Our family has a new favorite lunch spot when we are in Cheboygan to do our shopping!  It is a wonderful little restaurant named Your Spirit, Your Place!  We have truly come to love it!  The food is all homemade, and the positive messages that they put out are quirky and completely amazing!  You will love it too, I promise!  I asked the owner if I could take photos of her business when we were there last week, and she said that I could!  I did take a few, and I shared one in a photo blog on my Buzznet account!  I also asked if I could write a full photo blog about the place, and she was nice enough to say that I could!  I can’t tell you how happy this made me!

Let’s get started with these hand painted and really fun tables !

A Coffee Shared With A Friend Is Happiness Tasted And Time Well Spent

To Gnome Me Is To Love Me

I couldn’t shoot them all because some were in use, but here are a few!  The one with my precious nephew, Gary, at the table was ours, obviously!  It is also upside down, but you can still clearly see the painted horse!

The work of several artists adorn the walls!  It is like a diner and an art exhibit all in one place! I am really impressed by the pretty paint scheme on the walls!  They are two colors that I would never think to put together, but they compliment each other so well!  I love it! (you are going to hear me say that often)

One wall even has a chalk board where you are welcome to share your thoughts!  I love this so much!  However, I couldn’t think of anything clever to share at the time!  I am sharing my photos now instead! Photos are my own contribution to the art world no matter how amateurish they may be!

The daily specials are written in chalk too!  I love this! (:

These lovely ladies were kind enough to let me take a shot of them while they were finishing up their lunch!

This is where the magic happens!  My favorite drink is their vanilla latte, and it is AMAZING!!!  If you are a fan of lattes, you definitely want to give this one a try!

Even the women’s lavatory is cheerful and fun!

Now for the important part … the FOOD!!!  Gary was having fun chewing on his straw after he finished his chocolate milk! (:  He enjoyed his scrambled eggs and bacon so much that we had to order him a second plate of eggs!  The staff were very generous and served him extra bacon as well!  He really appreciated this, and so did we!

They serve a very healthy menu that includes Vegan and Vegetarian dishes!  They even serve Australian Meat Pies!  You can see that I ordered my very favorite , the peanut butter chocolate chip french toast!  Words cannot describe how YUMMY it is!  I have also had their oatmeal, and it is real whole rolled oats, served with raisins, dried fruit, and slivered almonds!  I can’t say enough about a good bowl of oatmeal!  It can be very hard to find these days!

They serve both breakfast and lunch! Their Facebook page says that they serve Italian food too!  I didn’t know that!  I, obviously, have more things to learn about Your Spirit, Your Place!  Yet, I tend to be a creature of habit and will most likely order the french toast or the oatmeal! (:

There is a back room near the restrooms that has all of these pretty frames and other decorations!  I was traveling with a 2 year old, so I was out of time!  I will investigate these items further when I am there next week, and I will be sure to let you know exactly what I find!

After the other customers were done eating, I was able to get this larger shot of the dining room!

This is how cute it is from the outside, sitting on an old fashioned downtown block!

Well there you have it!  Your Spirit, Your Place is THE place to eat in Northern Michigan!  It has a little bit of absolutely  everything!  They have a menu with so many GREAT choices!  They have the most delightful and cheerful decor!  The food is absolutely delicious!  The owners and staff are so friendly and wonderful to chat with! They really create a welcoming atmosphere!

If you find yourself in downtown Cheboygan, Michigan, be sure to stop by and give Your Spirit, Your Place a try! You have my word that it will be a rewarding experience for your family and friends!

THANK YOU to Your Spirit, Your Place for allowing me to do this blog!

See you next time!
