A little pricy but delicious. On this island there isn't many food choice, this place we have gone to twice was always packed. Had seating inside and outside. Breakfast and lunch options. I got the blueberry turnover both times I went you can tell it was fresh and delicious both times. The donuts are thicker (not like krispy creams). The French fries were cooked perfect. Everything we all ordered was cooked to perfection and delicious. We ended up sitting inside the first time and outside the next. If you're in town this is a great morning stop. read more

Wild Strawberry Cafe - Smash burger - Delis Near Me - Beaver Island, Michigan

This place is pretty reliable and compared to the lackadaisical standards on the island service is pretty prompt. The food is good.and they have decent coffee. I also like being so close to the water and the porch. One thing that was a bit of a bummer was getting my chips in a bag with my sandwich. It feels a little too pricey to just be getting a bag of 99 lays as a side read more

Friendly staff with good service but on the slower side. Clean and open seating both indoors and outdoors. Ended up getting the Reuben, which was tasty. read more

The restaurant seems more efficient in terms of ordering and serving. My breakfast burrito was dry, but still tasty. The server brought food without setups. Good coffee. Great desserts for sale - chocolate torte was yummy. read more

We found this to be a very nice restaurant for either eating in or taking out. They serve breakfast and and lunch, we're three different sizes of coffee with a bakery. Service is really good , friendly and fast. They have roughly seven tables inside and five or six outside. It's a very nice storefront. read more

They have a captive audience here but they don't take it for granted. The food items are very tasty and they can accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions (veg, dairy free, etc.) read more

This place is adorable and has such a great selection of dishes that it is hard to choose just one . I decided on the Baja bowl and it didn't disappoint. It was hands down the best Baja bowl that I've ever had . Everything was so fresh . read more

Wonderful food and even better owners! Don't miss this experience on the magical Beaver Island!

Upon entering the cafe (our first time and our last time) we looked around trying to see whether we needed to wait to be seated or seat ourselves. A man in an apron who had previously ignored us said to come with him and he takes off into the kitchen. We were so confused as we didn't know where to go but knew it wasn't the kitchen. He then appears behind the counter and rudely asks us if this is our first time in a restaurant, laughing at us. We joked back but it clearly was rude as he said it 3 more times. At no time did we see a seat yourself sign or order here sign. The food was fine but nothing that would make us want to come back, ever! And he ignored us when we came in as we stood there looking around and he says "I'll be right with you." And later we find out he was talking to his wife! Very poor customer service! We both can take a joke but his joke clearly was not funny and he meant to belittle us. read more

Although the selection of restaurants on Beaver Island is small, they don't skimp on quality or flavor. At least that's what I took from my experience at Dalwhinnie, where I had two meals in one day on a recent trip to the island. A mere 1/2 mile from the center of downtown and next to McDonaugh's grocery, Dalwhinnie boasts a large front porch facing Paradise Bay, with lots of tables for outdoor dining. For breakfast, I decided on the Lake Michigan Eggs Benedict. I don't know why I never thought of this one, because it's essentially the love child of two of my favorite brunch dishes -- Eggs Benedict and Lox Bagels. With some fresh arugula to accompany, it was even more delicious than I had hoped for. We got a small coffee at breakfast, which came with free refills -- a nice perk! We returned later the same day after a 20 mile bike ride, ready for something else tasty. I had a hard time deciding, as all of the wraps and sammies had delicious-sounding descriptions. Chicken ranch wrap was the winner, and it didn't disappoint. Chicken, ranch, cheese, spinach, and tomato were tucked into a lightly grilled wrap, with some crunchy pickle slices on the side. I don't remember the last time I went to the same restaurant twice in one day, but I hope that my next trip to Beaver Island has me doing the same again at Dalwhinnie! read more

This place is a gem -- best breakfast burrito in the Midwest according to my friend Tory. Bryan and Natalie are culinary wizards.

Good food. Great pizza. Highly recommend "The Dewhinnie". Love sitting out on the porch with a nice breeze and great view of the harbor.

