The Jampot

Popular place for a reason. The monks who make the food and run the shop are very pleasant. The baked goods are delicious. We bought enough to eat as breakfast in our motel each morning while watching the sunrise. Perfect way to start the day. The Jamaican loaf does pack a punch and is tasty. The peanut butter and jelly brownie was interesting (in a good way). We haven't tried a our jams yet but are looking forward to it. All items are made with natural and/or organic ingredients.

We waited outside on the cold rain for about 10 minutes. Small likable place filled with excited folks ready to buy up all the baked goods. We bought jams, bread, muffins, brownies and pancake mix. Got gifts and some treats for ourselves. Lovely place. Line moved quickly.

Very good jams, baked goods and other things made by momks. There is a beautiful waterfall just down the street. We parked by the waterfall and walked over to The Jampot. It was very pleasant. Lots of other things to do nearby.

Got here an hour after opening. Had to my turn for about 10 mins. Everything I got was great!

Pumpkin muffins are excellent! We originally stopped here after seeing this place on tv and to pick up some jam. I bought bakery items thinking they would be average tasting but was shocked about how great they tasted! I saw in the reviews people complaining about high priced items but disagree. The muffins we bought were huge, very dense and had fruit and nuts mired in resulting in a very high quality product with high quality ingredients. Be prepared to stand in line since there are limited hours and high demand. Also check their website in advance to make sure there are no observed religious days that they are closed for.

If you’re willing to make the drive to an amazing destination in northern Michigan, this is the place. Rich in history and unique experience. Friendly staff, and amazing products coming out of this kitchen. Near by waterfalls and an amazing restaurant The Fitz! Must get the Thimbleberry jam!

This bakery was one of the highlights of our trip! It is a quaint little bakery ran by a monastery. The drive there is scenic too! The monks were very friendly and helpful. There are endless flavors of jams to choose from. We got a couple of their cakes, but their cookies were our favorite thing. I would definitely come back here. Make sure to plan ahead because they have limited hours.

So impressed with this place and it’s Monks. The jams are incredible; the baked goods- wow. The two Monks I interacted with were so incredibly kind. The flowers surrounding the building are so beautiful. Please come here expecting a very long line. It goes by quickly enough and is totally worth it. Many people come buying 6-10 jams. They happily give you a nice box to carry it all in and I was able to drive it back to the lower peninsula safely. Please also be aware of their hours before coming. I actually stayed in the peninsula for an extra day just to be able to catch them Tuesday morning. Also- the peanut butter jam brownie is one of the best baked goods I’ve ever had. A friendly note- they do also ship through their website if you live farther away.

Place run by the monks! Everything is locally sourced. I liked the smaller portions of every bakery item, so I could try a lot of things. The falls outside was also a good photogenic spot!

Very cute shop, wonderful jams, and free smells! Plan your visit accordingly- they can get busy during peak times. We got thimbleberry jam and ginger cookies, both scrumptious.

If you are within 45 mins to an hour of here, you must go. This is a pivotal UP experience that you will remember forever. Before you even enter the shop, you are greeted by the beautiful Jacob's falls. I would suggest to devour your treat as the base. excellent experience. Anything from here is going to be the best you have ever had. Muffins, jam, cake slice, literally anything. I have been here several times and will continue to share this experience whenever I am near.

Very good bakery that is run by Monks. You can find huge muffins to fruit cake to cookies to bread and jam there. We purchased a huge blueberry chocolate muffin that could be shared by 2-3 people; delicious cookies and delectably sweet jam that was the best. Cookies were great too. There is a very beautiful roadside waterfall Jacobs Falls right near Jampot that you could walk to. Anticipate a wait outdoors of around 15-20 minutes when you go. Definitely will be back for their homemade jam.

Amazing quality, worth every penny. Lines are always long, expect to wait a while (but worth it).

You know a place has great eats when the line to get in stretches outside--covid 19 aside, I'm sure this place always has a line because only about 6 people can comfortable fit in this itty bitty building! Patrons help themselves to jars of monk-made jams, fresh baked fruit breads, pastries, while behind the kitchen door you can see the monks baking away! And thank God the monks have a credit card reader because we bought $84 worth of jam and cookies! We LOVED the brownie and cookies we snagged; cannot wait to sample the thimbleberry jam (a U.P. delicacy!) when we get home!! Also, excited to share our finds with friends back home!

