The Farmhouse Deli & Pantry

We were traveling in the area and were looking for somewhere to stop for a sandwich. Fell upon this on Google and decided based on the ratings to give it a shot. Upon walking in, we were very pleasantly greeted and told the lady we were new here. She was very helpful, showing us the menu and providing some recommendations. As we approached the counter to order, our mouths started to salivate as we saw an array of beautifully homemade salads, which were unique, including a carrot curry, brussels sprouts, kale salad, and many others. We ordered the. Belly Buster sandwich, which had smoked pork and a few other ingredients. First of all, it was enormous and enough for at least two people to share. This was also one of the most unique sandwiches I’ve ever had, and it was fantastic. We also ordered the Muffetella sandwich and it was also very good, especially the bread which was homemade. We ordered a couple of different salads which I mentioned, and they were fantastic. Topped it off with a coconut macaroon and carrot cake, and this place got a home run. In fact, if lived in the area, I would be a regular.

My boyfriend got the Cali Ruben and said it was delicious and well-balanced. I got the flank steak with cornbread and green beans - WOW, it blew my mind. That was the best cornbread we both have ever had. The green beans were cooked perfectly. The chicken tortilla soup and the vegan kale and turnip soup inspired us to make more soups this fall. Very friendly staff, and beautiful inside. Definitely stop here if you are in the area and want something healthy and delicious!

We love everything about Farmhouse Deli! We come for sandwiches every day were in town. We love the hummus wrap, turkey, and ham sandwiches. Their deli salads are the best and so are the desserts! Everything is fresh and served with a smile. They have the cutest outdoor spaces to enjoy their delicious food!

Every time we go to Saugatuck we stop here. They have so many healthy and delicious options! They always have a fabulous gluten free selection for both deli and backed goods. I remember the first time I walked in and saw a chocolate cake with decadent pink frosting under the glass. As someone with celiac, you know the things under the glass are never for you. But much to my surprise they were selling this by the slice and it was gluten free! It also ended up being one of the best cake slices I have ever had! But I balance the cake slices here with pressed juices (all of them have been super delicious) as well as some pretty healthy salads. This time we had a few different juices, jumbo shrimp, potato salad, beets, curried carrot salad and kale salad! Everything was so good that we stopped on the way home to get some to munch on throughout the week!

I have never had a bad experience here. I love their cubano! But here’s the real thing: I am not gluten free. I love gluten. BUT — the GF double chocolate cake is quite possibly one of the— if not THE— best cakes I’ve ever had. Ever. It’s the cake I ask for every year on my birthday. TBH, the GF is better than the regular one!! If you are GF, get the GF double chocolate cake & thank me later.

I'm actually surprised I haven't reviewed this place before. I come here often when I visit my hometown. It is a must stop before the beach and here is why. THE FOOD!!! its amazing, they have vegan options a bakery and local food and drinks. My favorite is the BLT because that aoli is TDF. However I was recently told I could get that on any sandwich so I decided after years of ordering the same I'd try the Bahn Mi sandwich and even that was TDF. I love the Traverse City Teas and usually pair my sandwich with that. I enjoy the indoor seating but sometimes it is filled with tourists and it's more enjoyable to eat it elsewhere. Summer season there is almost always a wait time, but I have never waited longer than 15-20 minutes for a meal. The people are friendly and efficient. 10/10 would recommend this place. & your friends will love you if you bring back dips from the cooler. Parking is good and they have clean restrooms as well.

I absolutely love everything about this place. It’s a bit on the pricey side for a deli, but the food is so fresh and delicious- it’s worth it! I wish I could eat here every day! The kale salad is out of this world- you should try it even if you are not crazy about kale. The same goes for the smoked salmon. The breads and desserts are beautiful and delicious. You really can’t go wrong with any order! Super friendly staff and adorable, charming atmosphere.

