Awesome coffee and pastries!!!!! Staff is always wonderful and helpful!!! Once we found Roy's we didn't go anywhere else for morning coffee

Pasties are new to us. Got two of the traditional. Very tasty. Much of the crust on my pastie was stuck to the wrapper. I should have exchanged it. Young counter girls could use a little more customer service training. Went back for more coffee and two of the dispensers were empty and settled on the Arabica. No heavy cream or half and half; just whole milk and flavored cream pods. Outdoor seating was nice with great views of waterway and Hancock. Being our first pastie, we can't compare. There are other recommended places we may try before leaving Houghton. read more

The pasties were wonderful and so was the cookie I bought. Quick service and a great place to eat outside.

We always get pasties whenever we are in the U.P., and Roy's were excellent! So much so the kids begged for us to get more the next day! This pasty and bakery does counter service only. You can get ready made pasties, sandwiches, and bakery items to eat in or to go. They also have frozen pasties to take and bakery items at home. The frozen pasties are fully cooked and only need to be thawed and heated through. The inside dining space is somewhat small, but there is also lots of outside dining space as well. This was a great find and as more than the traditional pasty...my personal favorite was the chicken and broccoli. read more

Roy's Pasties and Bakery - Menu - Bakeries Near Me - Houghton, Michigan

Went here on a recommendation from a coworker. There's so many bakeries in the area that I want to try but definitely glad I came here. Really friendly staff, and just an absolutely tempting display of a bunch of unique baked goods. Everything looked delicious. Tried a handful of different things and was happy with them all. Pricing is also reasonable for what you're getting in my opinion. I'll definitely be back to try some more stuff here. read more

I ordered a carrot cake for a birthday party. It was $40 and could feed 8. The taste of the cake was good. It was moist. The cream cheese frosting was as sweet as I wanted it. Where I was disappointed was the decoration of the cake. The writing was completely off center. Part of the icing had begun to crack when I picked up the cake. You can see it at the W of farewell. I could tell that blue icing had been squished into the white at the Y in Kyle. I got a cake from a bakery because I wanted it to be decorated by a professional. I could have baked my own cake, but I paid $40 for a nice looking one. What I got is not professional looking at all. I will not be ordering birthday cakes from Roy's anymore. read more

Received the second shipment yesterday (1-16-26). Looking forward to enjoying these pasties. Never found out what UPS did with the first shipment. Thanks, Roys! read more

We were headed up to A buddy's cabin near Calumet Michigan when my tummy started to grumble near Houghton MI.We stumbled in to Roy's Pasties and Bakery right on the lake and decided to grab a bite. It was early morning and the goodies were just coming out of the oven.The friendly staff made suggestions of what type pasties we should give a try.From breakfast pastie to chicken cheddar and then traditional.Wow! So many options.We got 2 of each.The best part of a pastie for me is the crust.Roy's crust was not as flaky as I would like it but they made up for it in flavor! My favorite was the traditional.The beef,potatoes and rutabaga was in harmony. People could be seen sipping dark roast and enjoying each others company by the lake.The atmosphere is definitely coffee and croissants. Roy's Pasties and Bakery seems huge but you get that small town service in a decent size city.This place is perfect for breakfast,lunch or hit up the the cafe same owner next door for dinner. read more

I had my first ever pasty here! It definitely lived up to the hype! We also had an apple fritter and a danish, and they were both amazing. The place itself had cute diner vibes inside, and lots of seating outside on the water as well! The staff was very friendly, even when they got very busy. Definitely a perfect family friendly place to grab a bite to eat! read more

Roy's Pasties and Bakery - Traditional Pasty - Bakeries Near Me - Houghton, Michigan

Wow. Easily the best pasty I've ever had. It was thanksgiving in a hand pie. We also grabbed some donuts and scones. Amazing. I love that they will ship frozen pasties to you so I won't have to wait til next year to eat these incredible pasties. read more

