Super cozy inside, I feel like I'm at home. The store has everything anyone needs; fresh meat & cheeses, olives, spices, pizza flour, dough, cookies, wine, desserts, take and bake pizzas, lasagna, pot pies, and so much more. We ordered one of the many delicious sandwiches on the menu. I chose the Chimp Boy Gravel Pants. Roasted turkey, sundried tomatoes, pesto, blue cheese, provolone, Italian dressing, stuffed in a ciabatta sub- AMAZING. That will be forever in my heart. Made with love. I wish I could've wrapped that shop up, put it in my pocket and brought it back to my hometown. I will definitely stop there each and every time I visit TC!

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!

You see lots of locals and the staff knows everyone by name which I love to see! I got a turkey sandwich with a LOT of turkey.

For 11 bucks and some change, I'd say it was worth the money! Next time I'm up north for work I will return for lunch!

I had the Turkey & Swiss, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Fresh ingredients, flavorful, and the sauces they use really take it up a notch. It was a bit crowded and there was a wait, but the small-town vibe and quality made it worth it. Prices are a little on the higher side for the portion size, but the flavor and experience made up for it. Very happy I stopped in.

Slabtown is an…read moreabsolute 'must' for any burger lovers visiting TC; especially in the summertime when you can sit outside on their porch or surrounding patio. It's an old house that has been transformed into a burger destination. The inside is cramped, especially in the order area when they're busy, and indoor seating is tough to come by at peak times. The service has never been anything short of excellent on our visits. The staff is welcoming, helpful, patient, and friendly. Service is quick, even when they're slammed. Phenomenal burgers, O-rings, tots, and sweet potato fries. The Northwood's DRAFT (not fountain) root beer is a perfect pairing with their burgers. Slabtown's menu of specialty burgers is enormous and the BYO options include different protein choices and excellent GF buns. I've tried many of their burgers, but have to say that the Slabby Patty on a pretzel bun and the Pungi's Pepper Patty really stood out as a couple of my favorites. For a really sinful (and unhealthy) treat, ask for the gravy tots. Oh brother...insanely good but definitely a guilty pleasure. We've sent tons of our friends and family here, and I can tell you that every one of them has thanked us for the recommendation and raved about their burgers. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself to Slabtown!

He was very nice, as well as apologetic when they ran out of something I'd ordered, but whoever's in charge of scheduling and hiring should really try to make sure their servers don't get overwhelmed, because I don't really love waiting 30 minutes to get my drink just because the server can barely keep up. Overall, this place was fine, so if you don't mind potentially waiting a bit, I would recommend it.

Anyway, I came at the end of exploring and a long day. I enjoyed seeing the fresh options and how I could have a salad created. They also had a lot of grab-and-go foods. My salad was pretty good and was straight forward. I thought it was almost a full win, but my spouse got a salad and a small cup of soup. Salad great. Soup, not so much. Again with the salt! Also, it wasn't a soup and was suuuuuper thick, almost like a chili or stew. I'd come back and try more, especially the fresh options! Thanks for having something green for me to eat.
