What a fun spot! This place was recommended to me as a first time visitor to Traverse City. Located…read moreon the main street it has great curb appeal and an inviting look. As you enter you will encounter all things cherry as there are many different foods, drinks, and other items for purchase. It may feel a little overwhelming with the amount of things in the store! My family and I got to enjoy various samples of all things cherry, my favorite being the cherry gummy bears. We headed over to the wine counter in which we did two wine tastings for $1 each. The staff member who served us was knowledgeable and informative. Both of the wines I got were delicious! Overall we had a great experience and would encourage anyone to make this a stop while visiting the downtown Traverse City shops!

Everyone says you have to go to the Cherry Republic when you're in Traverse City. And you kind of…read moredo. Especially if you need to pick up gifts for in-laws and the neighbor who gets your mail when your out of town. Not super nice gifts. But cute gifts or interesting food stuffs. Spoiler alert: The food stuffs you eventually buy will be made with cherries. Cherry wine, cherry jam, cherry salsa, cherry barbecue sauce, cherry candy... Some of it's great, some not so much. It's large. It's packed. It's touristy. It has oven mitts with cherry designs and aprons with clever sayings. You've been somewhere like this before. If it's your thing, they do it pretty well. If not, this store will not change your mind.

I'll definitely make it a point to stop here when we make it back to Traverse City. I loved the variety. There were some really cute odds and ends, and jewelry, bags, pins, socks...etc, all at fair prices! Just a really cool store with friendly staff. I loved it. It is two levels, so be sure to check out both floors.

Their tag line may be "Unique gifts for men" but I had a blast browsing and shopping for myself…read more The shop is located inside The Mercato, where the store footprints aren't huge, but what they lack in square footage they make up for in expertly curated stock. They carry an array of unique gifts, including home decor like art pieces and sculptures, rocks and crystals, grooming supplies, leather goods, and even some jewelry. And it wouldn't be a Haberdashery without some hats and other accessories. It's a great shop for a gift for someone special or to pick up a little special something for yourself.

I've had both, depends on my mood. They also have some German food, which is rare to find up in this area, as well as lebkuchen cookies around the Christmas holidays. I am not a big fan of ham, but they have a pineapple and ham sandwich, grilled, that is to die for. The dessert case has homemade lemon bars, cream puffs, rice pudding and other homemade yummies. The decor is unique, with small gifts, cards and European treats for sale as well. My husband had them cater my 40th birthday party a few years ago and the food was excellent then as well.

This is an often overlooked place, set on the side of M22 a little past Tom's grocery store. It's…read moremostly a lunch place, but they do catering as well. They have the best reuben in town (also the messiest). A great vegetarian menu and also a daily special of more homemade-type meals like meatloaf or stroganoff. The tomato bisque soup is really good as well. Everything is made from scratch. Oh, and usually I'm too full, but the desserts are rockin- like a giant cream puff the size of a softball. I used to come here all the time for work and I loved it. It's not set in the best location and I think it shares its parking lot with a carpet store or something. But the food is worth it and its cute inside, with some really cool artwork (weird joker clowns). I always forget about this place in town since it doesn't feel like a destination, but when you think about going to Scott's for the view, you should think twice and head to the Silver Swan for the food.

They did not ask us if we needed any help finding anything while we were in there. We did not feel welcome at all, they talked amongst themselves and worked vigorously all around us placing items in various places. It was strange and sad because we saw things we could have bought from there but just didn't feel inclined at that point to give them any business.

In addition to everything you need for our birds friends, they also offer amazing candles, artisan food items and gifts! Definitely shop here 1st, as I know you'd rather support a small store and not be supporting the "man"! Dan also taught me that squirrels don't like hot peppers but birds don't mind them, so we got the spicy suet to try. Wow, you learn something new everyday! Thank you for a great experience!
