Café Brulee is such a great new addition to the area! It sits right at Dye and Miller Roads, with…read moreplenty of parking and easy entrances/exits from both roads. The inside is bright, spacious, modern, and incredibly clean, with plenty of tables and two spotless bathrooms. They also have picnic tables with umbrellas outside if you want to enjoy your coffee and watch the world go by. The owners are the same people behind Pesto's, which has been a neighborhood staple forever, so I already had high expectations for the quality, and Café Brûlé absolutely delivered. They serve locally roasted Fireside Coffee and have a huge coffee menu, along with sandwiches and an amazing selection of baked goods they make themselves, including croissants, cookies, cheesecakes, and more. They even sell locally made items and little crafts like earrings, which gives the place a nice community feel. Now, let's talk about the cinnamon roll cheesecake because THAT deserves its own paragraph. It was phenomenal. Seriously, one of the best desserts I've had in a very long time. The key lime cheesecake was also delicious, with the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I tried the brown butter chocolate chip cookies and molasses cookies too, and both were moist, flavorful, and tasted homemade. My caramel latte was fantastic. You could actually taste the espresso! I hate when a latte tastes like a cup of warm milk with a rumor of coffee in it. This one had plenty of coffee flavor while still being creamy and delicious. I also grabbed a sandwich to try later. I haven't eaten it yet, but if it's anything like the sandwiches at Pesto's, I'm pretty confident I'm going to be happy. The service was excellent. Everything came out quickly, and the woman helping me was incredibly friendly. She even took the time to tell me how Café Brulee got its start. Prices were very reasonable too, especially considering the quality. It's also in a convenient location near Flint and Swartz Creek and within about a mile of the dog park and walking trails, so it would be a great stop before or after a walk. Definitely worth checking out. And whatever else you order, get the cinnamon roll cheesecake. Trust me on this one.

On a road trip Saturday we decided to stop in Swartz Creek for coffee and checked out for the first…read moretime Fireside Coffee. My daughter picked it because it had good reviews on google....we actually passed by it at first as the area it's in wasn't where you'd typically envision a coffee shop. The owner either lives in front of it or next door to it(..?) so there's a house in front. Anyway-went to the back behind the house & found the parking lot. There was a small patio area attached to the back of building where some people were sitting. You actually enter through the back also, with a pretty ordinary entrance. Was surprised at how cute it was inside, even though it's small. Not a whole lot of indoor seating-that was full and only about 6 people able to sit(?) It was definitely less than 10. So that was disappointing as it was really hot & humid Saturday. But-they had things for sale like shirts, cups, coffee. Even a section that they sponsored a local artist from Flint that I thought was nice. The 2 employees were very kind. Great customer service. I got the "Island Vibes" iced drink they were promoting and it was really good. I could taste the coconut and lavender so I was happy about that. My daughter wasn't as impressed with her drink-it was a hot latte with some marshmallow flavor. She said she couldn't taste the marshmallow flavoring. They have a small room for conferences if you want a coffee spot for a meeting. There seemed to be a larger area for their own offices....so I'm just wondering if this is a fairly new place just starting out recently or in the past year or so. Overall, cute store. Employees make it worth a trip back sometime if I'm going that way. Enjoyed my coffee. Seating though would make it difficult to go back there on a cold or rainy day as there's not a lot of seating.

We've stopped in a handful of times when in the cultural area (my old neighborhood) and found it to be very lovely..great atmosphere, good coffee and pastry, nice vibe, good prices, great service, decent location..

Pretty decent to grab a coffee and snack…read more This place opened not too long ago. The building was once a doctor's office of some kind and you can kinda spy how the layout was and what has and has not changed since its transformation into a cafe. The outside still looks slightly like an old doctor's office, but the owners really went a long way in making the most of the location and renovating it into a nice little coffee shop for the local area. It's located right by the corner of a major subdivision, so the neighbors really must be pleased to have a cafe so close by to grab coffee or tea on their walks or while jogging, or simply on their way to work in the morning. The ambiance inside is cozy, but you can definitely tell it was once a doctor's office (you can see how the old office was laid out- waiting room, reception desk, offices in the back, etc), but it doesn't They sell Fireside Coffee here and and the usual smoothies, lattes, mochas, teas, pour over coffees, etc, as well as a limited line of fresh baked pastries, bagels and muffins, plus some iced beverages, like Red Bull and whatnot. I ordered an iced Salted Caramel Latte, but wound up getting a hot version of the same drink instead because the girl waiting on me misheard me. She quickly realized the mistake and offered to remake me a new iced drink, though I said it was okay and just took the already made drink because it wasn't a big deal to me. Iced, hot, whatever, I didn't really care, so it was fine. My husband ordered a traditional mocha. Both were excellent. We had no real complaints. Customer service, other than the small hiccup concerning my drink, was excellent. The barista was super nice and chill. She pointed out the retail section of the store, where they sell Chill Coffee Cafe branded gear, including t-shirts, mugs, bags of coffee, and more. The free WI-FI signal was strong and didn't interfere with the apps on my phone (some places have super sketchy WI-FI connections and it's preferable to pass on the free WI-FI). The cafe had a nice, quiet area in the back, with comfy chairs, a fireplace and a big screen TV. Further back, they had a private meeting room where they apparently host a children's event every week on the weekends. Up front, there was another seating area near the counter, with plenty of charging stations for phones, tablets and laptops. In other words, it's a perfect place to work while on the go or just chill and relax sipping a latte.

Cute coffee shop…read more We dropped in for some coffee drinks recently. They were prepared very nicely by the friendly barista. I liked the space, it was cozy and inviting and a nice place to work or study. Pricing is comparable to most other coffee shops in the area, but the menu is a little limited. I would like a bit more variety, but this is still a new business. Maybe once they have perfected things they'll offer more? Anyway, it's a decent place to get coffee and read or get some work done. I'm glad it's close and on my way to work.

There is plenty of seating, and they open up outdoor seating when warmer weather comes. Despite how busy it gets, you will find seating opens up pretty fast. The staff are kind, quick, and knowledgeable, and prices are reasonable for the caliber of quality you get with every menu option. They also have a seasonal menu that is worth keeping an eye on as it cycles throughout the year. Every dish I've ever had from here has been a feast for all my senses. I recently got the Michigan Smoke and substituted their roasted garlic cream sauce for the BBQ sauce- it was seriously delightful!!!! I usually get their egg crepe and they also have seasonal drinks.
