Folgarelli's - Traverse City. Imported food market, and deli - so take out, but in the summer they have a little patio with tables. Does some of the best sandwiches I've had. A luch time thing.
Moomers. Ice cream joint, in a small village somewhere to the west of Traverse city. www.moomers.com On a dairy farm, the cows that produce the milk in the ice cream are in a field right next door. One of those off-the-beaten-path unique places.

What kind of bakery - birthday cakes or pastries? And in Detroit-proper, or extending to the suburbs?
In Detroit, I would say that Astoria Bakery in Greektown is the best bet.
I just ate at Schuler's for the first time last Sunday night. We were driving from Ann Arbor to Illinois after my husband's graduation and decided to give it a try. I was impressed. We had a really good meal, with excellent service. It's nothing fancy food-wise, and pricier than I expected for a place that has billboards on the highway, but we were happy we stopped.

Schuler's has excellent food. Great prime rib, and a Michigan Cherry Cobbler that will make you and your cardiologist moan (for different reasons).

I'll pile on the food:
Star Deli in Southfield for amazing tuna fish
Steve's Deli in Bloomfield Twp for hot Pastrami
Loui's Pizza in Madison Hts for great pizza and the "Loui's special" sandwich
Millers Bar -another vote for their burger.
Checker Bar downtown Detroit-another great burger
Cameron's Steakhouse in Birminham for, yes, steaks.
Roma cafe in Eastern Market for great Italian.
and last, but not least:
The Lark in West Bloomfield-for the finest dining in the area. And prices to match!

Best burger in the D
Red Coat Tavern on Woodward between 13 and 14 mile in Royal Oak. Red building on the East side of Woodward.
Load the burger up with whatever you want, but make sure to order the Piedmontese Beef - it's well worth the coin. Also make sure to order a side of the burger dipping sauce.
Bring sunglasses - no windows in the place, and if you walk out on a sunny day you'll blind yourself.

Just had a Miller's burger yesterday for lunch, damn good and they actually cook it to one's specifications, in my case a medium rare, which many places seem unwilling to do. Details: http://www.millersbar.com/

I also love the deep dish pizza at Pizza Papalis in downtown ("Greektown") Detroit.

My favorite restaurant anywhere is Angelo's in Ann Arbor -- amazing sandwiches on thick, thick slices of fresh homemade bread, or homemade raisin bread with breakfast. Plus, fish and chips on Friday, and half the price of Zingerman's!
