Everything looked fresh at 8:30 am on a Saturday. I had to get my usual King Cream Donut and my wife chose the caramel apple strussel waffle. Both tasted great! Also I chose the Korean milk iced coffee and she got the iced pumpkin strussel latte with oatmeal. As per usual, food is great! I feel like its slightly more expensive than the Niles location at H-Mart though but that might just be location difference. Also staff was great, efficient and quick with our order. A good place to visit!

A+ convenient location, and it's super cute inside. Also, if you download their app on your first visit you get a free pastry with purchase, so I definitely took advantage of that. The pastries are self serve, which is nice because it gives you time to browse. And my germaphobe self is actually okay with it because they give everyone new tongs and everything is. behind glass, so I love that. I got the strawberry croissant as my freebie, which was INCREDIBLE. Literally the best pastry I've ever had (and maybe even the best food I've ever had). Insane. I cannot wait to go try other options. I ordered a small (16 oz) iced blueberry oatmilk matcha, which is one of their seasonal drinks, and that was also delicious. The staff was friendly, the space is cute and large enough for folks to actually sit and hang out a bit if they don't want to get things to-go, and the prices aren't terrible considering what you get and the location. I will be back ASAP.

The dining area is lovely-framed art work, elegant tabletop lighting and enough space between tables so neighboring conversations stay where they belong-at that table. Superb service from a young lady who attends U of M. Enjoyed a glass of beautiful cava before tucking into Duck Confit. It was served with roasted small golden potatoes and salad topped with picked onions. For dessert, we split their delicious carrot cake. It's evident that all food is scratch made. Cake had crushed pineapple and no nuts (important for those who are sensitive). Hope to return when we are back in the Saugatauk area later this summer.

Grand Finale started off as a cafe and bistro and then started offering dinner service 3 years ago…read more The menu is well thought out, and has a good offering for the French theme they're going for. They have a wide selection of cocktails and a unique Chartreuse offering. We had a feature goat cheese and mushroom dip, a petite Caesar salad, a pork tenderloin, and beef brisket bourguignon. The dip was very cheesy and had no visible mushroom (or mushroom flavor for that matter), so was essentially a goat/parm/cream cheese dip with caramelized onions. Both of our mains were poorly cooked. The pork tenderloin was overdone, dry, with an undetectable coffee crust. The blueberry BBQ sauce was all blueberry. The beef brisket was tough and once you swallowed the sauce that it was slathered in was incredibly dry. The veggies it was served with were undercooked and included the chewy stems of mushrooms (also undercooked). Despite all of this, it is a cute spot and service is kind but they are understaffed.

They aren't nearly as big as Meijer's and perhaps don't carry 9 choices of beans, but I find their selection to be good and I've started buying their store brand "Our Family" and cannot tell the difference. They have a small deli and serve a lunch meal choice Mon- Fri. If I had a negative- it would be that their prices are a little higher but a small price to pay for cleanliness, helpfulness and just down home friendliness that you certainly don't find anywhere else ( if you can find anyone at all!) If you haven't shopped there you are missing out on a zen shopping experience that in this day's troubled world is worth it's weight in gold.

We arrived mid-late afternoon and the restaurant was not busy but by the time our food arrived, Village Baker was pretty busy. The menu is huge but the blackened grouper sandwich was what my wife and I both chose. I was surprised how good it was because every February almost my entire diet is fresh grouper or mahi mahi. The dish here was definitely a worthy contender. Our friends ordered a Rueben and the Baker's Wife Pizza. Everything look so good. Since there were many items I'd like to try, we definitely need to come back. Service-Excellent. On our way our, we stopped at the attached bakery.

Where have I been??? And I can't believe I am getting an FTR???!!! What an awesome start to my day! So there are so many awesome choices, tea, smoothies, shakes. A really nice space with a sizable bar to socialize. I spoke with the very gracious owner. She answered all our questions and even gave us reward cards and info on how to call in our orders. They open at 5 am!! This place keeps getting better and better. I soooo want to see this place succeed and do well. My only criticism is that that name would imply it's like a GNC or vitamin type place. Oh no, this a very sociable smoothie bar. So I asked, why is it not advertising and drawing more people in from the street? Well, I guess there are restrictions on advertising by the associated supplement supplier. What would Marcus Lemonis (The Profit) or John Taffer (Bar Rescue) say about this business? It needs a bigger presence, marketing and advertising. Follow up: They offer Apple Pay, yessssss....

Normally I get a sheet cake, but they didn't have any, so they told me they were giving me a 7 inch round When I picked it up, it was in a sealed box, so I didn't discover until I got home that the cake had a hard chocolate coating rather than just the plain buttercream frosting I had expected. When I called the store simply to understand what had happened, the woman I spoke with was argumentative and dismissive. She repeatedly told me that that cake "always comes that way" and that I "should have known." I explained that I had never received it that way before and had every reason to believe I was ordering the same traditional cake with buttercream frosting that I had purchased previously since that's what I had asked for in my phone conversation to order the cake. What was most disappointing was the complete lack of courtesy. I wasn't asking for a refund or anything for free--I simply wanted to understand why I had received something different from what I thought I had ordered. A simple, "I'm sorry there was a misunderstanding," would have been more than sufficient. Instead, what should have been a very simple conversation became unnecessarily unpleasant. The cake was disappointing, but the customer service was far worse.
