Truly thankful to God for this place. A friend recommended it to me. It is a good restaurant and bakery where you can order food and buy homemade bread and other baked goods. They have homemade whole wheat bread and homemade sourdough bread for example. It truly tastes so good. Truly, the only place I plan on buying bread now besides making it. read more

The Hearthstone Oven - This is bread I bought from the Hearthstone Oven and froze it for now. - Bakeries Near Me - Ithaca, Michigan

My husband and my MIL came here for breakfast during our holiday visit. Service was friendly and the dishes were great with generous portions. I had the deluxe breakfast, my husband ordered the meat lover omelette and my MIL opted for biscuits with gravy and a side of scrambled eggs. Everything bite was lovely so we picked up 3 large cinnamon rolls to take home at the counter. There were 3 tipping options on the credit card terminal ranging from 20% to 30% on the total amount! I promptly selected the custom option and added my self-calculated amount based on a reasonable and respectable percentage on the pre-tax total of the dined-in portion. I'm glad I did my math at the table before going up to the cash register. read more

The atmosphere here feels like a home meets a bakery and there just happens to be a restaurant inside. I ordered the Maple Bacon Burger ($14). A 1/3# patty, apple maple bacon jam, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and crispy onions, on a toasted butterhorn roll. This was an excellent burger, the beef was high quality and delicious. The bacon jam gave it a slighty sweet, yet savory taste. Everything merged together perfectly to create a burger I definitely want to eat again. I got applesauce with it that was very good. I got some Cinnamon Rolls to take home and they were fantastic. I also got a Raspberry Cream Cheese Roll. Basically raspberry instead of the cinnamon mixture and it works. Definitely a home run. The service was fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely, this is worth the 90 minute drive. Both Cinnamon Rolls and Burgers deserve their spots on the best of lists. read more

Average at best. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. Also, if you want breakfast make sure to arrive before 11 since this "breakfast" place doesn't serve breakfast after 11. read more

Very good service and food also friendly staff I would recommend this place to everyone!!!

Delicious. Definitely excellent baked goods including the waffle. It was busy the weekend I visited. Hours are mostly morning and midday. read more

One of the best breakfast & lunch spots in Central Michigan! You will not be disappointed. Great food, great service, and great owners!

Stopped here for lunch in the middle of the day. As soon as we sat down, we got called out to a farm call and had to leave right away. The ladies were so nice and accommodating and told us they could box up an order for us to go in about 5 minutes. We got the Wednesday special (turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing). It was delicious! And we could t get over how nice and accommodating all the ladies were. Thanks to all of the ladies and Brooke our server! read more

Our first time eating here but definitely won't be our last. The food was absolutely amazing (we had the burgers). Very hearty serving size. And the service was equally amazing. read more

Wonderful place to eat. The omelette was packed full of veggies and not at all greasy Perfect. The raspberry and lemon Bismark was soooo good. Service was excellent and everything was clean and decorated beautifully. I highly recommend stopping in and enjoy. read more

We drove 45 minutes to try Hearthstone Oven and it was worth the drive. We had a wonderful breakfast, with excellent service. I don't know how they make the syrup, but it was delicious. The raspberry cream rolls are amazing and so tasty. read more

Amazing cookies, pecan rolls and chocolate pies! My favorite is the Southern Chicken salad!

Great food, good service and delicious baked goods. A must stop on our trips to northern Michigan.

Food came out hot and ready. Was welcomed with a friendly smile and the food was very appetizing. Would recommend coming here.

The BEST food. Had the club sandwich - better than I've had in my entire life. The bun melts in your mouth. Real bacon, ham & Turkey, not just lunch meat. The fluff as a side was unique & delicious. The lemonade was real, not a fountain drink. Hurray for Yelp so we found this place on our way to Northern Michigan read more

Service was quick. Food was great. Bought take home bake goods and frozen meal for the kids! Great ambience, clean and friendly staff. Not open on Sunday's . Great stop on our way up north! read more

They have frozen entrees to go! I had to get that out there because I hadn't seen that tip in any of the other reviews. When we were being seated there was a couple standing in front of a display freezer stocking up on Mac & Cheese, Lasagne, Meatloaf, Chicken Pot Pie and more. She said that she always stocks up on the frozen items when she's visiting her mom. That's a testimonial. Beyond that I agree with 90% of the reviewers about everything else! The food is down-home good food. It tastes like it came out of grandma's kitchen. On the way out we grabbed cookies and the frozen entrees to take to the cabin up north. The staff is very friendly. Here's a tip: don't drive a trailer through the town to get to the restaurant. Take the side streets or you could be ticketed. It's the first time we've ever seen signs that say no trailers through town. The food is worth it! read more

