“ Everything was delicious, made quickly, and the atmosphere was great! Felt like I was at home eating at the kitchen table without the mess and work! Thanks for starting my day off right!!! We will definitely be back! ”
“ I love this place! Every time I go to Michigan city I stop. Way better than Starbucks the coffee is never burnt, and it always tastes fresh and sweet. ”
“ Nice breakfast. Very good pastries. I don't know why some American food is presented on tin trays and greaseproof paper. Seems to be a thing. Tasted fine but I'd prefer a proper plate. Nice building. Trendy cafe in older part of town. Very busy. ”
“ After a "no go" at the nearby Dunkin', I was super pleased to find this fabulous little coffee shop! Inside, friendly service and lots of seating where I was able to plug in with my laptop and get about two hours worth of emailing done before it was time to move along. Great looking breakfast items and my large coffee was excellent. Delicious rich coffee, comfortable seating and a neat spot. Well worth the time here. ”
“ Lakeshore Cafe is a delightful establishment that pairs the allure of a coffee shop with the heartiness of a cafe. It proved to be an ideal setting for a leisurely breakfast, complete with exceptional coffee and a menu that tempts both the eye and the palate. I indulged in the Milky Way Frappuccino, a decadently sweet concoction that bridged the gap between beverage and dessert. Opting for the smaller size was a wise choice, as it packed the rich flavors of a dessert into a cup, perfectly satisfying my sweet tooth without overwhelming it. The star of the morning was the Lakeshore Scrambler sandwich. Nestled between slices of robust ciabatta bread, the sandwich was an ensemble of well-prepared breakfast staples, accompanied by a side of delectable potato chips that added a satisfying crunch to the meal. My companion's choice, the banana split parfait, was a visual and flavorful delight, offering a healthier yet indulgent alternative. We also shared a muffin, which was a delightful treat to round off the meal. Admittedly, the prices at Lakeshore Cafe veered towards the higher end of the spectrum, aligning more with what one might expect from a national chain rather than a local cafe. However, the unique ambiance of the cafe, with its charming decor and inviting atmosphere, made the cost more palatable. Adding to the overall enjoyment was the staff, whose friendliness and accommodation shone brightly. They ensured our experience was not just about good food but also about feeling welcomed and well-cared for. In conclusion, Lakeshore Cafe is more than just a convenient stop for shoppers at the nearby outlet mall—it's a destination in its own right. With its combination of delicious offerings, pleasant surroundings, and top-notch service, it's a place where the price tag becomes secondary to the joy of the experience. ”
“ I always struggle to find quick, healthy options when traveling, but this place hit the mark! Great, fresh-made sandwiches that offer fruit as a side. Excellent drinks. Friendly customer service. Very clean and well-kept place. If I lived closer, I'd find it hard not to visit every day. ”
“ Adorable coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Super excited to have TWO featured cold brew teas! ”
“ Went to Chicago last night to watch The Why Store play at Cubbys. Got up this morning and left the hotel. Decided to drive back roads to Indianapolis after cruising shoreline. We checked out the pier in Michigan City off route 12. Before heading south on 35 it was time for a good coffee. My wife googled and found Lake Shore Cafe. We stopped in. Wonderful .. It's absolutely wonderful. I plan on making a trip back here just to get a sandwich and coffee. Might even check out th city. Let the photos speak for what you're in-store for. You will love it.... ”