Our whole family LOVED this restaurant. While staying in South Haven, we drove up to Douglas (about 20 minutes) on our way to Saugatuck to eat here based on a friend’s recommendation. They offer deli counter salads, soup, fresh bakery, a coffee bar and the most delicious sandwiches. My son said he had the best Cubano sandwich he has ever had here. I had the best vegan Tofu Bahn Mi and vegan “Ding Dongs” fresh made in their bakery. This restaurant serves meat but also offers several vegan options in the deli case salads, a couple sandwich options, wonderful vegan bakery items and nondairy milks for the coffee/teas. The service was friendly and efficiently handled the people lined up to order. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. We made a special trip the next day to go back and eat here a second time and returned later in the day for a third visit. Highly recommend for omnivores, vegan, vegetarian and even some Gluten free.

While visiting from out of town I decided to meander around and visit some other towns. Since arriving in Michigan I had been craving a sandwich and recognized that for whatever reason it's kind of hard to find a cold sub here!! So when I saw the Farmhouse deli sign I pulled in! I could tell from the packed parking lot that it was going to be pretty busy so I wasn't surprised to see a large line when got inside. They were very up front in letting me know that sandwiches were running about a half hour and so I just decided to grab a cold sandwich and some side dishes and have a picnic at my air BNB. The ladies working there were very nice and doing well to keep up with the crowds. In fact despite how busy it was one actually brought me a basket when she noticed that I was full-handed and continuing to add to my cache. I loved the broccoli/kale/brussel sprout salad and could have doubled down on that. I appreciate that it did not have heavy mayonnaise or oil which is so hard to find in a good broccoli salad. I was most excited about the beet salad but I have to admit that I tossed it after one bite. Cumin and beats are a combination that I do not enjoy. The egg salad on the other hand was quite yummy. One piece of feedback would be to give a little bit more information on the prepared sandwiches. My only option was a Jambon Buerre which had Rosemary ham and at least a quarter stick of butter. It looked delicious but I had never eaten one before. I thought maybe it was a Michigan sandwich so I sent pictures to my friend and asked her how I was supposed to eat it and she Let me know it was not a Michigan thing and that her guess would be that I should cook it to melt the butter. When I sent my husband a picture he said the same thing. I really wanted a cold sandwich so I took the extra step to look it up and was glad to see that it is in fact a cold sandwich although I'll probably remove a little bit of that butter. I bought a few extra supplies as well and everything was delicious.

We decided to check this place out because we were looking for a light lunch meal. When you first enter you are greeted by a line or not just depending on how busy it is. This was our first time here so we were definitely confused when someone came up to us in line to take our order versus ordering at the counter. That's the only thing I think they could change is explaining more how the process works because I had to ask where to go. I think it was just an oversight since they were extremely busy. The order area seemed a little congested and they had a lot of options you could get from the cold bar and desserts. Because it was so small you seemed rushed by people behind you. Now onto the best part, the sandwich. The whole grain bread was nice and hearty. It had a lemon mayo on it which I'm still debating if I like but would try again. I left full and satisfied and that's all that matters.

I Farmhouse Deli is the unsung hero of our foodie dreams. Their baked goods? Pure wizardry - it's like they summoned the baking gods for each treat. The to-go items? A lifesaver for the hungry-on-the-go crowd. The new design? A feast for the eyes, making the deli a spot where you want to hang, not just grab a bite. And can we talk about how they cater to foodies? Texas Tamales, chicken stock, cheeses, dips - it's like they cracked the code to a food lover's heart. They're basically the necessity this area didn't know it needed. Farmhouse Deli, you're not just a deli - you're a culinary oasis that caters to our taste buds' wildest fantasies. Keep making our food dreams come true!

Delicious food. Salads, sandwiches, bakery items, snacks. Spacious with plenty of tables and free WiFi . Good selection of beverages.

Here now, eating lunch at a restaurant that my friend in Saugatuck raved about. All that I can say is he has good taste. The service works like a well-oiled machine with the option to sample wonderful salads behind the counter. There are so many sandwiches to choose from . My husband and I both chose the Cali Reuben with a side of detox salad, which was really good. Thisnplace reminds me of Billiie's Grocery in K.C., so anyone familiar with that place knows that I am giving high regards.

