Johan's is definitely a Petoskey staple... it has been around since 1958! I remember stopping in as…read morea kid when I spent time each summer in Northern MI, and I don't think it has changed much since then (we'll just say that was the 1990's for now). I recently stopped in on July 4th and picked up a dozen red, white and blue decorated cookies to bring to a friend's house that was entertaining. I found some with fireworks decorations and some with smiley faces. Needless to say, they were well received by the hostess and the guests enjoyed them. Even on a busy holiday morning, there were delicious looking donuts and baked goods, and the aroma brought back all kinds of emotions from my childhood too. Johan's is old school but that never goes out of style. Service was not the friendliest but it was not bad. You order at the counter and pay and you're out... easy peasy. While I took my cookies to go, there are some tables outside if you wanted to sit down for a few and enjoy your treats there. If you're in the area, definitely stop by Johan's for a tasty pastry (or two) and cup of coffee!

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.

Imagine Crumbl Cookie, but 10x better, with all the charm and cozy feel of a local bakery. The cookies are indulgent, creative, and honestly just SO good. The service was also excellent! Everyone was attentive, prompt, and incredibly welcoming. The store itself is very clean and a little on the bare side, but still cute and inviting. And an added bonus--they also have Moomers ice cream! Definitely some of the best cookies in town. If you're in Petoskey or Traverse City, JoJo's is absolutely worth stopping by for a cookie (or five ). I'll definitely be back! Also worthy to note that you can order them online if you're not nearby!
