What a GREAT find in little old Cheboygan. Fresh, delicious, and just amazing. Plenty of choices. Unique ingredients, and everything I have tried has been house made. I have never tried anything here that I didn't like.
Everyone we have brought here or recomended it to has absolutly loved it. If you are visiting Cheboygan, Indian River, or Mackinaw City this place has to be on your list. Most folks don't venture out of Mackinaw City when they visit, but just take a scenic drive down 23 along the shore of Lake Huron to Cheboyan and have the best breakfast or lunch in all of Cheboygan or Mackinaw City.
My favorites are the Aussie Meat Pies, the twisted BLT (yummy thick cut bacon with chipolte mayo), the Michigan cherry salad, and the desserts are to die for!!! Don't miss the bannoffee pie if you are lucky to get a slice before they sell out. Or just buy a whole pie!! Cupcakes, peach pie, cream puffs. They are all good and made with love.
The owners are fantastic people and really make you feel welcome. I wish you guys all the success in the biz.
Some of the reviews mention slow service, but am alway in and out for lunch (including dessert) in less than an hour. I work in downtown Cheboygan and only get an hour for lunch and I've never been late getting back!
Thank you for bringing this dining experience to Cheboygan! It is truly appreciated and needed!!
As good as it gets in Cheboygan and a stand out in any town for sure. This is hands down the best place for breakfast in northeast Michigan. The Aussie chef really out does herself and the staff is friendly even if they bumble around a bit, it's al part of the charm.
Crepes are excellent sweet and savory an offer the option of whole wheat. The baked goods are fantastic. I can't pass up the crème puffs!  But the star here has to be the frittatas. Potatoes (white or sweet) on the bottom, your selected toppings and loads of cheese. A variety of homemade toasted breads to select from and oh my I can't finish the whole thing but it is soooo tasty.
Don't expect fast service. Cooking takes time and it's all made onsite. So sit back, relax and make friends with the people at the table next to you. It's that kind of place.
My family and I were camping in the Cheboygan area and we needed to eat at a place with outdoor seating (we had our dog with us.) We ordered the cranberry, chicken, and 5 blend cheese savory crepes. They were the best dinner crepes i've had in a LONG time. The service also exceeded our expectations. The staff was very friendly and the owner(?) brought my dog out a bowl of water and a plate of grilled chicken! He was in heaven! The man also killed some bees that were buzzing around us while we ate. Now that's service!
Review Source:Very nice menu. The ingredients are fresh, many things housemade, and the flavors are unique in Cheboygan. We have brought friends who are vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free and all have been kindly treated, their requests considered thoughtfully and graciously. This is by far the most accommodating restaurant in Cheboygan for dietary restrictions.
My husband loves the Monte Cristo (on the breakfast menu), I like the panini and salads. We tried the pasties but wouldn't do it again, they're just not in the same league as the UP pasties across the bridge. There are some Australian specialties, like Aussie meat pies and Banofee pie (the owner is Australian), but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. Looking forward to it!
The cafe itself is casual, small, and tables are close together, so it's not the best environment for private conversations. Also, the owner's husband likes to chat! ;) The outdoor seating is made enjoyable by the shade umbrellas, even if the view is not the greatest. That being said, I appreciate the efforts that have been made by the owner to diversify the dining scene in Cheboygan.
As a Cheboygan Native that dreads the food options when I return home, I was pleased to see this place redone again.  I stopped in for a few minutes before they closed (around 3 PM) but the staff was courteous and didn't seem impatient for me to leave  I ordered some soup and salad - both were pretty cafe classic but tasty and fresh.  I am always pleased to see things like goat cheese and homemade chunky tomato soup.  Free Wi-Fi and light, fresher food in this city is well needed and I would definitely recommend.