We were looking for a good breakfast spot open early in the morning and stumbled across the farmhouse, deli and pantry. What we thought would be a solid breakfast turned out to be an amazing food adventure! From the moment we walked in the door, we were kindly greeted by staff and helped through the ordering process. You order from the front counter, and then get a ticket that you take to the cashier to pay. They then call out your name and bring you your food if you are in the far rooms. Great service! The space is large, wide, open, and very clean and modern. There is an abundance of seating that is carefully curated for an intimate dining and conversation experience . What a great find! We both started with black coffee and loved wherever they get their local roast from. I got the breakfast sammie, and absolutely loved it. Whoever thought of putting pickled onions and a delicious and flavorful spread on homemade bread along with egg and bacon, was brilliant! My husband got the breakfast burrito and said the eggs were some of the best he has ever tasted. He was a big fan! Thanks to Yelp and this fine dining establishment, there is a coupon for a free cookie when you check in! We cashed in for a chocolate peanut butter cookie and absolutely loved each and every bite. It was so good. I forgot to take a picture before eating half of it! We try to get to Saugatuck, as often as possible, and the farmhouse deli and pantry will now be a staple for our future visits. Looking forward to returning again soon.

I've had the pork banh mi sandwich a couple times at Farmhouse deli - 10/10 would recommend! Their broccoli salad is also very tasty and plausibly healthy. They have a selection of other salad options to choose from that all look fresh and flavorful. I like all the niche soda brands they carry in the fridge. Bakery items are all next level. Come hungry!

This spot is 5 stars! Order ahead online for pickup for beach picnic. We had Pork Binh hot sandwich and Turkey Club cold sandwich. Both were great (esp pork)! Cute ambiance. Refillable water. Shop their healthy refrigerated options and sauces while waiting in line.

Shrink fellation strikes again! Left disappointed after my sandwich was more of a nibble size. What is going on here? Good quality, but absolutely will not be returning. No matter how good the "sandwich" have been. Not satisfied. They can do much better. I don't think they want people walking away feeling, satisfied and ripped off. $14 sandwich pretax.

Love the food. Service is awesome. Cookies are fabulous!!! The place is very clean!! Breakfast sammies were great.

Cute breakfast stop on our visit to Lake Michigan! I love avocado toast, so that's what I ordered. It was extra yummy with an over-easy egg added to the top!

They need a better system. 1st of all, have to admit their, sandwiches are great. But their service is slow and backwards. It took forever to get our food and then, when finally ready (one was sitting on the pass but apparently no one thought it might actually belong to a waiting customer,they only had half the order and "forgot" to make the second sandwich. A half an hour later, yes 30 minutes to make a cold sandwich, I had to go back up there to ask about it. They didn't have my name or my order and were walking around trying to figure out what happened. They asked me what my sandwich was again then realized they had been walking around with it in their hand. Again, great food but their people taking care of customers have no idea. Not my words, the lady holding my sandwich's word.

So glad I hopped off the road for lunch here. Must try place in Douglas/saugatuck. So many great options from sandwiches to deli salads to coffees and sweets. Loved everything about this restaurant/deli. I will be back. Cuban was fantastic!

This place was so good it is dangerous. Like spend all your money eat there every day dangerous. We had a really nice lunch, I ordered the Cuban and both my friends got sandwiches. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. I like the deli style ordering system, although I can see it being difficult during the summer when it really gets busy. But it was popping when we were there in February. The vibe is industrial but warm? Oh, and we ordered the chocolate cake and it was to die for. Definitely save room for dessert..

Delicious sandwiches. The Cuban was a star. We tried a few of the dips. Two were great, and one was pretty bland (spinach and Gruyère). The line can be super long, so plan on a wait.

We had a wonderous time in Douglas, Michigan. Douglas and Saugatuck sit on opposite banks of the Kalamazoo River at its mouth and are beautiful year-round. Great in Autumn! Our occasion to visit today was to enjoy lunch at the Farmhouse Deli situated on the Blue Star Highway in Douglas. We were very surprised to find that the restaurant had only reopened the day before after extensive renovation to its aging store. Lots of seating had been added for a couple of dining rooms and the facilities were fresh and sparkling. Sandwiches are LARGE here so my companion and I decided to share a classic pastrami sandwich along with a bowl of fresh heritage roasted tomato soup. The grilled pastrami was crisp around the edges and well seasoned with great mustard on rye. The soup was hot and delicious with enough left for take-out. Folks here were warm and friendly and made sure we had everything when they brought out our food. Sweet place! We decided on a walk after lunch so drove about a mile to Douglas Beach on Lake Michigan. This beach park is a hidden jewel with parking above the beach and beautiful wooden stairs leading to a pristine beach and sparking, wind-driven waters. A little walk by the surf lifted our spirits for the trip home.

