Charming exterior of AMERICAN SPOON in Petoskey, Michigan and more*

American Spoon!!! For the first time in years! This shop is an icon of Petoskey for me. I definitely want to stop by when I visit Petoskey in Northern Michigan.

Grown and made in Northern Michigan since 1982

I was exited about having lunch here, but unfortunately, we found that the cafe had become a Gelato specialty store. There is still a specious eat-in space inside, though. It's a shame...

AMERICAN SPOON ・Cafe & Gelato
411 E Lake St, Petoskey, MI 49770, United States

Petoskey shop is the original American Spoon where all started, located on East Lake Street right next to Pennsylvania Park.

Other locations except Petoskey is Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, Traverse City, and Saugatuck. These are all located in Michigan's beautiful and beloved resort towns along the Lake Michigan Shoreline. Every exterior of the shop is cute❤︎  You can see each shop's appearance in an illustration at https://spoon.com/pages/stores


Apart from the cafe, there is a market space in the same Petoskey building. All products are from independent family farmers along Lake Michigan's northern coast. You can find handmade fruit preserves & condiments made in here in Petoskey, Michigan. A lot of homemade options to choose. 


 Charming shops that line the street. 


You really can find adorable places in downtown Petoskey.


And just a little walk towards the coast from the street . . .

Fred Friedli Playground 

We reached Fred Friendli Playground within Bayfront Park. We sat for a while and admired the sky that was gradually getting dark. The sun is setting.

He is like, there is a secret spot he discovered. It's not on article nor website, but he think the place has the most beautiful sunset he ever knows. From now, he'll drive me there.     See you around, Rose