The best. Love this place, you can't go wrong. Breakfast and lunch, bread, cookies, the best cinnamon rolls ever made. read more

This is a unique restaurant for sure. All the workers are family and the ladies all wear a head cover and a long dress. I was trying to figure out if it was Dutch or Amish, but the people I was with wouldn't let me ask the waitress. The food is decent. The bread is all home made, as I'm sure most the food is too. So I really liked the bread my sand which came on. They have a bakery here too, so I got 2 cookies for $0.79 each. It was really good. If you're in the middle of no where, eat here. It's pretty much your only option outside fast food or gas station food. read more

As you walk in the smell is mesmerizing , such a cozy ,clean little place , the staff were so warm and humble , now the club I had was juicy and the bread was soft to perfection. OH ,The soup had even the smallest hint of dill that made the loaded potato feel like moms cooking (oh the memory's) . I will definitely would recommend this place to anyone! I would definitely love coming here again read more

A family favorite. The warm butter syrup is just the best. Make sure to grab some baked goods for at home. Very homey with very kind service. read more

Nice cute place and very friendly service. Prices are good for what it is, but food is built for old people. It is soft, either over seasoned or under seasoned. Pie was good, sandwich was below average. I wouldn't go back for the food. Nice people. read more

Excellent food and service. We loved the BBQ chicken sandwich. The freshest tasting chicken ever. We had to have homemade bread and cinimon rolls to take home!! Outstanding!! read more

What a wonderful place. Lots to chose from on their menu. My family came for lunch and we ordered something different for all of us. You will not walk out of there hungry. I had the homemade chicken noodle soup and I wish I would of grabbed some outta that freezer cause it was so tasty I found my self wanting more the next day. Do not walk by the bakery section. I bought a loaf of the multi-grain bread and it was the best bread I have ever eaten in my life and the cinnamon rolls are as good as they look! We will be back. read more

Great food - breakfast, lunch and sweets! Great prices - excellent food and prices are fantastic Great staff! Everyone is so very friendly Some of the best baked goods in Gratiot County! Lunch is great - have tried almost everything Sweet treats for everyone- can't stop at just one! read more

While traveling to Northern Michigan, my husband and stopped here for lunch. It was a little out of the way from I69, but worth the short drive! We were greeted warmly by the staff and the restaurant was very clean and homey. They had a bakery display that made my eyes water looking at all the large rolls and muffins. I ordered a homemade potpie and my husband, a reuben sandwich. It seems the owners were a sort of "white amish" or Mennonite. The bread and buns used were all homemade yeast rolls and melted in your mouth! It was also pretty reasonably priced. If we are ever up that way again, we will stop in! read more

When you are in the middle of nowhere, this is a good place to stop. The food and baked goods are all homemade and the French toast is to die for. They make a buttery syrup in house and I took some home to share. Breakfast burrito is also very good. The biscuits and gravy fell flat though. It could be that I'm spoiled by the husband's homemade version, but the gravy was very thick and cool, not hot, and the biscuits seemed compacted and not fresh. I was SO SAD ABOUT IT. The service isn't unfriendly, but just more conservative. Overall everything is plain and straightforward, but not bad. It's not cuddly. I would definitely stop again, and next time I would take some baked goods with me that looked amazing behind the counter. read more

Fantastic experience and food. Super clean and doing an amazing job during COVID with their facilities and cleanliness

This is a wonderful little place and the staff were all very nice. My wife and I ordered the Chicken pot pie and she said it was yummy I thought it was delicious. The cole slaw was probably the best I ever had. Very fresh. Our friend had the Reuben Sandwich and said it was very good. He also enjoyed the onion soup immensely. The restroom was clean and clearly marked for use. I recommend this business highly. Jamie was our waitress and she was very pleasant and happy. Always a good quality. read more

Great honest, homemade food. I needed a small, protein rich breakfast -- had a breakfast sandwich on a butter horn roll (hold the American "cheese"). The best breakfast sandwich ever. The pecan rolls are decadently delicious and skimp on nothing. read more

One of my favorite places to eat when visiting my family in Michigan. Their philly sandwich is amazing and the bread melts in your mouth. The French toast is delicious and made also with fresh bread. I always grab a dozen cookies on my way out and cherry pie if they have it! So good! read more

The best homemade cookies, they are my favorite! Their soups are also incredible! Everything's cooked from scratch!

