Whiting Forest Cafe

Great little place to pop in for a treat after hiking around the Whiting Forest and Dow Garden.

I love stopping here after my walk to get a drink! Great coffee

An amazing park and playground, but only 4 stars while the Whiting Forest Cafe's parking lot entrance is closed. I'll update to 5 if this changes.

Great coffee and the staff that was working the morning of 4/1 absolutely deserves a promotion.

my friend and I went to this cafe while in dow garden. the food was good and i really liked their tea. why the other reviewer rated them so far down just because they have to walk through the main area, idk. one of the main points in coming to dow gardens is to walk around and get exercise

The perfect place to stop and enjoy cold beverages and snacks as you wander through the Dow gardens.

They have closed the parking lot and now require customers to park at Dow Gardens and walk almost a mile just to access the cafe and Whiting Forest.

Delicious lemonade and yummy Michigan chips from Traverse City.

Solid place to refuel to explore the forest

I like their salads
