5/5 -- A Hidden Gem Fueled by Faith and Great Coffee!…read more A few weeks back, I was riding my motorcycle through Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula on a trip from Maryland and stopped overnight in Munising. The next morning, I went searching for some good coffee and came across Rustic Grounds Coffee Trailer. As I looked over the menu, I saw a variety of great options and asked if I could make a small tweak to one of their specialty lattes -- no hesitation, no problem, they made it happen! When I took that first sip... wow. Smooth, balanced, and genuinely one of the best lattes I've had. I've traveled all over the world, and this little coffee trailer easily holds its own among my favorite stops. Top 10? Maybe not, but definitely my top favorite in the UP! (I'm originally from the UP, born and raised in.) While enjoying my drink, I noticed the cup had the outline of Michigan's Upper Peninsula with the words "Fueled by Jesus & Coffee." That made me smile. Then I saw the T-shirts hanging on a wall by the side of the trailer featuring Bible verses and faith-inspired designs -- such a great touch! This place is more than just a coffee stop; it's a reflection of love, faith, and community. If you're ever in Munising and want amazing coffee while supporting a small, family-owned, Christian business -- Rustic Grounds is absolutely the place to go. I'll definitely be back when I ride through the UP again!

I've loved every single coffee shop I've stopped at on my roadtrip through the UP and Rustic…read moreGrounds was no exception! It's ran out of a little trailer but the coffees have big flavor. We got an Oatmeal Cookie Latte which was so delicious and sweet and cinnamony and my boyfriend got a Backwoods Bootlegger which was surprisingly bourbony. Not my kind of thing but if you're into a less sweet drink I would recommend it, he really liked it! We also each got breakfast pies which were also really yummy and filling. They have Cholula hot sauce at the bar with the sugar and cream if that's your thing (it is mine!). Super cute spot with some nice outdoor seating. Service was kind and fast.

My favorite item is the whitefish bagel. Our last stop before heading home last week, we wanted to get our normal. The whitefish was sold out!!

The coffee was decent, not mind-blowing, but it did the job. The mocha was a nice treat, though! The real highlight of this place was the staff. The baristas were super friendly, making the experience feel warm and welcoming. It's clear they enjoy what they do, and it shows in their service. While the food was solid, I'd say the bathroom could use a little more attention. It wasn't as clean as I'd hoped, but it didn't ruin the vibe of the place. One of the coolest things about Fall Rock Cake is the bookstore aspect. You can browse through a variety of books while enjoying your coffee or meal. It's the perfect spot to unwind, especially if you're a book lover! Overall, great atmosphere, friendly service, and a good place to relax and grab a bite.

This may have set the bar too high for pasties because many pasty spots are not nearly this well seasoned. The way they shred the potato into hash brown style pieces inside really helps the pasty hold its shape and heartiness until the last bite. One is all you need for a meal, but get extra to have for later! Do not skip trying this out when you're visiting Munising and the Pictured Rocks!

The staff from ordering to getting our food was friendly. The establishment was clean and seating was build mainly for 2-4 people. Mostly are booths with some table and chairs along with the added outside seating which were wooden picnic tables with umbrellas. The food was delicious. We ordered the Eh Burger which didn't come with fries, but we ordered separately. The other sandwich was the white fish sandwich, which was one of the better fish sandwiches I have had. The burger was flavorful but a bit greasy, so you might reconsider if grease is not your friend. The fish sandwich was a little unique as it was not a single fish patty but several pieces with some slightly spicy seasoning. I will say that you have to try the "Eh" burger since you're in the U.P.! I would go again.

The service was every bit attentive, in spite of the 40-person party in their banquet room. My Autumn Mushroom Risotto came with a chicken breast I can only describe as the most flavorful chicken I've ever had. If all chicken were prepared with whatever magic they used, chicken would be my favorite meat. I don't know their secret, but I can tell you this dish exceeded my expectations. The Dirty Sue is Tracey's rendition of a dirty martini. It was superb! Not overly briny and the blue cheese stuffed olives were perfect.

Our server, Madeline, was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious, but the kitchen was pretty slow.

Definitely plan on extra buffer room if you're doing something similar. Still, I'd come back next time I'm up in the area :)