I originally visited Roy's two years ago during my first trip to the Upper Peninsula. They have a more modern take on the pasty, taking the rich shortcrust dough and stuffing it with fillings such as mozzarella and pepperoni, beef and cheese, or the classic breakfast combination of sausage, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. I honestly don't particularly like the traditional pasty, so this is a nice departure for a meal on the road or while hiking. We weren't able to make it this time until near closing time and we unfortunately discovered that they only had the traditional and turkey cranberry pasties left for the day. We opted to try both of them as we hadn't gotten either during our first visit. Traditional Pasty, Large ($7.50) - This is a massive 1 pound pasty that's placed into a specially constructed dual-layer bag. Even with this bag, the amount of oil and grease soaked through both layers and then even more leaked into the paper bag that was holding everything. This pasty had a big problem from the very start - the bottom of the pasty was fused to the waxed wrapper and I could not get it loose at all. When I tried to take it out of the pouch, the pasty completely fell apart, rendering it into essentially an open faced sandwich, with a giant meat/veggie patty on top of a thin layer of crust. Don't get me wrong - both the crust and the stuffing (meat, rutabaga, potato, onion and carrot) are good, but the pouch ruins the pasty. The one thing that Roy's does better than competitors is the cook on the rutabaga - the reason I don't like traditional pasties is because I don't like the taste of rutabaga. In this particularly pasty, they are cooked well and the taste is much milder in comparison with some competitors. (3/5) Turkey Cranberry Pasty ($7.65) - This is a smaller size 12 oz pasty. I was a bit apprehensive getting this as it seemed like it had a little too much going on. I decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. The interior is stuffed with turkey, potatoes, gravy, dressing, and cranberries. There isn't too much meat inside - I found that they kind of go overboard with the amount of potato and dressing. But everything is distributed pretty evenly throughout and it all works well together, creating a delicious bite every time. And unlike the traditional pasty, this one didn't fuse to the bag and I was able to actually eat it as intended. (4/5) I recommend visiting Roy's on Wednesdays as that's when they make their more modern pasty interpretations. Also, definitely go earlier in the day so they have all types available and you can pick and choose. As a bonus, if you sit in the main seating area, you can see the bakers making pasties and other treats through a giant window into the kitchen. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Overall rating of the food this visit: 3.5/5 read more

Great little place - terrific pasties and pastries. Looking forward to our return in October!

This is a cool place with really great service. So many tasty treats available it's hard to choose just one,

We loved their pasties a lot. We got the traditional one, the crust was 10/10. The blueberry cronut was excellent. Their other baked goods are pretty good as well read more

Service is horrible, worker in the morning didn't even look up from her cell phone when I was trying to order. She then without being prompted, started complaining about coworkers not doing their job, using profanity and foul language. I just wanted a coffee but left with a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Interestingly, this is a pleasant river view restaurant, so the ambiance is nice whether you're on the patio, inside or upstairs inside. I received explanations and recommendations from behind the counter, so the service was good. And, the Cornish style traditional pasty was delicious and reminiscent of my UK trip. This is a very good place to stop when visiting the historic Keweenaw peninsula. read more

It's a pasty. The service was polite, helpful, and efficient. The pasty, an original, which my wife and I shared a couple of bites of, was fed to our golden retrievers as a reward for going on a good hike. read more

Can't really rate it because even though we arrived 30 minutes before close and they were out of hot food.

We had seen many signs for pasties but hadn't tried any. Before leaving the UP, we stopped at Roy's of Michigan to taste this local must. Wow! We loved the original pastie since the breakfast ones were sold out. The coffee and pasties were both fantastic. The counter service was friendly, and the line moved quickly. Inside and outside seating was plentiful, making it a comfortable stop. read more

My friend took us here on a Friday morning during tech's graduation weekend and it was packed!! Rightfully so. They have a lot of different pasty options to choose from but I went for the traditional one as this was my first "real" U.P. pasty. It was so good! It was HUGE and it started crumbling a bit while trying to take it out of the bag. I do wish it was a bit warmer but that's okay. I heard the breakfast pasty's are delicious but they were sold out when we got there. I loved looking at their baked goods cases. Soooo many options to choose from and the strawberry and cream cheese pastry stood out to me. It was delicious. Not too sweet and tasted fresh. Quite a bit of seating options so it seems like it would be a nice place to meet someone for a casual breakfast or to study/get work done. read more

Great overall place, you can definitely get the pastie you want, just don't come too late. They have other stuff, but who wants anything but a pastie? read more

Well known place in the UP and the positive reputation is probably well deserved. They were quite busy when we were there and the lady helping us was quite brusque and seemed aggravated when we didn't know the local terms for some of the items. The checkout clerk was much nicer! The donuts were very good, but not exceptional. I likened them to the Village Pantry (convenience store chain in Indianapolis) donuts, but smaller and a little greasier. The cherry cake donut was tasty but left a greasy feeling in my mouth. The maple bun (we called those maple cinnamon rolls or Persians), was good but again left a greasy mouth feel. The flavors shined but the donuts were lacking. The coffee was excellent!! My wife had two cups of the Snickerdoodle coffee and was very pleased, which is hard, as she can be a little bit of a coffee snob sometimes. The atmosphere was like that of any coffee shop run by hipsters; get your coffee and food and get out of their way. It's fine for a college town. Go to Roy's for the coffee and then go around the corner to Dunkin' for the donuts. Your wallet and mouth will thank you! read more

A fraction of what it was.Prices have risen,customer service was bland at best,sandwiches weren't completed as ordered,no sides included.I don't know what happened to Roy's but none of it is good unfortunately. read more

Stopped in for lunch on our way to Copper Harbor. Fabulous chicken salad sandwich with in house artisan bread. Interesting pasty choices. The bakery items look fabulous! read more

Roy's pasties are top notch with amazing varieties to choose from. The breakfast pasty was so good that we had it two mornings in a row for breakfast. My kids also loved their apple fritter and strawberry cream cheese pastry. I would give Roy's six stars if it was an option. read more

Got the OG pasty...so good and filling just like the miners enjoyed back in the day! Highly recommend Roy's for your pasty and pastries!

