A great surprise! I was in the mood for breakfast but not the usual fare. Lucky me! I happened onto Caffe FarBella. The menu items are diverse for a coffee house. With light jazz playing in the background and inviting surroundings I enjoyed a Corned beef and Swiss quiche. Super great crust and well seasoned. Definitely a return location for this. Bonus: the staff is friendly and accommodating.

I have been here twice. The workers were really friendly. The atmosphere is nice and laid back. Their breakfast sandwiches are really good. Haven’t tried their desserts but they look great. You can sit outside weather permitting. Easy parking located in downtown St Clair Shores. Will be returning soon.

Jack and Karen prepare wonderful sandwiches on a variety of breads and there are always great soups that change daily. Friday is mac & cheese day Karen's specialty.

I had a sandwich which was ok, and a brownie which was rock hard. Must have been made a day or two before. When I mentioned the brownie was very hard to the owner, he just looked at me (like oh well to bad), and did nothing about it. Don't recommend this place

The food is ok, soup and sandwiches. When I asked some questions about the food, the owner (who takes your order) was rude and didn't want to be bothered. Not a friendly place and I do not recommend it.

Caffe Far Bella is a gem for lunch in St. Clair Shores. Ingredients are fresh and sandwiches are inventive. This week, I had the turkey and Swiss on multi-grain bread; the turkey is fresh sliced and the portion is what I would expect at a first-rate cafe. I have had quiche on previous visits, which was also very good. Service is friendly (order at the counter and the meal is brought to the table) and the atmosphere is casual. It is a great place to meet friends for lunch or a cup of coffee (lots of choices) and pastry. I highly recommend.

The owners of this restaurant are very friendly and have the right idea how to run a cafe. The menu is extensive from homemade soups and sandwiches to upscale selections. Way more then just a coffee shop! This is a gem in our city.

Quiet, friendly, like cheers - they know your name. You hope they do not get bigger and lose their charm.

We were attending an outdoor festival and market when lunch time beckoned. My wife went to a very nice looking restaurant (which happened to be across the street from Cafe FarBella) and texted me after one hour to say she'd just been waited on. Add another 45 minutes before she returned to our vendor booth. I decided to try Cafe FarBella and what a wonderful meal! I tried one of their specials for the festival (Polish sausage) and a latte. Both were excellent. Add to that a wonderful family feel, welcoming staff and a pleasant environment...what's not to love?

I've had the pleasure of having lunch at this establishmnet several times over the past year. The food is always simple and fresh and very tastey. Their roasted corn chowder soup is out of this world. Love this place and make a special stop everytime I'm in St Clair shores for business.

Café FarBella has great food, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. It is evident after dinning at Cafe FarBella that the owners care very highly about quality and freshness when it comes to the food they serve to their guests. Jack and Karen seem to know everyone that walks through the door including me after the first time I visited. The friendly faces and the beautiful etiquette makes Cafe FarBella feel like home every time I have visited.

Wonderful variety of coffee drinks and teas, and a great selection of soups, salads, sandwiches, and other homespun dishes. The owners make you feel like you're a guest in their own dining room. Come in and feel the love and have a taste of home. Simply da best!

The coffee is only a small part of the great cafe. The baked goods are fresh and delicious. The soup is awesome, I highly recommend the mushroom brie soup, and the lobster bisque. The service is always friendly and welcoming.

Have been faithful visitors since Jack & Karen opened the place. Yes, after your first visit you'll be on a first name basis with the owners. Soups are out of this world. Coffee bar is stocked with every kind of syrup imaginable - including the sugar free versions. Love going in and being able to say, "Jack - surprise me. Just hold the sugar." Every surprise has been fabulous. Highly recommend the Almond Joy Latte!
