Finally made it in for our first visit. We split two sandwiches and these are our thoughts: grilled…read morecheese was just ok, needed more cheese. The roast beef chimichurri was okay, but it felt like it needed something to level out the heat of the chimichurri. I think it would be amazing with some roasted red pepper--slight heat to balance the spice. I know it would change the sandwich to something entirely different, but i think it would be amazing with coleslaw. Bookstore was fine, just a lot less books than I was hoping for. Looks like they keep a mix of more popular/new release titles, mixing in some older favorites. As a librarian I am always going to want more books, so take that with a grain of salt.

My fave is still the beef Chimichurri and my husband loves the Elliott which is on secret menu. Th book selection is small and curated but always on point with great gift selections. I LOVE the community events. From local teachers coming in to read on weekends, to charity and non profit book donations to making food for Neighborhood House. The book clubs are super fun and I always meet new people and see familiar faces. My fave event tho was probably the recent watercolor book workshop! Although Indie Bookstore Day was pretty great too. Great job Novel!

Came in on a Saturday afternoon. You can enter off main street or there is a side entrance. Lots of…read moredifferent areas to eat - the front, back, or outside. The front was hot (sun was beating in) but the seating in the back felt cooler. We decided to sit outside which was cute. Very chill and welcoming. Staff was friendly. You order at the cash register. We were given a number to put on our table but told to wait for our drinks by the counter before finding our seats. Lots of unique things on the menu. I went with a lavender lemonade which was sweet and tart, a little floral but in a good way. Also ordered the buddha bowl which was super disappointing. Not much flavor and dry. Needed a different or more dressing. Cheese quesadilla off the kids menu was okay as well, came with a store bought apple sauce cup. But the sweet potato fries were amazing. Great flavor and had a crunch to them, not soggy. I will say the portions were pretty big.

Stopped by for a quick, early dinner on a Monday evening with my husband, our infant son, and our…read morefriend. Shared the sriracha bleu cheese fries, wild mushroom and brie quesadilla, and green goddess salad among the 3 of us. Everything was super tasty - the fries especially were a hit if you like heat! It was a summer day and I will mention that inside the restaurant felt pretty warm, even with ceiling fans going. Not sure if there was no A/C or if it just wasn't going at full blast. Tables are a bit close together so it was a little tricky finding a good spot to maneuver and park our stroller, but we managed! Overall, a great little spot for healthy, tasty bites.

I really liked Penn Station until I got stuck with the new girl. While preparing my sandwich she…read morewas talking to the employees in the back until she just dropped everything and was heading to the back room. I asked her to finish my sandwich and even though I had asked it to be cut in half (as has always been done in the past) did not cut it. Same thing last time I got stuck with her. Last time, she gave me too much change and did not cut plus the continents were minimal. Too bad, I really liked Penn Station. Back to Jersey Mike's.

Came in on a Sunday mid day, the store was empty with just 2 employees on the floor. As far as I…read morecould tell I was the only order. I ordered a jerk chicken mango sandwich sub champagne vinaigrette for bbq sauce. Neither employee was very personable during check out and it seemed like they just didn't want to speak, not even to explain directions for check out. I must have waited close to 10 mins. Only ended up finishing half of my sandwich as the Swiss chard tasted unwashed and like dirt and it was made incorrectly with pickles and missing red onions. Needless to say I won't be back for 14 dollars for a single sandwich.

I lament that Bubbe's Bagels is so far away in Traverse City. The Bagel Spot has filled the bagel…read morevoid. A good bagel does not need to be toasted, and these are good bagels. They also make their smear (cream cheese) in house and slice their own lox (smoked salmon). The salmon was particularly impressive, it just melts. Their bagels are on the pricier side, but they are large, fresh, and delicious. I've tried my classic order (sesame, scallion smear, lox) and one of their bagel sandwiches (eggs, bacon, tomato, cheese), which are very hearty. They have breakfast and lunch options. They were out of the chicken salad when I stopped in, their egg salad was very good though. The were hustling on a Sunday afternoon, a really hard working staff here, but the staff who helped me remained friendly. I'm excited to try some of their more creative options.

The bagel was glorious (as always), bacon was heavenly, chicken salad was exactly right, tomato was fresh, the potato salad and pickle on the side were flavorful and a nice bonus. I saved half for later, yet it was filling and large enough to require two hands each time. The Morning Stimulus (two scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado spread, red onion, tomato, melted cheddar cheese, and I get mine on an asiago or everything bagel) is my go-to breakfast order. Trust me and add a hash brown on it for extra crunchy texture. The staff is friendly. The inside is tidy with a handful of tables if you want to dine in, but they package everything very well if you take your order to go. Everyone I've brought in has been impressed with the deliciousness, quality, and size of the portions. Bagel Spot is a 10 out of 5.

Relative to their hard liquor, it would appear by in large that the larger formats of 750 mL on up are for the most part are at state minimum prices. This is always one of the key criteria for me when looking for liquor stores in addition to a large selection to choose from. Main purpose of my visit here was in obtaining a bottle of Combier orange liquor, which is my go to orange liquor when making my Blanco margaritas. This particular liquor is extremely hard to find in Michigan where in the past I had to order it online, which is no longer an option due to the Michigan out of state liquor restrictions. This liquor definately falls into the Boutique criteria where it is very difficult to find in most liquor shops in Michigan, which should give you an indication of the types of wines and liquors that this business carries. Additionally, they offer you the ability to order online if they dont have it in stock, at state minimum prices, which I took advantage of as they only had one of the four bottles I was looking for. Nice! Most liquor shops will not go through the hassle of doing this but this business did and with no deposit required. Double nice!! Overall this is an excellent liquor shop that offers great selection, at good prices and goes out of the way to take care of the customer. I will definately be shopping here again in the near future!
