Johan's is definitely a Petoskey staple... it has been around since 1958! I remember stopping in as…read morea kid when I spent time each summer in Northern MI, and I don't think it has changed much since then (we'll just say that was the 1990's for now). I recently stopped in on July 4th and picked up a dozen red, white and blue decorated cookies to bring to a friend's house that was entertaining. I found some with fireworks decorations and some with smiley faces. Needless to say, they were well received by the hostess and the guests enjoyed them. Even on a busy holiday morning, there were delicious looking donuts and baked goods, and the aroma brought back all kinds of emotions from my childhood too. Johan's is old school but that never goes out of style. Service was not the friendliest but it was not bad. You order at the counter and pay and you're out... easy peasy. While I took my cookies to go, there are some tables outside if you wanted to sit down for a few and enjoy your treats there. If you're in the area, definitely stop by Johan's for a tasty pastry (or two) and cup of coffee!

The shop had 1 worker, and lots of customers (many who left frustrated and angry). The 1 worker was polite, but very slow. At one point there were 6 people waiting in line while the worker was making coffee orders for 4 people. There was zero communication with the people waiting! Most left. My wife and I waited about 15 minutes for our drinks. The store had plenty of interested customers, but was so poorly understaffed and the 1 worker was clearly inexperienced. I don't think they survive. Not when being run like this!

Food is great and made to order ! We split the turkey avocado club on sourdough which was very…read morefresh we also split the buffalo ranch melt . It was warm, delicious, very tasty , a bit spicy and served on a really good soft bun with crispy edges. Perfectly cooked the sandwiches are served with orange slices , which is a nice break from chips or fries ! They have numerous coffe and matcha drinks hotv& cold. I tried the cold match blackberry lemonade and it was good and my hubby had the matcha raspberry latte and he really liked his. You know it's a great place when you unexpectedly run into the bride eating there the morning after her wedding!!! The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant 5 stars ( because the food quality IS there !) is the bathroom situation. There's a very tiny sing men's and women's with a sink to wash hands inbetween. I didn't mind the " closet bathroom stall - I minded the dirty floor and the fact that when I went to wash my hands in the shared sink outside the stall in between the bathrooms , barely any soap dispenses! I went under 4 x just to get enough soap to get the buffalo sauce off of my hands. This is concerning because it makes you wonder if the cooks are bothering to try to get any soap on their hands ?! . Roast and Toast : *Clean the bathroom floors and get a new soap dispenser and I bet you'll get the stars and reviews your food deserves !

I hate to give a bad review but I also hate the idea of NOT giving one at all because the service…read morewasn't up to par and I don't wanna complain. However... Because the place was populated (but not crowded) and my order was simple (a matcha and cranberry chicken salad) Filling my order was a lay-up. The drink came in a timely fashion but my sandwich was nowhere to be found. Add to that I was sitting in the very visible window seat, by myself...a fact made more obvious by the fact that no one was near me and I'm a black dude in a very white restaurant (basically making me even more obvious). Now to be clear: I DO NOT think this was racially motivated, I DO think , however, it was due to inattentive staff. Personally I'm also not a fan of having to go get my food when they call my name, ESPECIALLY if the drink and the food come out at different times. Too much up and down for me. Cute place but I was disappointed...which bums me out because I really WANTED to like this place. This will probably be my only time here (as I am just passing through) and, sadly, this was the impression I was left with.

Had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Got seated and waited on pretty quickly. My feeling is if the coffee is good that means someone at the place cares, a good sign. And it was good! I got buttermilk pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage links and hash browns. Loved the sausage (from Plath meats) and eggs were definitely cooked with butter. Yummy! My standard for great pancakes are Cracker Barrel and these were just as good. Only slightly disappointed with hash browns as they seemed from a bag but they were cooked well. My wife had the vegetable skillet which was a layer of hash browns with tomato, green pepper, spinach, onions and then eggs over that which was covered with sausage gravy. All very good. Even the English muffin she got seemed fresh made! Good service and fair prices too. Only knock I could give was food took a bit to come out but I blame that on the holiday weekend crowd.

They have a variety of sandwiches from healthy to not so healthy but all are delicious and fresh. Their shop has some outside seating but they no longer have inside seating. You can call or go online to place an order, or head to the shop as well. Their menu is extensive and inside the shop they have a selection of assorted sides like chips, crackers, olives, drinks etc. it is fun to peruse and pick up some local kettle chips or a snack to accompany the sandwich deliciousness. On a non-busy day it usually take 10-15 minutes to complete and order, but on a weekend give it 45 minutes so as to provide enough time for your meal to be perfect. The sandwiches are fresh and hand made per order so you get all the goodness of right now packed with flavor. My husbands favorite has chicken, cheese, avocado, mayo, red onions and an assortment of yummy spices that keep him coming back again and again. He honestly tried to make this at home a few times but it never matched and so he decided instead to book an annual trip to Lake Street Market instead! I've tried their Miss Fit Attends Services which is a vegetarian option that is very hardy and full of taste. I also like their salads and assortment of chips! All in all it is a must visit if you are in the area, or worthy of a day trip if not!
