Half Day Cafe — Restaurant in Rochester Hills

This may be one of the best restaurants for breakfast and lunch in Metro Detroit. When you walk in and enter the que line for ordering, you're met right away with a big city deli feel, able to visually see the amazing baked goods, cold hearty side dishes, and the appearance of their soups. The line cook is busy assembling amazing food, and you can see the preparation process. The cashier was friendly and helpful, not rushing or indifferent.

I ordered a menu staple that included a half order of cinnamon French toast, two eggs any style, and one meat choice. I added cheddar to my scramble, and the food was delivered hot and accurate. The price was under $8 and the portion was not only HUGE, but so appealing visually.

The dining room was full, but the tables were turning because of the fast and friendly dedication of two amazing workers, one whom was named Maggie. She was busy clearing tables, refilling coffee or drinks (which is not expected because the drinks are self-service) and doing it all with a smile. You can tell the two working the floor love their jobs.

The dining room is well lit, smells amazing, and is incredibly clean.

They offer free wifi, two tables with outlets for computer use or device charging, and the drink refill stations anchor the front and back of the establishment with Coke products and a coffee bar offering many options.

Booth seating, tables, one large high top for eight, and mixed seating is available.

You will not be disappointed with your dining...

This local restaurant in Michigan has it's positive and negatives regarding accessibility. The door to the restaurant is narrow, a single door, which could be problematic for someone in a wheelchair for example, it is also a pull door with a small handle, which could also present difficulties for someone. Upon entering, the line to order food also intersects with tables for seating creating a very narrow area, but also a very overstimulating one. The kitchen is not blocked off by a full wall, thus the sounds from the kitchen, staff, and people eating presents a very noisy environment that could be overstimulating for some, and also make it challenging for someone with a hearing impairment to hear. Though this could present an issue for someone, the website offers the menu and screen reading is available, thus this could help someone determine what they want to eat prior to going inside, which could aid the audio issue but also prevent anxiety around ordering in a busy and loud area. There are three big windows at the front, and on a sunny day there is nothing to block it, which could be another barrier to accessibility. The tables in the restaurant are a positive as there are many different kinds, high top, low top, and booths, which allows people to chose what they prefer, and could also allow for more accessibility. The bathrooms at the back of the restaurant have wide doors, are very large, and are singles, which could help if someone needed more space in the bathroom for...

I wanted to give this more stars but, I couldn't believe how nasty the over flow of the pop machine was. It was a milky, slimy looking white stuff in the over flow and it smelled. I did mention it to one of the employees, she nodded her head and walked away. When I went to throw my garbage away, I noticed it still wasn't clean. Have no idea what it was but, it was disgusting. The sandwich was ok but nothing like the picture. Very little meat. The grill on it was perfect. The roasted vegetables made me laugh. Asparagus stems, lots of onions and peppers. A few tiny pieces of broccoli and a few small slices of carrots. Should have taken a picture. First time eating there, hopefully if I go back. the area around the pop machine (where all the utensils are) and the machine it's self has been cleaned up. I also forgot to add, the table wasn't just wobbly, the whole table top was shifting if you tried to move it at all. I believe I could have lifted it off, that is how...
