Restaurants in Central Lake
1. Bachmann's Store
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 22 reviews
One of the few surviving five and dime stores, Bachmann's has been an integral part of downtown Central Lake since 1942. The historic building still has its original wood floors and the ornate old vault from when it was a bank. Bachmann's motto is, "If we don't have it, you don't need it!" Name it, you can find it here. Currently owned by the third Bachmann generation, you can tell how much they love their store. Great service, free gift wrapping, and friendly knowledgeable clerks make Bachmann's stand above the rest. Add a great selection of toys, gifts, resort wear, souvenirs, and a legendary penny candy counter--and you have a one-of-a-kind shopping destination!

This place is awesome!!! The people are so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate our family. Jack King, one of the owner’s sons, took us on a guided tour of the whole orchard. He is the best! We went July 21, 2020, and the cherries and raspberries were plentiful. They also have a very nice store where you can buy all things cherry! My kids loved the cherry soda!!! We also bought doughnuts that were to die for...fried fresh to order!!! Get them topped with cinnamon and sugar!

This little gem is located off the beaten track in the picturesque town of Central Lake. There are many other cute shoppes and eateries and don't forget to check out the labyrinth yearby. Adams Madams has a myriad of lovely and unique items from apparel to jewelry and more. I definitely will be making a trip back to this store. Although it is at least 45 minutes from Traverse City, it is a scenic drive and one where you should plan to make several stops along the way as there are many charming towns to pass through.
