Food Scene

Amazing coffee, friendly staff, great atmosphere! They also have delicious baked goods and breakfast! You'll have to drive or bike here... but they have two locations and the vibe in both is very trendy. A lot of people go here for a work space or to catch up with a friend.

Walk right across 8th street to this amazing bakery!! You can dine in or take out, and they have an extensive menu ALL DAY LONG. The breakfast items are unbelievable (I really loved the whipped ricotta toast!) but they also have pizza's!

The food here is out of this world. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, but we especially love the bean dip (look in the refrigerator) , tamales, and pork tacos!

The newest establishment on Old Mission Peninsula is "Mission Proper" and we are THRILLED to have this awesome spot for live music, great coffee, amazing food, and the best gin and tonic you've ever had. After drinking and dining, walk across the parking lot and check out Tinker Studio for art, books, jewelry, and other unique finds!

Spend the afternoon exploring "The Commons" (The Village at Grand Traverse) - an old state mental hospital that has been given new life after years of neglect. You will not be disappointed after walking through the shops of the Mercado, getting a beer at Earthen Ales, wine at Left Foot Charley, and delicious food at Spanglish. Tip: We like to get Spanglish to-go and eat it at Earthen Ales or Left Foot Charley with our drinks. Both places allow outside food since they do not have their own food menu!

I never walk out of this store empty handed. Jewelry, cards, original art, prints, scarves, books, etc.! There's something for every taste and budget! While you're there, walk across the parking lot and have the best gin and tonic of your life at Mission Proper/Old Mission Distilling.

Recreation

A couple blocks down the road you'll find Elev8, an impressive climbing gym! You can rely on the staff here to hook you up with everything you need to climb - even if you've never tried before, this is a great spot to try something new!

City/town information

"Fishtown" (Leland, MI) is a must see in the summer months. You can walk along the boardwalks and shop and dine in the old fish shanty's. If you are interested in a charter fishing trip or heading over to the Manitou Islands, this is also your launching spot. Grab some whitefish dip and lunch from the cheese shanty!

Drive along Northern Michigan's infamous M-22 and walk around Empire, Glen Arbor, and Fishtown (Leland)! Glen Arbor has great clothing shops (Cottonseed), galleries, and food!

The drive from Traverse City to Elk Rapids will give you a whole new perspective. Along East Bay you'll see the rows of hotels on your left (north) and the state campground on your right (south). Once you pass the last hotel, you'll have expansive views of East Bay as you trek north toward Elk Rapids. We love ethanology in Elk Rapids for craft cocktails and an awesome atmosphere. On River Street, you can walk along a few blocks of the downtown and end at the beach! Cellar 152 is a great spot to grab food or a drink and sit out on their dog-friendly patio!

Neighborhoods

You cannot leave Traverse City without exploring "The Commons" . Once one of the few asylums in the state of Michigan, this historic site has been transformed into shopping, restaurants, and wineries. You can walk through the Mercado in the main building and see photos of this historical gem. On the grounds you will also find Left Foot Charley urban winery, Spanglish (food), Earthen Ales, and Common Goods Coffee!
