Although they are primarily known for the coffee and breakfast, they have an amazing dinner selection. It was almost empty when we arrived which is crazy for a Saturday night in Ada, but it worked well for us.
I tried the gnocchi and would absolutely recommend it. My husband got the burger and also enjoyed it. Our drinks were also good.

Very attractive setting and dining room. We want for breakfast on a weekday and found it medium busy. Food was very good. Coffee was outstanding, however we were never offered refills. When I’m paying a $5 premium for ambiance, I expect my coffee to be filled regularly.

Went here b/c saw it was a highly rated breakfast place, and it did not disappoint.
-excellent food with much of it locally sourced 10/10
-best straight coffee I’ve had at a restaurant/coffee shop, and I’ve had a lot. Lots of flavor and not watered down or weak, but not overlay strong. Just GOOD. 11/10
-good portion size, and everything was fresh, and very good.
-excellent service
Overall 10/10, even with the wait for food. Gladly would make one of our regular spots and go out of the way to go to.

The only positive thing is the food, which tasted very good. I got the chicken salad Sammy. Price of food is on the bit higher end. Service was not the best. The atmosphere was pretty good. My friend really likes the plants present at the restaurant. We were sat right away but it took about 10 minutes for a waitress to come over to ask us if we’re ready to order. After taking orders, the food took awhile to come. Then after we finished eating, no one looked our way or came by until another 10 minutes passed by. The check was brought over but they didn’t split the bill like we asked. So again it took some time to get that part fixed. We probably dined in there for more than one hour because of all the glitches.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the food was absolutely delicious. The server who helped me was very sweet and attentive, which I truly appreciated. That said, I do wish there had been more than one server available during the lunch rush. Since I was in a bit of a hurry, the service felt slower than expected, even though the staff did their best. Having additional support during busy hours would make the experience even better. Overall, it was a pleasant visit with great food and warm service.

We recently ordered takeout and wanted to share a little feedback on our experience. While the cinnamon toast and Texas toast had good flavor, they seemed a bit under-toasted, and the bacon was not as crispy as we had expected. The sausage patty was also quite salty for our taste, and the scrambled eggs were softer than we prefer. On a positive note, the breakfast potatoes were excellent and were definitely the highlight of the meal. We appreciate the effort that goes into preparing takeout orders and hope our feedback is helpful, as we may try again in the future.

Upon entering, the atmosphere is upbeat with a modern flair — love the Lincoln print and the decor! Definitely a spot that catches your eye right away.
Unfortunately, service and execution missed the mark on this visit. There was quite a wait for a server to appear, though she was friendly and explained some menu features once she arrived. While waiting, I visited the restroom and noticed the service counter lining the kitchen — a neat setup, but cluttered with servers’ personal items, including a belt right near the rolled silverware. The area adjacent had broken cabinets, a dirty window, and plenty of dust and spiderwebs — not great considering it’s a small space and visible to the staff hangout spot.
It took 2 hours for our food to arrive. My iced coffee, ordered after my family’s drinks, sat in the wait area for 20 minutes (my son spotted it) before NEVER being delivered — melted ice, separated layers, and no longer appealing. When I asked for it to be removed from the bill, the server blamed the barista. If coffee really takes 20 minutes to make and comes without ice, I’ll pass next time! Take accountability and be honest, it is more attractive to someone who spent 20 years in the industry and especially to those who know better.
Food was mediocre, and my breakfast sandwich was cold on arrival. Our server seemed more focused on hanging out at the service bar than on guests.
That said, I believe in second chances — and extra shots! I’ll give Mudpenny another try because the vibe is great and I see its foodie potential.

We really like MudPenny. Dog friendly patio, attentive servers. And very good food. Yes, it’s a little pricey but it’s different, and it’s Ada.

11/8/2023 ☆☆☆Update☆☆☆ Dinner was absolutely fabulous . Chicken soup, Carpaccio, and Roasted half Chicken! Delicious!
This was my first visit, and most definitely not my last. Very enjoyable, healthy breakfast. Fresh and very “Tasty” Outstanding coffee! (How often is breakfast ruined with bad coffee, not here). Very nice setting in Ada Michigan. Ada Village is a quaint area with excellent restaurants and shops.

After our stay at the Ada Hotel, we wandered across to Mudpenny for breakfast. What an incredible way to start the day!
I ordered the Crème Brûlée French toast sticks. Not a single note…the sticks were so good that I was sad to take the last bite. The coffee was so tasty that I bought a can of their coffee beans to take home.
Our waitress was lovely, checking in on us frequently. The restaurant was busy with all sorts of customers coming and going. With all of the different seating choices, MudPenny would be a great place for small work meetings.
