13 Best Cafes in Traverse City

“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.“

“Atmosphere is really nice for being a little Airport cafe. All the staff was super nice and joking away with all of us. Which was not easy because there were delays of airline flights of 12 hours and more. So they were swamped with people. Food was delicious and coffee was great too! Thank you so much! This Cafe made our long wait through the snow storm so much easier!“

“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!“

“This is my favorite Restaurant in Traverse City! The food is so good, I found myself coming in 3-4 times a week! I highly recommend this place!“

“Wonderful service and good food 🍲“

“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!!“

“This is a wonderfully curated, warm little spot, that has IMMACULATE pastries! Like seriously, how can somebody make stuff so tasty? We got some maritozzi, which were semi-sweet brioche filled with house-made whipped cream.

My girlfriend had a blueberry cream Danish that was suuuuuuuper tasty, and really interesting in its layering. Instead of the traditional, basic layering, this almost seemed to have much more crisp, yet dense layering. My descriptors are super duper getting away from me here, but anyway, they were phenomenal on all counts.

Support local: buy a croissant from a kind local baker!“

“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.“

“GREAT gin and tonic. I have to visit every time I am in the OMB area. This last time the new (to me) bartender was great - super friendly, good sense of humor, very helpful. He made sitting at the bar a fun experience! I hope he is there the next time we visit.“

“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“
