The Chalkboard Kitchen - Farm stand Mixup and Blueberry pancake! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

Lovely spot. Was there for a private party. Nice atmosphere. The light appetizers were very good. Thank you !

We loved this place! I believe it was an old school house to begin with. Lots of great choices, I had the pancakes which were light and fluffy, definitely not some pancake mix. My husband had an omelette that came with really good sourdough toast and the best hash browns on the planet. The service was excellent as well as the prices being reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent food, nice environment very good staff very professional and nice they made you feel at home the only bad thing about this place is they need more public bathrooms there was kind of a line to get into the bathrooms. The day I went there their food was pretty good. I am a guy that likes a good cheeseburger. The environment was nice too. Me and my family went there. And everybody enjoyed their food. read more

This was a great place for breakfast. They were busy for a Saturday morning but food was good. Clean and open space read more

Hands down the best Lox bagel my fiancé and I've ever had, and I used to live on Long Island and work in Manhattan! The Hog Wild combination of flavors was OUTSTANDING! Truly one of the best breakfast meals I've ever had. Fantastic service and very friendly staff. We will certainly be back to try the sweet breakfast options! read more

Very cute cafe! Had the best breakfast. Service was awesome and they made you feel right at home!!

Came to South Haven to run an errand and decided to stop in here for breakfast. The staff were friendly and the menu mentioned they had recently moved into this new location. The decor is very farmhouse modern with a lot of white washed panels. The breakfast was really good and came out hot and fresh! The biscuits and gravy were tasty and the bacon and sausage tasted great! If I am ever in the area again I will make sure to stop by again and try their dinner menu! read more

Awesome service, friendly charismatic staff. The food was phenomenal, breakfast carbonara and chorizo scramble were DYNAMITE! They didn't miss the heat on the Bloody Mary either ;) Definitely stop here when in town!! read more

The Chalkboard Kitchen - BLT E super huge and messy - use a fork haha! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

before ever taking a look at the menu, our waitress asked us if we wanted to start off with their donuts, making it seem like it was what they offered as complimentary. We said yes thinking it was one of their offering (we are in town for a wedding so we don't know the place at all). when we finally looked at the menu, we noticed donuts for $12 on there!! Then when we asked if we would have to pay for it, she told us yes. Knowing we get a sweet treat on every breakfast date, I said no big deal and asked if we could get these pancakes instead of the donuts since we looked at the menu and saw what they had to offer! She told us it was too late but we could purchase that as well if we wanted to. Right away we took the check and left. Extremely unprofessional. I served in fine dining and would never "sell" the way we got sold at BREAKFAST. read more

We were big fans of the Phoenix Cafe and even bigger fans of Chalboard Kitchen. We stopped in this weekend for lunch. I had the best BLT. The bacon in the sandwich is unreal and the lettuce and tomato were both fresh. I upgraded to fries and they were really good crinkle cut style. My husband got the Brisket Breakfast and loved every bit of it. He upgraded to the biscuit and literally I will be back for the biscuit basket. There are so many things on the menu we look forward to trying when we are in town. Two down sides, they need to be open for dinner and an espresso machine would be a nice addition! Shout out to Megan for her excellent service! read more

Delicious breakfast spot in heart of charming South Haven! The staff was so friendly and made us laugh. Their menu has a lot of vegetarian stuff and also vegan (vegan eggs, tofu, etc). I ordered their avocado toast with smashed potatoes and my husband ordered their veggie scramble with potatoes. The space was so huge and inviting - I'm guessing they used to be on Phoenix Street but needed more space so now they're on Broadway. Either way the potatoes stole the show. So so good and crispy! Plus we paid via Apple Pay which was AWESOME. More paperless paying please! 13/10. Put them on our list if you're ever in or going through south haven! read more

Went here for the second time. Ordered the B(E)LT again. Damn, this might be may favorite breakfast place. I think my wife had french toast. They don't have a really big menu, but what they have is above typical breakfast fare. read more

Since our last visit a few years ago, Phoenix Street has moved to a new location. Love the architectural details of this restored older building. Clean and modern inside. The drawback: it is LOUD. The place is hopping (good for their success and a sign of an appreciated community eatery) and with that comes lots of people, movement and conversation. For my preferences, the stimulation detracts from the ambiance. Next time, I'll try outside seating. We were greeted quickly and placed on a waitlist. Given the number of people, the wait list moves quickly. The staff at Phoenix Street is efficient. They work hard and keep moving. With this efficiency comes a lack of personal connection. We wanted to ask about the live and the new billing, but there was literally not a moment for any tangential conversation. Our server was polite, but gave all the nonverbals of "I don't want to talk."' Once we were seated, our order was taken and our food arrived, we didn't see much from the staff. An improvement in customer connection would go a long way in making this good eatery excellent. Our memory of past visits in the older, dated building included time to chat with staff and a much more comfy, homey feel. Miss that environment. Our food arrived in a timely manner. It looked and smelled wonderful. Large portions prepared well and plated nicely. Much like our memory do previous visits, Phoenix Street serves up excellent food. Menu prices are steep, but comparable to other waterfront, vacation-oriented communities. We would definitely return. Perhaps off-season, the vibe will settle down. read more

Finally able to get to the new location. The name has changed; Yelp has not acknowledged the change yet. Had late breakfast recently and the results are similar to the original location. Mediocre food and service. The kitchen screwed up my order and the server did not catch it. The rye bread on the Turkey Cranberry sandwich was dry. Three half-slices of french toast portion was disappointing. Dining room was half full. The noise level varied. When full, the hard surfaces on walls and floor will create quite the din. Overall? Disappointed read more

