Just tried Angela’s Cafe in downtown East Lansing! We had salads and a beef byrek (not pictured). Angela’s is a refreshing take on food options for downtown East Lansing giving healthier choices compared to the likes of most downtown East Lansing restaurants. We went for dinner but they seem to have a much more extensive breakfast and lunch menu that sounded amazing. Definitely will be back!

Great little cafe with great food and quiet atmosphere. My wife and I went during the 2025 East Lansing Art Fair, and got right in no problem. Food was great and I especially enjoyed the aioli that came with the cheeseburger. My only criticism would be the service, and it wasn’t the fault of the waiters. I think if Angela’s employed an order numbering system, I would have given all 5’s. After we paid, we just found a table, and didn’t quite know if we were going to get the items we ordered. We had to trust the process, which included 2 different waiters asking what we had ordered, and then reassuring us it would be right out. I think taking numbers similar to Culver’s number system, would improve their process tremendously, especially during busy times.

I wish I could put into words just how incredibly delicious this place was, we’ve been 4-5 times now and every time it has been exceptional. They make everything to order from fresh ingredients, there’s a genuine love for cuisine that the owners have that you can taste with every bite, there’s prices are also very very reasonable, it’s rare to find affordable quality like this now a days, What a wonderful experience, this brand new place is clean and beautiful, with fresh flowers on the table. Passing up the opportunity to try this place out would be a huge mistake. Please try one of the salads or baguette sandwiches! 10/10, welcome to the MSU family!
