- MTMary Terese2 days ago5.0My husband and I are visiting Traverse City this weekend and I’m so glad we came across this bakery. Everything we tried was so delicious! I was so blown away by the beautiful artistry on the cookies. The employees were so kind and welcoming, we can’t wait to come back and try more goodies!
- CHCarly Hofer3 days ago5.0Every single person who works here is amazing. I visit Potter's every week. I use their treats to build relationships within my profession. They are so beloved within the community, it's always a hit. Thanks guys :) You get a consistent product and the most kind service. The manager, Carlie and all the cashiers are top notch, the absolute best, they feel like friends. Locals know, but if you're visiting- must stop!
- JRJamerson RiesDec 27, 20255.0Fantastic donuts!
- JHJanell HumbleDec 21, 20253.0So disappointed with the Christmas decorated sugar cookies this year. I have bought cookies from here for many years and they were always wonderful. Hope this was just a fluke and not a continuing decline.
- GLGeorge LaBareNov 5, 20255.0Hi there potters, your probably not gonna read this, but I am from Florida, and my dad recently flew up to Traverse city Michigan for a job and got your donuts and flew them back down here, and I just wanna say they were the greatest donuts I’ve ever had in my entire life, I’m not even exaggerating, they genuinely are. So I just wanna say thank you for the greatest donuts ever :)
