Cute place with a few inside seats but quite a few tables outside. Greeted warmly and everyone seemed so happy. Ordered 1/2 turkey and 1/2 caesar salad and both were outstanding!
This is a small either carry out or they have an outdoor patio you can eat at. The food selections are unique and very tasty. I got the vegetable wrap with curry and it had all of my favorite ingredients. My friend got the millionaire turkey sandwich and he really liked it. They both came with chips and a delicious dill dip. My sandwich also came with a ranch dip. This is a great option for a quick bite. They give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. You can get free cups of water
Perfection. Worth the wait. I had the curried veggie wrap and I'm in town another day and am going back for another one tomorrow. Their chips and homemade dip are a nice add too.
Loved my experience at chubby unicorn. Quick and easy cafe service, side patio with plenty of picnic tables to eat onsite and delicious food! I ordered the burrito and special of the day (Happy Husband) and both were delicious. The sandwiches are panini like and the breakfast burrito was stuffed full of delicious bacon jam and eggs. Will definitely be my go-to lunch spot when visiting!
Eat here! It's that simple! I know there are tons of places to eat in Traverse but you absolutely must try this place. It's super small inside, only 3 tables but they have picnic tables outside and honestly if there isn't a seat walk a few hundred feet down the road, take the steps down to the water and boom you have a seat on the water! The play list they had going while we ate there was on point as well! Such a fun place, and great vibe, everyone working seemed genuinely happy to be there and they all seemed to work great together! This was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time!
I absolutely LOVE this place! So that area is all beautiful beaches and I wanted to grab a wrap to go eat on the beach- this was perfect. You basically go in, order, then go outside. It's a very small space but perfect for what it is. There is a space fenced off on the left where you can eat at cute little picnic tables. There is also a spot facing the water right next door where the bus picks up that you can sit if you want a water view. This city is all around so gorgeous view-wise so most people just walk across the street to the beaches. I came here a couple times in my visit to TC and the staff were wicked nice, super helpful, and very welcoming. The food was so good! I love love love the wraps! They have a limited menu - but it is for good reason- everything is amazing. The chips that come with the wraps are also so good and addicting! They also give you some kind of dill spread and that was delicious as well. I'm also a sucker for great marketing and mascots so obviously a place called Chubby Unicorn gets bonus points from me from the jump. The logo and branding were adorable and the vibes were so fun. Inside, they also have tons of cool graphic art from Banksy, who's my favorite artist, so again, 5 stars.
The Millionaire Turkey was amazing. When I first saw it I thought it was going to be bland and dry but it was the opposite. I am already thinking about the next time I will get it again. It is a very small shop and not a ton of seating but the staff is very friendly. They also offer catering! 10/10 a MUST try in Traverse City
Stopped in for the first time last Monday. Tiny little place with seating for about 12 inside and plenty of picnic table seating outside. Menu is small but I think there is something for everyone. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. They have paninis, wraps, salads, couple of soups, and a kids menu. We opted for the dilly dally salad, millionaire turkey sandwich, and cheese and ale soup. Not a bad choice in the bunch. Salad was big enough for two and has a lot of good stuff in it. See the menu. The sandwich was delicious with a sweet bacon jam on it. Soup was nice and hot with a nice cheese flavor. Great service, great food, and a go to place in my book.
Stopped in for lunch with two other people. Split two sandwiches between the three of us, and while it was filling enough, I would have happily eaten the whole thing! Seriously delicious. They have a succinct selection of "paninis", salads, wraps and soups. I say "paninis" because they were grilled, but it wasn't what I would typically envision a panini to be. The bread was fluffy, not hard and flat. Creative toppings - we ain't talking traditional deli sandwiches here. And they served their Great Lakes chips with a side of housemade French onion dip (we love a dip and a sauce). No beers, so grab em to go if that's what you're looking for. Inside is small with a few tables, maybe more of a to-go place. There is a small patio to the side which looked like a lovely option on a summer day in TC. If you're passing through, highly recommend!

