“Fine dining at its best! Gorgeous views, creative and appealing dishes and great staff!”

“If you are in the area, you need to stop in. Wonderful setting, inviting hosts, friendly staff, and the food is fantastic. Highly recommended!”

“This is the cutest coffee shop i have ever stumbled across! The owner is clearly passionate about coffee and gave us different blends to try out. Lots of decaf options as well!”

“I discovered GLTS on an annual trip to Leelanau Peninsula. First thing I bought was the Tuscan Blend. The next two years, made sure to go back and get more. This year, added some tea to my purchase. The Sweatwater Vanilla is amazing and the Orange Cream Vanilla is right along side. Bought Sunburst Ginger as a gift, and the recipient let me know she loved it. The owner is a delightful person to talk with, so if you get a chance, make sure to visit. If you can't go, definitely check out the online order option. GLTS will continue to be a stop on my annual trip.”

“We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner at Nonna’s. The surf and turf were very good. The beet salad, filet and the scallops were very good as well as the presentation and service. It is very convenient to have dinner at Nonna’s and not have to drive on New Years Eve.”

“Best place to get all your Cherry products”

“The atmosphere was just perfect for a cute little local breakfast spot. Walking up to door, outdoor seating area was inviting but we chose inside anyways. Looks smaller from outside but once in, actually cozy big dining area.Service was great, food delicious ( had to try to sour dough bread and mouthwatering coffee cake) which both were above our expectations. We'd definitely be back if in area again.”

“We are local and go almost weekly to The Public House. I have severe gluten issues and they are so careful with my food. They have a dedicated frier for their fries and are open with me about what could be cross contaminated. My food is always fresh and well made. The employees are incredibly kind, professional, and efficient. They help make the visit even better. Shout out to Bridget! She’s just the best. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Glen Arbor.”

“Great place! Friendly staff! Good food! Fun atmosphere! We had dinner and enjoyed it! Keep up the wonderful tradition.”

“Hand pies were fabulous! 😋”

“I just want to say thank you fo taking such great care of us even during these trying times during the pandemic!! You have overnighted us enough product to get us thru the instability of your bean supplier and kept us running strong! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you folks and again it’s such a pleasure to do business with a “Partner” instead of just a supplier!! Thank you again!! Ozark Coffee Company Harrison, AR”

“The Ruben is a must get! That sandwich was very good and the fries were delicious and fried perfectly. The chicken tenders were okay but expensive for what they were. If anything they seemed to be a bit poorer quality.

The staff were awesome and the ability to sit around a nice fire drinking a beer after a 5 mile hike was great. Walked right out of the woods and to whiskers. The whole resort is very nice, would love to see what it is like during ski season.”

“Wonderful food choices and great service. Marsha is the best.”

“Best perch I've ever had!!! Good portions too! Suzie was fantastic!!!”

“Best Boeuf Bourguignon...”

“Great sandwich shop in the area. Loved the pretzel roll buns. Sandwich was very well portioned and will fill you up!”

“Party of four had dinner there on July 4, 2025. Food was good, but not as advertised on the menu. The apple salad was small and did not have candied walnuts on it and the nachos had no cheese on them. The 1/2 ribs that my husband ordered were tasty, but we ended up ordering cheesy fries after our meals because we were still hungry. The ribs came with coleslaw and nothing else.The server was friendly and efficient.”

“When it’s busy, and the fresh waffle cones are so fresh they’re still a little warm and a little soft….its the best!”

“I love coming here every time I’m in town and yesterday didn’t disappoint! And thanks for the great stories Riley! Can’t wait to come back!”

“great food and service, fast and easy.”

“We had the absolute best ever… Ever… Coffee shake. It’s a must!”

“First time back here in probably five years. Thankfully it was exactly how we remembered everything. The food was excellent and service was great too. Hoping to get back up north quicker for our next visit.”

“Dang good food! And a space that is exactly like their name Friendly Tavern!”
