My daughter and I had a lovely breakfast at one of their outdoor tables overlooking the Boardman River and the bay. My granola and yogurt was delicious, and my daughter enjoyed the strata. The coffee and tea were excellent. The cafe inside is beautiful, and the curved bank of windows highlight the view. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We had been here before and a lovely experience. It wasn't busy and got great service. It was also nice to relax and enjoy our coffee and bagels while watching the slowly meandering river outside. However, on this trip, it was much busier, and has a result, the service and quality of our coffee decreased significantly. The bagels were still... More

Stopped here after some shopping for some morsels of dessert. They were very good and the atmosphere was very relaxing with mellow music--we sat near the window over the canal and you could see the bay across the street. Will definitely return on a future trip to TC.

We love to go early and sit by the water, drink a nice cup of coffee and have the breakfast burrito. They are not too big...perfect size. I love the one with the sausage, eggs and cherry salsa. Excellent. Fun on weekend winter mornings when the town is quiet and the snow is falling.

My most lovely memories of last summer were my early morning walks to the Bay and the reward of coffee at Morsels. It has the most beautiful, peaceful location: situated on the Boardman River, with excellent views of West Bay and the sunrise. Both indoor and outside seating allow for enjoyment in any weather. I ask Chuck what I want... More

Cute coffee shop on Front in downtown Traverse City. It is my favorite breakfast spot. I do not like huge, greasy breakfast meals. I like the comfortable atmosphere, booming fire on winter mornings and the friendly staff. My favorite is the breakfast burrito with eggs, cherry sausage, cheddar cheese and cherry salsa. It's amazing. I have it almost every weekend... More

Sandwiches are teeny tiny, I could literally eat 5 of them. The morsels are decent and I've heard the coffee isn't bad. Definitely wouldn't recommend for lunch, maybe a coffee in the morning or something for your sweet tooth.

This isn't a place I frequent often: it's quite small, and parking is difficult. The food is good, though there are more conveniently located places in town serving the same quality and type of food--so when I'm tempted to consider Morsels, I find that if I don't see a parking place on the street, I'll find another restaurant. What makes... More

Lovely views, friendly service, excellent coffee made with care. Can see why they had to expand. A good place for a quick cup of coffee or to sit and read the morning paper.

We love this little place. Clean, attractive, overlooking the Boardman River, then beyond to the Bay. Friendly service, and a very nice feel from the other patrons. There's a small deck that lets you sit under the trees, watching the ducks and the salmon. Superb coffee, wonderful breakfasts. It just doesn't get better than this!
