This is a precious gem in downtown Grayling. It's a great shop to peruse…read more I don't care what my mood or what they have added/removed, I am walking out the door with a purchase of something new to me. Today it's table top cornhole boards. The one game even I couldn't lose at! It goes beyond the cute little shop for ice cream and local stuff. They carry many made in Michigan products. They have a nostalgic look at pop AND great ice cream. It's also fun to see the latest find on their shelves. Depending on which doggie is working, you have several petting opportunities. It's also a wonderful experience to visit with Stacy or Kate. 12/24

Still my favorite shop in Grayling. The kindest owners and staff. The best coffee in Grayling. Also…read morethe best spot to buy Michigan made products. I always come here when I am in town. Can't wait to come back in August. Always greeted with a smile here.

Health foods! Serious supplements. Incredible selection…read more I was making my way North when allergies hit me and I realized I had not brought anything with me in the way of supplements or products to keep my immune system intact. I googled furiously because I needed Vitamin D and Vitamin C, plus some of those harder-to-find supplements. This bright and clean store was right on one of the main streets in Gaylord so it was really easy to get to. I found everything I could possibly want and more. Fast forward a few months and today I realized I was out of one product I knew I had purchased there. I called and, sure enough, they had it in stock. I ordered 4 and the manager shipped them out today. You're not going to find a nice, better stocked healthy food store up North. This rivals Better Health and several stores downstate. Thanks so much, Nature's Nest!

More like BADale's Bakery. Not a great experience- luckily it was only 5 mins of displeasure…read more Waited in line for donuts smashed into a clothing rack in front of pastry case. After a few mins the unhappy lady took us next. We said we'd need a box since we were planning on getting 9-10 donuts. She snarked, "well I'll have to charge you $.50 for the box if you don't get a dozen." Yeah we saw the sign, but isn't that the cost of doing business?! They aren't charging for wax bags, plus I'm buying 10 items (~$16 worth) which should have the box factored in anyway at only .05 per donut... which is probably the cost of the wax bag they don't charge for! Enough statistical analysis. Then we ask about the chocolate covered Bavarian cream vs. the choc cov'd custard. That sent her into a tiff as she set us straight! Basically their Bav. cream is white & custard is yellow. But most examples online showed Bav. cream as a light yellowy custard! On the bright side most of what we got was tasty. Cinnamon roll & lemonade donut was the best.

Generally speaking, I love dollar stores--you just never know what you're going to find...and this…read moreplace was no exception! They were having post-Christmas sales, and we picked up a few toys for our son at a great deal (nothing name brand, but at 50% off, it was stuff we knew he'd love and we wouldn't be upset if it didn't last). We walked in just to look...and walked out with armfuls of stuff--from wrapping paper to Teddy Grahams to fleece blankets ($3!) to Sixlet candies (nostalgia!). They had a lot of name brand stuff at decent prices--I was really surprised. The store was very clean, bright, and well-stocked--and the shelves were organized and the aisles were clear. The cashier was also super nice and friendly. If we lived here, we'd certainly shop here on a regular basis!

Good selection and well stocked. Prices may not be any lower than other stores. Recommend…read morecomparison shopping. Staff is friendly and helpful
