Kari and I decided to stop for a treat, and we walked into the American Spoon. For Detroiters old enough to remember going to Saunders, the American Spoon will remind you of those memories. The gelato was light, refreshing and quite tasty, and I saw at least 24 varieties. The service was quick and and pleasant, and we were greeted... More

This was a lunch stop on our way to Mackinaw City. The menu options were inventive. I chose the chicken salad. It was not my mom's chicken salad. It was amazing. Charmoula, haricot vert, frisee, chickpeas, yogurt and herbs. My friend selected the Whitefish sandwich pan seared with dill cucumber slaw. It was very good -- a bit to much... More

We've been fans of American Spoon for years - our friends in Wisconsin look forward to getting Spoon Food jams, relishes and sauces for Christmas and we use their products constantly for both entertaining and everyday. We love the cafe and were so pleased when it opened. The food is fresh and upscale and the great is that their own... More

if you're into gelato this is the place to be in petoskey! lots of flavors! What usually brings me to this cute little cafe (has outdoor seating!!) is their fried egg sandwich, with bacon, jelly and micro greens, its absolutely scrumptious! The cafe itself overlooks lake street and is right in the heart of downtown so its great for people... More

I have to visit here a few times each summer to get me some gelato. I have never in my life tasted something so heavenly. Not to mention they have every kind of flavor. Definitely one of my favorite ice cream places.

Sopped by a little store as we walked around Petoskey on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Free samples of many scrumptious dips, jams, preserves and other Michigan-native foods. Prices are a little steep- but you can taste everything before you purchase. Worth a stop if you are in Petoskey or any of their other locations...

We have vacationed in Petoskey for many, many years. Every time we stop at American Spoon Foods. The atmosphere is light and airy and so pretty over looking the park. The food is always exceptional and the gelato and sorbeto are so much fun. Wonderful, unique flavors you can sample before you make your purchase. Everyone who works there is... More
