I'm pretty sure that this is the original shop. Of course you don't have to go to the original store, but it's a nice place to see and they have more things I think. Cherry Republic is awesome! And I love that they're selling it in regular grocery stores now! Also I love the salsa!
Drove two and half hours to visit Glen Arbor and Cherry Republic. I ate at their cafe while there. The style is wait in line to place your order then have your food delivered to your table. I ordered their "famous" chicken salad on a bed of greens. It was disappointing in that there were not enough cherries on it and far too many cherry tomatoes. Nice sweet grape tomatoes would have made for a better all around choice along with more cherries.
The pie and ice cream was superb.
I love the Cherry Republic and their products, the store at Glen Arbor is the best of them all. Beautiful setting great cafe. Looking forward to our next visit.
If you love cherries, this is the place to go. So many products that taste fantastic. And their wines are incredible. We left with a variety of items and they ship. Awesome place.
The free samples of salsas, sauces, jams, sodas, ciders, dried cherries, and candies were amazing! The staff was nice enough to even get me a sample of the green cherry salsa that they had for sale but not as a sample. We purchased the Hot Cherry Salsa for us and the Original as a gift, which they gift boxed for free! Also got a delicious cherry soda. Lovely little group of stores you can meander between sampling and shopping. It's a must stop for anyone but especially the cherry lovers like me!
Such a great place to explore. Bike rents and park trails were super fun for the family. Art's Tavern has amazing burgers. Cherry Republic was awesome! My preteen and teen had a blast sampling food and side's. My boyfriend and I did wine tasting at Cherry Republic. YUMMY! BEACH WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Love Cherry Republic! Homemade Ice cream, chocolate, wine and candy! We will definitely be coming back!
Love this place and what they do with cherries. It's not just pies/dessert. But savory dishes too. The cherry salsa, and cherry BBQ sauces are fantastic. And my pups love the cherry woof whomper treats as well!
They have a beautiful walk thru garden that brings you to a wonderful shop full of all things cherry sauces,candy and salsa yumm!
Love this place! We visit every time we come here. Great locally sourced cherry products, food, wine and lots more! Fun for the whole family.
Good Michigan product; but don't trust your business gifts to them. Don't let their warehouse and logistics team make you and your business look like an idiot like they did to me.
I've been doing business with Cherry Republic since 2012 and have spent thousands with them. I've always sent my clients "Super Seven" (one of the most expensive packages). I've been visiting Glen Arbor since a child and watched this business grow.
A client mentioned to me in 2014 how they loved the "turtle chocolates" and "sausage" they received. Someone at Cherry Republic charged me for a super seven but replaced it with another package without letting me know. Embarrassed; I called customer service and they gave me a $50 gift card to remedy the situationok that was nice; I'll let it slide.
In 2016, it was the last straw. I sent the business gifts Excel sheet filled out properly as usual mid-November 2016. In December I received a photo from a client asking if they had received the intended gift? They received a package with another clients holiday message in it. The result of this was that it let that particular customer know who else I was doing business with and made my business look incompetent.
Knowing the rest of the packages were in shipment to all of my other clients I had to damage control the rest of them and let them all know they may receive messages addressed to other clients; again making my business look incompetent.
Frantic; I tried to contact Cherry Republic business gifts. They send out no shipping information to businesses; so you have no way of tracking shipments. It was after 5pm; but I sent them an e-mail anyway. The next day, it was nearing 9am without hearing anything from them so I called. Was told they will check the warehouse. Heard back from them at 10:30am to 11:00am..surprise most of the other shipments had already been delivered at that time except one. I told them to stop the shipment; ensure the message in it was correct, then re-ship it. The pain still doesn't stop there.
The particular business this package was supposed to go to has two offices. I sent one super seven to each office. The one in-route package was to a west coast office. As far as I know Cherry Republic stopped this package, ensured it was correct and sent it on. Good job there.
Mysteriously I get contacted by the west coast office again a week later letting me know they received a second shipment. As far as we both know the mid-US office never received a shipment to begin withso my west coast client ships the holiday gift themselves to their mid-US office.
Complete incompetence all around. I've worked for years to build a small contracting business and I would have been better off to not send anything through Cherry Republic this year. If this has happened to me 2x in the last four years I'm confident it is happening to other people as well.
P.S. Their print advertising is also overly aggressive. I don't need six to eight brochures sent to two different addresses every year showcasing the same products over and over again.