The lowest rating for this restaurant in 20 years. Eggs over medium resulted in one over too easy and one broken yolk hard as a rock. Toast was untoasted! Basically raw bread. Coffee used to be Starbucks with several options. Now very basic and not very good. My spouse's avocado toast was also on raw bread. Both meals pretty much inedible. read more

$5 slice of pizza and a pop was a quick and affordable bite, very fresh , excellent quality. You can tell it was home made, will be back for more. read more

This is like Grandma's house on a Sunday morning. Super cute, quaint atmosphere with delicious looking bakery goods filling the display case. The menu is very extensive which was unexpected since it is located on an island with 350 residents. We were just here this past weekend, so it was after the busy summer season and I am not sure how late they stay open during the year but I hope they never close for the locals. I would not mind coming to have breakfast here every day if I was a local on the island. Friendly ladies running the place. The food is delicious with expected portions. The worst thing in the world is expecting more food than you actually get - not the case here. They have bagel sandwiches, breakfast skillets, classic breakfast items and more. I showed up with 25 people and it didn't seem to overwhelm then in the least. The best part is that our food came out still relatively quickly and didn't look like or taste like it was done in two seconds. All around a wonderful place to check out if you find yourself on Beaver Island! read more

Wild Strawberry Cafe - Terrific setting. Nice store layout. - Delis Near Me - Beaver Island, Michigan

Wow! We got lucky! This place was right next door to the place we stayed at, and heard how good it was. The baked goods looked amazing, but I got the Signature Omelet which was delicious. Awesome coffee selection too. Can't wait to come back to the island, and hit this place for lunch! read more

Brian and Natalie brought a level of quality you get only in European cafes. Their hand tossed pizza and BLT with avocado is delicious. Great location for eating clean food. A gift to this incredible boating destination. read more

Ate here every morning while I was on the island. Great food and a nice harbor view when eating on the porch. Try the Irish skillet for breakfast with rye toast. mmm read more

Who wouldda thunk an unassuming place like Dalwhinnie would have such amazing culinary offerings? I admit I didn't. But I was quickly won over by the Portobello Mushroom Sandwich, Tart Cherry Bars and even my breakfast. The food was simply amazing. I highly recommend Dalwhinnie Bakery and make sure you hide your Tart Cherry Bars because someone WILL steal them from you! read more

After Labor Day, on Beaver Island, not much is open, but after hiking was so grateful, that this place was.. It's usually about a 20 min wait for the sandwich. I had the Talk Turkey Sandwich, with apple jam and melted Brie cheese (no onion), and it was worth the wait.. Best Turkey Sandwich! Also their frozen coffee drinks are good, and their one shot of espresso is $1! TIP: Order your sandwich for here or to go, and wander next door to McDonough Market to buy some NEON SPARKLERS! Or Beaver Island postcards, then go back to eat your sandwich. Hopefully you won't feel bad, when you see the real turkeys on Beaver Island! read more

Awesome little spot overlooking the harbor! Don't go if you're in a hurry, but my list of favorites is LONG: sticky buns, cold-brewed coffee, breakfast sandwiches, fresh-made cookies, veggie burger that was the best I've ever had! Highly recommend! read more

We had breakfast on the porch. Could not have been better. Order at the counter and they bring food to your table. Busy but what's the hurry you should be on island time. Ant d the food was excellent, home cooked quality in a wonderful location. read more

I was on Beaver Island for just a couple of days due to a funeral. I walked to Dalwhinnie's each morning and enjoyed every breakfast. The butterscotch muffins were delicious (and sinful), also tried the oatmeal/quinoa bowl and was very satisfying. The service was friendly and customer oriented. read more

Great food, but in this time of Covid several of the employees don't have on masks while making or handling food. They do make sure customers have it on. I stopped in 5 times and it was still happening. read more

Great place for breakfast on the island. Eggs, bacon and breakfast skillets are all prepared well and tasty. I am a fan of the "order at the counter" system as well, where they bring the food out to you. Friendly folks running the place, and nice outdoor seating in the summer. read more

This was our favorite breakfast and lunch spot. The bread is fresh and is very tasty, especially the multigrain versions. Whitefish anything is good (right, Michiganders?) and their sandwich is deeelish, fried lightly and served with a heap of fresh slaw and a dollop of Russian dressing. Mmm. The patio is the best way to enjoy a sunny day on the harbor. read more

Great sandwiches. Fresh bread baked on site, fresh ingredients and meats are organic. Their espresso drinks are wonderful. Prices are EXTREMELY reasonable. Will definitely be back for more. read more
