Traverse Bay Cafe's Strawberry Sando

Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | May 25, 2024

While you might know Traverse Bay Café for its home-style lunch and breakfast selections, we bet you didn’t know this eatery also dabbles in international flavors! Head in for a morning smorgasbord of beignets and banana fritters, and top it off with a cool and creamy Strawberry Sando ($6) just in time for summer. Inspired by the Japanese sandwich and back by popular demand, this brunch-ified twist on strawberry shortcake tastes just as decadent as it looks: buttery brioche—minus the crusts, of course—layered with homemade vanilla whipped cream and studded with heart-shaped strawberry slices. Pair it with the café’s iced strawberry matcha, and enjoy your new jet-setting status! Snag your sando at Traverse Bay Café (810 E. Front St.) in Traverse City, but hurry—these treats sell out berry quickly. (231) 943-1755
