love the attention to details and the care they took to serve everything so visually appealing. I appreciate that added touch. I will be back - and likely often!

I want to love this coffee shop so much since I live nearby, I've been twice and will probably try…read moreit a third time to attempt to find something I like. In all fairness, I'm probably not the target market here - they have a huge drink menu with lots of different syrups and flavorings but I'm more of a no frills coffee person. The first time I got a plain latte and it was just ok, so this time I tried one of their specialties - the Mont Cloud. I assumed it would be mostly coffee and some cream but I guess it was a cloudy day because it was mostly cream (and ice) for $7. I also decided to try the basbusa because I've never had it before, but again ended not being up my alley since it's syrup-soaked. Oh well. The inside is decorated really cute and there's lots of different kinds of seating. They also have an outdoor patio area. Free parking since this coffee shop is located in a little strip mall. 3.5 stars overall.

So many things on the breakfast menu sounded good, but we went with the overnight oats, the street corn hash from the specials menu, and I had to try the iced pistachio latte. We enjoyed every bite and sip out on the lovely patio. The coffee was not acidic at all (thank you) and not overly sweet. Parking is available across the street in the Peabody parking garage.

I've eaten here several times over the years and I've always have had a delicious meal. On my last…read moretrip I had their chicken salad with their tasty lemon vinaigrette. That dressing is to die for! They serve their complimentary consommé along with the star of the show, their popover with strawberry butter. It's very chill in there and the service is good too. The only thing that makes me hesitate giving them a 5 is their prices, but everything is expensive these days... so a 4.5

In addition to sourdough bread, they have an assortment of baked goods (scones, cookies, etc.) and coffee/tea. Do yourself a favor for the baked goods and warm them up - it makes a WORLD of difference. I didn't think I really liked their chocolate chip cookie until I warmed it up and it changed everything. I've also tried their rosemary focaccia, which was incredible. Their cranberry walnut loaf was good but not my favorite. And the brownie is just heavenly. Looking forward to trying more of their offerings! Just remember to bring cash for a 3% discount :)

I love a good bakery, and I'm so glad Metro Detroit (in particularly Troy) has an artisan bread spot like this. I wanted to try it before I left the area, so my high school friend and I checked it out during our lunch break earlier this week. After we got out of the car, parked a few spots away from the bakery, I could smell the freshly baked, yeasty aroma which got me even more excited. The interior is small and simple, but there's a variety of sourdough options (see menu attached), focaccias, and pastries. On the right side, there's also granolas and teas for sale, along with samples of the hibiscus tea which was refreshing. "E. BAGEL" SOURDOUGH - 13 My dad likes bread and eats a couple slices raw for breakfast everyday, so I figured he might like the "everything but the bagel" option. It was nutty, but also fluffy and bouncy. I don't get the appeal of eating bread on its own; if it were up to me, I would enjoy this with some toppings like avocado and tomato. LEMON + BLUEBERRY SCONE - 4.50 I didn't really want to try any of the scones because the amount of glaze drizzled on top made me think it was going to be way too sweet. My high school friend bought me one to try, and it was actually not sweet at all! The scone was nutty, lightly sweetened by the lemon glaze that wasn't even that sweet. I love the combination of lemon and blueberry. This is different than other scones I've had! CHOCOLATE + ORANGE MUFFIN - 5 Good and also not too sweet. This leans more chocolate tasting than orange, which is a bit subtle. It didn't taste overly fatty either, which aren't most muffins! Pretty solid, but I enjoyed the scone more. I really liked the sourdough and pastries from Sourdough Ida. I'm excited to get more of the scones in future visits!

What a difference a year makes! Came back to the Troy, MI location to give it another try. It was…read morefairly busy so we had to wait. We forgot to get on the wait list early but it wasn't too long of a wait. The restaurant is bright and airy which makes it a pleasant atmosphere. They had their Seasonal Summer Menu available so we ordered from that. I got the Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich and hubby got the Chipotle Steak and Queso Hash. We also both got regular coffee. They offer both regular and vanilla flavored creamer for their coffee. I appreciate that because I love vanilla flavoring. The coffee was really good - smooth and flavorful without being bitter. My sandwich was also packed with flavors...their signature Million Dollar Bacon, sausage, egg (any style you want!), Gruyère cheese, hot honey, and greens - all on an English muffin. This was so good! The honey was not too spicy which made it the perfect addition of sweet and heat to the savory sandwich. Hubby really liked his dish as well. This was a complete 180 from our last visit. Don't sleep on this special menu! We also had a great server - her mom works there as well and they made a great team together!

Their matcha here isn't even comparable to any of the spots in California. You are being scammed. Too much milk. Not enough matcha. No earthiness to their matcha. Just tastes like sweetened milk with bits of grassiness if I am being completely honest. To top it off, the customer service is terrible here. The barista couldn't even be bothered to smile or ask how you are doing. Almost felt like an inconvenience ordering from her. Ordered my drink for dine-in and I would rather just grab my drink myself than watch them set it down haphazardly on the tables.
