“Stopped in yesterday morning for some yumminess!! So glad I did!! The morning roll is amazing! And hubby never praises cookies I bring him but he couldn't say enough great things about each cookie. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm home.“

“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 ?☀️“

“Toddler and mama “approved” and loved. I’ve heard of Slabtown cookie but we just ventured our way to try it for ourselves and WOW, no picture or words can give justice to how their sweets taste. My son has happy to say the least 😋“

“Lemon lavender cookies. 🎤 drop“

“My wife and I were looking for a taste of home while we were away on honeymoon. We decided to come by Hexenbelle for its food and drink. We not only found the familiar flavors of fresh bread, savory olive, and creamy labneh, but we found a warmth from the surrounding atmosphere and staff. We were immersed in light toned woods, lush green plants, and ample sunlight, as if we were relaxing in a sunroom or a garden.

We had an opportunity to speak to the owner, Chris, who welcomed us and gave us his attention despite also running the kitchen. Chris has been doing a great service to bring hearts and minds together for peace, prosperity, and freedom, both within Traverse City and for the Palestinian people. His love and passion shows in every dish he crafts, and we are forever grateful for the warmth, friendship, and hospitality that he extended us.

Hexenbelle is truly a rare and valuable gem amongst the many cafes and eateries in the area. I believe Hexenbelle is the best and only choice for authentic Palestinian cuisine and hospitality in Traverse City.

“I was very disappointed with my donuts. As it is they were kinda pricey. But I really don’t mind paying if it’s worth it. I took my donuts home and out the bag and my nutty donut were gross. It was like they got wet I don’t know what happen to them. I had the little nutty donut hole before and they tasted good. This was the regular size donut. I seen on the receipt they offer a refund. But such an inconvenience to drive the way back and have to wait in line. Especially when you worked all night. Who wants a wet & cold nutty donut. I know I don’t. Sorry Pottery Bakery. You got a thumbs down from me.!“

“When I am not eating homemade bread, I am loving your multi grain bread!😋 So glad my local grocery store has it.“

“At The Bake Shop, there is alot of good bread and cookies and sweet breads for sale for reasonable cost“

“I'm not a whiskey drinker, but my partner is, so we choose this cool looking place! It's in an converted old building easily located on a corner. Nice ambiance on the inside with high top tables spread out nicely. The recommendation for a new an 'entry level' whiskey drinker was a Cherry Whiskey Sour. It was smooth with a mild, pleasant cherry flavor. I'll definitely get another one! Or try something different from the interesting list of drinks. My partner had the There were some very appealing hot drinks on the menu, too. A number of simple appetizers were available. We sat outside near heat lamps. The Staff was friendly and the bartender very helpful! Glad we stopped and we look forward to returning!“

“Cute shop, & fun selection for ice cream. The fudge latte is great!“

“Great coffee house! The scones are my favorite, especially the lemon glazed blackberry. Love their iced mochas and the atmosphere. Dog biscuits get a thumbs up as well. Small interior, and minimal seating but they keep it from getting too packed.“

“Nancy was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding at Castle Farms! She made our cake and dessert table. The desserts were flying off the table and our guests all raved about how yummy everything was. Nancy was accommodating to our schedules for our cake tasting since we lived out of state and had great communication. Highly recommend! (photo of cake by Sidney Bischer Photography).“

“Stopped here on our way out of town and SO glad we did!!! The gingerbread latte and chestnut mocha are both to die for! The molasses cookie that came with the gingerbread latte was also amazing. On top of that, the atmosphere is so cool. Definitely do yourself a favor and stop by when you’re in Sutton’s Bay!“

“I didn't actually go to the bakery part of the store, but was just in general, shopping. They have everything I need but I just wish that their prices were a little cheaper? Probably not going to happen for a while yet. Your store could HUGELY benefit from wide mirrors on the end of every intersection, so I don't crash into anyone next time!!“

“Holy cow! This place amazing!

The vibe and atmosphere alone is so chic and bohemian! It’s a chill space with a lot of seating options and outdoor seating!

Service was amazing! Very friendly and prompt and for being a first timer and struggling with what to order, the person taking my order wasn’t wrong what to get!

I order an Iced Vanilla Latte (and being told that the vanilla syrup was homemade was definitely a draw), and also got an Outpost chop and all I can say is WOW!

*Add-On* The Spicy Italian, was a lot lol. If you aren’t ready for that much meat then this isn’t the sandwich for you. Kind of which it had alittle more of a kick but it was good.

**Add-On** On a cold chilly and rainy day, I had to get the tomato soup and let me say….WOW! It was so good! Also got the
Chicken Avocado, and my only small complaint is that I which it had MORE avocado.“
