Earth and Hearth

Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I was a semi-​regular for a while, since it was close to my work and I had a teeny-​tiny lunch window and Bud’s wasn’t there yet. They looked at me like I was from outer space when I ordered a veggie pita, and I think I may have been the first/​only person to do so. I wonder if the giant tortilla pie is still in the display? It’s a behemoth and my husband and I were always curious about it.
I would describe it not, as a previous poster did, as «a good place to pick up a sandwich» in Interlochen, but rather, «a place to pick up a sandwich in Interlochen.» Even in this teensy-​tiny town, there are better options. I am shocked that it’s still in business.

If you’re a fan of pasties, get one here. They’re d-​e-​l-​i-​s-​h. I discovered this place as an alternative to the much more crowded and louder Bud’s. I loved it. The owner is local and usually is working behind the counter. She is SOOO nice. I was a very frequent customer and every once in a while she tossed in a free something to say thanks, without being prompted at all to do so. It’s just a great place to eat. Comfy, good food and it has free Internet. They even provide computers with free Internet if you don’t have a computer. It’s very clear the customer is king, or queen, here and is everything a small town eatery should be. Love it. Try the sweets too. I haven’t had a bad one yet. You can get carry out and the service is very speedy.
The only downfall is, at least when I lived in the area two years ago, it was not open year round or in the evenings. It’s closed for the winters, I think.

Good place to pick up a sandwich if you are in interlochen. I visited the other day and was pleasantly surprised that this is more than just a bakery, they also sell gifts, sandwiches. I had a pretty good veggie pita, only could’ve been improved if the pita had been warm. Decent vegetarian selection, but carnivores are not left out either. Baked goods looked amazing, another time for those. Dine in or carry-​out.
