    Omelet at The Corner Cafe in Battle Creek, MI
    Bruce K.

    About as far from fancy as you can get but it's still clean. The Corner Cafe is clearly the spot for the locals. It's not close to much and it doesn't look like much from the outside, but I had a fine breakfast. Just a ham and cheese omelet, which was quite large we substituted sliced tomatoes for home fries since I'm still doing a keto diet. Inexpensive, local, big portion. I'm a fan!

    Hamburger steak, scrambled eggs and hashbrowns.
    Joe C.

    Oh man... Huge portions and at a decent price. Very friendly service and the short order cook keeps cranking out the orders. Our drinks were always filled with the friendliest of staff. I had the hamburger steak with hashbrowns and 2 scrambled eggs. Everything was cooked as ordered and the hamburger steak was more than enough to fill me up Not sure yet if the pepper was free or not but the waitress came to me just before our food was delivered and asked if I wanted a pepper. I said sure and when my food was delivered my plate had a nice pablano pepper with it. Well done guys! I think the only thing missing here is some updated furniture and a credit card machine, have to pay in cash.

    Huge half order of goulash and garlic bread. Yum!!

    Excellent food...very well priced. Friendly staff. Good home cooking! Small inside but worth every minute if you have to wait. A must try.

    Biscuits, sausage gravy, egg and hashbrowns

    This has been my favorite breakfast spot in Battle Creek for years and even though I moved away 25 years ago I still go back when I am in town. It is "just" a good old school diner like you used to find across the state. Lots of options on menu. My regular option is the biscuits and sausage gravy with an egg and hashbrowns. The biscuits are crumble and absorb the rich meaty gravy and Ted (owner) makes crisp hashbrowns on his flattop grill like none I have had anywhere. This is a local place with lots or regulars and the decor and exterior are nondescript. The prices are great and portions are large. They also do great lunch food and I still dream of the chili dogs even though it has probably been ten years.

    Farmers omelette with sausage gravy added. He couldn't believe what was put in front of him.

    See all

    One of my favorite cafe in the area. Plenty of seating, parking shouldn't be a problem, well I only…read morecame here early in the morning Good coffee, good food and good service.

    I really wanted to LOVE this place. It is a locally owned breakfast spot owned by a Costa Rican…read morefamily which had me from the start. I was excited to try their breakfast dishes because I was looking forward to some Costa Rican style dishes and was excited to see what their flavors were all about especially in this small little town. I ordered the tico sunrise bowl with an extra egg and avocado. When I got the bowl it looked very appealing. When I cut into the egg unfortunately it was a little overcooked so the yolk wasn't as runny as I would have liked. The dish overall was pretty bland and packed some flavor. Even with the chipotle cream which I was excited about the flavor just wasn't there. It tasted a little more like sour cream than chipotle to me. I did add some salt and Pepper to the dish which helped a bit. We ordered some of there homemade salsas hoping it would help but those too tasted very bland and packed any salt or seasonings. Maybe I was just hoping for some food with flavor but that's not their style of cooking? I did order their cafe Miel latte which was very delicious. I very much enjoyed sitting in the cute little cafe and drinking my coffee. I still give it at least 4 stars because it did have a nice little vibe inside and the staff was friendly and service was quick.

    Visited early Saturday evening for dinner…read more We had a table immediately however, the young ladies at the host stand were not professional. Passively greeted and sat us between their giggling chit chat. We were sat against the shut door that was pouring cold air. Of all the empty tables, why anyone is ever sat at that table in the winter, either doesn't care or isn't paying attention. The grime on the menus confirms the host stands needs to step up their attention to their work. The waitress was great. Very attentive. Made a mistake with a quick fix. Service could not have been better. She took our order and we scanned the room and decor. The cold draft was getting annoying but was quickly overshadowed by the group of men in the corner shouting and one kept frickin whistling in response to the raucous laughing and shouting. Where was management to ask them to tone it down a bit? Whistling! Like you're calling a dog in from the yard. Clearly he just wanted all eyes on him and their group. It was insanely inconsiderate because it went on for 20 mins. The 20 mins until they left. Idk if they were that loud before we arrived or what kicked up the volume. They weren't watching a game. They were sitting in a big circle like a group discussion. Anyway. The good was fine. Nothing special. The stuffed mushrooms came in a half moon dish on a plate with nothing on the side. It was strange but tasty enough. Salad was huge but I think they forgot the tomatoes and cucumbers. Homemade ranch really set it off. Reasonable prices and quick service. Glad to leave when we were done and warmup in the car.
