Nestled on Michigan’s Northern Coast, Petoskey is a seaside town
that beckons travelers with its charming Main Street, high-quality
cuisine, and downright gorgeous views. After a quick visit this past
May, this town has quickly earned on my list of favorite small towns.
So, when the day comes that you find yourself Petoskey, use this
itinerary to enjoy this gem of a town in all its glory.

Coffee. This coffee shop churns out espresso, drip coffee, and a
variety of pastries. I went for a mocha that turned out to be among
the best I’ve ever had, and I’d recommend one to any espresso fan.
For a hearty breakfast, check out Julienne Tomatoes.

Yes, it really is a tomato-themed restaurant, and they’re
everywhere; they even make for a cute and homey décor. Try the
eggs or order the blueberry pancakes for a true Michigan experience.
The juicy sausages here are also worth ordering.

sent me a jar of strawberry preserves that disappeared fast; it was
just sweet enough without being overly sugary. If strawberries aren’t
your thing, try the cherry preserves (Michigan produces 70 to 75
percent of the tart cherries grown in the United States) and go for
the red raspberry, lemon curd, pear, or even the chocolate milk
caramel. If you’re a souvenir fan, consider buying a Petoskey stone
— the official state stone of Michigan — at Grandpa Shorter’s Gifts.

lovers will especially enjoy Fustini’s Oils and Vinegars. This
specialty olive oil and vinegar purveyor stocks what you’d expect,
but also offers cooking classes. The restaurant showed me and a
group of other travel writers how to create surprisingly sweet
strawberry shortcake made with the shop’s lemon olive oil and
balsamic. Plus, trying out funky flavors (lavender balsamic, anyone?)
is always fun.
