I recently visited the Griffin Family Cafe at 200 Michigan St #313 in Hancock, MI. I drove by the location once trying to find it. It's inside the academic building located there. The atmosphere is like a typical hospital type cafeteria. I was greeted timely and got my coffee and went over the menu. My eggs and bacon and toast were all great and they did a great.job. well worth a visit

A cozy café with friendly service and a beautiful view of the Portage Canal! Incredible omelettes and the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had! They are giant and have baked cinnamon apples in the center of the roll! They also just started selling Pannukakku. I tried it and it is definitely the best in the Keweenaw! The flavorful raspberry topping pairs excellently with the super thick pancake slice. Perfect eggy texture and crispy golden crust make this the perfect hearty breakfast item!
