Reviews for Fresh Coast Market in Traverse City, MI
My family enjoyed going to this location until the owner mistakenly thought bringing politics into his business was a smart... idea. (it was not a smart idea). I've been a past business owner and this is a quick way to ruin a business. My family will nolonger give someone with your views that are unAmerican and near delusional our money. I'm just being open about it here, butlots of customers will go away and not say a word. Please rethink your outlook on the world. Until such a miracle happens, myfamily will just go elsewhere. I'm sure the owner will weenie and whine about this being "politically motivated" but only a foolbelieves women should not have a right to their own bodies. It also takes absolutely forever to get a coffee (15 min) becauseonline orders come before the people waiting in person and if there are a lot of online orders before you, well it takesforever. So I have a real life, genuine beef with the slow coffee service (and why we stopped getting coffee after the firstthree chances). Awaiting the usual testy, hyper vigilant response incoming....

Fun little coffee shop in the area. There is a nice coffee bar with good options, and a case with a lot of sweets options. You... can get sandwiches and things here, too, which looked good. It's a cute market with a lot of options for coffee and food /snacks. Worth the stop if you're in the area. Read more
At first glance, this place was not too bad. Right down the road and the workers were decently friendly. After time went on,... however, it became apparent that no real structure was in place. I'm not sure if this is due to a high turn-over rate, orinadequate training. Multiple times, things would be forgotten from our order, I've actually witnessed a higher up scream at thepizza making crew (this higher up is still working there), and within few weeks, even the happier workers seemed to have losttheir drive. Looks good at first, but don't waste your money. Read more
This is the most friendly and kind place I have ever been. Every employee looks you in the eyes and offers help. The selection... of organic and local foods is great! I love shopping and eating here. We stop here every time we are in TC. Keep up the amazingwork! Read more
The quality of ingredients they put in their food products is first rate. They have a wide variety of local made products that... are attractively stocked and carefully curated. I have been there multiple times and have never had a bad experience. Probablymy favorite aspect of this business is how well they treat their people. I know several of the employees and they saythe culture of this place is amazing. They are fairly paid and treated kindly. An excellent place to get your food & drinks! Read more
I have loved this place forever & since it has become Fresh Coast Market is has only improved. I love the food. The sandwiches... are some of the best in town. The most high quality meat. They have improved and grown their menus so much. They sell localeverything from ice cream, to wine, to sweatshirts. I love it! They have coffee, pizza, breakfast, grocery, spirits, deli,cookies - you name it! Good service and they are always busy but do so well with it. The staff are always friendly. The pizzamenu is the most creative I?ve ever seen. Fresh Coast is my go to! Read more

We live very close to Fresh Coast and it's been our "to-go" place. I work from home a couple days a week and every day I'm home,... I would get a breakfast sandwich or lunch from there. (Excellent sandwiches). There has been a decline though. We got soups togo one day. I pulled the minestrone from the bag and thought I got the wrong order. When I opened the lid, it was clear insteadof a beef broth base. Not only was it clear, but it only had celery and onions, so it was hot water with some veggies. Also,since our last trip there, soups are now $10 a bowl! I compared their prices on some things with other stores and everything isdouble. $6 for a box of crackers. I know prices have gone up everywhere, but FC has gotten out of hand. Everyone also told us tostay away because of the owners attitude and politics. The employee's there are wonderful however, I have seen the owner be rudeto his employees and even had an attitude with me one time. We don't care about others political opinions, but I have seen himboast on FB that he's never once worn a mask (even though he has) and tries to push his beliefs on others. Don't mix yourpolitics with your business, it's like saying you don't care about half your customers. He's responses are also veryunprofessional. Go to Francisco's instead! Read more