This place is a huge attraction! We waited in line to get inside to shop. There were about 18 people ahead of us. They have an amazing selection of homemade jams and wonderful bakery items. I bought their Hermit cookies and several varieties of jam. Yummy cookie recipe with chocolate chips, raisins, nuts and spices. I think you can order online, but it was a fun stop on our way to Copper Harbor. Be sure to check out Jacob Falls next to the Jampot.

Best bakery in the UP. I wish the line wasn't so long but it's worth the wait. The only thing better than the muffins was the waterfall.

The drive to the tiny shop was beautiful. We drove from Copper Harbor and it was like Lake Superior was our passenger. The shop was tiny, only 6 people could fit at a time. We waited for about 15 mins to get to the register. The baked goods were tasty. I haven't opened the cherry butter yet, but I'll keep you posted. Nothing is inexpensive. I didn't think it would be as it is a destination shop but I'd go again if I was in the neighborhood. I had the chocolate muffin with coffee frosting and I don't regret a morsel. ;)

When we found out about Jampot, we were so excited to take the drive and visit this wonderful little slice of heaven. Jampot is ran by Monks from the monastery on the Keweenaw peninsula. We stopped in and grabbed some delicious blackberry/raspberry jam, lemon pound cake, and blueberry drinks. We enjoyed talking to the monks and learning about this special spot. If you happen to be in the area, this place is well worth your visit. They have a nice area to enjoy your purchased treats and there is a little waterfall within walking distance. We also stopped by the monastery before heading north. It's right on the way.

I love this place. Cool waterfall next door, excellent service and a huge selection of jam. I have had several different flavors the rose hip, and the spiced pear, and lemon marmalade are my favorite. You really can't go wrong with any flavor they are all very good.

This place is a little gem out in the middle of nowhere. When my husband and I announced that we intended to travel to Copper Harbor all sorts of friends came out of the woodwork and insisted that we had to check out The Jampot. This place is not open every day (at least not now during the pandemic) so make sure that you plan your visit accordingly. The only time that we were able to go it was raining out, but I had heard so much about this place I insisted that we get in line with everyone else and wait our turn. The place is quite small so it is my guess that, pandemic or not, we would have to wait in line. After waiting about twenty minutes in the rain we finally got our turn to go inside. Along the left side of the building you will find all kinds of jellies and jams and entire fruit cakes. Individual slices of fruit cake are also available and not really knowing what was what my husband ended up choosing one that was pretty "boozy". It was good though. We also got a couple different jars of jelly, two muffins, and a half dozen cookies. The cookies were loaded with all kinds of goodies. Everything was real good, but not having a sweet tooth myself I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. My husband, on the other hand, would probably go every chance he got. I'm glad we checked this place out.

We were visiting nearby and had to go over to see the Jampot and get some things to take home. We walked in and were greeted by a very nice young Monk. We had some small talk and found out he was from a town in Kentucky that we are very familiar with. Small world. The pure natural sweet smells and aromas will overwhelm you and encourage you to stay as long as possible. We browsed around as long as we could and picked out 6 jars of jam, a jar of Honey and a couple of muffins. It is usually crowded but, we arrived early and it wasn't bad. Most of the things for sale are reasonably priced so if you are nearby make sure you stop in and fill up.

It's worth the wait. They're doing the Lords work, bottom line. Have the rest of the family visit the nearby waterfall while you wait.

After finally making it there, I honestly think the Jampot is over-hyped. I could see it being worth a trip anytime that isn't June through August, maybe. But as it was, I waited outside for 20 minutes to get into a shop the size of a decent-sized bathroom, with lots of jams except for the one I was looking for (turns out they're sold out of thimbleberry until August, and I'm assuming that's pretty normal for every summer) and baked goods that are insanely expensive. We bought a few small baked goods because I felt like at that point we had to buy SOMETHING, but the mini loaves were still like $16 so we just got a couple of small tarts and stuff. They tasted fine, but I just don't get the appeal of this place. Having it be all monks was charming, but didn't make up for how underwhelmed we were with everything else.

If you want to feed the mind and soul, you must first feed the belly with yummy Jampot jelly! A wonderful place with awesome sweets and peaceful views. Have visited numerous times and will definitely return! Rhonda Annen, Valparaiso Indiana

Great products, wonderful people! Sorry they are closing for the season, see you in the spring!

