We found this little gem by accident, so happy we did. Best Danish in very long time. We are from out of town and will visit again before heading home. Thank you 😊 for great food and excellent service.

So many large, beautiful pastries I had a hard time deciding what to get! Definitely takes the spot as my favorite donut shop and I live 2.5 hours away. The staff were super friendly and the prices are very fair for the quality of food, $2-$3 per pastry, and these things are bigger than your hand! Will come again next time I'm in town for work.

Amazing service! I needed a gender reveal cake asap and they were able to help me in just a few days! The cake was delicious and the custard filled longjohn was the best one I've ever had! Highly recommend!

Couldn’t have asked for more for my daughters 16th birthday! Beautiful, Delicious and so amazing to work with!

We were in TVC for three days, and stopped here twice! Their Higher Grounds coffee is delicious. They have any type of dessert you want- cake pops, macarons, cinnamon rolls, donuts, many types of cookies, etc. We tried several things, but our favorite was the fried cinnamon rolls.

I am from Petoskey and go to Traverse a lot. I can't speak for the rest of the doughnuts, but I bought a box of cream filled Long Johns. Best in Northern Michigan. Ill be back often.

Poor service and Bill the owner was rude and impatient even threw a donut at me because I asked if the smell coming from the back was his wife...

Very dry doughnuts felt like they skimp out on ingredients. No fruit in the fritters. Lemon bars were overly sweet tasted fake almost.

My fiancé and I went in as we had never been there before. We got a chocolate raspberry torte and one of the half off cakes they had. The cake was 20 dollars, the torte was 50. I paid 71 dollars.

The half off cake was inedible. Super dry, and the frosting tasted like the coloring. Just wasn’t good. Ok, that’s my bad for buying a half off cake.

The torte was even worse. It was frozen, had ice crystals all over the top that melted and left a white film on the top. Not really appealing the way it looked. For 50 dollars you would think it would be top notch but it’s at par with a cake you’d get from Walmart.

Plenty of bakery’s in TC. Won’t be returning to this one.

Absolutely wonderful!! I bought a box with a bit of everything and it exceeded my expectations by FAR! Friendly staff! Beautiful EVERYTHING!! The biggest croissants I’ve ever seen!! I was sent to the bakery by a lovely lady I encountered at another shop nearby! They didn’t have what I was looking for but Potters had such a variety I could have eaten one of everything!! I will be back every time I’m in Traverse City and also when I can sneak away to make the drive! I cannot wait to visit again on day Tuesday for paqcki 😋🤤😍🤩
