Cottage Garden Cafe

Quaint breakfast cafe/restaurant. I had Pentwater parfait $8ish and husband had fresh fruit bowl and short stack buttermilk pancakes. Pancakes were almost as big as the dinner plate they were served on. Husband said next time one will be enough. Very tasty. Waitress was attentive, polite and pleasant.

The place is really cute and has a unique ambiance. I tried the salmon omelette and the basile one. They were both really good. The homemade jam was amazing!

Enjoyed everything about this lovely cafe. Sat on the enclosed porch where the fresh air could be felt; they also have inside tables. I ordered the vegetarian omelet (made with asparagus, red pepper, scallions and feta) and it was delicious. Opted for the freshly baked English Muffin bread for my toast, topped with their homemade strawberry jelly. YUM. Gail, our server, was excellent, bringing me an extra of their homemade jelly for my toast. Thank you!

We are so happy we chose to stop in here for breakfast. The atmosphere is cozy and delightful. Our server Gail was so sweet and the food was great. They really made us feel at home! We will stop here every time we are back in the area!

Wow! We enjoyed our breakfast here very much. The servers brought out stickers and a coloring book and crayons for the kids. The veggie omelette was so delicious, and they even had gluten-free bread, veggie sausage, and homemade strawberry jam. We would definitely come back again! 😋

This is the cutest restaurant and the friendliest I felt like they were cooking just for us.

Wonderful breakfast. Also gluten free! So good. Nice place 🤗💖😋

Seriously the BEST breakfast i’ve ever had. we went in on a sunday morning and got served within 5 mins of ordering. we got the pumpkin pancakes and the greek quiche, so so amazing.

This place is a hidden gem, I almost don't want to tell you about it so it'll stay that way! 😄 They serve their own homemade freezer jam with every order of toast, you're not going to want to miss it, it tastes like the freshest, sweetest strawberry you ever had. The omlettes are very good, not at all your standard small diner quality. The decor is very simple and charming, the staff is always warm and friendly. We look forward to breakfast here every summer.

Great place for local food! Their seasonal pumpkin pancakes are amazing! The place is really cozy and cute! Had a great time!

Excellent breakfast. Cute atmosphere. Amazing homemade strawberry freezer jam served with my toast.

This was a fabulous little breakfast spot with a view of Pentwater lake. The food was great. Our waitress and the host were amazing! Lovely spot to check out if in the area. We will definitely be back!

Cute little breakfast place near the water. Not fancy but sweet, great service, excellent food. As I write this I am enjoying what is quite possibly the best omlet I've ever had. The eggs are so thin almost like a crepe... Seafood and asparagus with their housemade hollandaise. DELICIOUS!

Highly recommended! Skip your expensive coffee folks and get yourself to the Cottage Garden Cafe for a delicious hardy breakfast that provides energy all morning! I had the Veggie Gourmet. It was great! They were generous with the asparagus, just how I like it baby. Homemade jam to boot! Very pleasant experience. It was like sitting at grandma's kitchen table. Cute little place. Waitress was politte with a kind facial expression.

One of the cutest breakfast nooks! A small house like atmosphere. Very cozy and welcoming right off the water. Highly recommend!

As out-of-towners, we really enjoyed our quiet, simple breakfast here. My husband loved the cinnamon toast! We thought it was awesome that they use bakery fresh bread. Customer service was great as well, very patient with our toddler and very efficient.

A must for breakfast! I wish we would have found this out first day here!
Fresh homemade ingredients, very friendly, not your average breakfast choices either.
I had the Pentwater parfait which was wonderful with layers of fruit, yogurt and homemade granola. My husband had an omelette with the potatoes and cinnamon raisin bread. It was all wonderful. I should have taken pictures before they disappeared.
We will definitely be back the next time we are in Pentwater!

Wonderful place to have breakfast. Food was excellent and very reasonable. Service was outstanding. 5 🌟

Great breakfast spot in wonderful downtown near all the shops and waterfront. Service dogs welcome!

Always friendly, the staff here takes great pride in what they do. Efficient yet homey. Simple and flavorful. Lox is always good. Any omelet. Basile eggs are delicious but sometimes a simple cup of coffee and a sticky bun with some banter with Jen or Emily is the perfect breakfast. Expect a crowd on weekends, expect locals to bring out a harmonica solo or uke song to welcome the weekend, expect genuine friendliness, but don't expect to be disappointed.
