a burrito and chips
mary b.

Great spot. Friendly, efficient and a nice selection of very fresh items. I had a yummy wrap so big half came home; my husband had a delicious salad. (See photo).We were pleased to find this cafe. We will definitely be back when nearby and highly recommend!

Grilled cheese hold the tomato, add chicken
Amy H.

Cute, friendly place for breakfast or lunch! I stopped in for lunch after a chilly walk exploring the area. I ordered a cup of the brew of the day - chocolate caramel and it hit the spot. I ordered the grilled cheese with pesto on sourdough - hold the tomato and add chicken. The sandwich was great and served with a side of homemade veggie chips. Service was great. The only thing keeping it from five stars is the constant ding of the microwave.

Caramel Macchiato- mmmmm-good!
Traci M.

You have gotta try this gem! The coffee was delicious- especially if you like specialty drinks. The cafe mocha & caramel macchiato were super yummy! Lunch soups, sandwiches, and salads were all tasty. The potato soup was fabulous and the chicken salad was tasty, too. They also serve wine and beer. It's a great gathering spot!

Meat and cheese slate

Had a wonderful evening at the after hours event at the Applewood Eatery! It was a full house with happy vibes. The staff were awesome with a cool calm and collected attitude and always a smiling. The food was really good too. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the amazing dessert but my friends made ninja quick moves on it! This is always a great place to go. The food has never once been anything but awesome, the atmosphere is trendy and the owner and her family are true gems. Easily my most favorite place to eat in the area.

Bloody Mary and Peach Bellini

The husband and I discovered this cafe driving through downtown. The food, drinks, customer service was exceptional! The Pomodoro sandwich was the best I've ever had. Omelets are all fresh ingredients. Husband loved it. Their Peach Bellini and Bloody Mary's are top notch. Cafe very clean and quaint. So happy we stopped in. They have coffees too!

As my husband said, wide-eyed, "This is a freaking good sandwich." We were visiting Escanaba for the weekend and happened upon this place. We ordered a dirty chai, which was excellent & came out fairly fast. My husband ordered the Monte Melt, which he loved. He said the cranberry chutney reminded him of Thanksgiving. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. The baguette was a little hard to eat, but that's just because I have a ridiculously small mouth. Both sandwiches were served with chips and a pickle. Everything tasted extremely fresh. We will definitely go back next time we are in town. Free WiFi is a bonus + local fair trade MI coffee beans.

a sandwich and chips

Delightful menu of salads, wraps and sandwiches. Surprisingly inexpensive gourmet coffees and desserts. Mediterranean turkey wrap, chicken salad are lovely.

Caramel macchiato and dirty chai

Great food and even better service. The staff was welcoming and personable. I had the caramel macchiato and my husband had a dirty chai both were delicious. We split a sandwich and it was clear the ingredients were fresh. I would happily return.

BBQ pulled pork
Erin B.

Pretty good. Had the pulled pork sandwich which came with bacon and cheddar cheese. It was juicy, tender, and not too saucy. The star of my plate though was the crispy veggie chips that came with the sandwich. Yum! I gotta know where they get those! *hint hint* If the owner reads this on here, please send me a message regarding this. :)

If you want REAL food, go to Applewood! I love their Santa Fe Bowl, but have never been disappointed with anything there.

Early bird specials were reasonable and good. Ham & cheese omelette was tasty and more than enough…read moreto eat.

Oh, man. You ever do that thing where you want to try a pasty for the first time, so you search for…read morea good restaurant that has them, then go about your business for a minute, then search the google map for the restaurant based on memory alone, then go to the restaurant only to find out you went to the wrong restaurant because you have the memory of a goldfish? No? Nobody? Just me? Damnit. The silver lining? A wonderful breakfast meal and cheap to boot! Since I realized I'm part idiot (and not the good part), I decided to eat breakfast at my accidental restaurant. Mostly because I was already sitting in the booth and did NOT want to admit defeat. And boy howdy, am I glad I did! I ordered the French toast, eggs, and bacon. Two toasts, two eggs, and about three bacons. And a breakfast Coke (which is normal coke, but in the morning). First off, the eggs. I only eat scrambled eggs because I'm a child. Salt and pepper, then into my mouth. I don't like creamy scrambled eggs and I don't like scrambled eggs that get that weird skin on them for cooking too long. These ones were perfect. I garbled them down. My trick is to heavily salt and pepper them THEN cut them up and mix them together to disperse the seasoning. Eggs 10/10 The French toast? Perfect. Good size slices, a ball of butter on top (thankfully enough to spread over all four triangles), and a ramekin of syrup. They were the perfect portions. The FT (French toast) had the best sponginess and fluffiness. French Toast (FT) 10/10 Finally. The bacon. Look. I am a huss for bacon. I'll do some shady sh** for some good bacon. But I ain't going back to prison. I always ALWAYS request my bacon be floppy. Some places call it limp. I call mine floppy. Because I'm a professional. A lot of places struggle on what floppy should look like. I've had floppy bacon I could put through a plate glass window. I've broken a piece of floppy bacon on a table edge and shanked somebody (see prior prison comment). But here? This place? Sweetie pie, I could tie my shoes with this bacon it's so floppy. I could lasso a baby calf with this floppy a** bacon. If you don't believe me, I attached a photo of what floppy bacon should look like. Professional Floppy Bacon 12/10. I would also like to mention the Coke this place served was top tier. It's like it's chilled prior to coming out the fountain dispenser. It just went down SO smooth. Drink some. Also. It's a medium-quiet place. Family friendly. Has that down home look and feel.

Loaded fries were AMAZING! Stopped here for a quick snack and drink on our way thru...so glad we…read moredid! Beautiful view of Big Bay de Noc, drinks were great as well! Definite must stop again, for sure!

On Saturday night we had a party of 8, so I called a head to make a reservation and was told they…read moredon't take them but they said they could accommodate us, there was no wait and to 'come on up'. When we got there about 15 min later and they told the wait would be about 15 min, which is acceptable. They then sat us at a large table in the back, and basically forgot about us for an additional 20 min, then finally came and got our drink and food order. We were then forgotten about for another 45 min. No one checked drinks or came with water refills. We requested bread when we ordered and one in our party ordered soup, neither of those items ever came out. When our food finally came out, the pasta was cold and the pork loin was so tough it wasn't edible, maybe 3 bites were taken. We brought this to their attention and we were told 'sorry' but they did nothing to make it right. They also charged us for the soup we never got and the mushrooms that were ordered for a steak, that never came. They did take those items off the bill when asked. We also paid $8.97 for 3 CANS of pop, which in my opinion is absolutely outrageous. It was a very disappointing, and VERY expensive experience. We used to love coming, however this is the second time in a row that our experience was horrible and we will not be back.
