We stopped in after a long day of ice climbing. We immediately recognized we were underdressed, but…read morewere given seats at the bar. Our group ordered cocktails, and each person was very impressed by their drink. My espresso martini was excellent. Their fries were great, the meals phenomenal, and the salad delicious. Service was perfect, and ambiance was upscale and friendly. We will be stopping at Ernie's whenever we pass through the Soo.

Nice place, love the idea of the older cafe w a higher end menu. Food is delicious but price point…read moregets high fast.Most diners going there want that price point though. A daily special on the regular for appys, dinner and drinks would be a great idea with a bit more of a reasonable price pint. Portions can be a bit small. Had the Salmon plate, i would like have like to known how it shows up before ordering. Almost an appetizer size for me. Still very tasty. Service is good , drinks are fun. Hard to get in on a whim that's for sure and that's also good for them. Definitely a need to go to.

We passed through town about a month ago here, and stopped in for a coffee and treat at Dish. This…read moreplace impressed the heck out of me. The interior is so cool and the coffee is spot on! We talked with one of the owners, (how could she not talk to me, I was bubbling with enthusiasm !) It's beautiful and there's free wireless too. I'm looking forward to this morning's visit. Gotta go there right NOW ! :-)

Pricey espresso based drinks that are not prepared properly, but this is customary for Sault Ste…read more Marie. The espresso tastes burnt and is obviously not tampped properly. The brewed coffee is much better. The shop is dark, but cozy. I liked the tin work on the ceiling. The shop has potential, but better training of staff is a definite must. I will try this place again in a few months, and hopefully it will be an improved experience.

Delicious and tasty yum yum!! love would go back again 100% love the vibes and welcoming staffread more

Absolutely a gem. And I think the only legit coffee house on the island (and no I do not include…read moreStarbucks in that assessment). It's off the main drag, and there was a line out the door, but the staff were kind and quick and so efficient. I got a drip and a pour over and both were excellent. My kids got various drinks. Chai and caramel and vanilla drinks. They all loved them. My youngest even got a mango smoothie and she loved it. There's a little seating inside but better to walk a couple min down the street and enjoy your coffee in the park.

The place hums. Not with noise exactly--but with presence. The walls are crowded with art, relics,…read moreand fragments of lives once lived out loud. Everything seems to lean inward like it's listening. Watching. Remembering. I only stopped in for espresso--twice. But both visits felt like chapters in a story I didn't know I was part of. The first time, the staff was warm and welcoming. The second? I was greeted like an old regular, like someone who'd been missed. There's something magnetic here. Not just caffeine--something deeper. A sense that time folds a little at the counter, that the past is stored in the frames on the wall, and maybe in the coffee itself. We'll be back. Of course we will.

Place is small and very crowded with no air circulating inside and over the table lamps burning on top of you. Food took almost 50 minutes, granted kitchen probably is small and place is busy.

But if that is the case, then I must not like "traditional" fudge because this was one of the best I have ever had. We also had ice cream there during one of our trips, and my son said it was the best he ever had. I believe it was some sort of birthday cake flavor, or something with frosting mixed in. I took a bite and would agree that it was pretty amazing. We will be back in the area next summer, and I'm already looking forward to what I will try next.

A cute, cozy, immaculate eatery where you can have sandwiches your way. My group of four had a Reuben, a BLT, and two Turkey subs and there were nothing but compliments on the quality and quantity of fresh meats, freshly cooked bread and condiments. Next door is a food truck also owned by the same with sumptuous sounding seafood sandwiches and ice cream. This is a gem of an oasis in the UP. It also has a small selection of high quality Michigan souvenirs.
