There’s nothing like waking up to the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls or to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Well, this place in South Haven, Michigan is where you can do both. Ordering one of the staff's legendary pastries is part of the everyday routine for residents and renters on South Haven’s North Beach, with Lake Michigan only a 30-second walk away. Check out all these reasons why Bunde’s Bakery Cafe has been a favorite for me and my family for the past three generations.

Guests at Bunde’s can sit down for a bite to eat or carry out as they head to their next adventure.

Regardless of how you dine or what time of year, the early bird truly gets the worm at this place. For the best Bunde’s MI menu selection, you’ll want to get there as soon as they open. The good news for patrons is that no matter what the staff has left, it’s most likely something you’ll enjoy having for breakfast.

These coffee cakes are what keeps me and my family coming back time and time again.

Bunde’s pastries are freshly baked every morning - and a slice of these always makes it onto my plate. The coffee cakes come in a few different flavors, including cherry, almond, and classic Michigan blueberry. These are worth a stop in themselves. It's one of the recipes that's kept it in business since 1942.

Look no further than the cinnamon rolls for the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Switch it up with something savory by getting one of the personal quiches.

These handheld quiches are bursting with savory flavor and are perfect to take on the go. They also have a very fluffy texture compared to most quiches, which I find absolutely delightful. This is one of my wife’s favorites on a beach morning when you don’t want to cook.

Pair your pastry with something familiar.

Bunde’s proudly serves Starbucks coffee at the bakery. First-time customers might appreciate some familiarity with their coffee choice after having to make a tough decision between a cinnamon roll and a coffee cake.

Bunde's Bakery Cafe is a must-try if you're staying overnight in South Haven, Michigan.

Take in scenic Lake Michigan while you snack and sip.

Few words can describe the seemingly endless shorelines of the Great Lakes. The only way to make this view better is with a sweet or savory treat from Bunde’s Bakery Cafe in your hands.
