They have an excellent children's section. The staff are really sweet. There's a piano in the back, and occasionally a pianist will come by and play. My only critique is that the public wifi is very spotty, so it's hard to linger long enough to enjoy the atmosphere sometimes.

It would definitely take quite a long time to climb all 7. Definitely worth a visit. The center was ok - nothing special.

Memorieeeeeees…read more Well, sort of. This is the former location of Borders in Traverse City, wherein I first polished my skills as a budding barrista. I worked in the cafe. It was the best of times, I assure you. Until they mandated that I wear a hat, and then it was all over. I don't do hats. But, I do do coffee while getting my nails done -- and needed a latte to ensure that I could fully enjoy my pedicure at LA Nails (in the same center). I hoped upon hope that when BAM! had taken over Borders that they'd preserved the cafe, and that they did. In fact -- this entire store is basically the same layout, with the same stuff as the old Borders. Cheers to that. My coffee was pretty darn good, 4-stars for sure. Pro-tip: this place has nice, clean bathrooms that are accessible easily (and publicly) from the side entrance, where the cafe is. And there you have it -- my small jaunt down memory lane. The smell of a fresh espresso bag still brings me back to an 18-year old Colleen C in flared jeans and an apron.

The vibe is a little retro but my friends and I found some items to purchase. Inventory was a little limited when it came to brand new bestsellers, but if you want an older popular book you might be able to find it here. I ended up buying a few fun Manistee postcards with vintage scenes, including one of Orchard Beach State park, where we were camping. They made for a great souvenir! My boyfriend got a book on knots, and we found a used board book in the used books area for our friends who are expecting a baby. The used book room was a blast from the past, with some retro 90s cookbooks and other vintage finds. If I lived in the area this would be my go-to bookshop and I'm sure they can special order most books. They have some toys and gifts for kids. Masks and use of hand sanitizer is politely required.

Speaking of kids, I'm not sure when they added it, but since the last time I personally was there they've added a nice screened in back-porch filled with kid friendly make-and-take crafts like paint your own pottery, wood cuts, etc. And there's also a nice patio with seating and cute little pop up reading tents for youngins. Grab a coffee, pick up a good book, set your kids to craft or read, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon to yourself.