What happened here? The cold pesto chicken breast is absolutely flavorless....definitely not chef worthy...and my lemon bar NOW has coconut in it? WTH...has chef left the building? Awful food. It was never awful before.

Fantastic sandwich shop and bakery. We split a Cuban on freshly grilled bread with juicy pulled pork, savory ham and pickled onion, one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long while. We also enjoyed the dill potato salad, made with oil, not mayo and a decadent huge slice of moist, flavorful carrot cake, which does have raisins and nuts and amazing cream cheese frosting. The clerk was helpful with suggestions. The space is clean and modern. Very comfortable to sit in the large dining areas or the outside picnic tables. Definitely give them a visit.

Tried both the Sammie and Rosemary chicken breakfast sandwiches. Both were excellent. Visiting from out of town but would stop back on our next visit.

This place was a delightful find! Super busy on a Saturday afternoon with efficient service. We waited a little bit to order and then we were told our sandwiches would take 25-30 minutes, however they were out in under 15! I had the BLT and it was delicious -- I absolutely loved the aioli (seemed a little lemon-y?)! We sat on the picnic tables out front and we're melting in the sun -- but as we were leaving we realized there are shaded picnic tables in the back that nobody seemed to be sitting at! I would definitely sit there when we return.

Farmhouse is quickly becoming a regular lunch and (as of late) breakfast stop. I'm a local (SHS grad) who moved and returns a few times every year to enjoy our Rockwellesque town, old friends, and (of course) great food. Farmhouse keeps it simple. The layout and small eating area is modern, intuitive, and current with the times. QSRs are popular for a reason. Mom and pop LOCAL QSRs are special and (when well run) are a delight. Farmhouse has a few, choice menu items and PLENTY of drinks to satisfy you. This time around, we had the Cuban, egg sammie, and liquid sunshine juice. The Cuban was SO smoky and hooked us immediately. All three items were gone in under 5 minutes. Bonus: We actually felt BETTER for the entire day after drinking the liquid sunshine. Who knew liquified carrots could turn your whole day around? We've had the deserts (previous visits) and have MOST (every dessert is solid) enjoyed the lemon bars and brownies.

This little place is darling and has the absolute best baked goods. The staff was so helpful and patient as we decided what to get and order. They remembered us which was so lovely.

Awesome salad options, get the pick 3 deli salads combo salad served over a bed of kale salad , delicious!!

A delicious creative menu featuring the freshest of ingredients. Portions were excellent but be prepared for vacation spot prices. And perhaps a bit of a wait for for a sandwich order (but they bring your order to you as you wait in the dining room).

Really liked this place! Looked at the line and felt a little doomed but they were very efficient and the line went quickly. The sandwiches were delicious and the freshness of the ingredients was obvious. We ordered desserts to take with and they were not disappointing (I hid mine in the frig so I didn't have to share). I liked the simplicity of the seating as well as the abundance. The outside is deceptive but the inside is big and roomy with seating outside

Still five stars! We have been coming here every year for the last few years and it's typically the soups, baked goods and tofu, bánh mì sandwiches that draw me in each time. It's a little on the pricey side, but fun to see so many artists and treats under one roof. I was excited this past week to visit and see their new expansion which was much needed. The dining space is much larger, and it seems as if they have even more baked goodies in the case. It took everything in me, not to order every fall flavored treats that you were offering. You can find everything from homemade pasta and fresh local milk to creative salads and coffee drinks here.

If I lived in the area I would frequent this place A LOT! The Belly Buster was incredible and would order that again in a heartbeat. You also can't beat the price @ $10 for a giant sandwich. If you are anywhere in Michigan this place is worth the drive

I'm not necessarily vegan, but their vegan banh mi is so good. They have a lot of options to cater to a variety of diets (GF, vegan, paleo, etc). Everything I've eaten there has been amazing. It may just be a deli, but it's on my list to take friends and family when they come into town. It never disappoints. My only complaint WAS the seating. They have been doing an expansion which I'm sure has improved the ambiance, but I haven't been there since it's been completed. Service is always great and they are quick to get your orders out even when they are really busy.

