My iced latte was perfect, and the bakery treats that we tried were very tasty. I had a peanut butter cookie - perfectly sweet and chewy. My friend had a blueberry turnover and a cappuccino. If you're driving through this cute town, do stop at this bakery. You won't regret it!

We've come here twice now on our way through town and it's become our favorite stop. Small with not…read morea lot of seating, but always seems to be just enough. Display cases full of a large variety of beautiful pastries. Lots of breads and local goods (honey, maple syrup, knitted goods and store merch) for sale. EXCELLENT FOOD. Both times we've loved what we've gotten. You want a true, properly made croissant? Go here, you won't be disappointed. Coffee was made perfectly to order. I will say the lady at the counter isn't the most friendly, but it's not like she was rude either. Guess not everyone is bubbly and happy - it certainly wasn't bad service, just not the warmth I personally expect from a small business like that. But all in all, we love the place and will definitely be back next time we're up that way.

I took a little day trip to Cadillac and wanted (a late) lunch. I looked at reviews and this place…read morecaught my eye. As I pulled in, I saw what looked like the shack where they smoke their meat. An automatic star for that. When I walked in, I was struck by how it looks like a store as well as a restaurant -- and, indeed, they do sell candy, jellies and jams, wine, and it looked like they had a fridge in back with beer. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted; everything looked good. I ended up getting the rib sandwich -- basically a pulled pork sandwich. I really enjoyed it. It came with bagged chips that were too salty; I didn't eat many of those. If I'm in the area again in need of breakfast or lunch, I'd definitely stop here again!

The servers were all polite, friendly and helpful. We truly enjoyed reading the bios of all of the After 26 workers --- so endearing! The three of shared our meals and they were ALL so yummy!!! We started with a flight of their homemade daily soups --- what a great idea! The tomato bisque was FABULOUS! Entrees: Avocado Toast, Monte Cristo sandwich (on waffles!!!) and The Sweet - one of their "Hoppers" -- sweet potato tots, sausage, eggs, feta cheese and hot honey. We loved ALL of it!!

There are limited restaurant options closer to Interlochlen unless we drove through Traverse City. No reservations required. Super busy, but they get people in pretty quickly. Once seated, we started off with the smoked trout and artichoke dip. The dip was fantastic! We could have used more crackers, but we finished it! For my cocktail, I enjoyed an espresso martini. For dinner, my husband and I got the Friday trout special with mushroom risotto and broccoli. My mom got the two smoked meat platter with wings and ribs. To end the night, we shared a slice of coconut cream pie. Delicious! Definitely would stop by again if we were in the area.

I don't think we could have picked a better Restaurant to have our dog with! We literally had no idea that this restaurants theme is dogs! Moose and Stella's is such a cute Restaurant! The dog decor is absolutely adorable! We were greeted warmly and told our dog was absolutely welcome and they brought her a big bowl of water and some biscuits! This is definitely a mom café with lots of delicious looking foods to choose from. I decided on the corned beef hash as it was mentioned that it was homemade and popular and we also chose blueberry pancakes as it came highly recommend recommended. My husband chose a skillet that had several types of meat and sausage, gravy and hashbrowns. It was a daily special. Our waitress and other staff were so kind and kept our coffee cups full. As a sidenote, it was fairly close to closing time I would say about 45 minutes before they closed and not once did we ever feel like we had to rush. Our food came out and looked absolutely delicious! The servings were very big and everything was hot. The corned beef has was most likely the best I've ever had!! it was like a very rustic take on what I know is corned beef and I absolutely loved it! It was very flavorful and it had that nice crispy. Text her and places that you really crave with corn beef hash. 10/10! The blueberry pancakes were exceptional as well. They were light and fluffy and fresh blueberries all throughout. My husband skillet was full of all kinds of breakfast meats, cheese, hashbrowns, and gravy. I don't think you can do much better than that. He said everything was delicious and he really liked the gravy which is a complement to the business as he is extremely picky about sausage gravy! My daughter had the kids hamburger slider with fries and applesauce and she said it was delicious! Just a sidenote, they have a small menu for your dogs as well! We ordered our dog, Marley, a big hamburger patty and she gave it a 10 out of 10 We will return again and again, we come to the area for vacation and this restaurant will definitely be in our normal rotation when we visit!
