Housed in a quaint building that was once the local dairy, Macomb‘s aptly named, Old Dairy provides excellent food, in a clean environment that pays homage to it’s original tenant.

Open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. they offer a full breakfast menu that’s available ALL DAY with creative breakfast favorites that include fresh omelets, biscuits & gravy, fresh baked muffins, eggs to order, and home to their famous made-from-scatch, warm, buttery, gooey Homemade Grilled Cinnamon Rolls. Oh. Those. Cinnamon Rolls!

Lunch/supper consists of a variety of sandwiches, quiches, fresh salads, and homemade soups, served by the friendliest staff. The Old Dairy Cafe & Bakery also has a full-service coffee bar to fuel the espresso lover. And if you’re hungry for Grandma’s homemade pie? Their flakey crust, made from scratch pies are sublime, and are available whole and by the slice! They also have homemade cookies, cakes, and brownies available one at a time or by the pan. And what dairy worth it’s salt wouldn’t have ice cream? Cones, sundaes, novelties, shake or malts, The Old Dairy‘s got ’em.

With overstuffed chairs and couches where you can relax, study, read your favorite book, play games or meet with your friends, it’s easy to understand why The Old Dairy‘s one of Macomb’s central meeting places.

How do you find them?

Then stop in and unwind with a bottomless cup of their delicious exclusive blended coffee and a piece of unbelievable homemade pie. You’ll be really glad you did.