We went for breakfast. It was very busy, but they were able to get us right in. The food was delivered quickly and was delicious. They have many interesting choices for breakfast. The staff was great! It is a very cute place! We will definitely be back and recommend it to others visiting the area. read more

This place is SO close to being my go-to restaurant. Food is excellent! Service is excellent! Atmosphere I love! However, it has the MOST expensive beer on tap that I have ever seen. I would love to come here routinely for lunch and a beer but I can NOT stomach that price for beer, even domestics. read more

Food-5-star Service-5-star Ambiance- 5-star. I judge breakfast by how good the sausage gravy is and they knocked this one out of the water! I had 1/2 order of biscuits & gravy and scrambled eggs. Hubby had a pancake with walnuts and scrambled eggs. Again another home run! Even though they were 2-3 staff members short, everything moved smoothly. This was our second visit on our most recent visit to South Haven and will definitely revisit next time we're here. read more

Stopped in for a weekday brunch. Lovely old converted church with great character. Not terribly busy, but several tables filled up after we arrived. I had the bagel with lox, wife had French toast. Service was attentive. Both dishes came out reasonably quickly and everything was delicious. Bagel was loaded with avocado, capers, bean sprouts, and a generous pile of salmon. Will definitely be back to explore more of the menu. Lots of great sounding options and daily specials. read more

Great service and food. Had the Salmon Hash and a Grilled cheese. Both were very tasty. We'll be back!

Came by to have a nice brunch. We had the tofu scramble; my friend I agreed there was too much turmeric; it was over-powering in flavor. Otherwise, still delicious with a bit of red hot hot sauce. The smashed potatoes were yummy. The "peach on the beach" was decent, but the blood orange mimosa took the cake! I highly recommend the blood orange mimosa, followed by the Pom berry mimosa. read more

Had a tasty brunch here with some girlfriends. We had to wait about 15-20ish minutes for a table which was as expected on a Saturday morning. However, the hostess was definitely in a mood and could have been more approachable. Once we did get seated, we had a great experience. Our waitress was very nice and had a good attitude. Our food was really good as well. The coolest and most unexpected part of our experience was seeing a celebrity! She was an actress from Chicago PD and Pretty Little Liars. read more

Came by around 8:30 am for breakfast on a weekday. Sat outside with 2 with no wait. Promptly seated and quick efficient service throughout the meal! Coffee was great and regularly refilled. I had a peach mimosa which was great. Not sure how our waitress got the glass so full and brought it over without spilling! Eggs Benedict was delicious. The gravy on the biscuits and gravy was great, the biscuits were so-so. Potatoes maybe a little undercooked for my liking, but overall an enjoyable breakfast on the restaurant patio! read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot in downtown South Haven. We have been coming to South Haven for years but had never been to Phoenix Street until today. I had French toast with eggs and bacon...it was great. They also serve cocktails, Bloody Marys, and Mimosas...you're on vacation, so why not! We will return in the future. read more

Easy to find location but with very limited parking. You may have to park on the side street as we did along with 10 or so other cars. We arrived at approx. 9:45 AM on a Monday and had to wait approximately 20 minutes to get a table. Server and Waitress were very accommodating. The inside was nice, and the majority of the tables are in a large open room. The large open room is fairly noisy as others have mentioned, it makes having table conversations a bit difficult. The food? Decent but lackluster I ordered the Phoenix Street Breakfast. Scrambled eggs were good, white toast with butter was solid but my bacon did taste like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time. Portions of my bacon were overly crisp. Wife's avocado toast was decent but had far too many onions incorporated in it. We also weren't fans of the coffee served here. Overall, our experience was okay but doubtful we would consider coming back when in the area. read more

Fantastic breakfast spot and very accommodating for food allergies. We were promptly seated and within moments had our drinks. My kiddos loved the hot cocoa and real apple juice and I enjoyed the coffee. They have plenty of gluten free options which my kids need. The gf French toast was scarfed down in record time, while the gf waffle was solid if nothing special. The 2 mammoth blueberry pancakes were packed with berries and delicious, and the scrambled eggs and bacon were prepared well. Really enjoyed our meal and experience here! read more

This place is super cute. Hopin area and very trendy. But unless ur coming for the coffee and the drinks. An egg is an egg u can't hurt or ruin that too much. But I'm not a fan of the simplicity of B&G's. If they made it any simpler, I'd stay home and make it. It's not that I'm being g hard I. Them, but it's a frozen biscuit !!!! Take the time and properly do the gravy. Even the bag gravy that u u probably purchased from Gfs. My suggestion to time and save mi ey stop using basic white and buy rhe peppered gravy next step is to actually have enough sausage that it do t look like u cut up a patty and threw it in there. I mean, u have a SUPER CUTE place. I see the other dishes they looked good. But too many people go for B&G's that was just ashamed. Especially when u charge $9 a full order and the ingredients cost u $1.75. Also enough with the bowls for B&G too. No spoon either. Use a plate read more

I judge every restaurant on their Reuben sandwich. This place did not disappoint. Perfect balance of meat to cheese to sauerkraut to sauce. Very delicious, and took half home to enjoy tomorrow. Our server was happy and bubbly. We had to ask for a spoon for coffees at our table. One of our party said her egg dish was cold when it was served. read more
