    Good food just took way too long on the wait for the food. All the food was dry like it had been cooked in a microwave.

    The best breakfast in Michigan. It starts with fresh coffee. Piping hot and strong. If your…read moreappetite is geared to classic breakfast choices, you're covered. Eggs, perfectly cooked, biscuits and gravy, sausage, sandwiches, all hand made fresh. Specials from around the world change everyday if you are a more adventurous diner. On weekends they serve artisan pizza, not gas station greasy, as good as Chicago or Detroit, and other specials from their outdoor smoker. The atmosphere is green, peaceful and country, surrounded by a farm. The service is personal and not rushed. It has a drive through but its charm is meant to be absorbed at a Croton pace. Sit down, watch the hummingbirds, hear the donkeys bray in the distance. Enjoy great food, maybe even listen to some acoustic live music. There is only one of these in the world. Do yourself a favor, experience something unique and delicious in a setting that is blissful.

    Cash only! There is an ATM inside if needed. WOW! What an interesting stop. The parking lot is…read moresmall but there is signage for extra parking along the side of the property if needed. The restaurant was ALL decked out for Halloween! From the time you pull into the parking lot to when you enter. Marie welcomed us kindly, gave us menus, and we found our own seats. There is seating both inside and outside. We chose a booth outside and enjoyed the scenery with all the flowers are in bloom. The tables and chairs do not match and there are vases with flowers on the table. I ordered the Thai Tea and could not be happier. When Marie brought it out she waited to stir it together so I could watch the magic. It had a pumpkin taste with a cinnamon flare is the best way to describe it. I also ordered the special "onion soup" and a blueberry lemon muffin. My husband had the club. Very strange that bacon was not on the menu. I asked and was told having bacon is a hit or miss if available. They offer sausage and/or ham products so having a club without bacon was definitely different. For a rustic roadside restaurant with neighborhood flare it was nice. The tea was the most memorable outside of the establishment itself.

    Manifesting the Perfect Latte (And It Worked)…read more Before I even stepped foot into Live Oak Coffeehouse, I closed my eyes and set my intention. I envisioned the perfect coconut almond milk latte--smooth, rich, subtly sweet, and crafted with care. I felt the warmth of the cup in my hands, the aroma wrapping around me like a cozy hug from the universe itself. I whispered to the cosmos: "Let this latte be everything I desire and more." And guess what? The universe delivered. I entered Live Oak with gratitude in my heart, and the barista--clearly an enlightened being--crafted my drink with the energy of a thousand good vibrations. The first sip? Pure alignment. The flavors danced in harmony, the temperature was just right, and for a moment, I felt like I had truly ascended. The ambiance of this place? Calm, inviting, full of positive frequencies. People chatted, read, worked, all in a state of peaceful flow. You could feel the creativity and good energy buzzing in the air. Some say you can't manifest happiness in a cup, but I'm here to tell you--you absolutely can. If you're ever in Midland, set your intention, walk into Live Oak, and let the magic happen.

    The best thing I can say about this place is that the building is absolutely beautiful. It's large,…read morethere's tons of seating, I'm also assuming there are outlets to go with that seating so you could work in there if you wanted. It's connected to other businesses. Although they care far more about their drive-through than those other businesses because definitely one of them has an external door that you would have to cross the drive-through to get to, which is just rude. But that's honestly where all the stars end. The coffee is mediocre. The menu is mediocre. You can get whatever you get everywhere else here and it will taste fine. There's zero originality in their menu. Where it truly goes downhill is their employees. How are you going to be two blocks from downtown Midland and not have any awareness of the area and be able to direct an out-of-towner to a nice place to walk? Perhaps I have high hopes for the intellectual capabilities of barista's in a medium sized town's coffee shop, but these employees are sure to disappoint you if you want to do anything other than order coffee and get your order. Whatever you do, don't expect any level of conversation. They absolutely cannot deliver. On top of that, their motto appears to be "love people," but that only extends so far as I guess their customers. They love people except for when they employ those people. When they employ those people, they love to micromanage them and force them to have an outdated dress code of black shirts. What are they some sort of indentured servant? Go somewhere else. All you can find in this coffee shop is boring.
