    Since 1929

    Stopped here for donuts and pastry when running around in the morning. A cool old school bakery / donut shop that should not be missed. Very friendly and helpful service and excellent treats. My wife loved her custard Bismarck and the pecan pastry was truly next-level if you enjoy that pecan sticky bun life. And I do! No surprise that they've been here since 1929, it's a great local spot for sweet rolls. Will try the cookies and cinnamon bread next time!

    What a great little bakery! Finally, a bakery in town that opens before 8 AM! They have a huge assortment of donuts, pastries, and muffins. I had a pumpkin doughnut and it was crispy and delectable. They also offer coffee and tea as well as other cold beverages. Staff was very friendly and the location is easy to find.

    I was recommended to visit this place when I was traveling to Traverse City, Michigan and I recommend you to visit them too! I love walking into bakeries and that sweet smell of the pastries hits you in the face, and especially ones like Potters bakery with inviting employees and so soft donuts! I was originally only going to by three donuts and ended up walking out with half a dozen because they all looked so good! The filling in the donuts were plentiful and went well with the donut itself. They have so much more than donuts though that is worth trying for sure.

    Customer service was spot on and the sweets were good too. We honestly prefer Johanns in Petoskey and Harbor Sorings but Potters is definitely our 2nd fave! Lots of choices and delish!

    We tried this little bakery while visiting and it was a delicious little stop. Freshly baked everything donuts, breads,pastries,etc. we had donuts and they were yummy. We only went once because there are so many great bakeries in the area. The employees were all very nice and helpful as well.

    Birthday cake!

    See all

    Potter's is a staple of Traverse City. Donuts are always fantastic and people are always friendly.
