Petoskey Pretzel Co.
Restaurant
👍 Great Pretzels! Just the right amount of sold and great flavor. Quick service. There is nowhere to sit, but is great for a quick grab and go or to take to the waterfront. Service was ok, they never asked me about cheese or dipping sauce which was strange. That should be the question they always ask...

Grain Train Natural Foods Market
Natural goods store
😠 The staff is always friendly and helpful should you need anything. However, the selection is poor and the prices are outrageous. I'd love to be able to grab something from the deli for lunch, but I always realize that at their price point I'm better off just ordering take out. Would not recommend.
