The Pantry

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. Sandwiches made when ordered using bread baked in store. Very good homemade soups. Coffee drinks are excellent. Nice selection of sodas along with coke products and teas.

Salads & sandwiches, coffee drinks & some specialty sodas. Good for lunch but don’t get here at noon or be prepared to wait. Both sandwiches were good as was the soup & potato salad. A little pricy, $ 22 for two. Always like it when a local place opens up so I can avoid the chains.

Very good a little foo fooie for the men. Food was fresh and taste. We had the warrior sandwich and tomato basil soup and the ham turkey and bacon on a toasted pretzel roll

The pantry was great came from a long trip had a great lunch will go there again great service and clean

Nice café atmosphere near outlet mall. Very good quality and delicious food. Easy parking. Friendly service. Will be one of my regulars!

Exactly what I was looking for. Quality, homemade food. Immediately upon walking in you get the feeling they take pride in not just the appearance of the place but in the quality of the food. Had one of their sandwiches which I chose to get the potato salad with. Both were a hit so I had to try desert. I don’t understand the other review saying the prices were «a little high» because they certainly were not. Looking for a good lunch? Go here!

My husband and I were looking for somewhere new to eat after shopping and we saw this place. We needed something toddler friendly and they delivered. We expected the kids meal to be small and have a pre-​made bun, but it was fresh turkey on fresh made bread! The chef salad was great and the ranch dressing is delicious. My husband got the roast beef and said it was awesome. We bought some fresh baked oatmeal raisin cookies to take home. The prices were a little high, though. We’ll definitely be back!

You can’t go wrong with anything at the Pantry. The soup and sandwich choices are great. We will certainly come back.

What a treat to find this place! Awesome soup, sandwiches, baked goods, and salads! You will not be disappointed!

How can The Pantry only have one review?! I’m creating a Unilocal account just to add another. This place is awesome. The sandwich’s, the huge salads, the soups, the tea and coffee drinks, I’ve never had anything there that wasn’t good. Talk about awesome service and kind people. Any time we’ve ever had a problem, they’ve always made it up in some way. Not even really «problems», just inconveniences. Like, sorry we are out of the soup you wanted, but pick a free dessert to make up for it! And that’s not been a problem recently, that was closer to when they first opened and were still figuring out quantities and such.
As for the bulk food side of the business, they’ve added stuff everytime I’ve been in there. Candies, spices, extracts, snacks… everything. They’ve got some awesome fresh produce right now, and it’s pretty much the only place my wife and I buy eggs anymore. Farm fresh eggs, and they are the biggest I’ve seen. Everything is local. AND you can buy the salad dressings that they make in house! (The poppyseed is awesome.)
So pretty much, if you havn’t been there, go. If you have been there, you probably are still going on a regular basis. If you went and didn’t like it, go again just to be sure because this place is one of the best in town!

Newer business/​restaurant to Tuscola, family owned and ran with owners usually on site. Near the Holiday Inn Express, across of the outlet mall. Recently expanded their hours into the evening. Includes a deli-​café and Amish-​style bulk food store. Café features many coffee drinks and specialty sodas; sandwiches on homemade bread and homemade soup, baked goods, and fresh salads. I enjoy a sandwich on the marble bread, toasted. Toasted means «panini style» — pressed. Very yummy. I recommend getting cheese on your sandwich as it’s good, Amish cheese. Special is often half a sandwich and soup for $ 6.25. Everything is always high quality and very yummy. Not the biggest portions (which can be good — I hate having too much and feeling wasteful, or stuffed) but very satisfying and in-​line with the price given the high quality. I’m glad they’ve expanded their hours. Be sure to check out their facebook page for the daily special. They have a few couches, a few tables and some bar height tables. Not the biggest place around, but I’ve never had a problem finding a seat. There’s room for them to add outdoor seating, so I hope they have some this summer.
