The Towne Plaza: Your Cozy Destination for Breakfast, Brunch, and More in Traverse City

Calling all brunch & bacon lovers! On a cold day, this hit all the notes of comfort. We were warmly greeted after walking in & promptly seated. The bar takes center stage, but the charm of the brick building has been preserved, making for a cozy eatery. Our server, Hannah, was great & had our drinks squared away super quick. The mushroom bisque, side of bacon & smoked burger were delicious, with all the flavors complimenting each other. I've also enjoyed the pancakes & French toast in the past. Really great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot for anytime of the year!

Never disappoints. Food. Drinks. Service. My "go-to" spot when I'm in Traverse City.

Stuffed tomato was enjoyable. Service was attentive. Ambience and music decent. Good spot for brunch the day after a night out.

At the last minute we decided to go here for Sunday brunch. Wait was only 15 min. Our server was wonderful and the food was great. A nice cozy place on a rainy morning.

We came early for breakfast and had no wait. I got the chicken Benedict and a side order of pancakes, my mom got the steel cut oatmeal. The chicken Benedict was good it came with a potato cake instead of an English muffin and I liked that change I just wish it was a little bigger because towards the end I ran out of potato cake. The pancakes were reminded me of cracker barrel pancakes, I'm not sure I I would get them as a plain side again I think with toppings it would be better. The oatmeal was really good, my mom said she would get it again. I liked it as well it was not too thick or overdone. Note when you come because of the location, there isn't any free parking that I noticed so you will have to pay for parking.

I love a good breakfast spot, and a local we met at dinner the night before recommended The Towne Plaza for their Benedicts specifically. Nate and I wandered down from our Airbnb and got one of the last open tables on the big patio. The patio is so lovely! It was mostly shaded when we were there, and it was fun to people and dog watch. (The patio is dog-friendly.) The menu had lots of great sounding items, but I wanted some healthier options, so I ordered a side salad and fruit and yogurt. (Note that fruit, yogurt, and granola are all sold separately for $6 each. The menu is a little bit confusing on that.) Nate got the omelette with bacon, ham, steak, and mushrooms. The food was really delicious! We asked for hot sauce for the omelette, which made it perfect. The side salad was a large portion and dressed nicely. The yogurt was some of the most delicious yogurt I've ever had, but the fruit was just okay (some of it was overripe). I had several bites of the omelette which was so savory and tasty! I really loved this place and even though it was a little bit pricey I'd definitely go back. The service was great too.

Absolutely blown away by everything about this establishment. Came here for a Friday lunch in mid-June. No wait and immediately sat down outside. I asked the waiter what he recommended he provided a detailed yet concise explanation of the menu, what the Towne Plaza is famous for, and his personal favorites. I got the Porchetta with scrambled eggs and loved every bite. It features some of the famous pork loin and pork belly along with the house made chimichurri. It was a perfect savory, earthy, and filling dish. My girlfriend got the potato gnocchi which was super tasty as well. Dishes came out lightning fast and our knowledgable waiter was attentive throughout. Will definitely be back next time we're in TC.

Came here twice on my four day visit to TC. We had come here last year and it was quite good, this time around it was also pretty good, though on our second visit I think we had a new waitress or something. More on that in a minute. They have a huge outdoor seating area, as well as comfortable seating inside. The wait staff is super friendly and the vibe is super chill here. A great spot to grab a cup of coffee, some delicious breakfast, and take your time. I've had the salmon cakes benedict, as well as the bell pepper with chorizo and poached eggs. Both were immaculate, with attention to detail showing in every aspect-great presentation, clean diced veggies and salsa, perfectly poached eggs, served at just the right temperature. On our second visit last week, there were definitely a few service hiccups. First, the cappucinos came out with no foam, and the waitress kind of timidly excused herself and said it's hard to make foam. Well, she could have asked for help if she was new at it. Then our order came out wrong, and we had to tell her to please fix it. Finally, the bill came out with the wrong items on it from the originally wrong order, and that would have cost us $10 if it were not fixed. Anyway, she was very polite and we were very gentle asking for the fixes, and everything was taken care of and made right promptly and courteously. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Just a star off for not training new staff properly. In any case, I'd still go back here without hesitation and can recommend it as one of the best breakfast spots in TC.
