What Bruce Erdman doesn't like about Donckers:
I had the worst experience with scrambled eggs at this restaurant. They were overcooked and served lukewarm. The coffee was weak and the portion was minimal. The bacon was incredibly thin and also not hot. To make matters worse, the prices were absurdly high, comparable to upscale establishments. Additionally, the restaurant was not accessible for individuals with disabilities, as it required climbing a steep two-sto... View all feedback. What courtpline likes about Donckers:

Great breakfast lunch spot! Did an awesome job taking care of our large group (20ppl). Will definitely be coming back in the future!

A historic spot in Marquette, Donckers offers mixed reviews. Some praise the sweet offerings and friendly staff, while others complain about high prices and slow service. The charming atmosphere and diverse menu options make it a decent pit stop for tourists, but locals are less impressed. The accessibility of the restaurant receives criticism, with limited parking and stairs posing challenges. The consensus is that Donckers is worth a visit for its unique character and sweet treats, but improvements in pricing and service are needed to win over repeat customers.
