Fresh baked bread
Dee M.

What a gem! We had such a great experience at Common Good Bakery in Traverse City! We tried a mocha, americano, a Hamowich, and a breakfast sandwich, and everything was fantastic. The coffee was amazing perfectly brewed, smooth, and flavorful. The sandwiches? Absolutely delicious! The Hamowich was perfectly balanced, and the breakfast sandwich was hearty and satisfying, with fresh ingredients that really hit the spot. The best part, though? The staff. Super friendly and welcoming, they made the experience even better. And the ambiance was adorable; cozy, charming, and just the right vibe for a relaxed breakfast or coffee stop. Highly recommend this place if you're in Traverse City. Definitely a 5-star experience all around! Will be back for sure!

Gem in TVC for local, fresh made bread and treats. The chocolate almond croissant is worth the visit on the own! We also had one of the sandwiches for lunch. Nice looking bread to take home as well. Helpful friendly service. Some seats to eat in and outside seating as well.

High quality baked goods, decent coffee, doing good for the community is enough to earn my business. Service is fast and kinda sorta friendly, the shop smells delicious and the display case invites you to sample alllllll their wares. You can purchase swag too (t-shirts, hoodies, beanies, and a tiny canvas bag ) as well as not caffeinated beverages. Support small businesses and especially ones that give back.

My friend and I were warmly greeted upon entering. I had the chocolate-filled almond croissant. It was a little harder than expected, as I could not cut it with a butter knife, but the flakes did fall off when eaten. My friend enjoyed his pastry and Caffè Americano. They have a nice assortment of breads and pastries, albeit on the pricy side. They have flat-top tables, are very clean, and provide excellent service. Small lot parking. Their support of Food Rescue and Tart Trails earned them five stars. I would recommend them.

Yummy pastries & coffee! Good selection of breakfast sandwiches, breads, & sweet and savory baked goods!

My friends and I kicked off our early morning here. Our food came out quick, and the bakery is a cozy spot to hang out will you eat and wait for your coffee. You can watch them bake bread in wood fire ovens and see their staff working in the kitchens. We went overboard when we saw the pastry display and had no regrets. The cookies were my favorite, they were chewy and soft. The breakfast sandwiches were very tasty as well. Locals were lining up for fresh baked bread and coffee. Our experience was pricey but delicious!

We had a lovely meal here. Everything looked and tasted delicious. Soup was amazing too. Would highly recommend and wish we were here longer to go back.

Everytime I'm in Traverse City I hear such great things about this restaurant. It has even been…read morevoted the number one in the city, so I knew I couldn't pass up another opportunity to dine here. Interesting enough, this is actually a hotel restaurant! So, I was expecting the food to be slightly overhyped. But, I was definitely wrong. I went with a colleague of mine and we were lucky enough to stop by during their happy hour so, we went all out on the appetizers. We ordered their calamari, the sliders, the beef Korean tacos, and the flat bread. Immediately I was blown away by how fresh the food was. Particularly the Thai calamari. As for the Korean beef tacos- the beef was so tender! The protein on the sliders was tenderloins and those were equally delicious. The flat bread surprised me a bit! Ingredients include hummus, feta cheese, spinach, tomatoes and an additional assortment green veggies. So I was expecting it to be a cold dish but it was actually warm. The bread was exceptionally soft. There was not one mediocre thing that we ordered, everything was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. The interior isn't much to look at, like I said the restaurant is located inside a hotel. However, with food that tasty who cares about the interior design of a restaurant! If you are ever in traverse city, NOT dinning at the Reflect Bistro will be doing a massive disservice to yourself!

That being picky though, the place feels welcoming and is brightly lit and feels well cared for. I ordered the Pot Roast ($20). It's described as slow roasted with carrots and onions and mashed potatoes. It was fantastic. The meat was tender and delicious. the gravy was perfect without overpowering. The carrots and onions were a great compliment. Plus the real mashed potatoes were made to perfection. Smooth, yet still had the potatoness to the texture. The taste was one of the better mashed potatoes I've had in TC. I don't know what they do th their TC Cherry Coke, but it is spectacular. Lastly for dessert I got their Lava Cake ($7), it was fine, but disappointing after such a great meal. I don't know if it was from frozen or what. However the texture was a little off andvthe taste was only okay. I wouldn't get it again. The service was very friendly and super helpful. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, I'm going to forgive the dessert and give a full 5 stars. Would I return? Absolutely. Especially if I'm craving Pot Roast.

I had a wonderful first visit to Sugar to Salt and will definitely be back…read more I ordered the breakfast risotto with a side of the cast-iron cornbread. The risotto was outstanding--loaded with incredibly fresh vegetables, smoky tasso ham, creamy raclette cheese, and one of the best pestos I've ever tasted. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about risotto for breakfast, but it absolutely worked. The cast-iron cornbread was also excellent, especially the honey butter glaze and the whole kernels of corn throughout. The service was warm and friendly, even during a very busy brunch. This is definitely on the pricier side, but I felt the quality of the ingredients, the creativity of the menu, and the care that went into every dish made it worth it. My only food-related criticism was that my poached egg was just slightly overcooked, but it was a very minor issue in an otherwise exceptional meal. My biggest suggestion for improvement would be the acoustics inside the dining room. When the restaurant is busy, the noise level becomes overwhelming and takes away from what is otherwise a fantastic dining experience. I ended up sitting outside, and the patio was peaceful and relaxing. I hope the owners consider adding some acoustic treatment because the food deserves an atmosphere that matches its quality. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying several other dishes on the menu.

They don't have an espresso machine but they brew a really good espresso blend. For breakfast, we ordered the carrot cake pancakes, the toast, and a side of turkey sausage. Everything is farm to table and made fresh. The food is incredible. I ordered the carrot cake pancakes. The attention to detail with the candied ginger and homemade rosemary simple syrup was noted. My belly was so happy. The side of Turkey sausage was so good. It's not your basic sausage. They are homemade with roasted onions, leeks, and herbs. This changes every season, which is so exciting. My husband's toast was made with brisket. I tried a bite. The combination of fresh veggies, homemade bread, and brisket was so good. Vanessa was our server. She was so great! So friendly and helpful. This is one of my all time favorite breakfast places. Can't wait to come back.

There were unusual choices too, which was interesting to see. The service was friendly and the food came out promptly. I went with the chimichurri omelette. It was made up of prime rib, hash browns, mozzarella cheese, and chimichurri sauce. I never saw this type before, so I wanted to give it a try. I also had a pancake instead of toast. The pancake was cooked a tad over, but it was alright. The omelet was large with plenty of meat incorporated. It was unique with the chimichurri sauce. It helped offset the lack of seasoning of the eggs. I also tried the Traverse city cherry salad which had turkey and cherry salad, pecans, dried cherries, Monterey Jack cheese, and tomatoes with a raspberry vinaigrette. This had a good flavor with the combination of raspberry vinaigrette and cherries, but there was way too much mayo or miracle whip in the turkey. Will I go back? Most likely.
