On the road to the Old Mission General Store

Wonderful atmosphere. Marcy is a sweetheart. The chocolate chip cookies she bakes are amazing! The drive out there from Traverse City is beautiful.

This is our favorite place to revisit often! Delicious food, cheese, deli selection and old fashioned treats and canned goods.

Oh yeah Hotel happiness !

On October 23, 2019, I had to make a "History" stop before wine tasting based on a positive referral from Kim at the Days Inn Hotel in Traverse City. It is located as #29 on the Old Mission Peninsula map. (photo attached). This is the Original General Store and Trading Post since 1839. The inside and outside is like going back in time from an old TV show called "The Waltons." While I was walking around inside from isle to isle viewing shelf areas of merchandise, my steps could be heard on the creaky noises from the Wood floors! Eat in or carry out from the Cafe & Bakery with speciality sandwiches, pizza, ice cream; coffee drinks, candy and even Pickles from barrels. Shop for items for a picnic such as wine, beer and "booze" or spirits. Walking through the whole store is wonderful to see "Antiques" of all kinds from the years of the 1930's, 40's and 50's. A few female employees working were even dressed in the attire from the era with aprons, hats and boots. I bought some penny candy from glass jars that were sold by the pound. (Photo attached ). What a "Back In Time", store called Old Mission General Store which is part of the Peninsula located at 18250 Mission Road. I highly recommend this tourist stop on the Mission Peninsula map before, during or after Wine Tasting. It's has a true unique part of history in Traverse City. "Bookmark" this business to stop here and see all the cool items inside, that will take you back in time with many fond memories of all! This store is Open Year Round !

A gem of a store. They have everything from cast iron skillets to penny candy to local wine. Storekeepers were so personable and helpful.

This place is something between a Whole Foods/Trader Joes and a farmer's market on steroids. Really…read moreclean and well lit. The focus is on locally sourced foods and more environmentally-conscious ways of food shopping. I got a sushi roll (tuna/salmon/avocado) for $13.99 that was a bit better than typical "grocery store sushi," similar to Whole Foods quality. The meat selection is also great - I got a ribeye steak and a Snake River Farms American Wagyu Zabuton steak; obviously a little pricey but fair for the quality! I also got a sugar free vanilla oatmilk latte from the coffee bar and it was really good. I would love to have a store like this by my house in Grand Rapids for my routine shopping.

Between this co-op store and the other one nearby I believe they both have their pros and cons. I…read moreenjoy this store the most just because it has fresh hot dogs that you can grab and go. They have plant-based hot dogs too! This store feels more like a true grocery store from a big box chain but it does feature more items compared to the other one in the city. Staff here was very friendly , prices here were pretty fair, there's plenty of parking and even nearby stores too. This is perfect if you are in this part of the area. I did feel like there were less vegan options here for my wife's preference then compared to the other store. Overall, i did had a great experience here. Highly recommend coming here for those that are health conscious.
