The blueberry pancakes are amazing. I always buy a loaf of Nissua bread to go. Makes tasty toast in the morning with butter and coffee.

We love this local brewery! Great beer. I love to try a beer flight and sample the beers that are only available at the brewery. Bring along our growler and fill it with your favorite! They don't serve food, but you can bring in food from elsewhere and eat it while you drink.

Sightseeing
This tour is a must for understanding the history and impact of the copper mining industry in the Keeweenaw Peninsula! I thought 2 hours and $35 seemed like a big commitment, but we had a smart knowledgeable Michigan Tech student for a guide and it was so worth the visit. Wear a coat! It is freezing cold, wet and drippy in the mine!
