I'm proud to be from the great state of Michigan. I've lived in the Mitten several different times throughout my life spending time in all corners of it. My journeys took me up and down the Lake Michigan coast, out east to explore Detroit and Ann Arbor, and to the dense forests of the UP.
Before writing with Only In Your State, I worked as a local TV news reporter and anchor, most recently in South Bend. Many of the stories I covered took place in Southwest Michigan. My roots are even deeper in the Wolverine State as I often head to Kalamazoo to visit family.
When I'm not out exploring nature, I'm avidly watching sports. I specifically have a deep love for the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater), and I get to write about them and several other Big Ten teams as and editor for Athlon Sports. I also love to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and our dog, Piper.
I'm excited to share all my favorite Michigan destinations with you. Keep exploring.
There’s nothing like waking up to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls or to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Well, there’s a place in South Haven, Michigan where you can do both. Ordering one of Bunde’s Bakery Cafe’s legendary pastries is part of the everyday routine for residents and renters on South Haven’s North Beach, with Lake Michigan only a 30-second walk away. Check out all these reasons why Bunde’s Bakery Cafe has been a favorite for myself and my family for the past three generations.
Guests at Bunde’s can sit down for a bite to eat or carry out as they head to their next adventure.
Regardless of how you dine, the early bird truly gets the worm at this place. For the best selection, you’ll want to get to Bunde’s as soon as they open. The good news for patrons is that no matter what they have left, it’s most likely something you’ll enjoy having for breakfast.
These coffee cakes are what keeps me and my family coming back time and time again.
Their pastries are freshly baked every morning--and a slice of these always makes it onto my plate. Their coffee cakes come in a few different flavors including cherry, almond, and classic Michigan blueberry. These are worth a stop in themselves. It's one of the recipe's that's kept them in business since 1942.

Look no further than their cinnamon rolls for the ultimate crowd-pleaser.
These sweet and gooey treats are rolled out, baked, and glazed every morning giving them a perfect texture. It’s hard to disappoint with cinnamon rolls to begin with, and even the pickiest of eaters can’t resist the ones from Bunde’s. The only problem you might run into is finding a way to scoop all the extra icing up from your plate.
These handheld quiches are bursting with savory flavor and are perfect to take on the go. They also have a very fluffy texture compared to most quiches, which I find absolutely delightful. This is one of my wife’s favorites on a beach morning when you don’t want to cook.
Bunde’s proudly serves Starbucks coffee at their bakery. First-time customers might appreciate some familiarity with their coffee choice after having to make a tough decision between a cinnamon roll and a coffee cake.
Bunde's Bakery Cafe is a must-try if you're staying overnight in South Haven, Michigan.
There are few words that describe the seemingly endless shorelines of the Great Lakes. The only way to make this view better is with a sweet treat from Bunde’s Bakery Cafe in your hands. Their pastries are ideal for holding while feeling the sand beneath your feet and listening to the waves crash along the shoreline.
The bakery is open from Thursday-Monday in the summer, but make sure you head to its website to check on its hours during the off-season.