Food is absolutely incredible! The service is wonderful and the staff is so helpful and kind.

Yes it is good sea food good all good go here five star eat here pls it's good so so good

Loved the Cali Reuben! Super cute spot and the chocolate strawberry cupcake is a must have.

Really great place for a quick bite. Found some awesome gluten free pasta in the shop. The service was great- check out process a little confusing for those not in the know-cash register across the room from where order is placed, so slightly unsure if we were to pay right after the order or when food was served.

Food was freshly made and full of flavor. The outdoor space was wonderful. Like a picnic in the woods (even though the parking lot can be seen and heard. The cashier was super informative.

Spending the night nearby and wanted a quick deli sandwich. This place did not disappoint. We bought the Turkey club sandwich, Greek cucumber salad, and turtle brownie. Each one of these items was 10/10. Everything tasted so fresh. The sandwich was extremely flavorful. It had the right amount of vegetables, oils/vinegars, bacon, seasooning, ETC. The salad was good. The dressing was mild, but all of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The brownie....was absolutely delicious. Im more of a savory person, but this brownie was amazing. Everyone was helpful. There is a picnic bench type of table in the middle of the deli, not much space to sit and chill. It was worth the drive from where we are staying. I will come here again next time I visit the area.

If you're driving by or staying within an hour of this place stop!! This is one of the best delis I have ever been to and I'm a snob about deli salads. They had a big variety. A perfect stop if heading to the beach or a park to pick up picnic supplies. Everything we ordered was super fresh, very flavorful and just down right delicious. The flat bread was crazy good, tuna salad was crazy good. Definitely more of a grab and go spot but there's a patio and lots of picnic tables in a nice wooded area in back. The service was so kind and appreciative. Pretty sure you can't go wrong here! This is my first trip to south west MI but if I return this deli will be a must stop for me.

The Farmhouse is a must-eat spot for those who appreciate good food. The vegan bahn mi is one of the best vegan sammies I've ever sunk my teeth into, and the carrot cake made me cheer. Even if there's an intimidating line, it's 100% worth your appetite, I promise!

Stopped in again a couple of weekends ago and it's still great! This time we were there around breakfast/brunch time before we hit the road to head back home. So I got the egg salad sandwich and a bag of chips for a little road meal and some refrigerated goodies like the coconut panna cotta (so good! With bits of chopped pineapple and passion fruit on the bottom) and a chocolate mocha mousse (also amazing and HUGE! It lasted me three nights for dessert because it was so big and rich I didn't need a lot to satisfy my chocolate cravings) to go for home. We also got some more of the delicious Salt of the Earth bread, a few tasty cheeses from local Evergreen Lane creamery, and a chocolate bar or two. Staff here is so pleasant and lovely. Conversation flows easily and they're very helpful should you need any assistance. Grateful for a fantastic spot like this in town to hit on our way home!

Used to come here at least 2 to 3 times a month, and also post on FB how great their sandwiches(muffuletta especially). But after my last experience there.... I realized they changed their menu and ingredients(cheaper quality/loaf meats), from quality Italian meats to lunch meat loaf. Charging $4 more for a muffuletta. $11-$15 They also didn't/forgot to put any sauce, as it had previously came with a lemon aioli. It's unfortunate they made these changes, this used to be a favorite stop for lunch. Hopefully Isabells opens back up with the same great quality as I've had before...

Scrumptious sandwiches!! Fresh & delicious ingredients. Call ahead & Order early as their wait time can be 45mins to 1hr for walkins.

Everything at Farmhouse is delicious! All of the sandwiches we have tried have been phenomenal. My son is so in love with the Cubano he won't try anything else. I love the Turkey Club, Bellybuster and others. They also have soups and multiple salads prepared and ready for purchase. The Kale Caesar is my favorite while my mom is a huge fan of their chicken salad. They have a large variety of baked goods from cookies, to bars and cakes. Farmhouse also has a gourmet food section with dips, crackers, sauces and even Sardines. They have a lovely shaded picnic area in the back of their parking lot. Currently, they are in the middle of an expansion that will greatly increase their space and add a private event room. Also, their prices are so reasonable given the quality! Everyone is always kind and helpful when placing your order. This is always one of our first stops when come to town!

