Mission Proper

Haphazard, discombobulated customer interface. They want to be too much, but they’re not doing any of it consistently well. We’ve been 3 times; our 1st visit we waited 2 hours for a pizza. Then, the cheese tasted vegan, which means like a mayonnaise flavor. It was gross!
2nd visit, just coffee drinks and they were decently made. 3rd visit, today, brunch was a lot of work! The burrito was mostly rice with a small smattering of eggs. Peach French toast was just ok- nothing special. How about a dollop of fresh made whip cream?I had to send my mocha back to be remade- the milk was completely scalded and they left out the Chocolate. The remake was proper temp, but not properly balanced; it was mostly milk. At this price point, baristas should be well trained to not scald milk and ingredients should be measured.
The wait was long to order, long to receive food and we were underwhelmed.
The concept is big, but they seem to lack capability to execute all of it at once.
We need a place like this, especially on OMP., but it will be a long while before we try Mission Proper again.

I love the modern vibe here. The Turkey BLT sandwich was FANTASTIC and I'm not even a sandwich person. I love that they have liquor and specialty cocktails. An establishment like this is a great addition to the area!

While visiting friends in Traverse City we stopped in to Mission Proper for a drink. I was instantly impressed with the exquisite decor, friendly staff, amazing coffee, beautiful outdoor seating area and everything in between. Our bartender, Vince, was fantastic. He was super attentive and answered all our questions about the menu and venue. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Inside and outside spaces both were gorgeous and relaxing. We enjoyed the cake, buns, and coffee then lounged on the patio and played jenga and cornhole. These are the kinds of places we seek out as a family when passing through but I would love a place like this near home too. Also loved the art shop Tinker and found some great things. There was plenty of room here mid-morning but I imagine they will get more busy as word gets out.
