The Village at Grand Traverse Commons Local Food Tour

Spend your afternoon strolling, sipping and savoring at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons! This historic and beautiful location offers a taste of Traverse City, all within walking distance. Here are some stops to include in your next tour:

Earthen Ales

Drop by Earthen Ales for a can or growler to-go of locally-brewed beer! Try their mainstay “Up North” IPA, the Juniper Rye. Inspired by the traditional Finnish sahti, this brew is reminiscent of a northern Michigan forest with its pine-forward flavor featuring Simcoe hops.

Spanglish

Next door to Higher Grounds, Spanglish offers great Mexican bites from tacos to tortas. Make sure to order their vegetarian Three Sisters Tamale, which features squash as the main ingredient, highlighted by the addition of beans, red bell pepper, and sweet corn.

Cuppa Joe

A great stop for, well, a cup of joe, Cuppa Joe also offers a full breakfast and lunch menu, alongside their famous blueberry lime scones. They’ve been baking them for 18 years using locally sourced blueberries and a tart lime glaze, and it’s a great sweet stop for your tour!
