Shipwreck Cafe
Steve and Jennifer Nowicki opened Shipwreck Cafe in June of 2017. They wanted to bring a new, alternative dining choice to Empire, the Gateway to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Together with their daughters, Hannah (18) and Rebecca (15), they are proud of the reputation they are building of delicious food, in a friendly family atmosphere.

The Nowickis did indeed put everything into one basket. Shipwreck Café is a passionate and ambitious undertaking. The Nowickis raise their own chickens, make their own bread, rolls, muffins and cookies, and the ingredients in their soup, salad and sandwiches are fresh and of a high quality. Customers rave online about the homemade pretzel bread and the “three brothers sandwich.”
