Grand Traverse Bagel & Bakery

The 5 stars here are specifically because of the only product of theirs we’ve actually had: their «rustic sourdough» bread. It’s incredible. It’s a true sourdough, sliced thick, with a substantial crust. Outstanding for a turkey sandwich. Makes the best buttered toast. Our family has been stuck on this bread for months now. It’s available at Family Fare (on 8^th St, anyway). Would love to try their other goods, just haven’t been able to say no to this bread!

THEY ARE NO LONGER ON BARLOW STREET.
I know cause I drove looking for it today and its moved. Took me awhile to find them listed on other internet sites.
NEW ADDRESS:
726 Munson (Rt 72)
231−947−0337
That’s on the east side of town in the Dunham Sporting Goods/​Dollar Tree shopping center.
I would not officially call this a bakery; more deli They had a few bagels/​a few pastries/​and some day old bread at around 10am. Lady stated the fresh bread had not come in yet. Did not ask where it was coming from but the shelves were sparely filled.
Bought a couple bagels, and they were OK-​chewy and somewhat dense as true bagels are. Also bought a day old Sunflower Rye bread (discount was minimal) which is a lot white flour with a tad barley and rye, but no added chemicals. Eaten ‘fresh’ it really tasted like white bread with cracked sunflowers-​made good toast.
over all i can state that there a a lot better true bakeries in town

I’m only giving them a 5 Star rating based on their amazing bread. their whole wheat loaf is euphoric. I would have it shipped FedEx twice a week if i could afford it. instead i have to settle for some wanna be LA baked dough. i can’t quite remember, but i think the bagels are good here too. I can only vouch for the bread people. you’re on your own with everything else.

Holy egg sandwich. Eggs, bacon, cheddar on a poppy seed bagel so good. The bagel was really good not doughy like most outside NY. We also got some baked goods for the office and their cinnamon roll had a decent amount of cinnamon; the pecan rolls were sooooo good. They also had a list of sandwiches they make and a really amazing selection of imported cheese.

Best bread in town. Real bagels – boiled then baked. Awesome authentic deli sandwiches with warm pastrami or corned beef on perfect rye. You’ll think you were in Oak Park! Located in Tom’s East Bay shopping center.