Outstanding gem in the UP. Jams, breads and other goodies are by monks. Muffins for the starters, chocolate bars for later. A jar or two of jam and a dried fruit cake for a gift. A really cool place! Our timing was perfect. Just a couple of cars in the lot when we got there and 15 minutes later, there were 30 people in line plus kids. Definitely a must stop

You must stop here if you can. We got the PB & J Brownie and a Carrot Cake Muffin.... they were literally heaven on earth. It's hard to describe the miracles that were happening in your mouth but I'll try. The "brownie" was mostly peanut butter and was embedded with chocolate chips. The jelly complemented the sweetness of the brownie and I was sad I had to split it in half. Then there's the carrot cake muffin. Wow. Frosting was smooth, creamy, and sweet and went perfectly with the cake part of the muffin, which was laced with walnuts and chocolate chips, but not overly so. Worth every stinking penny. I'm sitting here post-muffin glow contemplating driving another 3 hours round trip to go get more tomorrow.

Today was at least my 20th visit to the Jampot, as we frequented the area as a kid. They use only the freshest ingredients to produce truly quality items. There has not been one disappointment in all these years and it has been a staple when we are nearby. In fact, I am not sure there has been one trip where we missed out on a visit. The carrot cake muffins and their caramels are our favorites but we've found that you really can't go wrong with any of their baked goods, jams, or jellies. The prices may be steep to some, but again, only quality ingredients are found here and you are supporting their faith. Of course, we will be back, as we always have been.

This place is unique but extremely expensive. It's unique to find a true bakery that is run my monks. I looked around and bought one piece/slice of fruit bread. It cost $6.00 a slice! While it was good it was definitely not $6.00 a slice good. They were doing a steady business but everyone must have deeper pockets than me.

I'm feeling lazy so I'll just copy and paste my actual text to my mom instead of writing a long review. This is an actual real emotional reaction to a perfect muffin: Wish I could have teleported you a muffin earlier today. Went to famous bakery "Jam Pot" run by monks at Poorcreek monastery. Fox told them he wanted whatever was making the place smell so good, and they had just pulled out a pan of cream cheese pound cake muffins. Omg. I thought it sounded terrible, but might have been best muffin I've ever had. No joke. Not as dense as most muffins with a crisp top. Tasted a little like shortbread cookies but fluffy melt in mouthiness. Could tell they used lemon zest. I know you would have gone nuts. It was so well executed. Honestly wish there was a way to get one to you fresh. It even made my headache go away. Miracle muffins. And the monks are amazing! What a contrast to all the gimmicky food that disappoints. This place was the real deal. Great cookies and can't wait to try the jam

Love this place! I always stop when in the area both to stock up on jam and get a nice treat.

Expensive but well worth the visit. I waited a decade to get their wild thimbleberry jam. Muffins are the size of mountains. Chocolate bars and bread melt in your mouth. And the monks at the cashiers round out the ambience. A must stop on the scenic drive. Don't forget to visit the church/monastery across the street with it's unusual architecture.

After seeing this place on a Food Network show years ago (Food Finds), I knew I'd have to stop the next time I was in the area (we have family close by). It is a really tiny place--maybe an 8x12 waiting area with two sides of goodies--but they pack a lot into that small area. There were good smells as soon as you opened the door, which really draws you in and makes you want to taste something. We opted for a small loaf of bread (the large fruit loafs are $40!), a jar of jam, some caramels and truffles, jalapeno pecan bark, muffins (chocolate with chocolate frosting and chocolate with espresso frosting), and a fresh muffin the size of your head...for a total of $51! EEK! Everything is tasty, and as a once in a great while (or on vacation) treat it's an acceptable price. They only get four stars because none of the baked goods had labels OR prices on them--something that makes me crazy. There was a guy there who gave us the rundown on the stuff sitting there, but with 15 things it was hard to remember AND he didn't give prices and I hate to ask...

The Jampot is one of my absolute favorite places to visit in the UP! This unassuming cute little shop on the side of M26 is a must stop if you are in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Run by group of Monks, The Jampot is filled with wonderful and taste treats that you can tell are made with love. This place is best known for it's jams. As someone who makes homemade jams and jellies pretty often, I can definitely tell the difference in their preserves. My favorites are the Wild Thimbleberry and Wild Strawberry. The thimbleberry is a local berry that is similar to a raspberry that grows right outside of the Jampot's doors. Although their priciest jam, it is well worth the steep price tag (I believe one jar was $18 the last time I was there). In addition to their jams, The Jampot has tons of other goodies - fruit cakes, homemade truffles, muffins, etc. I have never been someone who loves fruitcake, but their boozy fruitcakes are quite delicious and packed with enough booze that I seriously feel like you could get tipsy off of one bite. In addition to their alcoholic breads, the last time I was there they had some sort of ginger, cinnamon bread without alcohol. It was seriously one of the best sweet breads I have every had in my life. The other items I have tried there have been equally delicious - melt in your mouth chocolates and truffles and huge fresh baked muffins that burst with flavor. All in all, although on the pricey side, stop in and splurge a little because all the items are well worth it!

