Nena's Cooper Cafe — Restaurant in Cooper Charter Township

I never leave bad reviews and this really isn’t a bad review about the food or the staff. It’s about the prices, I literally almost fell over when I was handed a bill for $58 for a family of 3 for breakfast. Here’s the breakdown… 1/2 order of biscuits and gravy, side of bacon, soda for my wife. 1 pancake, side of bacon and water for my son. 1 order of hash with 2 eggs and toast with a side of hashbrowns and a soda for me.

$58 seems like I fed a family of 6. Maybe I’m out of touch but I can get a full dinner at Texas Roadhouse with steak and beer for less than what I just spent for breakfast. I should have stayed and had the bill broken down to see how that amount of food came to $58. Again, the food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was good and I was hoping to have found a new breakfast spot but at close to $60 before tip that will be the first and last time I’m able to go there. If someone from the restaurant reads this please let me know how that order came to...

A GREAT Saturday morning breakfast experience. They have live music Saturday mornings starting at 9:30-12:00 (I think). Blue Grass, banjo, guitar, varied other instruments. I like taking my grandchildren there to hear a different style music. Usually, service is very good, there has been a couple of times we waited a little long for our food. We were able to keep the little ones entertained by letting them go over close and watch the guys play their instruments, or show them the train that goes around near the ceiling. It is not a big place, but it is a great experience, the food is good and the prices will not bust the bank:) Fun time. I have never been there for anything...

The atmosphere is almost exactly what you'd expect from a local favorite diner - quaint and cozy, allowing the food and service to shine through. Very friendly place where you feel like a local even if you aren't. The highlight for me though is the Saturday morning (and Wednesday mornings too I believe) Bluegrass Breakfast. I was told that the "The Lonesome Moonlight Trio" has been jamming together for some thirty years and boy do they bring their love for their music to liven up the atmosphere. They're located a bit north of the city of Kalamazoo but well worth...
