I am not sure how anyone could give this bakery anything less than 5 stars. I stopped in around 11:00 on a Saturday and the case was filled with delicious looking treats. The employee was so kind and patient while I decided on my order. I got a box full of deliciousness, loaf of fresh bread, three dog treats and a perfect cup of coffee for a mere $18! Unheard of in 2026. I will make sure to come here every time I am in TC!

My husband and I are visiting Traverse City this weekend and I’m so glad we came across this bakery. Everything we tried was so delicious! I was so blown away by the beautiful artistry on the cookies. The employees were so kind and welcoming, we can’t wait to come back and try more goodies!

Every single person who works here is amazing. I visit Potter's every week. I use their treats to build relationships within my profession. They are so beloved within the community, it's always a hit. Thanks guys :) You get a consistent product and the most kind service. The manager, Carlie and all the cashiers are top notch, the absolute best, they feel like friends. Locals know, but if you're visiting- must stop!

So disappointed with the Christmas decorated sugar cookies this year. I have bought cookies from here for many years and they were always wonderful. Hope this was just a fluke and not a continuing decline.

Hi there potters, your probably not gonna read this, but I am from Florida, and my dad recently flew up to Traverse city Michigan for a job and got your donuts and flew them back down here, and I just wanna say they were the greatest donuts I’ve ever had in my entire life, I’m not even exaggerating, they genuinely are. So I just wanna say thank you for the greatest donuts ever :)

The best donuts in town! They are so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend 🩷
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!

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.
