Such a quaint and cozy cafe! Smokin'Hubster and I have each stopped in for cookies (he is the Cookie Monster), delighting in the selection that's available. Also had a nice chat with the bakers as they worked. Like us, many of them are transplants to the area and had a lot of insights to share. They also partner with Jackson's Pit to provide sweets for after dinner, which is a really nice touch. read more

The food here was great and the prices were definitely fair, but the best part of our dining experience was the service provided by two of the waitstaff - Marshall and Saara. We were mostly served by Marshall, who was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. We were also assisted by Saara, who also gave us fantastic service. We live just below the Bridge (I love that you don't need to say what bridge in Michigan), so won't be coming up here every week or month, but when next we do visit, we will definitely be stopping here a couple of times. In short: great food, great price, and Great service. read more

I was near Crystal Falls, Michigan on vacation and planned to take a day trip to Pictured Rocks with my mother. I researched a place to stop approximately midway and found Negaunee, and was attracted to the name Midtown Bakery and Cafe. I was looking for some place that might have a quick breakfast and coffee menu. The place is in the downtown area of Negaunee. It is a small store, with limited seating and display cases, and on the Wednesday we visited it was busy with obviously local patrons. When we walked in the first person greeted us and said, "we have breakfast items but if you are looking for eggs, meat and a large breakfast we can recommend some other places close by." I assumed it is a regular question. We said we were looking for a quick meal and the options listed on the menu chalkboard were fine. My mother had a breakfast bagel and I asked for a double portion of biscuits and gravy. My mom enjoyed her sandwich and it was filling enough that she took a part of it with her. I was able to finish mine and it stayed with me until we could get to dinner later that afternoon. The gravy was definitely from a mix, and the bagel sandwich has a "baked egg" on it. I am not sure what prevents them from having a fried or scrambled egg on it. The service was a little slower than I expected, since there were only a dozen or so customers but I counted 4-5 employees. It was hard to determine which person was responsible for which duties. Two people seemed to take our order and then a third delivered the food. It was pleasant enough, and it fit our plans, but it felt like the Cafe atmosphere was an afterthought. read more

I love Midtown for desserts and lunches. When my daughter graduated from high school, I stopped in and told Mary Beth my plan for a pink dessert table and she made it happen! When my parents had their 50th, we got a lemon cake with raspberry filling. It was so delicious! My mom normally pushes food on all of us, but not this cake! She took the small piece that was remaining home for herself. It's got a daily special for lunch and the soups, salads and sandwiches are all yummy. Stop in for lunch or grab food and dessert to go! You won't be disappointed. read more

Midtown Bakery & Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Negaunee, Michigan

This place is wonderful. Lunch was delicious. I had soup and husband had a sandwich and both were amazing. It is a cute little place and has a bakery in it with yummy baked goods. The cookies were delicious. Service is great. read more

Sad and incredibly over priced! These previous reviews must be by the owners or family members. I literally left hungry. The 1/2 sandwich and macaroni salad couldn't satisfy a toddler. I firmly believe the economy is to blame but the offering was way over priced at $13!! Look at the pictures if you feel I'm stacking the deck here! The U.P. and the greater Negaunee area used to be a great place to enjoy with reasonable places to visit and eat. Today sadly, not so much. read more

Midtown Bakery & Cafe - 1/2 Italian sandwich, macaroni salad, Diet Coke. Cost $13! - Bakeries Near Me - Negaunee, Michigan

Oh yah! The desserts! I love the atmosphere and the people are super friendly! Thanks Midtown for being so Awesome!

When in the North Central U.P., make a trek to Negaunee and the Midtown Bakery. You will be treated to warm, genuine friendliness and more deliciousness than your diet can probably handle. My Three-Cheese Panini, custom made with my cheese choices, was perfectly grilled on Sourdough and pleased my picky palette with every bite. Their Cole Slaw is fresh, made-on-site and made me want more. I hesitate to mention the Banana Cake, for fear that next time I stop by it may be all gone. What a FAB FIND! This cake would be a major HIT at any fine bakery across the U.P., Michigan or the entire Lower 48 (plus all ten Provinces and three Territories to the North). In other words, this cake is worthy of Trans-Continental consideration. No slight intended to the Yooper Pasty, but Midtown Bakery is many notches up the culinary ladder. Let this become the Gold Standard for good eats in the Upper Peninsula. KUDOS and continued success! Quoting Arnold, "I'll be back!" read more