A hidden gem you will not want to miss! I had an apricot muffin and my husband had a chocolate chocolate chip muffin with chocolate frosting (more like a cupcake, but they called it a muffin ‍). Both were super dense and absolutely delicious. We also bought raspberry-apricot jam and maple syrup that I can't wait to try! The place is also run by the Society of St. John, which makes it a unique experience.

I was here 28 years ago hope to go back this summer and get some thimbleberry jam.

This is a nice hidden gem. The jam is great and the cakes are wonderful.

Everyone should add the Jampot to their list of places while passing through the Keweenaw peninsula! I come here on my annual trip to the UP and this trip we got some jam and brownies. The brownies were even better tasting than expected -so rich in flavor. When stopping here, there is also a waterfall within walking distance from the location that should be checked out

I generally don't bother with out-of-state reviews, but this place deserves to be an exception. Although I don't live in the UP, I'm related to pretty much every other person you meet between Marquette and Wakefield. I spent many many summers there learning the important things in life: how to drive a Boston Whaler, how to clean a walleye, the importance of pronouncing it SOW-na and not SAW-na, and that the best way to judge a man is by the draw weight of his bow. One of the nice things about having an army of relatives in the UP is they send you stuff. Mostly pasties, venison, and jam. When I was a kid I always thought it was weird that other kids in the neighborhood didn't have a freezer full of venison and they had never heard of boysenberries. Uncle Roy made amazing jam in equally amazing volume. When age started to finally catch up with Roy and his jam output decreased, I simply couldn't find an acceptable replacement. I honestly went a few years without eating jam as a result (at this point, every good Finn reading this asks, "But what did you put on your pannukakku??") Enter jam from monks. First, the obvious benefit: you get to tell people you get your jam from monks. If you can do this in a way that doesn't make you sound like a jackass, it's a fun conversation starter. You can even throw in little (true) details like, "A lot of the fruit is picked by monks who have taken a vow of silence." You're buying your jam from monks--there's no way to come out of this conversation without seeming a little weird, so you might as well own it. The other obvious benefit: this is simply awesome jam. I was unknowingly spoiled as a child when it comes to jam and, as a result, I'm ridiculously picky. When Belle and I started dating, she thought the entire jam from monks thing was a little weird. But then I made her breakfast with their golden raspberry jam and she was a convert (pardon the pun). Even the top shelf stuff you find in most stores nowadays is too sweet and the actual flavor the fruit is muddled. This jam actually tastes like jam should taste--which is to say, like fruit, not sugar. As is often the case, the slightly more expensive stuff is the stuff you really want--thimbleberry, wild strawberry, wild blueberry, the raspberry trio are all standouts. Their baked goods are also great and the physical store is worth a visit (the Keweenaw peninsula is a beautiful little corner of America that no one has heard of), but this review is about the jam, which can be mail ordered, even if you end up on a slightly weird mailing list. It's still totally worth it.

In one of the most remote and beautiful parts of the Michigan UP, as you head down the twisting road that leads to Copper Harbor, you come across a church that seems out of place for the forest terrain. Built in a Byzantine architectural style, it does not resemble the churches or cathedrals we are accustomed to seeing. This is the Holy Transfiguration Skete, run by a group of monks. Across the road is the Jampot, a little bakery that sells their handiwork - custom jams, preserves and baked goods. Their shop works year-round and sells products online all over the country. However, their storefront is open during the summer tourism season. The Jampot monks produce unusual jams like the prized thimbleberry - like a raspberry but much larger, native to the Michigan UP. They harvest the berries, process them and sell the products of their labor. I love their cookies and breads they offer. Around these parts, it's the best you can find. And if you long for the great jams, you can order a jar - or a complete set of jams - online. Pretty high-tech for a group of deeply religious monks.

