One of the BEST sandwich shops ever! We were spending our day in the UP and wanted a midday lunch. Fresh Coast is where it's at. A cute, cozy, immaculate eatery where you can have sandwiches your way. My group of four had a Reuben, a BLT, and two Turkey subs and there were nothing but compliments on the quality and quantity of fresh meats, freshly cooked bread and condiments. Next door is a food truck also owned by the same with sumptuous sounding seafood sandwiches and ice cream. This is a gem of an oasis in the UP. It also has a small selection of high quality Michigan souvenirs. read more

Amazing fresh sandwiches and cookies. Everything they sell is very good and priced well.

Heads up - Snowflake food truck next door is co-owned by the folks at Fresh Coast Café. Want breakfast? Head next door (they also have ice cream, seafood, and grill items). Both businesses share staff and outdoor dining areas including the picnic tables as well as those that are covered and screened. We got breakfast from Snowflake from the same gentleman that got us a sandwich in the afternoon from Fresh Coast. A hardworking team from morning to night. read more

We had the ship wreck sub (Italian) and the mighty Mac sub, and the garden salad. WOW! I love Italian subs and it was the best I've ever had. Everything was indeed very fresh! We loved it and would absolutely recommend! read more

We stopped on vacation here. The food is delicious, the sandwiches are freshly made with good ingredients, they even make their own fresh bread. I tried a double meat sandwich, toasted, optioned up. Very tasty. My family members also enjoyed their sandwiches. And we got a large soft chocolate chip cookie to split, Mmm! A great stop for lunch, and if you need any groceries that store is next door. read more

Big sandwich toasted and absolutely stuffed with meats (ham, roast beef, bacon) for $12. I stretched it easily to two tasty, satisfying meals. The line was long and it took forever for my sandwich to come out but that's showbiz baby. read more

Very friendly staff and great subs. We'd recommend the toasted Italian on wheat bread.

Ordered the salad today 7/22. Quick service and very fresh. Friend ordered a half roast beef. Not a bite left!

stopped here after visiting the falls and shipwreck museum. we had some of the best subs we have ever had. The bread was very fresh and the stacked with meat! read more

Best sub I've ever had! Both the shipwreck and the mighty Mac were top notch! The subs were huge, especially for the price. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is located right in paradise and 20 minutes from tahquamenon falls state park. It's very cute outside, trendy and touristy but still rustic for the UP. There is outside seating on a little patio. The sign states "always fresh, sometimes frozen" which is funny and honest. Inside there are a few tables but your surrounded by souvenirs... basically it's a gift shop with a counter to order food. Basic breakfast options with fair pricing. Snacks and drinks can be purchased to go for convenience which provide made in Michigan options. I assumed only sandwiches were offered but there's omelets, subs, pancakes, French toast and biscuits and gravy. The lady at the counter seemed stressed and overwhelmed. It was busy for a mid week early morning....she was a bit short. But I get it. Just saying. We ordered a bacon egg and cheese sub, full size we were informed is huge so my husband and I are sharing. Our son got an order of biscuits and gravy adorably named the treasure chest. The food was out fast and hot. The sub is the star of the menu for sure. Fresh baked bread with quality ingredients Cute place worth a stop!!e read more

Cute little place with really tasty, BIG subs and sides. I ordered the baked Italian sub. Tons of meat, cheese and veggies with seasoning. The coleslaw and potato salad are homemade and a bit different than most but very good. The place was busy, a line out the door. It took a little while but the subs are made with care. A great place to stop for lunch and maybe buy something too. They have a lot of nice decorations for sale. read more

Fresh Coast Café - Toasted Italian sub. So big & tasty! - Cafes Near Me - Paradise, Michigan

Great sandwiches today on our way back from Tahquamenon Falls. Our group of 3 ordered subs: the Mighty Mac, Shipwreck, and the Great Fitz. It was not busy after 1 p.m. so the sandwiches were ready very quickly. Warm and delicious, absolutely loaded with fillings, more than enough for each of us. read more

