Get a sandwich for a Lake Michigan picnic or road trip. Or buy some of the delicious cheese and get some smoked fish from Carlson's. They have local fruit jams that are a must try. Beverages too.

A small cheese shop in Historic Fishtown. The sandwiches they sell are HUGE! If you aren't really hungry 2 people could share.

The Village Cheese Shanty deli sandwiches are worth going out of your way. We especially like the pretzel bread. If you are not a hearty eater, they are large enough that you can easily split one.

Line not too long, friendly staff and fill orders quickly. Got two picnic lunches and drove south to first lake with tables( across from dunes). Very good,... More
