So, if you are in Traverse City, and you making your way up to see the Mission Point Light House, stop in and see this quaint store! The owners are absolutely awesome and a hoot to talk with. The store has some cool history and lore of which I can't confirm or deny, but supposedly this was the second gas station in the US, or perhaps Michigan, and that ole Henry Ford helped build on the restaurant portion of the store. In addition, the store was supposedly also a fur trading stop at one point. Regardless, stop, take in the cool old atmosphere at the Old Mission General Store. ?

The absolute best place to stop by and see on the Peninsula. Amazing Home made pizza and Pasties, great wine and Soda selection. The owners are great people and have kept the history of this store intact. It's almost like going to a perfectly preserved museum as well as an awesome store/restaurant.

Had a nice little time here back in november of 2023 that I'll remember. Just lunch but it was delicious. Felt like we opened a door to a past time in history that can never be reclaimed but is somehow here. Like time stopped. The owner and his wife were extra nice and won't forget them. This place could be a movie set for old hollywood but you can actually buy things here. The best maple sugar candy I have had. Brands you just can't find anymore combined with the new. Antiques abound with a few showcases to walk around and basic needs articles too. BTW the door is on a tight spring so close it easily as to not disturb the peace there like I did. They sell liquor and wine by the bottle and have a little deli counter. If I could create my perfect world this place would be within two country blocks.

Walked into Old Mission on the day after Thanksgiving to find this old timey store smelling heavenly of roasting pork. There were homemade cherry pies and beautiful cookies that were huge with very tasty cinnamon rolls in the case. For sure you can get many great choices for lunch or dinner here from the best corned beef or brisket to a deep dish pizza. The woman who owns the store is always pleasant and accommodating to my allergy. This is really a hidden gem for the best casual meals on the peninsula. I’m planning a coffee and cookie walk soon in the warm and interesting dining area. Always a great stop to enjoy.

What an absolute treat!! The Old Mission General Store is a step back in time. If they dont have it, you probably dont need it. The proprietor is a hoot and a bit of a historian. Prices are a bit high, but it is a convenience store and I didn't mind paying. Can't wait to go back just to listen to James (Shamus) spin yarns about the people, places and products from the past.
