Full-Circle Café & Espresso Bar exists for one sole purpose - to show the downtown Stevensville food scene some love. Offering a variety of delicious breakfast and lunch items, and scratch-made baked goods, with an eye on seasonality, sustainability, and local sourcing. All the while, focusing on giving back to the community that has given them so much. A full-service coffee bar featuring Michigan-roasted coffee and espresso drinks is available to compliment the food selections allowing guests to grab and go, or sit and stay for the free WiFi or to read the paper, meet a friend or colleague, or do some work in an internet café style setting.
After attending Lake Michigan College, Jayme spent several years bouncing back and forth, and even overlapping, between corporate America and the restaurant industry. In 2012, she finally found her true calling when she became a mother for the first time. This mom of two decided to add the title of home-baker to her repertoire, and armed with her passion for baking, oodles of historic family recipes and a few nudges along the way, Everything Sweet was launched. The business grew exponentially in a short time and her commitment to a community give-back program, and delicious recipes have earned her a loyal and raving following.
Local musician and food artist, Ryan Bendoski, has been cooking in his home kitchen for friends and family for years and has taken the cafe menu to all new heights. He has a passion for creating harmonious flavor combinations in his palate pleasing soups, sandwiches and specialty items like bacon hash, homemade sausage gravy and his infamous chorizo breakfast burritos. His background includes singing and playing guitar at local restaurants and wineries all year long.
The dynamic duo moved forward one of their long-time dreams of operating a café when the Heart of the Beaches Café became available in mid-2016. Their need for commercial kitchen space, combined with the need for a bakery storefront and order pick up spot, became an apparent winning combination with their complimentary baked goods. Adding the coffee and a café menu consisting of fresh, whole foods, and utilizing the existing beautiful space just seemed like the best next step.
The café is open 6 days a week Wednesday-Monday 7am - 3pm. The menu consists of a rotating selection of muffins and cupcakes, crustless quiche, fresh fruit and yogurt, pancakes and homemade soups each day, with an expanded lunch menu into the afternoon. Future plans include the addition of pop-up dinners and evening hours this summer
