I absolutely LOVED this bakery! I myself am a self-made baker and appreciate walking in and knowing that this indeed isn't a mock "homemade" bakery. Everything was fresh and the cashier said nothing is out of a box. We went online and got a few coupons; one for a buy one get one 1/2 off any loaf of bread and... More

This is the place in South Haven for excellent pastries or home down breakfast. Can't go wrong here and the prices are very reasonable.

I have never see this volume of selection in such a small town. We stopped in to see South Haven after having moved away over 30 years ago and remember their always being a bakery in that spot. All their products are baked on site. My wife had a blueberry scone and I had a cranberry scone. These were light... More

Perhaps the best bakery in all of Michigan. Worth a trip to South Haven. We had an awesome breakfast and left with several yummy pastries.

This place has a selection that'll please every palet. We had a hard time deciding what to buy - they all looked delicious. And they tasted even better! You'll you'll find a wonderful selection of pastries and employees glad to serve you.

We all get our bake goods here but even though no other choice we are lucky to have them. Good deals all around and has a nice little cafe for quick meal.

We had lunch here on a Saturday around 1:30 PM. The crowd had pretty much cleared out, and it was quick and easy to get in line for the cafeteria style service. We each got the sloppy Joe sandwich with a pickle, chips and a drink. The sandwich was hot and tasty, with just enough spices. The place was clean... More

Golden Brown has been around for a VERY long time. It's fun to walk downtown (or drive) and let everyone pick out their favorite sweet treat in the morning. They alsoserve a cafeteria style breakfast and lunch that it very "down home."

This restaurant has potential but cafeteria style ordering coupled with an extremely slow kitchen makes for a bad experience on a Sunday morning. Over :30 wait for scrambled eggs -nothing fancy.
