Also had a nice chat with the bakers as they worked. Like us, many of them are transplants to the area and had a lot of insights to share. They also partner with Jackson's Pit to provide sweets for after dinner, which is a really nice touch.

The food here was great and the prices were definitely fair, but the best part of our dining…read moreexperience was the service provided by two of the waitstaff - Marshall and Saara. We were mostly served by Marshall, who was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. We were also assisted by Saara, who also gave us fantastic service. We live just below the Bridge (I love that you don't need to say what bridge in Michigan), so won't be coming up here every week or month, but when next we do visit, we will definitely be stopping here a couple of times. In short: great food, great price, and Great service.

No surprise; as soon as Smokin'Hubster and I moved to the area, we had to figure out who had the…read morepaczki. The bakery is amazing and it would be hard to select what to taste, except that I was a woman on a mission. I stopped in the week before Fat Tuesday. Placing the order was easy and took only moments to complete. I returned for Mardi Gras and the bakery was understandably busier. There were folks that failed to plan ahead, so their paczki pleasure was impacted. Me, I walked in, the same helpful person was retrieving orders and I picked up my pre-paid dozen quickly. The paczki were amazing and brought me right back to Michigan. The paczki we had in MN were good, but they aren't the same. And I've honestly never had paczki that were SO filled. And the fillings were so fresh, so perfectly balanced with the pastry. We tried six varieties (oof, yeah!) and loved them all. The prune paczki is an easy favorite, being traditional, but that Bavarian Cream was sublime. I was completely spoiled. It was fun that my first visits here were for 'holiday shopping,' which makes me look forward to coming back and trying more yummy baked items!

Went to the Jasper Ridge Brewery mid-January 2026. As we entered and were greeted by the hostess at…read more6:15PM, we asked for a table for eight adults. We were told that they could not seat us as the kitchen would not be able to fulfill our order. Mind you the Brewery did not close until 9:00PM that evening. We inquired about a table for four and again were met with we could not be seated. Review of the dining area we saw it had approximately a 40% capacity and the Bar area at 75% capacity. We spotted 4 seats at the Bar and proceeded to them where the Bartender Ashley was outstanding. We explained what just transpired and she was able to provide food and drinks for our group well before the stated closing time. The food was tasty, hot and ample. The Blue Berry Beer is outstanding, highly recommended it. We have been going to this establishment for about 15 years now and have never been turned away from the door with over 2.5 hours until closing. Very disappointing to say the least, especially when you are on a snowmobile safari staying at the Jasper Ridge Inn next door. Hope others do not face this type of issue in the future.
