From the friendly staff to the absolutely yummy food -- this place is 5+ stars! Our server was also the owner, and she was so fun to talk to! We had the breakfast Sammy and smashburger and would totally get those two dishes again! For those who like kale, their kale salad and homemade vinaigrette was SO GOOD! We also ordered a macaroon and brown butter cookie to go (P.S. We scarfed down the cookie before our check arrived ). We are looking forward to visiting this place again and again and again!

The food was actually fine, but I thought the prices were a little high for what you actually got. I got salmon tacos and they were fine. They had sufficient amount of food inside and the ingredients were good. My friend got the fish sandwich and he said it was fine. My friend got an Arnold Palmer to drink and the total bill with tipping all ended up being $60 which I thought was a little steep for two sandwiches and an Arnold Palmer so I wouldn't come here again because of the price.

Also it was brown on the top and grey on the bottom. The demi glacé was just cold gravy. They were out of the asparagus it comes with so I got one stalk of broccolini which was limp. It was served on a plate with two huge chips on the rim. My companion asked for unsweetened tea with sugar substitute (diabetic) the server brought a shot of simple syrup from the bar. When asked she said they didn't have sweet'nlow or something similar. The service was horrendous, she just couldn't be bothered to care. With so many good options in this tourist town this was a horrible experience.

If you're anywhere near Torch Lake or Alden, put this little find on your list! It's charming, delicious, peaceful, and full of that quintessential Northern Michigan summer feeling.

The coffee was terrific!!! I'll admit, I was surprised to find such a good latte along the highway like that. While we waited for our treats, we petted Ruby, their adorable, large poodle. That pulled our attention to the fresh produce. My wife is always bragging about the corn she gets at a farm stand in her Indiana home town. I challenged her that northern Michigan corn could meet that standard. The gentleman working there selected three perfect ears and I'm thrilled to report that, after a double-blind taste test with her entire family, Altonen's corn earned a unanimous victory! We also enjoyed their fresh blueberries and a loaf of zucchini pecan bread. Lastly, their hospitality reflected the best of the midwest warmth and servitude. We will go out of our way to visit this farm stand the next time we're up north!

The woman at the register was rude and short with us... zero people skills in my opinion. Made snide comments back to me about my coffee order. The chorizo burrito was good. The chicken salad croissant was meh... pretty dry and unremarkable. Coffees were both good, however we asked for no whipped cream on one and still got it. The baristas were apologetic, but it was very clear they didn't want to remake anything so we just said it was fine. Interior was cute. I don't recommend ordering any food that isn't premade in the warmers or cooler because they were super behind on food orders and we watched other customers wait for a very long time for their food. Don't go here expecting to be wowed.
