They had a ton of other baked goods options, including pup treats!

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!

I ordered an iced sleeping bear latte (love the name), which was espresso, milk, and lavender vanilla syrup. I typically only drink dairy milk but I chose almond milk as my choice of milk. All syrups are housemade, which I always appreciate. The latte was okay, but there wasn't much flavor and it wasn't as creamy as I would have liked. There's a couple tables inside as well as a nice outdoor seating area.

Filled it up while I waited. I didn't realize it initially but i was charged a dollar for an empty cup by the owner and my goodness did she give a dirty look while she was doing it. I had no idea why but once i walked out and saw the receipt it made more sense. That is unacceptable especially when I had already spent 13$ on two cups of super average coffee. Coffee review - ok coffee. I wasn't sure why there is such a huge line there. Both Mundos and Espresso bay are much better. Don't waste your time waiting in line for mediocre coffee. I wanted to support this local place but there are better options. I'll stick to Mundos.

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!

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.

I hate walnuts and I hate nuts in my bread! I wish they had warned me or had a sign about it. We got the 3 little cinnamon rolls and they were good but Omlette Shoppe has the best cinnamon rolls.

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.
