Best cafe on Leelanau Peninsula, hands down! Recently in the Suttons Bay area for an anniversary, we stopped in for a late breakfast.
The Egg Nog pancakes, while they were as huge as your head, they were scrumptious! I highly recommend The Thompson; two scrambled eggs, jalepenos, tomatoes, peppers, and black forest ham covered with cheese. If your order includes toast, you must try the sourdough!
We'll be back to the 45th Parallel; the Latitude of Unparalleled Taste. -

Pretty good service. Clean. BLT was just ok, but I got the butt of the tomato on one half (not worth $7). Coffee/Mocha was terrible according to my husband!

Great service and tasty foodstuffs. I had a half sandwich (portabella) and cup of soup the other day. The soup was their tomato basil, they talk it up quite a bit in the menu, it was pretty good. Affordable and delicous, they also have a rather tempting bakery case. Cozy place to lunch.

Enjoyed a quick little lunch here today after plans to go sledding down a sand dune were thwarted. We walked in 30min before closing (winter hours) and they were happy to seat & feed us.
I had a scrumptious french dip - meat was impressively flavored and the cheese fantastically oozy. Good au jus flavor too.
The BF enjoyed an angus burger w/ cheddar, lettuce & pickles - it was gone before I even knew it existed.
The breakfast menu looks impressive too - am pleased to see they have some seasonal offerings too. Eggnog pancakes, anyone? -

You wouldn't guess it from the ho-hum diner decor or even from browsing the menu (which is full of so-so sounding standard fare), but the 45th Parallel really makes fantastic food!
My hubby and I stopped here for lunch while wandering the shops of Sutton's Bay. He chose a chicken sandwich and I got a salad. We thought they'd be boring, same-old lunches. Little did we know... His sandwich came on freshly baked, griddle-toasted rye bread with giant slices of juicy chicken breast. My salad was full of fresh veggies and had mixed greens to boot (not your standard iceberg or romaine). They had filling portions for the price and when we left, we told the waitress that they need to re-vamp their menus to show off their mad lunch-making skills! -

Not the best place to enjoy a latte or espresso drink. I watched the preparation of the vanilla latte I ordered and was dismayed with their technique and cleanliness. I refuse to call her a barista, let's just call her "server", she used the common trash can, which was full, to bang out the previous puck (lord knows how long it's been there). Which means the portafilter (where the coffee is dosed and tamped) was in physical contact with the GARBAGE. Futhermore, her espresso technique was sloppy and unacceptable (details withheld for the sake of brevity). The medium flavored latte was $4.50. The quality was unacceptable for any price. They need to know the difference between coffee with hot milk and a true latte with micro foam. If they are unable or unwilling to improve the barista skills of their staff, then they should stick to pouring cups of regular joe. If you do want a quality latte, try Deb's across the street (if they are open). I apologize for having to issue a negative review, but consumers should be aware.

The staff and food were exceptional. After balking at the $30 linguine next door, my wife and I popped into 45th. It was great. My new favorite spot in SB. I had a Italian sub. Perfect. My bride opted for quesadilla. Also good. Their salsa is very good - roasty. Our waiter, a young man from TC, was friendly and helpful.

Great place for breakfast or anytime for that matter. The breakfasts are delicious and healthy and the service is fast and friendly. It's not a large place, but they do a great business. They have a really varied menu and can cater to meat eaters as well as vegetarians. We really loved this place.

Pumpkin Pancakes are probably a seasonal thing, but worth driving from Chicago to eat them! They are served with whipped cream and cinnamon. The coffee is just okay, so if you're a snob then get the espresso and add some water. I'm not big on diners since I became a bit of a foodie, because a lot of the time they end up serving you piles of American cheese on white bread with canned gravy. Here, the omelets are superb, all the ingredients very fresh. They use interesting ingredients, like Fontanella and Feta cheese, morel mushrooms and jalapenos. The menu is veggie friendly! The best dish I had (besides the pancakes) was the Thompson. Not a vegetarian dish, but spicy and delicious. The owners also own the candy shop next door which you must try! If you are waiting for a table (expect to on a weekend day) this is a fun place to kill some time, get some fudge, find candy you haven't seen since you were little.
