Food Scene
Amazing coffee, friendly staff, great atmosphere! They also have delicious baked goods and breakfast!
You'll have to drive or bike here... but they have two locations and the vibe in both is very trendy. A lot of people go here for a work space or to catch up with a friend.

Spend the afternoon exploring "The Commons" (The Village at Grand Traverse) - an old state mental hospital that has been given new life after years of neglect. You will not be disappointed after walking through the shops of the Mercado, getting a beer at Earthen Ales, wine at Left Foot Charley, and delicious food at Spanglish.
Tip: We like to get Spanglish to-go and eat it at Earthen Ales or Left Foot Charley with our drinks. Both places allow outside food since they do not have their own food menu!

The drive from Traverse City to Elk Rapids will give you a whole new perspective. Along East Bay you'll see the rows of hotels on your left (north) and the state campground on your right (south). Once you pass the last hotel, you'll have expansive views of East Bay as you trek north toward Elk Rapids.
We love ethanology in Elk Rapids for craft cocktails and an awesome atmosphere. On River Street, you can walk along a few blocks of the downtown and end at the beach! Cellar 152 is a great spot to grab food or a drink and sit out on their dog-friendly patio!
