The Uglyfish Baking Co. — Restaurant in McMillan Township

If you're traveling in the U.P. and you find yourself in between Grand Marais and Crisp Point, I suggest checking out The Uglyfish Baking Co., outside of Newberry near Deer Park.

I’ve never had a cookie quite like the frosted root beer. Thank you Uglyfish for the...

The Uglyfish Baking Company is a hidden gem on CR-407. It's run out of an airstream and has delicious baked goods, ice cream, food, fun merchandise and even a resident author! We come to Muskallonge Lake every summer and this place is a welcome addition. I love to take a loaf of sourdough or the jalapeno cheese onion buns back to the lake house to supplement meals. Also the cookies, muffins etc. are excellent. The monster cookies and the pumpkin chocolate chip are my favorite. My husband loves the giant blueberry muffins. It's made from scratch...