Family stopped here on our way to the Falls to grab some sandwiches before we walked the trails. Holy cow, didn't realize how big these sandwiches would be. The worker was very friendly and let us know it would take him a few minutes to get our sandwiches ready. As he handed each sandwich over each family member commented how heavy they were. Upon opening them up to eat each sandwich was packed with meats and toppings depending on what we ordered. Compared to chain shops that charge based on their name this little gem gives you your moneys worth and then some on their sandwiches. If we head back to the area this would be a must stop location for a meal. There's indoor and outdoor seating if you want to stay on site to eat and the decorations they have up inside is all art that can be purchased. It's not a large establishment but they seem to take pride in their work and the food was worth stopping for. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast on our way out of Paradise one morning (there are NOT a lot of options) and it was a great choice. My wife and I decided to just have veggie omelettes and coffee, and we were surprised by what we got. The coffee was very good, and the omelettes were MASSIVE. Also, the toast was made from homemade bread and it was awesome. Great little place, that I'm sure the locals are all aware of. read more

This is a really tough review to write. The ladies working here were sooo sweet. The lemon poppy seed muffin and the lemon blueberry cookie were both stellar. My ham and cheese sub was tasty, but the bacon-chicken-ranch sub was not good. The Cinnamon roll was not great either. We really wanted breakfast, but they evidently no longer serve breakfast. read more

Best sandwich I've had in a very long time. I had the Ship Wreck on white roll. It's easily 12" long so it's easy to share . My wife had a cinnamon roll heated up, which was also amazing. Very quick and friendly staff. read more

SO INCREDIBLY GOOD! I felt like a fool for complimenting the lady that made our sandwiches so much, but she was so nice! And the food was so very good! I understand there isn't a lot to choose from in Paradise. Also, know that no where in Tahquamenon Falls State Park accepts CC. Our next stop was Whitefish point, so we stopped here. SO GLAD WE DID! The sandwiches are huge! But they'll make a half if you ask. The salads are huge. The toppings are so fresh! My daughter had a salad with strawberries and they were wonderful! We were so happy! read more

Ordered three sandwiches and all were fantastic and huge. Service was fast and the outdoor seating area was perfect. Would strongly encourage anyone to check them out. read more

We stopped for lunch while visiting Whitefish Point and we're glad we did. My wife and I shared a BLT sub. The bun was very fresh and tasty. The ingredients were also fresh. They did not skimp on the filling. The price was reasonable. We will definitely stop here the next time we pass through. read more

Awesome place! Great food, and priced right for amount of food you get. Best subs I've had anywhere! If your hungry and in the area, stop by, you won't regret it. read more

Ordered coffee without paying attention and found the flavored coffee was from sugary syrup. I can't have all that sugar so I wound up throwing it out. Can't really blame them. The carrot cream cheese muffin was moist and delicious read more

My husband and I were traveling in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and stopped in Paradise MI. We decided to stop for a sandwich for dinner at Fresh Coast Cafe. We had a sandwich called The Fitz. It was a pulled pork sandwich with provolone cheese and slaw on your choice of wheat or white bun. The sandwich was amazing and huge! We could have split the sandwich and still been full. The people were very friendly. To top our dinner off, we got white chocolate macadamia cookies. They were also huge and were very tasty. I would recommend a stop at The Fresh Coast Cafe when you visit the Whitefish Point, Michigan area. read more

I was going to leave a negative review as the lady at the register (owner I believe) was abrupt and surly. However she was much more pleasant with everyone else who came in as I sat and ate my BLT (excellent), so maybe I reminded her of someone she didn't like...? Anyway, A little friendliness would have bumped this to a 4 or 5 star review. read more

The best sandwich I've ever had. I am just sad that I visited this place on vacation because I'd go there more often If I could!! My husband and I split the chicken bacon sub because the sandwiches are huge! Loved it! read more

