Know that the owner has taken pains to preserve and enhance the beauty of this older space. Wood burning fireplace in back seating area, gorgeous wood and glass door coolers and bakery case, tile flooring and lots of woodwork. Some nice bespoke items for sale including Wiley lotion and soap, locally-made incense and oils, and a few other dainties. Our cappuccinos were delicious and service was welcoming. Baked goods are sourced from Crust - a Michigan company that is delicious (Westborn and several other Detroit-area markets sell their Fenton-baked goodies). Noticed the bagged coffee beans for sale are from California. Wondering why not sell local Michigan roasted beans? Will return.

The place was nice and clean and had a nice coffee shop vibe. Freshly made brussel waffles and the combo leige waffles were fantastic. My husband had the bacon and egg waffle and the croquet madame waffle. I had the bistro bonanza waffle which included burrata, Avocado, arugula, and an egg with some chili oil on top. We shared the banana chocolate brussels waffle. The chef was even kind enough to give us a sample of a waffle she was trying out! Will definitely be back again soon!

Well who can say no to a fresh waffle? This place is a very nice surprise. They have both sweet and…read moresavory waffles. I tried both and was not disappointed. The dark salted chocolate is a Belgian waffle but not your typical "we just used pancake mix to make your waffle". It was amazingly crunchy, sweet and satisfying. Also ordered the protein coffee and it wasn't so hot it would strip the tastebuds off my tongue but a very sensible "hot" coffee. You order at a kiosk and it's nice that they have a picture of every offering on the wall. Service is good. At least to me, place isn't very whimsical as I found the place very plain. Yes, I saw one round elven door but had no idea there were others. It's nice that they had toys and a table for the little ones but placement could have been better or more separated out since toys are between a regular table and the kids table. I assume if more children showed up it would be a bit challenging to be the table so very close to the toys. That said, sit away from the toys and make sure to order one of their delicious offerings!

This place has been on my radar for a couple weeks now, since the popped up on a breakfast search…read more It's a bit of a drive for me, but I made it a point to get by as soon as I could because what's better than waffles and chicken?? First, the location. I had doggo with me so went through the drive through. There is signage, but you still have to look for it. Drive through is on the back side of the building. Don't be scared, it was an easy process. The hardest part was figuring out what to order! Second, Service was quick and friendly but the speaker is a bit quiet, so be sure to turn your radio down so y'all can hear each other. The price! I ordered the #1 chicken and waffles plate and added on a small ice caramel coffee for a grand total of UNDER $12. That's extremely reasonable, imo. Finally, I ordered the chicken and waffles that I'd been staring at the past few weeks. The chicken tenders were crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned so as not to overshadow the waffles. The waffle was fresh and hot, not too sweet, and complemented the chicken and syrup. The iced caramel coffee, while sweet, didn't make me feel like I was just drinking sugar. I could still taste the coffee, and it wasn't bitter either! So, basically, don't miss a visit to Elsa's!! So yummy and a local business. Support local!!

We loved everything about this place! It's a Sunday afternoon and we're still visiting our youngest…read moredaughter and her husband here in Flint. They've been taking us to all sorts of places that fit our style and taste perfectly, and somehow every stop has managed to outdo the last. This one, though? This one felt like stepping into another world entirely. The moment we walked in, we just stood there for a second taking it all in. The entire restaurant is wrapped in this romantically dark, eclectic elegance that somehow feels both upscale and comfortably dramatic at the same time. Exposed brick walls, glowing chandeliers hanging overhead like something from an old European theater, deep crimson curtains, antique-style artwork, velvet seating, and richly colored vintage furniture scattered throughout the dining room -- it looked less like a restaurant and more like the private lounge of someone far wealthier and more interesting than us. Frankly, I felt underdressed and emotionally unprepared for the furniture. One seating area had this gorgeous red Victorian-style loveseat paired with marble tables and ornate framed paintings that practically demanded you sip something expensive while discussing literature you haven't actually read. The dining room itself stretched into this moody maze of warm lighting, plush seating, and intimate corners that somehow made the whole place feel luxurious without becoming pretentious. It's the kind of atmosphere where even whispering feels classy. And then the food arrived. Now listen -- the prices initially caused a brief moment of silent marital eye contact. You know the look. The one that says, "Well... this had better be life-changing." Thankfully, by the first bite, the entire conversation was over. Suddenly the menu made perfect sense. Everything tasted boutique and intentionally crafted, like the chef personally judged every ingredient before allowing it onto the plate. The flavors were layered, rich, and unique without trying too hard to be "creative." This wasn't one of those places where they put lavender foam on a potato and call it innovation. This was refined, high-end comfort with artistry behind it. Every dish felt carefully balanced -- deep savory flavors, subtle sweetness where it belonged, textures that actually mattered, and presentation beautiful enough that we all paused before ruining it with our forks. Even the drinks matched the personality of the restaurant perfectly -- sophisticated, unusual, and just theatrical enough to make the experience feel special. The cocktail offerings felt curated instead of copied, with combinations that sounded slightly questionable until you tasted them and immediately understood the assignment. What impressed us most was that despite the upscale atmosphere, nothing felt cold or stiff. The entire experience remained warm, inviting, and genuinely enjoyable instead of trying to intimidate diners into pretending they understand wine notes involving "oak-forward melancholy" or whatever people say at places like this. We absolutely loved it and already decided we'll be returning before leaving the area. Some restaurants serve dinner. Others create an atmosphere you keep thinking about afterward. This place definitely belongs in the second category.

The cafe seems far more invested in cultivating an aesthetic than delivering quality food or…read morehospitality. Service feels slow and strangely disengaged, as though customers are interrupting the ambiance simply by ordering. What should feel warm and welcoming instead comes across as performative and inattentive. The food is especially disappointing considering the prices. The sandwiches are remarkably small and underfilled, leaving you wondering whether you accidentally ordered a half portion. The salads are even worse, which is essentially a pile of arugula. For a downtown business surrounded by residents and neighboring businesses, the lack of inclusion for the community and the repeated disregard for basic city noise expectations is difficult to ignore. Ultimately, Flint has several coffee shops that provide better food, better service, and a far more genuine sense of love for the community here.
