"Amazing food we'll drive to Coloma from Stevensville from now on when we want Mexican food. And talk about service: I left my credit card and the waiter ran out out to us. Easily as good as any food we had when we lived in Pontiac, and better than any other we've had since we moved back Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5"

"What a wonderful blast from the past. This place reminded me of the small town cafe my dad would go to meet his buddies for coffee and breakfast. It is very local, you open the door and everyone looks to see who’s coming in, not to judge but to see which friend is arriving. Not filled with screen zombies, rather people talking about life and razzing each other. Might not be the atmosphere for everyone but it is for me. I’m lucky to live a few blocks away! The food, I had a 1/2 order of the garbage plate and a side of chicken fried steak. Wow, the chicken fried steak with their made from scratch gravy was unbelievably tasty and crunchy. So good. The garbage plate is biscuits with American fries and gravy on top and an egg crowning it. Again very tasty, the gravy is very good, thick and seasoned perfectly, egg cooked as requested and American fries lightly browned. Very satisfying breakfast. The staff were friendly and attentive. I felt very welcomed for my first visit. Happy I finally stopped at this gem of a cafe, don’t be put off by the reviews about feeling outcast if not local, I experienced none of that. This will be one of my go to breakfast places while I’m living here. Come on in and enjoy!"

"This is our regular go-to restaurant, we eat there 3-4 times a month- the food is very good! Everything we have had is good. The burritos, tortas tongue tacos are our favorites so far. They are making their own ice cream and frozen fruit bars-very good too. Staff is terrific. Service is quick. Definitely give it a try."

"We had reservations for a Friday night a couple weeks ago. First time visit. We drove 45 mins in heavy rain and were so glad to arrive.(Backstory: when we made the reservation we asked about the music and no limitations were given to us so we figured we were good. We wanted to see our friends who knew the band and eat dinner/have drinks/relax.)The host stand is in the entry area next to the bar. There are a few tables out in this bleak, chilly entryway, which is all you can see. The host asks if we have a reservation and seats us literally right next to the host stand. What we don’t know/weren’t told is that there are 2 other rooms, the last of which is where the music will be starting in 45 mins. Oh well. We sit and assume we will be trampled by the dinner rush on their way to better seating areas.Someone nice comes over and offers us a different table because I had said we were there to see the band. We are glad to move. Now we are directly in front of the stage in the back room and the party is already so loud we can’t hear. (We will later realize the acoustics of this room -designed with that stage/setup in mind- are awful and echoey and we are all going to be deaf by the end of the night.)Anyway Brandon comes to take our order. We get drinks. For how busy they got since we arrived our food was fairly timely, I thought. The very impressive-looking menu we had researched is based on about a cup of garlic per plate. It stuck with us for days. Boyfriend’s short ribs were so dry. The risotto was sad and pasty. That ceasar salad is pretty great tho.As we needed refills and had been passed by at least 3 times, we had to go ask Brandon (who was standing by the drink station watching the show). These poor servers have no hustle, don’t know their menus and do not multitask. Meanwhile the big table is howling louder than the band and we need to leave before we have an aneurysm.What a mess. Then apparently the toilets all started to overflow and we escaped. It’s such a cool building and they have good ideas, but falls so far from the mark. You can’t sustain your new customer base with high prices and soggy zucchini. We will come back someday, maybe, if we can sit outside and we don’t have to worry about getting out of there in one piece doused in garlic."

"I'm still giving a positive rating because the ice cream is still fantastic. However, it's obvious that there's been a change in management this year. Some things have shifted, especially with the food. Today, I ordered nachos, and they were quite disappointing—the cheese was cold, as if it had just come straight from the fridge and been dumped onto a bowl of overly salty chip crumbles. I will definitely return, but only for the ice cream."
