Coffee is single-origin with other organic and/or bird friendly beans as well. The chocolate chip gooey donut was divine. The ganache dripping around the sides made for a gooey delectable treat. Fabulous it was. The owners obviously care about their products and what they produce and present to the local community. This is a coffee shop done right. Good for them.

Food is great and made to order ! We split the turkey avocado club on sourdough which was very…read morefresh we also split the buffalo ranch melt . It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

I hate to give a bad review but I also hate the idea of NOT giving one at all because the service…read morewasn't up to par and I don't wanna complain. However... Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.

THE. MOST. DELICIOUS. PASTRIES. EVER…read more On our roadtrip, we stopped at the Crooked Tree looking for a local coffee shop. What greeted us was the most delightful case of pastries and loaves of breads. This is a bakery with no seating. Looks to be a large operation that might deliver breads and baked goods locally. There is a bread case, a pastry case, and lots of merch. A very patient young lady was working the counter on the morning we stopped. It took me a while to decide because I wanted one of everything, but had no business doing that! She patiently and quietly waited. Finally, I settled on a ham and cheese croissant and a cherry and white chocolate scone. My husband had a raspberry danish. I did get a drip coffee in the end. The ham and cheese croissant was crisp and flaky with the perfect balance of hame and gruyere. I have not had a scone this good. Ever. Not even in Ireland! If you "do not like scones," these are worth the try! We snacked on the pastries in the car so along with Lake Michigan sand, my car now has lots of flakes of our delicious pastries. Like sand, it's impossible not to leave remnants of the goodness behind. Tip: if you are not local, buy more than you need!! I wish I had.

My favorite crepe is the buckwheat with spinach, feta, mushrooms (and sometimes egg). Omg to DIE for. The employees are friendly and helpful in suggesting something if you're unsure. You will not regret going here, just make sure to check the hours before heading their way! They do have indoor seating as well as outdoor. They take Apple Pay, cash or card.

Their handmade bakery goods and other goodies are made fresh daily, sometimes hourly, are always delicious and you can tell they take great pride in only offering the very best they can. We have ordered 'Yule log' otherwise known as 'Bûche de Noël', Christmas cake several times, including this year & they are always delicious and very well received by our Christmas guests! They use locally sourced ingredients where they can and always seem to have a lively, fun, yet relaxed atmosphere of locals and seasonal guests either stopping by for an excellent cop of coffee & a treat or maybe lingering for a while enjoy a breakfast treat or sandwich and while hopping onto the Internet to check of email via their Wi-Fi network. You are always greeted with a friendly 'Welcome' or 'Hello, we'll be right with you.' if they are busy and you always feel welcome even if it's your first time! We loved everything we've tried including their artesian breads, pastries, cookies, Pecan Rolls (so good when they've just come out of the oven!!) as well as their made-to-order cakes, which are amazing!! Highly recommended & we love supporting locally owned & operated businesses & this one is definitely worth supporting!

Staff was attentive and pleasant, and guests were engaged in animated, quiet conversation at their tables. The breakfast sandwiches are phenomenal--see photos for their names and to make your mouth water. I forgot to take a photo of the Dutch baby pancake. Mine was good and the fruit fresh, but if I had a do-over, I'd order a sandwich with potatoes instead because those are some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had--perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. My daughter's Dutch baby was sitting in a pool of grease and should have been sent back, but she didn't say anything because she thought it was normal, and by then it was too late. That was the only bummer. It is very small inside, but miraculously we did not have a wait for seven people. You can just pop in for a baked good from their display case or order carryout if you don't have time to sit for breakfast. I encourage you to check Small Batch out!

Breakfast potatoes were AMAZING. downsides: Coke was $4. Syrup was not real maple syrup but the artificial kind, you'd expect real maple syrup at a fancy place like this, strawberries in the Dutch baby still had leaves on them. There are some needless rules that one might consider bad customer service (ex. Heard another table ask if they could get the eggs on the side of their dish instead of on top, server stated "she won't deconstruct it you'll have to remove the eggs yourself")