Like everyone else has said, the French toast and biscuits&gravy are amazing. Pretty sure they put cocaine in that syrup butter mix. You can also get both by ordering ala carte. Rather than rehashing, I would make one suggestion: tip based on what things should cost. For 2 breakfasts (coffee, French toast, biscuits and gravy), it was $14. There is no reason to cut my tip to $2.80 when any other place id be tipping $4-5. read more

Mennonite, Mennonite, Mennonite. There, I wanted to start by getting my quota out of the way. The Hearthstone Oven is a gem in a city that, frankly, doesn't have a whole lot to offer. You'll find the best breakfast and lunch in the entire city right in this unassuming bakery. While the food is absolutely out of this world, the service is a little lackluster. Oh, and let's not forget that the bakery is awesome also. Because all this stuff is the real deal, genuine, homemade variety. Let's focus on the "real" food though. My most recent visit was there for breakfast with my mom... I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits with some hashbrowns on a la carte. The gravy and biscuits... are to die for. Rich, creamy, luxurious.... the absolute best sausage gravy I've ever had in my entire life. They could have gotten away with rocks for the biscuits and it still would be awesome, but they didn't stop there. Light, fluffy, and buttery biscuits are smothered in this gift of food straight from the gates of Heaven. The hashbrowns on the side were... passing. Nothing nearly as great as the entree, but they did the trick. They were a bit oily for my tastes as there was a little pool left of oil on the plate once they were done. Let's move on to the decor. While there's nothing particularly wrong with it, I didn't find it the most welcoming or warm. Sarah Plain and Tall to the max. White walls, sparsely placed boring artwork... it all kind of felt like i was in a hospital cafeteria with a bakery display case. Service here matches the decor, it wasn't particularly warm, or welcoming, but it got the job done. It kinda felt like how I imagine it feels when you don't get along with your mother-in-law but she has to put on the nice face while you're in town visiting. Overall it was a decent experience with awesome food and service that could use a little bit of an upgrade. I'll definitely return, but it'll definitely be for the hearty meals at moderate prices and not because I like the feeling of being waited on by my yet-to-exist mother-in-law. read more

Food is the most reliable available in Ithaca. However, the Kitchen closes at 3:00. Or an hour before closing every day. The bakery is open to 4:00 but there is never much left. So, beware, if you get there at 3:05, you cannot order food off the menu. read more

Great food and awesome baked goods! Then there are the frozen foods you can take home and prepare later.

Absolutely Fantastic!!! Service with a smile and the food is wonderful! Best chicken salad sandwich Ever! The raspberry ice tea is the best as well! Had to also take some to go, it was that good! Will be back as often as possible. read more

This as is good as it gets! Great breakfast with hearty portions( try the cinnamon raisin toast) and they treat you like family. We left with Klotche's to go. It was like pastry heaven. If you are anywhere close to Ithaca, you don't want to miss this place. read more

Happened upon this place because I first saw a billboard for it, I was hungry, and we were getting off the exit so I could relieve my bladder! HA! Way bigger than I expected and super friendly. I chose the tex mex Panini and it had chicken, melted Monterey jack cheese, and some peppers and onions. Delish! It was so hard to choose though. I wanted one of everything on the menu. I did notice the bakery case when we came in so I knew I was going to hit that up. We choose a dozen cookies.. we were going to share so don't judge!! I picked the deluxe and snicker doodle and my husband got the molasses and monster. The snicker doodle and molasses were definitely the way to go. They lasted our whole trip, which was pretty impressive. I'm so happy to have found a new place to stop! read more

I ordered the combo sandwich and pie for lunch. The philly sandwich had a 3 inch rolled piece of wax paper in it that I bit into with my second bite. The manager excused it as a minor mistake saying it's not a hair or dirt. It ruined my lunch and my wife's. He comped my meal, which ended up being a piece of pie, refused to comp my wife's. Last time for Hearthstone after many summers going there on visits to mid Michigan. read more
