PetalPop Café, a floral-themed brunch restaurant that opened in March, chose a very clever and fitting location: a former flower shop. Anyone familiar with the Genesee neighborhood will know that up until 2010, the pair of brick buildings on Ionia Street, known as the Bailey Buildings, used to house Belen’s Flowers.
The café has an appropriately bright and cheery atmosphere. While the space is small and can get busy during the lunch hour, the service is relatively fast. The menu items are also a must for avid brunchers, with a wide variety of omelets, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches and specialty craft sodas.
