They offer an entirely separate vegan menu with multiple flavors to choose from, which was so appreciated. I sampled the chocolate vegan ice cream and it was absolutely incredible -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It genuinely tasted like premium ice cream, not just a substitute. If you're vegan and visiting the Traverse City area, this is definitely a must-stop dessert spot!

Saw this place while walking through downtown and wanted to try their organic handmade ice creams…read more There was a small line but it went quickly. The workers were fast and friendly. I ordered the birthday cake ice cream, which surprisingly did not have the typical "birthday cake" look with sprinkles or bright colors. They definitely focus on only using natural ingredients and no artificial flavorings, which I appreciate. I didn't really get the "birthday cake" flavor that much, though. The flavor was almost too natural and tasted like straight heavy cream when I took my first bite lol. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but you can never go wrong with ice cream and it was still good.

All were warm and hot, which was the key to all of them. Each donut was also priced individually. I was able to have six and my thoughts on each are below. Cherry Pie - This was alright. It needed a little more cherry. PB & J - This had a strawberry icing with a peanut butter glaze along with some peanuts on top I believe. This was very tasty. Banana split - This was tasty with the cherry on top. Banana bread - This was different, and unique. There was plenty of banana flavor. This was actually my favorite one. Strawberry French toast - This was very good, just enough strawberry flavoring and the French toast was very apparent. Cinnamon Sugar - This classic was done right with plenty of sugar present. Will I go back? No doubt.

This place was such a treat. My latte was amazing, and my husband and I both got the bagel breakfast sandwiches and absolutely loved them.

It's just really good food. We're visiting from out of town and honestly wish we had a place like this near where we live. Thank you for making allergen-friendly food taste like the food everyone actually wants to eat!

There's a couple tables inside as well as a nice outdoor seating area.

Recently, we stopped in and ordered one of their adorable mouse sundaes, and it made my whole family so happy! Such a fun treat and such a wonderful place. We absolutely love coming here!

The lengthy line moved quickly with an efficient process by the staff. An ice cream flight ($10?) was ordered. Five flavors were chosen. Each was about half a scoop I would say. The flavors I tried are below. Most of the ice cream was fulfilling, but not as creamy as I would have thought being homemade. Black Cherry - This was black cherry ice cream with pieces of Michigan cherry pieces. This was plain and did not really taste like anything except for the cherry pieces. Cherries Moobilee - This was black cherry ice cream with chocolate fudge swirl, brownie chunks, and black cherry chunks. Again, the ice cream was plain, but the pieces of everything else helped overcome that a little bit. Cherry Pie a La Mode - This was vanilla ice cream with cherry swirl and pie pieces. This was my favorite. The cherry swirl combined with the small pie pieces made for an appealing treat. Butter Pecan - This again just lacked flavor besides the pecan pieces. Lemon Raspberry - This was lemon ice cream with a raspberry swirl. This was just not good at all. The lemon did not taste like lemon at all, and there was hardly any raspberry. Even with a small portion, I would expect the swirl to be in every bite. Will I go back? Debatable.

We…read morewalked in to find this bistro housed inside a hotel, so we didn't have high expectations - thought it was just going to be another average brunch. We turned out to be amazed by the food. The Michigan Benedict ($16) was extremely well-made. The thick-cut bacon was crispy and stayed crispy even at the end, after being soaked in hollandaise. It just had that simple balance of fatty fragrance and crunchy bite. The Seafood Omelette ($26) was also really, really nice. The portion of seafood was genuinely generous: I counted at least three scallops, four shrimp, and mouthful after mouthful of lobster folded into a provolone béchamel. Scoop up a piece with the toasted focaccia and it's hard to imagine a better way to start the morning. Service was prompt and the room was cozy and unpretentious. We'll definitely want to be back to try the lunch and dinner menu.

Apparently they are known for a certain hot sauce they sell out of their shop. I ordered a vegetarian crepe with egg, spinach, and subbed in their favorite ricocheted cheese fora $2.99 upcharge because they said it's a strong one and i love strong cheeses! This did not disappoint! I would have gone with a regular crepe though knowing it was a wheat/grainy wrap. I love the cheese. All went together great! I would have enjoyed a small drop of syrup on the side but they charged for that too so I skipped that. I also ordered the man iced decaf cafe mocha, light on milk and sweetener. I added marshmallows. The drink wasn't as strong as I'd hoped but Ava was kind enough to add a decaf shot and that definitely helped but still heavily milky drink. Ava's service was warm and helpful! There were a lot of boxes near the counter and on some booth seating that detracted a bit from ambiance.
