I love delis and this one did not disappoint. If I lived closer, I would eat there very frequently! My kid loved his peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Diners place their orders at the counter where the friendly staff hands out drink cups, dishes up cups or bowls of soup or fruit, cookies or brownies and slices of quiche. They deliver the remainder of the food to your table. I ordered a grilled sandwich on cherry pecan bread and filled with white cheddar and bacon. It came with a small bag of plain potato chips and a quarter slice of pickle. Along with a fountain soda, the total rang up to $16+. While tasty, the sandwich seemed small and nothing spectacular. I hoped they might have slipped in a juicy slice of tomato (Julienne Tomato after all). My friend ordered quiche, a cup of fresh fruit and a double-chocolate brownie along with her drink. She said it was "good."

The sandwich was very big, and I certainly could have split it! I would certainly order this again. We ate inside. They have a few bar stools against a window counter.

They were extremely busy and the ambiance was also just OK for my liking. It's a cool spot and I'm sure it would be even better if it wasn't so slammed. Their lunch options looked really good.

I use to come to Scalawags many years ago when it was in the same building where Crooked Tree Breadworks is now located. This was around 2009-13. This was one of my favorite food spots. The whitefish pieces were huge, juicy and delicious. So, I moved out of Michigan for 10 years, and came back 4 years ago. I was excited to make a work trip to Petoskey recently. I saw Scalawags and shared it with my friend, who equally missed it. After I placed my order and received this (see photo). It's a far cry from the past. I know inflation has hit us pretty hard and companies have to adjust, but i just can't pay for nostalgia and receive this product. It's not the same product or quality.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to visit until near the end of the day and at that point they had sold out of most of their items, including the famous pepper parmesan rolls. They still had a few items left and we decided to pick up two of them. Kouign Amann ($4.95) - The caramelization of the sugar on this pastry is on point. The bottom has a layer of sugar that has melted into a glaze with extreme caramelization, almost on the verge of being burnt. If it had been left in the oven for a few moments more, it would probably have started to develop an acrid taste. Luckily, it was pulled out at just the right time. Even the sides of this pastry have been graced with sweetness and a top layer of thicker sugar crystals/grains adds an amazing crunch. While the kouign amann may not have as many thin laminated layers as a croissant, there is still an excellent buttery interior which helps balance the outside sweetness. The interior is fluffy and layered well into an even honey comb pattern. This kouign amann exceeded my expectations. (5/5) 3:00 O'clock Baguette ($5.90) - Yikes, this is by far the most expensive baguette I've ever bought. I was kind of dreading it when I first felt the baguette through the bag - it seemed a bit soft and limpy. When I tore into it soon afterwards, I found my concerns to be somewhat unfounded. By somewhat I mean that yes, there is hardly a crust on the baguette, but the interior still exhibits a nice chew and the flavor is very well developed. It's a decent baguette, but nothing outstanding. Perhaps the crust would be better earlier in the day when fresh baked? (4/5) I was definitely surprised by the quality of the baked goods at Crooked Tree Breadworks. I'll have to revisit earlier in the day on my next visit to the area so I can try more of their breads and pastries.