The food is amazing, I love the updated seating area great ambiance! Very chill. Everyone is always friendly!

Banana chocolate chip muffin was top 3 muffins over ever had in my life. The broccoli crack, roasted brussel sprouts and sandwiches were all delicious

Came here for some farm fresh food. They're pretty busy so it took 30 min to get our food and the line for the one restroom is long. But if you check in you get a free cookie you can enjoy while you wait! Pastrami - meat is super thinly sliced, bread is really crunchy, and all the flavors worked well together. Also didn't feel terrible after eating Raw milk - so rich like drinking butter Monster cookie - like a Frankenstein cookie, some parts tasted like pb, some chocolate chip, some m&m. Really tasty especially with milk

I wasn't expecting this place to be as nice as it is, but was pleasantly surprised to find a high-end deli that offered delicious sandwiches and other prepared foods, such as salads and individually packaged entrees. They also seem to have a great selection of quality snacks. On top of that, their service was fantastic - I was seriously impressed by their efficiency and professionalism. I really wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood at home - I would be there every week!

The rosemary ham breakfast sandwich on gluten free bread was delicious! We went there every morning for breakfast while on vacation.

What a great place! We stopped in with friends to pick up sandwiches for a picnic lunch and already are planning our next visit! I chose the Chicken Salad sandwich (Otto's chicken, fresh tarragon, granny smith apples, mayonnaise, toasted almonds, fresh-baked croissant) which was absolutely delicious! Chocked with white meat chicken, very light mayo, the perfect sweet and crunch of the Granny Smith apple bits - all on a very fresh and buttery croissant - was fabulous! My husband went with the Pastrami sandwich (Detroit pastrami, Gruyere, coleslaw, Beaver Island dressing on deBoer's rye, grilled) and he loved it!. Being native New Yorkers, we know our pastrami, and this sandwich was a good pick, more reminiscent of a Reuben, as opposed to a traditional deli pastrami sandwich. We capped off our lunch with their fresh-baked macaroons and they were fantastic! We detected perhaps a subtle hint of lemon? They were soft on the inside, the perfect crunch around the edges, with a light drizzle of chocolate, making it perfection for our palates. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional, and they and the other patrons were all masked, respectful of distancing and limited indoor capacity, making us very comfortable during this crazy COVID time. We will undoubtedly return because there were so many items on the menu (and visible in the deli and dessert cases inside) that we can't wait to try!

We have been coming to this place for 4 years (or more), every summer when we come to the area. The food has been consistently good. Greats sandwiches and gourmet food options in the store. Highly recommend!

Great sandwiches and salad options!!! Also amazing desserts. Know that during their rush hour the sandwich line can take up to 45 mins....but just enjoy the carrot cake while you wait :)

Tasty creative food choices. My husband and I pick up the trio usually every other week mixing up the salad choices each time. When we splurge it's a piece of carrot cake to share! The new expansion is wonderful & well done. The staff is welcoming, helpful & knowledgeable. Great menu great choices!

This place is amazing! One of the best in the Saugatuck area. To start, they have an amazingly big menu full of deliciously crafted sandwiches. All of which are medium priced and quite big. 2 people could probably share most of them. Everything from their house Bánh Mì, Cubano, ham and swiss, and even grilled cheese is absolutely delicious. Not to mention their cold salads, deserts, and sides? It's amazing, they have so much delicious food here! Another great thing about this place is the very large selection of drinks and frozen goods. Just pop in and grab what you want from the freezer and fridge and pay as you leave. Also, they are pretty much takeout only. Place an order and it should be no more than 20 minutes for it to come out. Just take your food to a local park or beach, or sit on the picnic tables outside of their establishment and enjoy. If your in this area, check out this place. One more thing. They are currently taking over the rest of the building they currently occupy, maybe they will add some indoor seating? The future is bright for this place. I love it.