The jampot used to seem to us like an abandoned building. It seemed to be closed most of the time, and I think we were kind of scared to even stop by worrying it was a front for some sort of insane criminal. Eventually we noticed more and more traffic going into the Jampot, and we decided to stop and take a look. This might have been ten or even fifteen years ago. Now we stop by every year. The baked goods are really great, particularly (in order) the cookies (all types), the spice loafs, the German chocolate muffins, and the peanut butter jam squares (I'm sure that's not their official name). The jams are also very good, but you have to pick your spots because they are on the pricey side. Good thimbleberry jam can be had elsewhere in the UP for a lower price, but the cheapest stuff tends to be crummy. If you don't know of another good source you might as well buy here. The wild strawberry is also expensive but really good. I would say take a chance on one of the more unusual berries, and don't buy blueberry or strawberry jam unless the wild stuff is available and you're willing to pay a premium. Be sure to ask which ones are made from local fruits. It makes a difference. The monks are very nice, and have raised a lot of money. From humble beginnings sprang the Eastern Orthodox onion dome that now peaks out over the woods as a beautiful architectural addition to the remote lakefront near Eagle Harbor. Every year a trunkload of purchases is our contribution, much of which I bring back home with me to New York. If I lived in the UP, I'm sure the Jampot would be a rather more expensive and satisfying habit.

Nothing short of perfection. My favorite is the seedless red raspberry jam. I get it a case at a time. Once you've had their jams the store bought stuff tastes like plastic. The baked goods are awesome as well. The carrot cake muffins and chocolate are delicious. New favorite this year is the cinnamon breakfast bread. WOW!! You won't believe how good it is. I went back 2 days later and bought 4 more to take home.

Oh My! The sweet delicious smell of bakery wafting through the Upper Peninsula woods draws you in. At a tiny roadside shack, monks of the Society of St. John order bake delectable treats and can jellies and jams. Upon walking in, there's a wall of jams and jellies ranging from the usual fare like grape and strawberry jellies. Then, there's some different ones like dandelion, chablis wine, and jalapeno jellies. One of our bikers recommends the jalapeno jelly and stocked up with a case full. I purchased a grape jelly for my husband and another highly recommended item: the apple butter. Now that I got the wall of jams and jellies out of the way, they have such heavenly baked goods (see what I did there!). All of their treats delighted the senses and looked yummy. Since most of the baked goods aren't labeled, it's a point and ask sort of thing. My husband got a tasty cream cheese poundcake muffin. I got a peanut butter chocolate chip blondie with a ribbon of jam running through it. These treats were as good as they sound. If you're in the UP, you should take a mandatory stop to the Jampot for jams and treats.

This is one far away bakery that should not be missed. The monks opened the bakery to make money for their church, and I think their success was a bit of a surprise. The money they have raised helped to build their amazingly beautiful church building. My favorite is the almond cookies. Don't bother with the jam, as it's overpriced.

We bought the PB&J brownie, carrot cake muffin and COOKIES! Their oatmeal, nut, chocolate, etc. cookies are absolutely amazing!!! We also enjoyed the chocolate chip as well. The PB&J Brownie, also amazing. We would not buy the carrot cake muffin again. It had a strong Crisco taste and too many chunks of fruit in it for us. If I want all those chunks of fruit in my cake, I would buy a fruit cake. We would go back but stick with brownies and cookies.

They have many different kinds of Jams and sweets. We bought Dandelion Jelly and it is very good. I think the prices are pretty high, but it is a small local place. We bought a bunch of their caramels which were wonderful! Again they were prices at $2.00 each for one individually wrapped caramel 2" x 1" size. We also thought it was strange because although there was a monk collecting the money in the back there were two people who looked like husband and wife cooking and baking and really producing the items that they were selling. I contemplated between 3 and four stars but ultimately went with 4 because it was a cute place that was local and I have never seen Dandelion Jelly and a few of the other offering before. Plus the setting is very beautiful!

Man... the goodness of their jams is beyond words. We got two cases of this liquid gold in San Diego from our family in Michigan. My wife has taken to baking bread and coupled with this jam I expect to end up something similar to Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and Chocolate factory. Thank you wonderful Monks!! I hope to come visit some day!

I discovered the Jampot and these industrious, friendly men over 25 years ago. Their business, coupled with their devotion, is so unique and very much worth the trip. A nice ride up 41 to the village of Phoenix (turn left on 26) takes you along the beautiful Lake Superior shore. Everything they make is wonderful and all proceeds go to their beautiful mission of doing God's work. Their jams, cakes and cookies are so good, and they make the best caramels! Be sure to see Jacob Falls right next door!

