9 Best Cafes near Interlochen

“I have yet to meet a student at Interlochen that doesn't have at least two or three good things to say about the Melody Freeze, or MoFro in the 'student dialect'. I can confirm, after numerous firsthand experiences, that all the good things the students say are true!I mean really, how can you go wrong, it's got thick milkshakes, good coffee, fruity smoothies, wonderful soft serve ice cream, delicious pizza and so many more things it's easy to lose count... The prices are 'reasonableish', the staff is friendly & fast and the things you hear the students talking about while you wait in line with them are usually worth the few $ you're spending anyway!If you stay at the Stone Hotel, on campus, they give you a token to use at the MoFro, I highly suggest using it, no matter the Season. Whether staying on campus or dropping in for the day, you will be pleasantly surprised by the selection and happy with whichever treat you choose, I'm nearly certain of it. Enjoy!

Kid-friendliness: This would be a great place for kids. The menu is easy to see, there is plenty of room to run around while waiting and most everything you can order is filled with sugary goodness...

Parking: The parking on campus is plentiful, but not near the Melody Freeze as it's a 'walk up' kinda place, at least 100ft from the nearest parking spot...

Wheelchair accessibility: The Melody Freeze and most of the Interlochen campus would be considered wheelchair accessible.“

“Awesome people and vibes!! Inclusive and friendly, food is great and there are delicious healthy options as well. Beers are local and on point. We are regulars now - the Bamber beer is great. Pricing is very fair and portions are substantial.“

“We held our outdoor wedding vows and celebration here and couldn’t have been happier! We wanted a casual, indoor/outdoor venue that would provide our guests with a laid back atmosphere to connect and celebrate. This venue was perfect for us! We also loved that we were able to rent out the upstairs apartment for the weekend, too. It was so convenient and made set up easier on the day of.“

“I am only rating because I have been there a few times with many people and just a couple. Every time the food is great and service spectacular. The kitchen crew does a great job from the details (egg poached perfectly) to the variety. Variety with high quality — I get something different every time, and the kitchen has hit a home run each time!“

“Stopped in for lunch yesterday at 130pm and the food was excellent 👌 A little difficult finding the place since we weren't from the area. We recommend the Wisconsin sandwich, Almond chicken salad and the Harvest!! Thanks for the great lunch in Traverse City!!“

“My Mom had the chili & black bean burger. She loved both! I had the French dip and I was great- the chips seemed homemade. A very quaint space too, but small so while we only waited about ten minutes, I would recommend reservations. Though there is plenty of shopping to keep you busy should you need to wait longer.“

“Have been buying Asiago Roasted Garlic bread for years. Great Bread toasted loaded with real garlic cloves. However the last loaf lacked any Garlic at all. Very disappointed is this the new norm to be expected or was this an aberration? The latter I would hope otherwise we will be opting for a new bakery. Have a nice day ?☀️“

“Coffee And baked goods are very good“

“Small quaint makes good memories“
