Inn and Trail Gourmet

Nestled on Western Avenue in the heart of Glen Arbor, Michigan, Inn and Trail Gourmet is the brainchild of sisters Corinne Cochran and Annabel Moore. Their story—Corinne’s 43‑year corporate career and Annabel’s globe‑spanning family life—feeds the market’s motto, "a compass in one hand and a fork in the other." Inside, the counter showcases a rotating selection of house‑made pastries, from buttery scones dotted with fresh berries to savory quiches that change with the season. The sandwich menu reads like a love letter to local ingredients: Aunt Rita’s Chicken Salad blends poached organic chicken with dill, red grapes and toasted almonds; the Classic Ham pairs Swiss cheese and dijon mustard on multigrain sourdough; Wild Albacore Tuna offers a spicy honey‑mustard glaze with jalapeños; and the Herbed Goat Cheese sandwich lets diners choose strawberry‑fig jam or smoky bacon jam. Coffee lovers gravitate toward the small‑batch Joshua Tree Coffee from California, available as espresso, latte, or the shop’s signature cold brew. Outside, a quiet garden patio with lattice‑framed tables invites guests to sip a cappuccino while watching the sunrise over Glen Lake. Beyond food, the market curates gourmet gifts, kitchen essentials, and take‑and‑bake meals, making it a one‑stop shop for locals and tourists exploring Sleeping Bear Dunes. Whether you’re hunting a quick bite, a unique gift, or a cozy spot to linger, Inn and Trail Gourmet blends culinary craft with the natural beauty of Michigan’s shoreline.
