I was initially drawn to this spot by the big knight in shining armor that I saw on Yelp (I'm a big…read morechess fan) and then pleasantly surprised at how cool this place is. The decor really makes this spot, with lots of fun themed signs throughout the restaurant. This definitely gives it a different and more fun vibe than the average coffee house and the upstairs loft is cozy to hangout in as well. The coffee flavors and preparation are quite good here -- flavorful, and made with high quality ingredients. I also enjoyed the mini scones, with a nice texture that was soft but a little more firm than a muffin. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Pontiac. Great vibe and delicious food.

No pastrami pancakes here. Bummer. That said, breakfast was basic but good--eggs, bacon, coffee, the classics. Sometimes that's all you really need. The vibe is super local, definitely one of those "everybody knows your name" joints. Felt like I should've walked in wearing a nametag that said "Norm." points because my waitress was a Styx fan--nothing like sipping coffee while talking Come Sail Away. Rock and eggs? Solid combo. tip: you can't add your tip later on the receipt, gotta do it when you ring out. I just left a cash tip--felt right anyway. Kept it homie.Overall? Cozy, friendly, no-frills, and exactly the kind of place you want when you're eating with the locals.

Their black cold brew was decent and had a hint of citrus flavour. I don't really enjoy coffees with citrus notes but it was still satisfying. I also tried their Fruity Pebbles latte which was not overly sweet. It had lavender flavour and the chocolatey profile that I tend to lean towards more when it comes to coffees. The price is pretty reasonable as well. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I suggest stopping by if you're ever visiting or driving through the area.

We tried it when it first came to Manteno, and the food and service were exceptional--but there were several intrusive children disrupting our experience. Over two years later, we decide to give it another chance... As soon as we walked in, the A/C must have been out so it was HORRIBLY hot and uncomfortable. The air smelled like spoiled food, a staff member behind the counter was coughing and complaining which is not how you conduct yourself among paying customers... Sadly, we didn't even bother ordering as our appetite was completely spoiled. I really hope some changes are made because it truly used to be a favorite spot.

The service was very kind and prompt, and it was clear that the staff cared about our whole experience. Came here while visiting my sister, and she claimed this is their favorite local spot for both breakfast AND lunch/dinner! It certainly did not disappoint. They had about 5 specialty coffee drinks on the menu (all holiday themed). We got two (one peppermint and one gingerbread), and they were presented beautifully. For food we got a few breakfast sandwiches, European pancakes, a banana peanut butter toast, and some sides of bacon. All of it was VERY good and nearly all of it (including their bread) was scratch made. My favorite item was their croissant sandwich... if the croissants were homemade this place would easily have been a 5. All accounted for, I cannot wait to return for dinner. Thank you!
