Thee Old Fashioned Gentleman — Restaurant in Shelby Charter Township

Don’t live in area. Was picking up an edible arrangement in same plaza. Arrangement not quite ready so told Ben we would be back in 10 minutes. We planned on going to get coffee. He quickly assured us we were making a good decision going there. So off we went while our arrangement was being finished up. Atmosphere cool, relaxing and busy! We ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches, a hummus toast and 3 coffee drinks . A bit pricey at $45 .. as that averages $7.50 a item.. But with being said everything was fresh and delicious! Had to do a review on the hummus toast because I’ve had it other places and by the time u eat it the toast is so soggy and nasty. These gentlemen know the right way. Toast was done perfectly , not to much hummus and feta.. veggies crispy and fresh . So where hard work and care is put into what u do, just know I appreciate you . Keep up the great work . Never compromise quality for quantity! When I’m back in area will definitely swing on by .. Congrats on...

To start with, I love the theme of this place, which is the old fashioned gentleman, which is refreshing in today's world.

I like antiques and old fashioned things, I like coffee and I am a gentleman.

In the logo of the place there is a picture of Tom Swift, if you remember those popular books.

There is a chef here, and the food is worth trying, for sure. Lots of great menu items to choose from.

There's also lots of merch to browse.

I asked if this was a chain, and they said no, it's one of a kind.. and it is.

The only curiosity to me is that the owners don't appear to be old fashioned, unless you consider the late 1960s old fashioned. :-) I suppose it's all relative.

Lovely people, friendly service, great coffee and food (and great looking cold drinks too).

Outside tables available.

You...

Food and service is "meh" at best... And unless your name is "Rob", you won't be receiving 5-star treatment 🤷🏼‍♀️ Being the closest coffee and breakfast shop to where I've worked for 7 years, their flavored coffee is overwhelmingly sweet, the amount of cream cheese put on bagels is the equivalent to half a tub, and "special instructions" (like checking 'yes' to whipped cream) are ignored while being prepared in front of you. I've also never seen some items listed on their online menu ever actually available? Working so close, I often check their menu as an option but have never seen some items actually available... Not sure why they choose to list anything they never plan on stocking for... Drive another mile down the road...
