Stopped in on a Sunday morning on our way to Mackinac. It appeared most folks were locals and it…read morebeing Sunday resulted in more young families stopping by. There is a good selection of fresh donuts and some other baked goods. I also spotted day old donuts sold at a discount. They do offer drip coffee as well as espresso and matcha beverages. There was some confusion as to where to order as well as staff taking orders while helping customers. This resulted in a slightly slower delivery for me as I had to wait to pay as well as get my latte. A clearer workflow for the intake staff would likely clear up some confusion- especially when there is only 1 barista. There is no indoor seating but there are a couple of picnic tables outside which worked out great to enjoy our treats. Overall this was a nice snack break and everything our group enjoyed was delicious.

The food and coffee were absolutely wonderful, and the setting is just as special as what's on the menu. Surrounded by nature and tucked into this beautiful lakeside town, it feels like one of those places you're lucky to discover. If you're anywhere near Torch Lake or Alden, put this little find on your list! It's charming, delicious, peaceful, and full of that quintessential Northern Michigan summer feeling. We loved it and will absolutely be back!

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. My husband isn't gluten-free or dairy-free, and he thought his was just as good as I did. That's what impressed me most. This isn't just great food "for being allergen-friendly." 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.

This is the kind of place that reminds you why old-school neighborhood bakeries still matter. I'm stopping again when I'm back.

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.
