Spencer

Michigan


Eating at this pint-sized cafe is like eating in your friend’s cozy kitchen, with whitewashed walls, books stacked on the sunny windowsill and fresh flowers popping from vases. The owners – she’s a pastry chef, he’s a cheesemonger – change their locally sourced menu of small plates every few weeks, so you might dig into rutabaga cauliflower soup or hanger steak with sunflower cream.

Order at the counter; a server brings out your meal. Feel free to pluck a bottle of wine off the shelf to go with your food. No reservations.
