My husband and I ordered subs. They were nicely warmed and filled with fresh ingredients. The subs were both really filling. The place was clean and well staffed. Staff was friendly and helpful. My husband also got a cherry chocolate chip cookie, we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Not that we really had room after eating our subs, but sometimes things just look too appealing to pass up.

Every time we run the sleeping bear dune marathon we have to go to Shipwreck Cafe. They have amazing sandwiches. Service is stellar. Sandwiches came out very fast. Sandwiches are delicious and filling. Clever names for their sandwiches on the menu and they also have local branded chips. Highly recommend. Only negative is there is not much room for dine in if it is not nice outside.
