45th Parallel Cafe
102 W Broadway, Traverse City, MI
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Traverse City, 45th Parallel Cafe is a chef-driven breakfast destination where owner Nick crafts everything from scratch, including house-made bagels and those legendary buttery, perfectly-seasoned hash browns that keep people driving three hours just to come back. The kitchen elevates classic cafe fare in unexpected ways—like those transformative pickled onions on the turkey club—while the warm, family-friendly atmosphere and attentive staff make it feel less like a transaction and more like gathering around a table where someone really cares about feeding you well.”

The pickled onions on the turkey club takes the sandwich to a new level! My biggest problem is I never order anything else!
This is the best cafe in town! The breakfast skillet is to dye for! We live three hours from here, but we went three times in one year! A couldn’t resist taste! A must try!! Quality is way above the rest!!
I needed fresh bagels for our family’s traditional Christmas meal, and found out that owner/chef, Nick makes their shop’s bagels! I wanted a variety of egg bagels which he was willing to make. The bagels were tender with a perfect chew and served well with our shrimp salad. Best bagels we’ve had! Thank you, Nick!
Good food, great waitress. Kind staff and our entire family including our 3 girls left full and grateful for the good meal. We all loved it!
The absolute best hashbrowns I have had in a while! I had the steak and egg plate, but the stand out for me were those buttery, well seasoned hash browns! Then they have the cutest candy store with the oddest finds. Really enjoyed this place!
