Good quick stop for a breakfast sandwiches, they do have vegetarian sandwiches plus good coffee. Love the outdoor vibes. If recommended this place for vegetarians ?
Gentlemen who worked at Cherry Republic Glen arbor recommended this spot. Glad he did. Small little take out place. Sandwiches were great. White chicken chili was delicious. Would definitely stop here again if I'm in the area.

We have been on vacation to the Leelanau Peninsula several times. We have to stop at Shipwreck Cafe a few times every time we are up there. Fantastic sandwiches!

My husband and I ordered subs. They were nicely warmed and filled with fresh ingredients. The subs were both really filling. The place was clean and well staffed. Staff was friendly and helpful. My husband also got a cherry chocolate chip cookie, we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Not that we really had room after eating our subs, but sometimes things just look too appealing to pass up.

Food was very good. Cuban sandwich was super. Chocolate chip cherry cookie was dynamite! They gave us the wrong soup but it was still good. Take your meal a couple of blocks down to the lake shore. A perfect lunch stop.

This place really provided a great sub sandwich with a home made sub bun after a long ride to Glen Arbor on my bike! An excellent moist bun filled with a large amount of meats and great Italian dressing. Plus they were accommodating to an allergy. I will definitely be back more often now that I’ve found this little gem of a deli and for sure will give that pizza a try!Dietary restrictions: I was able to have this made without any dairy ingredients.

Every time we run the sleeping bear dune marathon we have to go to Shipwreck Cafe. They have amazing sandwiches. Service is stellar. Sandwiches came out very fast. Sandwiches are delicious and filling. Clever names for their sandwiches on the menu and they also have local branded chips. Highly recommend.Only negative is there is not much room for dine in if it is not nice outside.

We were looking for somewhere to have a bite at lunch. This place was close. The outside did not look like much, but the service was friendly and the food was wonderful!!! I had homemade soup (the owner makes it), they cut up all their own veggies daily, mom makes all the desserts. My friends had salads and thought they got a great amount of salad and lots of chicken. A real family place with home cooked food. Where can you find that kind of thing these days? Go there and have some good food!!
Great little sandwich spot in Empire! Doesn't look like much, but creative selection of tasty sandwiches- SS Nordonic and Rouse Simmons were excellent! Walk over from the Sleeping Bear Dunes Center and grab a bite before hiking the dunes.Vegetarian options: Several solid veggie sandwiches to choose from

We were recommended to try the Shipwreck Cafe by friends. The sandwich’s and service were excellent. The only con was the restrooms were nasty, they looked like they hadn’t been cleaned all summer! If that is the case, I wonder how clean the food prep area is.

Sandwiches here are great. Best chicken salad I've ever had! Breakfast burritos were very good, too. Highly recommend Shipwreck.

The Shipwreck is popular with locals and visitors, with choices for vegetarians and omnivores. We've been twice, and the sandwiches were great both times. We recommended it to friends who liked it as much as we did.
