Blue Heron Cafe

Small but varied menu makes any choice a good one. We each tried something different and NONE of us were disappointed. I love that their menu includes a section showing what local farmers, etc, that they get their food from. I'd definitely go back, and recommend it to anyone visiting (...or local!) that like to try the local cuisine.

Great restaurant! The Indian Chicken curry was very authentic and very well done. The portobello sandwich was excellent. You must try the donuts and cookies!! The service is excellent, and the family of owners is very hospitable. If you are near Cadillac, MI you should definitely stop here!

Great little cafe. Counter with nice selection of baked goods. Sandwiches feature unique combinations, all of which are very tasty. Prompt and friendly service. Prices are a bit high, but well worth it.

When a place does something right, they don't need a menu that is 4 pages. That is the quality of Blue Heron Cafe. First of all, they source much of their food from local farms. Win #1. I got the Dearborn ham sandwich. The homemade sourdough bread was grilled, the ham was cut from a ham ( not shavedvham) & it was grilled. Between the bread was herb flavored mayo and a cherry spread with spinach. Win #2. I ordered the lunch special which was a half sandwich, a salad that was lightly dressed in a deliciously sweet vinaigrette, and a cup of cheesy onion soup that was utter perfection for $11.95. Wins#3, 4 & 5. It was supposed to finish with a cookie, but they were out of cookies and allowed us to choose anything out of their bakery case. We had the choice of muffins, cinnamon rolls or donuts. I chose a cranberry almond muffin that had great presentation but fell flat on flavor. Wait staff was spot on and incredibly helpful. I will definitely go back there to try the chicken sandwich my brother in law got that had apple butter on it. I sampled my sister's chicken soup that was very flavorful and I would guess homemade.

Wife's omelette was great. Multi grain bowl was oat meal. Not recommended unless you want a too large bowl of oatmeal. Good pastries.
