Awesome experience. I was a little worried at first seeing how young the staff is but they were awesome!! Super nice and knew how to make the drinks well. Loved it. The food is awesome and the drinks were delicious. I couldn't get enough of the raspberry bliss!

I've been here once before and the good experience we had the first time brought us back! First off let me say Clare is one of the most charming small towns I've been too, it's worth a stop even if you're just passing by... STOP! You won't be disapointed. So since you've stopped have a meal at the 505... Great service, (our server Liz was beyond great!) with that being said the food service was a little slow but not due to the service staff or kitchen... they were slammed, working hard and not stopping! The staffs friendliness never wavered despite the rush and we appreciated it! Great food and a bright airy historic atmosphere. Check out the 505 Cafe and the rest of Clare. Thank you Liz... we'll be back.

Love this little coffee shop! Great atmosphere, awesome service, tasty food and a nice variety. Only disappointment is that they close at 3 & I wish they were open in the late afternoons as well. Would recommend and will be back!

This was simply amazing! Service was great! The mimosas was amazing! We got bottomless and my favorite was the strawberry lemon! Food was hot and came out in big portions ! I will be getting the cinnamon roll waffle next time! The whip cream taste homemade! I live an hour away and will be making that drive!

Amazing place. They handled my dairy allergy with professionalism and made my smoothie bowl dairy free. And they did it with a smile. And it was delicious. Will definitely be back

We went in yesterday for a quick breakfast. When I asked our server, at 9:59, if there was a chance we’d be out in time for my husband to make a 10:30 appointment, she told us she’d let the kitchen know. She was very friendly about this! We almost always have friendly service at 505 Cafe!
