    Biscuits and gravy
    LeChele P.

    I heard a rumor that this place had cinnamon roll pancakes, naturally I had to check it out! The restaurant is mid-sized with a fair amount of seating to include a small belly-up station, diner style. Parking is abundant as it is located in a large plaza. We were greeted warmly and seated almost immediately and the service was attentive and friendly. We opted for the cinnamon roll pancake combo and the biscuits and gravy. Each were served with choice of potato and egg, the pancake combo also came with choice of meat. The portions were just enough and the flavors were very good! The sausage gravy was flavorful but needed a little doctoring with a few dashes of pepper. However, the cinnamon roll pancakes stole the show! The perfect balance of fluffiness and cinnamon roll yummy goodness! They are served buttered with a frosting drizzle, no need for syrup here! The home fries and eggs and bacon made the perfect accompaniment to balance out the sweetness. I think I will literally dream about these pancakes until I return for more!

    It is amazing. It takes a little bit to get the food and you might have to wait, but it is worth it.It looks beautiful. We were in a corner, but we were right next to a portrait.

    Muffin was yummy. French toast was amazing!! Home fries were very good too. Biscuits and gravy....was ok. I wouldn't order it again. They use some kind of shredded sausage. Service was good she was on it even though 2big tables came before me. Small little area but cute gives off cafe style.

    Sophie and Nolan were great !!!! Amazing breakfast before the game !

    The Brekky bowl was delicious. Gloria was working hard in the kitchen. Staff was so fun and super friendly.

    Great little spot! Emphasis on the little. Definitely be mindful if you are a group of 6 or larger, it will be a squeeze. The staff is small and hardworking. They were super kind. The place is busy and it's best to be patient when you come, maybe a little earlier on busy mornings. Food was all delicious and hot. Prices are crazy good for this economy. Their baked goods look fire as well.

    Breakfast is often referred to as the most important meal of the day. In many circumstances, it can also be the most delicious meal of the day. Be it a laid-back brunch, a protein-packed kick starter, or breakfast for dinner--count me in. I'm all in for an omelet, chicken and waffles, grits, and more strips of bacon than anyone should be proud of. Bring on Square One Breakfast & Bakery in the Hannah Plaza in East Lansing- an amiable and unassuming café with house-baked goods and a friendly staff. A short stroll from campus, this eatery hits the mark on flavor and convenience for the MSU community- where students, faculty, and families are welcomed. The house-baked items are a treat, but I wish there were more options available for takeaway. I'd love to be able to just pop in, grab a croissant or something sweeter with a cup of the Saugatuck roasted Uncommon Coffee and bound into my day. The Good Over the course of my visits, neither I nor my dining companions had a bad bite. The waitstaff and managers are all extremely kind, both with their effort and their personas. I could see a high level of rapport with the café's regular customers, but I could also feel the genuine care and appreciation for myself as a newbie. I was fortunate on one occasion to get the last available table, but while a busy floor would mean a dip in service, the Square One crew checked in regularly and were very attentive. On to the menu: The Spartan Feast included scrambled eggs, home fries, two choices of meat (bacon and chorizo for me) and biscuits and gravy (which I will return to shortly). The chorizo was marvelous- not too spicy, allowing the cumin and garlic to shine through. The eggs and bacon were cooked nicely, but I would've preferred the potatoes to be a bit crispier. My companion ordered the Wake n Bacon burrito packed with scrambled eggs, green onion, avocado, home fries, and plenty of bacon. This breakfast handheld isn't for the faint of heart- it is hearty, cheesy, and can be paired with a crispy hashbrown, similar to one found under the shiny arches in corporate land. The BLT was solid as well, offering a copious helping of bacon and fresh ingredients piled between two thick slices of toasted sourdough. The Better Any place with challah bread on the menu will automatically have my attention. One that uses the challah for French toast is striving for greatness and even more so when the toast is stuffed with a cream cheese filling and topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. It's sinfully good. The blueberry buttermilk pancakes are also very tasty, balancing the right amount of fruit without overbearing the fluffiness of the cake. Also, very good were the Maz Benedict with two of the scratch-made English muffins, which had the appropriate level of sponginess found in authentic muffins from my travels across the pond. The eggs were poached perfectly, the hollandaise light and flavorful, and the house-made sausage was good enough to order a third patty to share. The Best My friends, let me bring you in on a little secret, the biscuits and gravy at Square One are among the best I've ever eaten. Seriously, a colleague and I are still talking about them several days later, and I only offered them a single bite. First off, the biscuit (of which my companion had their own, served warm with honey) is outstanding. Perfect buttery morsels baked from scratch on-site, it was flaky and soft like those found in kitchens of generations of yore. Coupled with the gravy's chunky bits of savory goodness, the dish is rich and creamy with notes of sage and other aromatics. If only I could get a dozen biscuits to go, I absolutely would.

    Great little local place with excellent breakfasts. I order online and pick up to take to class. Never a problem, food is fresh, hot, tasty, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Go here! Eat good food!!

The people now serving there are not doing there job seriously and ruining my morning mood daily. I am liking the taste at all. I really asked if it's possible to do something for that, otherwise no problem there are more coffee places. I just really wish you guys could do better with that guy. Also one more incident I would like to share that the person now serving is literally not taking the job seriuosly becuse he gave me my coffee cup with the bigger lid which wasn's fit on the cup at all and that I wasn't aware of. When I drank my coffee it was all over me with that lid, so you can now understand what is happening. I am not very happy btw. Thanks though.

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.

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.