If you have one place you need to stop and get pasties from, this is the one. We bought several pasties (breakfast pastie, danish pastie, and their spicy pastie). We loved the breakfast pastie and spicy pastie (this was our favorite). The danish pastie (another breakfast one) wasn't as good. Staff was amazing and we would love to come back. read more

Fabulous pasty and bakery in downtown Houghton in the Keweenaw peninsula. Open daily. They have giant cookies, donuts, cronuts, pasties all fresh. They also sell frozen pasties to take home to heat and eat. We came for their breakfast pasties and they had sold out of their fresh ones. So we bought their frozen breakfast pasties. Heated them up in the oven the next morning and they tasted great. Breakfast pasty: eggs, sausage, and potatoes. Danish pasty: danish dough, eggs, peppers, onions, & ham. Pasty with a kick: traditional pasty that substitutes rutabaga for jalapeños and hot sauce. read more

I can't even rate this place on the pasties because they are never in stock. Went there many hours of the day a few different times and never had anything. The desserts are good though nothing extravagant but good and fresh. My main complaint is that they do not make enough for the days sales on pasties, I feel like a restaurant that constantly sells out of an item would then make more for the day read more

After spending almost a week hiking and backpacking on Isle Royale I wanted good food (not freeze dried) and came here. Had an INSANE sandwich (Roy's Pick) which hit the spot. The s'mores cookie is so good as well. My friend got a pasty and also gave their compliments. Fast, kind service. Next time I find myself in Houghton I will be back!!!! There is a nice place to sit on the sit and also outdoor seating. Would be nice if some music was playing but I really can't complain. Thanks Roy! read more

When in Upper Peninsula, MI a must try item is pasty. It's a pot pie version of Michigan. In Houghton, MI the best place to try pasty is Roy's. I tried traditional that had pork, turkey, potatoes, carrots and some really delicious seasoning. Portion is very filling for breakfast that makes you skip lunch. They also have some donuts and baked goods. read more

What a place! Great baked goods, sandwiches, soups and, of course, pasties. Stopped in with a group for lunch and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Friendly and courteous service with a smile. We tried a large number of lunch items and then went back for cookies and bars for dessert. Don't miss this place for a delicious lunch. $$ read more

Stopped here for lunch after hiking all morning at the Lake of the Clouds. It was 2:00 in the afternoon and there was a quite line, which I consider a sign of a good place to eat. It was very clean and the staff were super friendly. My daughter had to have a U.P. pasty. She had the beef pasty and enjoyed it. I ordered the Portage sandwich which was delicious! My husband had the Hot Italian Beef sandwich. He said it was very flavorful but there could have been a little more meat in it. He likes a higher meat to bread ratio. We all split a yummy m&m cookie for dessert. The case of donuts and pastries looked very enticing as well. We would definitely stop again if in the area. read more

We went here specifically to try the Thanksgiving dinner pasties, and I have to say we both agreed they weren't that good. It sounded like a much better idea in theory, unfortunately. The amount of options here are pretty great though! Lots of types of bread (I bought a loaf of nisu bread, which I'm planning to make bread pudding with- I'll try to remember to update this after I make it tomorrow but we'll see haha), and lots of dessert options as well. They even have a lot of salads and sandwiches in addition to their pasty menu for lunch. Overall, worth a stop to pick up some goodies, even if I would skip the pasties here personally. read more

Absolutely great pasties definitely a must try for anyone who appreciates a great pasty

A friend of our family brought fresh pasties for us to try. We absolutely understand why this family love this place. My favorite one was the "thanksgiving dinner" one. The crust is flaky and not heavy and it is stuffed with deliciousness!! The chicken broccoli pastie was also delicious. They freeze well and the instructions to reheat is so easy to do! I look forward to visiting in person sometime read more

Food was good. Service average, no one is thrilled to be at work on a holiday weekend. I hate being hyper-intuitive. They were out of the chicken and broccoli Pastie, but the vegetarian was also delicious. I wasn't brave enough to try the turkey cranberry pastie. I am used to spelling it pasty. I don't know these things. Lol. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie was delicious. Gracias. I appreciate the Pastie being served warm, om nom noms. read more

Delicious! I had a breakfast pasty, blueberry hill cronut, and dark roast coffee. All three were fresh and tasty. We'll be back!
