"we loved eating breakfast here on our way to St. Ignace. we got a bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich and a savory quiche---both were soo good! each came with a little strawberry which was a nice touch. we also got one of their massive cookies (the peanut butter cookie) for the road, and that was amazing!"

"We stopped for lunch on our way to Mackinac Island due to the many good reviews. The tomato soup was one of the best soups I ever had and I don’t even like tomato soup. The sandwich (roast beef) was also delicious. The staff were great too. I would highly recommend this place!!"
