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.

I tried Hudson's Place for the birthday cake latte and it was fantastic. The latte itself was…read moredelicious, but the cold foam really made the drink. The flavor was so good that I could easily see myself wanting it every day. That said, it's definitely on the expensive side for a latte. I'd get it again as a special treat, but it's not something I could get regularly. The space is cute and modern, but it's definitely more of a grab-and-go type of spot. It's a small space with very limited seating and it gets pretty crowded, which is understandable given how popular it seems to be. Because of that, it's not really a place where you'd want to settle in to work or hang out for a while. The only seating available is a small counter by the window with a few stools, and the shop can feel a bit hectic when you first walk in. One thing I also appreciated was the bathroom. It was very nice, clean, and private, which is always a plus. Note: They start serving lunch (sandwiches, pizza) at 11:00 am.

Been wanting to try this place for a while! They just dropped their fall menu so I got the Tiramisu…read morelatte with mascarpone whip and it was amazing. The whip brings the whole drink together.

Upon arriving, it took a little while before anyone came over to help us, but once we made it to…read morethe ordering counter, the atmosphere really started to live up to the café's name and charm. Will was phenomenal and truly made the experience. He was incredibly helpful while assisting with our order and his energy elevated the whole visit. He also shared that everything is made in house, which made the experience feel even more special. We ordered the Chicken Masala Sandwich, an Affogato, and a chocolate chip cookie. The Chicken Masala sandwich was absolutely delicious. The flavor profile tasted clean, fresh, and thoughtfully crafted. For the Affogato, we sampled several ice cream flavors before landing on vanilla, cookie butter, and dark chocolate. The cookie butter was the standout and absolutely phenomenal, but honestly any of the options would have been a great choice. The chocolate chip cookie was also incredible. I warmed it up in the oven after getting home and it completely took it to another level. If I had one recommendation, it would be offering warmed cookies in house because that made it next level. Overall, a great experience with standout food and exceptional service. Will alone made us want to come back.

My favorite go to is the iced rose cardamom latte and their breakfast brioche sandwich. Just recently tried their cookies as well and it's unreal.

We both got iced vanilla lattes with an extra shot. The barista told us they're known for their vanilla syrup, so of course we had to try it.

Was there in early June and the coffee and service were both good, as was the savory pastry I got. The main issue with this place is the noise... not for the usual reason in coffeeshops where they play music too loud, but it's a raucous and busy place, which speaks well of the business. But far worse than noisy conversation there's this bell on both the front and back entrances that plays a little five note electric tune every time someone comes in or leaves... Why is it there? Why is it needed? The fact that only a few people have noted it here perhaps speaks more of our noise-polluted lives than anything else, but it's maddening as this thing goes off literally every minute or more, constant, tintinnabulations of the bell, bell, bell, bell, bell... There was an employee taking a break on his phone listening to YouTube videos out loud, too... I guess we're all just so used to this now. So if you want a quiet cafe to get work done, this ain't it. Maybe it's more of a Central Perk scene, with people meeting socially, all who liked the place before it became cool.

They carried the viral fruit desserts that look exactly like the fruit being represented and taste just like that fruit also. We got a few different flavors and shared them with the family we were visiting. We were all impressed and pleased. On our 2nd visit we had the ham, egg, and cheese croissant. It was large enough that we could have shared 1 between 2 of us and still be satisfied. The egg was so fluffy, the cheese was very mild and the croissant was soft, buttery, and tender. Yummy is an understatement. There are a couple of tables inside but there is a beautiful outdoor patio set up with several tables where you can sit and enjoy your food and coffee among friends.

They…read moreserve a really nice breakfast, and they also sell pastries and cakes on the side I just had breakfast here, I had the corned beef hash . Thankfully he told me there's cheese on the corned beef hash . Something interesting about michigan, I think they are the only state that serves cheese on their corned beef hash so whenever I'm in Michigan I always have to say please no cheese on my corned beef hash. The corned beef hash is made fresh from their corned beef, not from the can , so that always makes for a good experience. I look forward to coming here again. The food was delicious and the server was wonderful really nice place.

We were warmly greeted and seated by the hostess, and asked whether we'd like table or booth seating. On the mid weekday morning, it was nearly empty. I did note that they do a regular take out business well so there's always folks coming and going. I ordered a glass of Prosecco (~$12) and Shakshuka (~$16). The poached eggs were done perfectly and the spiced stewed tomatoes with a hard cheese wedge were delicious. Instead of crust bread, the dish arrived with a half piece of grilled pita. With all the liquid a bit more bread would have been a plus. The Prosecco was served in a wine glass. It tasted sweet and pretty flat unfortunately. Wouldn't likely order alcohol again here. The spices and freshness of the Shakshuka would however bring me back next time, with a cup of coffee.

A staple food here is the spam musubi- if you have never tried spam before, this is the place to try it.

Personally, they're dunkers are delicious, they're sour cream is on point. Where I had an issue was their cream filled. The cake itself was delicious but the cream had a floral note which I had a hard time getting past. I truly hope it was a secret ingredient. The appearance outside seems outdated, but the inside is your typical donut shop, very comfortable and very welcoming. I will give the cream filled donuts another try. I will update my review if I need to.

Coming from California with hundreds of unique coffee and matcha spots, I was excited to see that…read morepeople raved about the coffee and matcha here. 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. The ambiance is great and I see why it can be a great study spot, however, I can't justify the poor customer service and subpar drinks to come back here.

We started with fresh juices--detox: a bright orange juice that tasted like a refreshing citrus blend Immuno: a carrot, orange and apple blend. Both were vibrant, freshly made, and genuinely delicious. Eggs Benedict with hash browns: perfectly poached eggs, Canadian bacon, and a generous, creamy hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. Hash browns were crisp and nicely browned. We also ordered the classic breakfast with two eggs, ham, and hash browns--simple, hearty, and very satisfying. The food was beautifully presented, the outdoor setting was pleasant, and the fresh juices were a standout. A great spot for a relaxed weekend brunch.

My servers are usually always attentive. Today was very weird though, so I don't think I'll be coming back. I ordered an Americano and then was some discussion from the barista (?) on whether it was a single or a double espresso shot. Then someone, I didn't look to see who, was ranting about how Americanos are SO STUPID and why wouldn't I just order a $2 espresso shot instead. The guy sitting at the bar asked her to repeat it and they all laughed. WTF? If you're going to talk trash about your customers, at least wait til they leave. Rude.
