    Entrance - drive thru is available

    Cute spot - I noticed in passing. Seems like teens ran the place or very looking young adults but they were kind. Pretty much just an ice cream (few flavors), coffee, and gift shop wrapped in one. Please note - when getting your drink make sure to be specific but she did suggest I taste before leaving so make sure it was to my liking. No receipt but the ice cream is the same. Served on Mackinac Island and she gives you a pretty hefty scoop. Happy Eating!!!

    This place has phenomenal coffee as everything is homegrown and homemade, it's on an Indian reservation so they have a lot of jewelry for sale as well. This place is a nice place to buy bags of coffee or just to go get a good cup to go or sip and drink outside on their patio.

    Mocha frap and Carmel frap

    This was the best coffee in the UP. Super cute small business and fast, friendly service. They really know how to make good coffee. I couldn't decide if I liked the mocha or Carmel better, but the Carmel was my drink and I finished it quickly. I wish we could go inside to look at the decorations.

    We received a tip to stop into the Dancing Crane Coffee House from a blog we read on line while travelling through Michigan. The baristas here must be the friendliest in the all of the Wolverine State; they explained how they brew coffee, offered tastings and helped us decide which to ultimately purchase based on our individual taste buds. When we asked for some information about the Lake Superior byway, one of the baristas gave us a free map and recommended that we visit the scenic landing for Monocle Lake; we were super pumped that we listened to her suggestion. Definitely make the Dancing Crane, which also offers homemade goodies, a pitstop to refuel with coffee when driving on the Upper Peninsula!

    Nice people and interesting. They have a mix of little gift items and native craft items. A few are exceptional. Worth a stop.

    Clyde's! Clyde's! I've been wanting to visit this place for at least 10 years. I'd read the…read morereviews, looked at the customer photos of the burgers over and over, check out the menu photos... And drool. But for whatever reason, we'd always put it off when visiting our cottage in Moran, Michigan each June. Then today me, my wife, and our dog Jax dropped in. It was EXACTLY how I thought it would be. Old school drive-in vibe, friendly server, and delicious burgers in the comfort of the family SUV. Even the fries and onion rings were perfect. We ordered a plain burger patty for the dog, and our server even brought him a biscuit treat! Who does that? We'll be regulars every time we visit our Yooper friends in our favorite state from now on. There's a Taco Bell next door. Nobody cares lol. Go there now. Unless they're closed. In which case, wait until they're open. Pay attention people!

    My family and I stopped at Clyde's Drive-In while staying in St. Ignace for a few days, and we…read morequickly understood why it came so highly recommended on TripAdvisor. It's clearly a favorite among the locals, and it has the lively, welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for from a classic drive-in. The hamburgers were delicious and well prepared, and the onion rings, French fries, and other classic drive-in favorites were all satisfying. The staff was incredibly friendly and added to the overall experience. One thing that stood out during our time in the Upper Peninsula was how genuinely kind and welcoming everyone was. The Yoopers, as I believe they're called, are some of the most pleasant people we've encountered, and Clyde's Drive-In was no exception. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and friendly service. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
