    The bakery case full of cookies, pastries, and muffins.
    Tim C.

    What a find! This warm, homey oasis of culinary delights is a farm-to-fork restaurant bakery tucked away in the small town of McMillan, MI. Today's breakfast special was a Belgian Waffle with fresh fruit and bacon. The bacon is smoked, extra thick, and crispy. For someone with a smaller breakfast appetite, we tried the Breakfast Banana Split with a drizzle of Maple Syrup. It's just how you'd imagine it: a split banana with Greek yogurt, granola, fresh berries, a few dollops of sweet whipped cream. Coffee here is locally roasted. With its light notes, it's equally enjoyed sipping alone and with the entire meal. Breakfast was so good we parlayed our luck into ordering lunch. Two pasties with gravy and a pulled pork sandwich with fries. Later in the day we visited Kitch-iti-kipi and had lunch. We were very glad we planned ahead. The bakery is heaven on earth. Fresh bread, like my mom used to make when I was a kid on the farm. Cookies, pastries, turnovers, brownies, sticky buns -- oh, my!!

    Imagine my joy pulling up to the warm, welcoming glow and smell of Helmer House after an hour's drive in the pitch black country night. I reserved a room here before my big UP trip this fall. I love going for the authentic bed and breakfast vibe. Little did I know, their lodging was directly part of their restaurant. Adding to that country feel is a small shop attached for all of your fishing needs. I stayed in the Shadowbox room. It's a tiny space with room really only for the bed and the small dresser. A little bedside table would be a good addition. It stayed plenty warm in the night - honestly too warm for me. No issues with noise - a very relaxed stay. My bathroom was separate from the room and normally shared with another room. It was clean and well adorned. Only complaint is the water seem to only run hot. I enjoyed a "pasty" for breakfast at the restaurant and took an old-fashioned donut for the road. I would absolutely come back to both stay and eat.

    The food was wonderful! The pancakes are so light, fluffy, and HUGE. Bacon is thick cut and tasty. Bread is homemade and fresh. The service was fantastic. The ambiance was so inviting. If you're looking for a great breakfast in the area, this will not disappoint. They have loaves of bread packaged, as well as a case of cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, brownies, and other yummy treats that they can package to go.

    We found this little place during an ice fishing trip to the UP. On day one we ordered pasties to go and received not only delicious meat and veggie filled pasties but coleslaw and a delicious oat and fruit bar. On day two, we had the special New Years Eve dinner of pork medallions with a mushroom sauce etc. Wow, this to go food had a lot of flavor, a fresh salad and bread pudding for dessert ! On day 3, we stopped to get donuts on our way out. The donuts are only available on Friday and Saturday. Now that's a donut! I will be back!!

    Lovely place for gas and treats. I wanted espresso while we were in Newberry and this place came…read moreup. It was a lovely spot and It has a lounge that was unfortunately closed due to covid. But the staff was so kind and helped us get a good ice cream for my son, which he said was amazing. There was a store upstairs too that sold shirts etc and there were tables outside. I had a latte that was delicious and an americano for my husband. They had all the flavors and variety of milks. I will definitely be back.

    Where do I even start? BEWARE OF BRANDON BROWN‼ The first time i walked into Moose Du Nord (so Day…read more1 of my experience), there was a younger girl working. My friend and I got drinks, and before even touching anything, she ASKED WHAT KIND OF MILK (like normal drink making businesses usually do) & she was very sweet and reminded us they also have cold foam, i asked her for oat milk due to me having a sensitivity with dairy (i am not lactose intolerant just to be clear, but whole milk makes me NAUSEOUS) Day one went perfectly fine with no issues at all. Day 2 I go in & Brandon Brown is working. I only know of him, because it's a small town and some people tend to stand out more than others, not always in a good way...anyways, i walk in and say hi. I am immediately dismissed/ignored and stared at for five whole minutes, while we were looking at the menu, because I was honestly taken aback by the blatant ignorance, and for no reason? We order the same thing as the day before, but I was distracted by the interaction between us and this person, so I forgot to ask for oat milk. He made the drinks iced instead of a frappe, but I wasn't upset, I let him help the man in line, and then politely said "we ordered these as frappes," and he remade them very efficiently, and we waited for our other friend that was ordering. The drink itself was delicious, so I didn't notice the whole milk until over half way in, because I tend to drink my beverages rather quickly. I felt nauseous, like I was about to throw up the entire drink, because he was too ignorant to even say hi or use this thing called customer service. In my experience with businesses that make drinks like that, I have ALWAYS been asked what kind of milk I prefer, he was not interested in caring about any of that, let alone even greeting the people walking in. That is not personality, that is pure ignorance, and if that's what him and his friends want to defend, I think that says A LOT about them ALL. We went back the next day, because there was a different girl working. SHE ASKED what kind of milk we wanted, BOTH OF US. We met up with two more friends and ordered pizza later that day, again, because we thought he wasn't working, otherwise I would have CANCELED our $70 order (large cheese sticks, large dill pickle pizza, and a medium gluten free chicken bacon ranch pizza), mind you the gluten free crust is a $6 up charge and the medium pizzas are like $20 already. I put our order in, ten minutes later, he walks out, and I immediately regret my order. We wait 40 minutes (told us it would be about 25). Brandon hands us our food, so again i'm thrown off because of our last interaction, and yes this is my fault, but I forgot to ask for extra marinara (not knowing that the cheese sticks didn't even come with any) and ranch. I hope everyone knows that I tried to contact the manager and/or owners to address this issue, just to get no answer or call back; and to find out that they actually EXCUSE AND ENCOURAGE this behavior, and he will be working there with his horrible attitude and customer service in the meantime, so I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!