Support small businesses! read more

Shockingly busy for a what is a really quiet little town! But the staff was friendly and moving quickly so I didn't have a wait at all. Simple salad and sandwich options, and a nice list of soups. I didn't have time for dessert but I'd definitely make time next time :) read more

Visiting here on vacation, and what a great stop for food. Good food, great desserts and outstanding customer service. Perfect family friendly place! read more

I'm never disappointed with this quaint, hometown antique shop and cafe. The food is unique and good and worth the little extra price you'll pay. I always have the fresh made soup of the day...always hearty and very tasty. Yesterday I tried the chicken Peppadew panini and I'm still dreaming about it! The only menu drawback is the turkey for any sandwich is smoked and I'm not a fan of smoked turkey (my personal taste so no star is detracted) so I always opt for chicken selections. It is a bakery after all so trying one of their luscious bakery selections is a must. This place is not to be missed! (Suggestion: in the winter the floor is very cold so wear extra socks or your feet will feel like chunks of ice ) read more

Stopped here this morning for a quick sandwich. Had a Tomatoe, Basil Pesto, with onion pannini. Was delicious, service was quick, and a great cup of coffee to boot. Thanks for a great day starter. read more

This place is great! Love the atmosphere, love the food. Last time I ate there I had the BLT, which was likely the best BLT I've ever had?? Service is great, baked goods are great. My work regularly orders bagged or catered lunches for events and it's always good. read more

The food is very well priced and good but the downside to the place is some chairs were very wobbly

If you are looking for a place that serves some of the best desserts in the U.P. (especially in the Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming area), look no further than Midtown Bakery. I have used them a few times in the past and always forget now that I live in Ishpeming that they are so close! I have tried out the Bakeries in Marquette and nothing comes close to the innovative flavors and personal touches that they give you at Midtown.

Gingersnap Cookies keep me traveling from all over to come to Negaunee. Thanks for all of the other great food. Looking forward to the summer specials. read more

Love this place. Met the owner at a chamber function, and we have been fast friends since. Love the friendly staff, and the great atmosphere. And the food? The food is fantastic. And the desserts are truly something to brag about. The only thing complaining about their cookies and cheesecake (CHEESECAKE!!!) is my waistline. I don't eat out much, but will be frequenting here more. read more

I have loved this place sense it opened when I was in the 8th grade. I don't live in Negaunee anymore but when I go home I always make a point of having lunch at Midtown. Great sandwiches and baked goodies. read more

Best place in Michigan's UP to get an amazing slice of their wonderful cheese cakes and a great cup of coffee. Come on by, you won't be disappointed! read more

Best ginger snaps ever!!! Every time I come back up north to visit family we always stop into Midtown. The decor is very cute and the atmosphere is comfortable. You instantly feel like you are at home. They are very kind and prompt and even though they are extremely busy you would never know because the service never lacks. The cheesecakes, cookies etc are fantastic but the ginger snaps take the cake! They are super thin, chewy and they taste like little discs of heaven. The sandwiches are yummy too! The Chicken a Peppadew is my favorite. Next time you are in Negaunee make sure to check it out! read more

Love it! So cute and quaint. I love the antique yet homey feel on the inside. Oh, the homemade food is great too!!!! All together, I'm glad my ole hometown of Negaunee has something like this. Now..what to do with all the antique stores......? read more

I went here on vacation and loved my food! Plus, the sugar cookies were AMAZING.

This is an amazing oasis of color and comfort - unexpected in the middle of downtown Negaunee! I was visiting from out of town with friends, and was so happy to find it. My friend was lucky enough to get a pumpkin parfait (a seasonal delight), and I opted for a delicious raspberry bar. Service is friendly and fast. Don't miss it if you're spending some time in the Marquette area. read more

I love this place!!!! Its so good and so cute inside! If you are in the area, you must go!

I love their salted caramel bars. Shortbread cookie, caramel with chocolate ganache topped with sea salt. I stop in often and get 3 or 4. Gone a few times and they have sold out. Yes they are that good. They also have great cheesecake. read more
