“ Had a nice little time here back in november of 2023 that I'll remember. Just lunch but it was delicious. Felt like we opened a door to a past time in history that can never be reclaimed but is somehow here. Like time stopped. The owner and his wife were extra nice and won't forget them. This place could be a movie set for old hollywood but you can actually buy things here. The best maple sugar candy I have had. Brands you just can't find anymore combined with the new. Antiques abound with a few showcases to walk around and basic needs articles too. BTW the door is on a tight spring so close it easily as to not disturb the peace there like I did. They sell liquor and wine by the bottle and have a little deli counter. If I could create my perfect world this place would be within two country blocks. ”
“ On October 23, 2019, I had to make a "History" stop before wine tasting based on a positive referral from Kim at the Days Inn Hotel in Traverse City. It is located as #29 on the Old Mission Peninsula map. (photo attached). This is the Original General Store and Trading Post since 1839. The inside and outside is like going back in time from an old TV show called "The Waltons." While I was walking around inside from isle to isle viewing shelf areas of merchandise, my steps could be heard on the creaky noises from the Wood floors! Eat in or carry out from the Cafe & Bakery with speciality sandwiches, pizza, ice cream; coffee drinks, candy and even Pickles from barrels. Shop for items for a picnic such as wine, beer and "booze" or spirits. Walking through the whole store is wonderful to see "Antiques" of all kinds from the years of the 1930's, 40's and 50's. A few female employees working were even dressed in the attire from the era with aprons, hats and boots. I bought some penny candy from glass jars that were sold by the pound. (Photo attached ). What a "Back In Time", store called Old Mission General Store which is part of the Peninsula located at 18250 Mission Road. I highly recommend this tourist stop on the Mission Peninsula map before, during or after Wine Tasting. It's has a true unique part of history in Traverse City. "Bookmark" this business to stop here and see all the cool items inside, that will take you back in time with many fond memories of all! This store is Open Year Round ! ”
