The Fave’s French Press Cafe — Restaurant in Genoa Charter Township

Had an appointment with a urologist on Monday 10/13 inside the Genoa medical building where this place is located. Stopped in here after to get a coffee & a muffin. The very young woman who looked fresh out of HS was working behind the counter. She was heavily involved with her phone sitting in a stool like a lot of young people are. But she stood up & asked if she could help me. And I said, yes a water, medium coffee, a banana nut muffin please. She said, your coffee will be over there at the counter. A woman who looked a lot like her (assuming her mother) girlfriend my coffee for me. I then noticed they forgot my water. While I was standing there waiting I noticed a hair tie with hair stuck in it just sitting there on the counter right in front of me. I told her about it & she said, oh someone must’ve left it. I said, well that’s actually gross. She forgot my muffin so I had to ask for it because she sat down & went right back to her phone. Then I noticed piece of hair stuck to my straw after I opened it. I didn’t want to get upset about it because that actually could have fallen off my head since I do have long hair. I did ask for another water tho. I then go to sit down at the tables there & noticed some of the tables were very dirty. The one directly next to me had crumbs all over the table & chair. This place is disgusting. I saw the other woman working mostly in the back while her “likely” daughter just sitting there on her phone. I’ll never go back in...

I have been going here for months and it used to be my absolute favorite place to get coffee and to eat. I went in today and was surprised by the eye roll that I was greeted with from the lady behind the counter. She asked me what I wanted and I told her a hot chocolate with no whip and then began to ask for a decaf coffee (and I got a little side tracked… which I do often from brain injury) and I told her oh shoot, the girl that usually works here knows what I get… and then she sternly and firmly with aggression piped off with its her and her sister which are the usual girls. I informed her with that kind of attitude I will go elsewhere. I don’t know why she had such an attitude. I have never experienced that from this...

So excited to have finally tried this gem! I love the French press coffees, it's an experience, they give you the mug (if you request it rather than the paper cup, I prefer the mug), and the French press with a timer, and you get to press and pour when it's ready. I love the flavored coffees, ones that don't have sugar and they have a nice selection.

Only suggestion I could make is to maybe add a nice comfy sofa or couple of padded chairs and a little table, it would work great in the area by the door for those who want to just relax rather than work, eat, and drink at the tables.

Such a cute, relaxing area, staff are always friendly and helpful and willing to...