I was on vacation in the UP and saw the gold dome and thought what is that.... stopped at the bakery , the monk there was so nice and fun to talk to . I bought a huge muffin that must have weighed 2lbs. And the best cherry jam I've ever had. If I ever get back up here I'm stopping again . Make sure you bring a Thermos of coffee they don't have any ....it makes the monks jittery . Also the Ginger bread pancake mix is heavenly..

If you're visiting the Keweenaw, do yourself a favor and stop in at the Jampot for the best treats in the UP! It's the one spot that I always visit when I come to Eagle River.

Beautiful location, next to waterfall and gorgeous fall colors. We waited in line for twenty minutes, and would have waited longer. Best cookies ever, we bought enough to freeze for later. Other baked goods were also wonderful, but make sure you also buy plenty of cookies.

Nestled alongside a scenic highway and a waterfall in the U.P., the Jampot is a gem. Good, honest baking, simple recipes and ingredients. The head (?) monk looks like he came straight out of central casting (think Friar Tuck in the Kevin Costner version of Robin Hood, but older), and his gentle humor makes the experience even more enjoyable. The other monks are also very interesting; some of them have a shitload of tattoos, which makes me very curious about their lives before they chose to dedicate themselves to...whatever it is monks do. All in all, a great place to stop and pick up some $12 jam and a couple loaves of $6 bread for a good cause.

if you ever find yourself this far up the Keweenaw peninsula don't question what possessed you to travel so far away from cell service/malls/civilization -- go to the jampot. It is baked goods and jam nirvana, complete with monks and everything. Yeah you're dropping like $12 or something on jam, but it's thimbleberry! and you can't find it anywhere else. Oh and the carrot cake cupcake and brownie I had were amazing, too.

Incredible and amazing! We went to the Jampot last week on the way home from the Keewenaw. We bought some of their cashew soft caramels, 4 kinds of fruitcake, a couple of jams and preserves and some cashew brittle. The cashew soft caramel was melt in your mouth oh so good! My husband especially enjoyed the cashew brittle. I waited till we arrived home to sample the fruitcakes, we tried the traditional that is soaked in rum, oh wow!!!! Party in your mouth! I will be ordering this for Christmas! I have yet to sample the abbey cake, lemon pound and other flavor, but I'm certain they'll be wonderful! The prices are as follows: 3 lb fruitcake loaf is $50. The smaller sizes are $15. The cashew brittle was $15. The soft caramels were $1/each and the jams ranged in prices from$7-12. Prices are high, quality is excellent and you get a good feeling supporting the ministry of the order of Monks that run this establishment. Highly recommended!

Good grief this place lures you in and before you know it, you've dropped $60 on a few jars of jam, a coffee cake and a few muffins. But OMG it's totally worth it. Because the monks know what they're doing, using fresh and real ingredients to create treats like jalapeno caramel (fire dance of delicious in your mouth), carrot cake muffin (best carrot cake I've had) and more. I stocked up on the thimbleberry jam they make since thimbleberries don't grow where I live. Still need to figure out what a thimbleberry tastes like and how they differ from blackberries and raspberries, but that's for another forum. Hey, there are like five places to visit when you've made it this far up the Keweenaw Peninsula. Make this one of them.

Loved this little place. The monks are super friendly and accommodating. We arrived well after 5pm and they stayed open until after the last customers left. They have a huge variety of interesting jams, jellies, baked goods, chocolate, and history...which they will be happy to tell you. The thimbleberry jam is what they are known for. They also suggested we walk down to the monastery (300ft) and go through their beautiful garden. They have done a great job and I love spending money where people care.

This place is just awesome! Anytime we take a trip to copper harbor we make a mandatory stop here to stock up on the amazing jams and baked goods! The monks are always so friendly and helpful every time we go, unique place in the keewenaw with amazing jams and goodies!

This little popular place is a must-visit for tourists to the Keewanaw peninsula. For me, hearing about this place was THE reason I went to vacation in the Keewanaw peninsula at all. The Jampot fulfilled all my expectations. It's a peculiar outlet run by my monks. There was a line when I visited. I stocked on the jams and pound cakes. Already tried two cakes, I think the dry fruit cake is the best and simply delicious, while the abbey cake is too heavy on bourbon whiskey. I haven't tried the jams yet.
