Trailside Cafe

Crema's Take

“Tucked along the trails of Traverse City, this beloved spot strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine pit stop and a reason to linger over pastries with a river view. Their cinnamon rolls are clearly a standout, and the drinks arrive both fast and delicious, making it an ideal companion whether you're fueling up for a hike or settling in for a slower morning. It's the kind of place where friendly service and a scenic outdoor setting turn a simple coffee run into something genuinely memorable.”
