    My experience this past Saturday afternoon was marvelous. My first time at The Breakfast Loft, a decent atmosphere. The staff and management were very patient and cordial. The items on the buffet were very delicious. I would consider coming back again with friends on a Saturday.

    Carla's Claiming 50 hosted her birthday brunch and the food was amazing. Fresh food was replenished timely. I got a nice hot birthday stack of pancakes with a candle to boot.

    The food was just ok, not much variety for a buffet. Looks very dated inside. My credit card was charged more then what was on receipt. I was told by waitress that they hold 20% gratuity on credit cards because of all the “fraud”. Was never told anything about this ridiculous policy before hand. Not impressed about anything with this restaurant. Will not return!!

    My friend and I went on a Saturday. We thought this place was WAY overpriced. $25 for a buffet. They didn't have a omelette station. The food was mediocre at best. The coffee was $2.50 with an additional charge for refills. (No one told us that) The waiter was super nice though. Ambience was very nice too. The music they were playing was hip/hop rap. So to each it's own on that one.

    Celebrated a birthday and made reservation the same day so it all worked out wonderfully. Met the owner who gave us a gift. Food was buffet style but the peach cobbler was wonderful. The chicken and grits was on point.

    Decor was nice, vibe was cool, food variety for Sunday brunch buffet was good. Just need to keep the food warmer and stocked quicker. Definitely worth patronizing.

    It is a nice attribute to down town Detroit. We went on a Sunday it was all you can eat brunch buffet. It was $23 or $25 per person. We (my husband and I) also got the mimosa 1liter container for $20 and it got us both about 3 glasses a piece. Why I Love was that there was. Large variety of food. I don’t eat pork and they had my favorite turkey bacon, also chicken, and fish. And a full array of pastries and salads. They also had a omelette station I took some of the turkey bacon over to make mine. I didn’t like that I was charged an extra $10 without being advised luckily I got the notification right than and I asked them. The owner came over and explained and I was fine with it but just wish I would have been warned well in advance like before ordering, they say it’s a fraud protection hold and it’s released with in 24 hours which is not true it takes longer so they need to get a better understanding cause it’s based on how much your bill is so it could be higher and may cause a problem when it’s a larger party so you may want to pay cash. Also I wish they would have had labels in front of the food because somethings I didn’t get because I didn’t know what it was. But overall it’s a nice place they are still working out the kinks because it’s only been open a month but I would recommend.

    I loved it the atmosphere was soooooo positive and beautiful the owner and chef were so cool and the food was sooooo good but the MIMOSAS did it for me I had to order TWO Craft Pitchers and my waitress with the red hair and lip piercing was AMAZING had no issues at all!! I am definitely coming back soon!!

    Decent place for Sunday brunch. Came here for my birthday was it was nice. Good selection for breakfast, just need to expand on dinner options. Also, no immediate access to condiments, so was constantly looking for waitress to bring butter, hot sauce, jam, etc. The birthday waffle was a nice treat for the birthday after our meal.
