I have been wanting to try this sandwich shop for SO long! Every time we tried to go this summer,…read morethe wait was just too long. This time, we called ahead and placed an order for three sandwiches: the Lake Street, the Bear, and the Leelanau. It took about an hour and a half before we could pick them up, but they were definitely worth the wait! The sandwiches came wrapped in paper and tucked into a paper bag, which we thought was kind of fun and added to the experience. The sandwiches were absolutely delicious! We loved the variety of breads, which were so fresh, and the cheese was absolutely excellent. Everything tasted high-quality and fresh. Our only complaint was that the Bear could have used a little more salami. Other than that, we loved everything and are so glad we finally got to try this place. We'll definitely be back!

I called about status, was told the owner was busy. I asked to have the order cancelled, and then the owner came on the line. He told me they were short staffed but that he would ship as soon as he could. I received shipment confirmation later that day. I finally received the shipment via UPS Ground 8 days later; it was left in the sun, packaging was quite warm and all the cheese was melted. I called and they said "sorry" but no offer to make it right. Don't offer shipping if you can't do it right. Not ready for prime time. Update: Gary called back and made it right, so that's a win.

THE. MOST. DELICIOUS. PASTRIES. EVER…read more On our roadtrip, we stopped at the Crooked Tree looking for a local coffee shop. What greeted us was the most delightful case of pastries and loaves of breads. This is a bakery with no seating. Looks to be a large operation that might deliver breads and baked goods locally. There is a bread case, a pastry case, and lots of merch. A very patient young lady was working the counter on the morning we stopped. It took me a while to decide because I wanted one of everything, but had no business doing that! She patiently and quietly waited. Finally, I settled on a ham and cheese croissant and a cherry and white chocolate scone. My husband had a raspberry danish. I did get a drip coffee in the end. The ham and cheese croissant was crisp and flaky with the perfect balance of hame and gruyere. I have not had a scone this good. Ever. Not even in Ireland! If you "do not like scones," these are worth the try! We snacked on the pastries in the car so along with Lake Michigan sand, my car now has lots of flakes of our delicious pastries. Like sand, it's impossible not to leave remnants of the goodness behind. Tip: if you are not local, buy more than you need!! I wish I had.

They have a variety of sandwiches from healthy to not so healthy but all are delicious and fresh. Their shop has some outside seating but they no longer have inside seating. You can call or go online to place an order, or head to the shop as well. Their menu is extensive and inside the shop they have a selection of assorted sides like chips, crackers, olives, drinks etc. it is fun to peruse and pick up some local kettle chips or a snack to accompany the sandwich deliciousness. On a non-busy day it usually take 10-15 minutes to complete and order, but on a weekend give it 45 minutes so as to provide enough time for your meal to be perfect. The sandwiches are fresh and hand made per order so you get all the goodness of right now packed with flavor. My husbands favorite has chicken, cheese, avocado, mayo, red onions and an assortment of yummy spices that keep him coming back again and again. He honestly tried to make this at home a few times but it never matched and so he decided instead to book an annual trip to Lake Street Market instead! I've tried their Miss Fit Attends Services which is a vegetarian option that is very hardy and full of taste. I also like their salads and assortment of chips! All in all it is a must visit if you are in the area, or worthy of a day trip if not!

The smoked turkey soup had thin consistency and had an extremely smoky taste. The chicken soup had too many flavors going on and did not blend well. Berry scone was soft and baked to perfection.

It appeared that this would be a special place so we made a reservation for the next week, July 23rd at 6pm. On July 23rd, circumstances found us away from Charlevoix and so at 11:30am I called to cancel the reservation. Here is where it gets a little crazy. The owner answers and he becomes angry with me for canceling. He wants to know why. I explain we are out of town. He says, "Oh, so you are the only one with a life and you think you are very important". I apologize that we cannot make the reservation, he says,"Don't ever call here again" and then disconnects the call before I can respond. I was about to spend $300 to $400 on a meal at this restaurant, very strange customer service. Giving a restaurant plenty of notice (7 hours), I have never experienced rudeness on this level before.
