Upon entering, the farm has a unique ambiance to it. The main building where the canned goods and donuts are has a farmhouse vibe while the dining building is your typical backyard bar. They have a variety of pizza options and are wood fired, so they make for some great pizza. They get drinks out quick, food even faster, and all with the help of pagers to tell you when your food is ready. The staff are all very friendly and it makes for a good environment for a date, family outing, or just a friendly hangout.

While searching for a baker for our wedding, I got a chance to try and meet a few bakers from the…read morebridal show in Charlevoix. Because there were so many, I ended up getting a couple of the bakers confused. But regardless, I made an appointment for my fiancé (ATT) and I to head up north for a couple tasting appointments. Again, to my surprise, this location was at the baker's home, which was gorgeous! It sat behind a lake and we entered through the back door that led straight into the kitchen. You could definitely tell that this baker knew what she was doing because everything was laid out beautifully and organized. We had one of the last appointments and thought we would be sitting one-on-one with the baker, but noticed it was more like a tasting buffet, where we got to mix and match different flavor cakes and frostings, which was nice because we could talk about each one in private. There was a couple girls assisting the couples and available for any questions we had and even had several binders full of past wedding/celebration cakes. My personal favorite was the vanilla bean cake but had a hard time choosing a frosting. Personally, the frosting was a bit too sweet for me. We ended up not going with BED for our wedding, but definitely thought the price was similar to the bakers around northern Michigan. I believe there was an minimum of $250 that we had to spend, especially because it was going to be delivered to Castle Farms in Charlevoix, which isn't bad. But we ended up going with a baker in SE Michigan for $150 for the same amount of cake/cupcakes for 50-60 people.

We happened upon Brennan's completely by accident after getting out of the car to check out a mural. We stopped in for coffee, started chatting with the owner, and she suggested that we go check out another mural nearby. So obviously we did. That mural led us to THREE more, and suddenly what had started as simply stopping to look at some art turned into this completely unplanned, ridiculously fun date exploring murals and places we never would have found otherwise. And the coffee was so good that what was supposed to be a random stop has now turned into us coming back every morning since. The drinks are fantastic, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the kind of local hospitality where someone takes the time to say, "Hey, if you liked that, you should go see this..." is exactly what makes discovering a small business so special. Brennan's didn't just become part of our date they helped create the date. Five stars for the coffee, the kindness, and for accidentally sending us on one of our favorite spontaneous adventures.

I ordered an iced dirty chai which is my go to at coffee shops. Pros: the service was good. Cons: it was $10 which is diabolical, it tastes like water, and didn't even have good ice cubes lol. I saw a handful of other folks in there holding coffees and they all looked too watery or milky.

Staff was very friendly and patient with the chaos in the store. The place is pretty big, and a little confusing with two separate lines, plenty of people and you still want to see what baked goods they have. And they do carry a huge selection of baked goods. We got a breakfast burrito, bagel with avocado and tomato (vegan), giant cinnamon roll, apple fritters, one regular coffee and iced matcha latte with oat milk. Total $35 plus they charge you for cc payment. Not cheap. The bagel was delicious, chewy and fresh, hubby enjoyed the burrito even if a little small for the price, , the apple fritter was too dry, not many apples were there. Cinnamon roll very good. Iced matcha was good, but the coffee was very mediocre. They have a huge sitting area where we relaxed and enjoyed our food.