We had a great lunch here yesterday. My husband had an Italian sub and I had a chicken salad sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Homemade cinnamon buns just came out of the oven so the smells were wonderful. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Sandwiches were good..... but... Located in paradise mi between the shipwreck museum and the falls they are bound to get a lot of tourist traffic right? We were disappointed about the long wait. At the peak of tourist season they need more then two workers on duty. We ordered and then waited a half hour before we got our food. The sandwiches were solid.... would have been better if they had the bread choice we wanted (all they had was white bread). We ordered cookies and they tasted freezer burnt. Our experience could have been better. Sorry to ruin the perfect rating, but this place doesn't deserve it. read more

Amazing food!!! She roasts her own chicken!! Very large servings worth every penny! We will definitely be hitting up the cafe again maybe for breakfast next time ! Bravo read more

A happy find. Large sandwiches made fresh. Sugar cookie was soft and delicious. Got lucky visiting in November with no lines. Would recommend to all. read more

Amazingly delicious! Also I'm gluten free. Vickie overheard me talking with my husband about my limited options and said they also have gluten free bread. Of course I said yes and had the Coastline on GF. When I opened the wrapping, I nearly cried. It was a beautifully toasted sandwich and I haven't been able to have a sandwich outside of home in years! To say it was fabulous is an understatement. The bread tasted homemade and was so fresh as if it had just come out of the oven. Vickie was so happy to hear how much I enjoyed it. (She is also their chef.) She said I was the first to comment on the gluten free bread and she was thrilled to hear it was good. She said it comes from a local bakery. I recommend this little gem to everyone! Especially if you're gluten free!!! read more

Great sandwiches. I ordered one to split with my wife and when we got it I was glad I hadn't gotten a whole one for me. A huge sandwich with lots of meat and fixings! The lady who took our order was so nice and our order arrived promptly. Will be eating there on our next trip thru!!! read more

Great sandwiches, like a high quality subway with way more meat and flavor. They are huge! We are big eaters and splitting one was plenty for both of us. Breakfast food that was coming out while we waited for our sandwiches looked amazing. read more

The Fresh Coast Cafe may be the best sandwich shop I have eaten in! All of the items are hand-made fresh everyday, pies, cookies, bread, soups, and biscuits and gravy! Although at first blush, the prices would seem high, but the care and talent with which our sandwiches we're crafted made it worth every nickle! Be warned the sandwiches are large enough to share! Also as a side bar, they should name a sandwich after the lady behind the counter, I would suggest, "The Grumpy Bear", be sure to put some "sassy sauce" on it! Ha Ha! I'll be back everytime I come to Paradise, MI. read more

Excellent (subway style) sandwiches and well priced. New and clean business and the people behind the counter were working hard.

Stopped here with the family on our way to the Falls. At first I was a little skeptical about the prices ( then again I'm a cheap guy). But then our food came out and it was INCREDIBLE! I had the Mighty Mac sandwich which was a LARGE sub style sandwich, filled with some of the best meats I've ever had and very fresh cheese. My wife had the chicken salad sandwich, which was some of the best she's ever had. I was really impressed with the portion sizes, everything was huge! Staff was very friendly, and told me they were just built a few months ago. Very clean and laid back place. I will definitely make sure I stop here again in my travels. read more

Not many dining choices Paradise, MI. However, this place makes some amazing rotisserie chicken. In general sort of a Subway style sandwich shop with a fresh, local twist. Would highly recommend Fresh Coast Cage even if there were more choices in Paradise. Service can be slow because every sandwich is made from scratch, otherwise 5 stars. read more

If your staying in the area this place is a MUST! This is a cute little hometown sub shop. The people were great but the food was better!!! I would definitely recommend! read more

great place. we simply ordered turkey sandwiches, not any of the specialty sandwiches, but they were amazing: big helping of deli turkey, very fresh toppings, delicious bread. you can order the roll toasted or not and we went for toasted--yum! We ordered half sandwiches, which were plenty. (size of a full sandwich in an ordinary restaurant). We sat outside on the very pleasant patio and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. read more
