As a vegan, I was happy to see they do offer quite a few vegan-friendly lunch options, just not many quick grab-and-go dessert choices. We split an oat milk latte, and it was excellent. You could tell it was prepared with care, and it made for the perfect pick-me-up before heading back to Traverse City. We enjoyed relaxing inside for a bit, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind and accommodating. Definitely a lovely stop while exploring the area!

However, I called the order in and took it over the phone which supposedly they don't add the gratuity which is a whole other issue, but guess what?! It was added to my bill so 3 pizzas cost over $80 and they added almost $16 to the bill! They took it off once I questioned it but this is out of control seriously. You have already increased the cost of your small pizzas by about 15% from last year and now this? Do better Faro! We will return when you want to rid yourself of this policy. I felt ripped off! Pizzas weren't even made correctly which made me feel even worse about spending over $80 on 3 pies. Lots of other options on the peninsula.

Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed!

This was my favorite meal we had in Michigan. The ambiance was a highlight for sure, between the…read morelovely scenic outdoor area, and the wonderful live music playing. However the food and coffee were ridiculously good. The breakfast sandwich was decent, but the highlight by far was the Italian sandwich.

So yummy. Loved that the bread was so fresh and light as well, and slathered with a slightly more generous amount of sauce. Not in a heavy way though - loved that the lemon vinaigrette really brightened up the mustard & mayo. Delish! Also tried their Caesar salad. LOVED the crispy Parmesan chip, and the lemon anchovy vinaigrette. Pastry counter was full of delicious looking treats! We tried their homemade nutter butter cookie, which was actually kind of like a peanut butter cookie sandwich with the most delicious creme filling in between. Loved!

My family and I went here to bowl a couple nights while we were in town and we had a great experience! It was fairly inexpensive to bowl and the lanes, balls, shoes, etc. all seemed fairly new and in really good condition. We had a lot of fun! We also ordered some food including chicken tenders, friends, cheese curds. All of the food we ordered was really good and better than expected for a "bowling alley" even though this spot is much more than just that. We look forward to coming in again during our next visit in town!

Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

So many coffees to choose from as well as delicious breakfast items. We ended up going for more traditional breakfasts (lighthouse breakfast and corned beef hash plate) and both were delicious, filling and plentiful for the price. The jams for the toast were a surprising highlight and the blueberry and strawberry were so good that I ate them by the spoon when I finished my toast! They do have gluten free toast and they do have dairy alternatives in case you need that which was so appreciated. It is so close to fish town/a great location to walk around. We would definitely come back if visiting the area again!
