Blue Heron Cafe

Had a great breakfast at The Blue Heron!! Had a BIG breakfast at The Blue Heron, as a matter of fact my husband and I split it!
It was a good thing we got there when we did or we would have missed out on a donut, which we split too. A glazed cinnamon roll big enough to take some home. We enjoyed our meal. Next time we'll order extra grilled sourdough white toast...it was that good and get there early enough for a bigger donut choice. That's my recommendation get there early, order extra grilled toast and enjoy one of Northern Michigans best breakfasts!!

Delicious food. I had the lunch combination which is soup, a small salad and half a sandwich. I had Thai peanut soup, a small very fresh salad and a grilled sourdough chicken pesto feta sandwich. My partner had a BLT on deliciously homemade grilled bread. I had a oatmeal raisin cookie. He had a grilled cinnamon roll with frosting and peanuts on it and a chocolate chip cookie. We obviously couldn't eat all of the baked goods but they were delicious. Everything is made there. What a find!

Saturday We stopped at the Cafe for lunch. We had the light flight. Delicious food, squash soup was really good, coffee and cookie. Perfect start to our color tour around Cadillac. Highly recommend stopping in.

Small but varied menu makes any choice a good one. We each tried something different and NONE of us were disappointed. I love that their menu includes a section showing what local farmers, etc, that they get their food from. I'd definitely go back, and recommend it to anyone visiting (...or local!) that like to try the local cuisine.

Every time I go here, the food is spectacular and the staff is incredible.

My only complaint would be that they immediately bring my daughter water in a styrofoam cup with a plastic straw. I love the sentiment, but we don't use plastic or styrofoam as a general rule because it is awful for the environment.

Consistently good food with creative taste arrangements for over a decade. Breakfast here is always a treat, when I visit home I have to make a detour to the Blue Heron! Also the best nutty donut in Michigan.

Healthy and delicious! Squash breakfast bowl and beet grilled sandwich served on their famous sour dough bread were my favorites! Great service!

I have mixed reviews about my experience here. I hate to admit it, but my lunch was pretty good...not anything too impressive, but definitely not bad either. Service was lackluster. My waitress, Barb, was not the most friendly, but she didn't ignore me and everything came to my table in a timely order. My issue with my experience, hence reason for writing this, is that at the end of my lunch I witnessed about half of the restaurant clear out. (Mind you this was at 1:30pm, so past prime lunch time) I figured it wouldn't be a bother if I got a little work done on my laptop. When I requested the wifi password, my waitress told me that they "aren't allowed to give that out to customers". Mind you, I'd just ordered a tea and had every plan to order dessert as well.

I think it odd that A. a "cafe" wouldn't share their wifi....but when my waitress explained to me that "they wouldn't be able rotate tables" it made more sense...
No, not really.

Anyway, it is what it is....but if any of you are wanting to sit, relax, have a coffee or dessert and use wifi you should check out Kahvi down the road. The lattes are amazing.

Best breakfast and lunch spot in Cadillac Michigan. Reasonable prices and super friendly services.

Wife's omelette was great. Multi grain bowl was oat meal. Not recommended unless you want a too large bowl of oatmeal. Good pastries.