The Millionaire's Turkey and the French onion soup were incredibly delicious! The service is terrific and everyone is friendly. Follow their social media for daily and weekly specials too! By the looks of everything I saw come out of the kitchen I cannot imagine any of it is short of amazing and delicious. Fresh ingredients and layers of flavor in everything. There's parking out front with meters. Indoor and outdoor seating. They take cash or card. Walk around the water front nearby if you get a chance. Stop by if you're in the area! read more
We stopped by for lunch before departing on our wine tour. It was a cold Friday for the first weekend in May. We were able to snag the only table that fit four inside. They have some picnic tables outside, inside is very limited, and as busy as they were, we got lucky. And they were busy! The line moved pretty fast, but with online orders, there was a bit of a wait. Their menu is short and focused. Panini sandwiches, wraps, salad, a soup of the day. I ordered The Millionaire Turkey. It was fantastic, maybe one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Real turkey, not lunch meat, the right sized slices, perfectly paired with just the right amount of garlic aioli and bacon jam. Served with chips and their equally good dill dip (is dill the ingredient of 2026 or just a TC thing?). While my sandwich deserves all the stars, my friends Caesar wrap, with added chicken, was a bit boring. It quickly fell apart. We also felt the soup, cheddar broccoli, was only fine. We were checked on by a woman who was either a manager or owner to make sure we were content. I will absolutely be returning for that sandwich! read more

Thank you Scarlett! That’s a great review. Stop in again and enjoy…
The food: We shared the Millionaire Turkey and the Thick Little Hottie between three of us and it made for a perfect lunch. My favorite was the Thick Little Hottie which had heat in the midwestern sense. The dill dip with the chips definitely elevated them as a side. The vibe: cute little place with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was very friendly and delivered the food to us event though we sat outside. read more

Got a chicken capresse wrap, capi-doodle-dew sandwich, and a thick little hottie sandwich. All three sandwiches were delicious. The dipping sauce went perfectly with the sandwiches and the chips, and the chips tasted homemade and fresh. We took our food to the pier a couple shops down and ate by the water. Was a great experience. read more

Small shop with BIG energy! Friendly owner, friendly patrons, an incredibly welcoming atmosphere with tasty food as a bonus. Portions will not leave you hungry. My gf does not care for sandwiches yet found a new taste or texture to compliment after every bite. House made dill dip was amazing, with the chips, with the sandwich, with my finger, with anything. We had to buy a tub to take with us on our way out camping after this needed body fueling stop. read more

I am embarrassed to say that I've driven past the Chubby Unicorn at least 50 times and never stopped.....which was my loss...until today!! Walking in, it was as I had imagined - order at the counter, three small tables and help yourself napkins and plasticware. The vibe was great, with 5 staff on the move in a small kitchen and an enticing aroma. The menu is quaint but has distinct offerings. I asked the young lady at the counter what I should consider and she recommended the French Dip...as it was National French Dip Day (Nov 12). She also pointed me to their daily special, the Pickle Rick, which you can see in my photos. I went with the special and, dude..., it was the right pick! Tender roast beef, great sauce, tasty veges and probably the best ciabatta bread I've ever had! While I was waiting, they offered a taste of a new soup they were evaluating, French Onion, which was marvelous. I devoured the sandwich in my Jeep and called my wife after the first two bites to tell her I've found my new favorite local sandwich shop!! She's knows I'm a food snob and asked if we could go tomorrow (we now have a lunch date)! ALSO, they have GLUTEN FREE bread and wrap options. So don't do what I did and ignore this little treasure. All locals, make an effort to try the Chubby Unicorn. You out-of-towners, make it one of your scheduled foodie visits. You wont be disappointed! read more

Amazing sandwiches, soup was really good. Food came out pretty quick. I also tried my family's chips and dill dip which was excellent. Not much seating and also no bathroom, probably better for take out read more

Met a friend for lunch. We all had different sandwiches, Thick Little Hottie, Caprese Chicken as a wrap, and Capi-Doodle-Dew. All 3 were delicious. Loved the dill dip too! Limited indoor seating, but we'll be back! read more
