This place vibes weird. Doesn't like outsiders? I guess ?? Stopped in for a coffee on a difficult…read moreday. Am clearly not a local, and got some massive passive aggressive she|ite from manager. Bummer b/c the trainee barista seemed nice, and the coffee was fine, and yet - when I was stuck outside for a couple hours trying to deal with a flat tire - no one helped. Or even came out to be sympathetic, or offer ideas on who to call or what. Just - eh - A bit whack when three separate people offer help from off the street, and the business I was just in buying a WAY over-priced caffe latte didn't even raise an eyebrow. So I guess this small-town business doesn't actually like folks dropping through ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ [p.s. re requesting sugar in one's fancy $7 small latte: it's easier to dissolve sugar in the espresso *before* adding milk than afterwards. I didn't come up with the idea; a teenage barista in rural SW Michigan did. So next time maybe chill on on the snark xox ]

There was indoor seating area along with outdoor bench. We got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and I got a turkey reuben with coleslaw. My husband also got a peach smoothie. All were served nice and warm (except the smoothie!) and I got a side pickle. All so delicious and hit the spot. Our dog enjoyed the extra meat and cheese slices to as we had an outdoor picnic with him!

Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

Highly recommend this place if you're in Traverse City. Definitely a 5-star experience all around! Will be back for sure!
