Those driving through Beaver Bay might have noticed a new sign. Owned by Heidi and Chuck Thompson, Two.One.Ate is where “Scandinavian storybook charm and American comfort food join forces”. The name Two.One.Ate comes from 218, this region’s area code, but with the 8 spelled “Ate” to represent the nature of the business.
Heidi and Chuck Thompson have “worn a lot of hats, professionally speaking,” in the past, including owning a restaurant in Naples, Florida, for six years. This restaurant led them to realize that the ice cream and restaurant business is their “best fit”. Heidi said, “For a long time we have wanted to have a seasonal business in this community. I have a lot of family here, and on a visit last fall, we found the location!”
Being an artist, Heidi has made Two.One.Ate personal with examples of her art on display, including floor tiles painted into a beautiful welcome sign, and on merchandise.
Two.One.Ate’s menu features light sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, with gluten and dairy free options served all day. Also on the menu are deli salads, heat-at-home dinners, custom and ready-to-go cakes, coffee drinks, real fruit smoothies, smoothie bowls, and made-in-house ice cream. The business is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. everyday except Tuesday, with their season running April 15th to November 15th. Heidi and Chuck’s goals are to “serve delicious food and make the best ice cream we can possibly make.”
You can find Two.One.Ate at 605 E West Towne Rd #3, Beaver Bay (previous location of Lemon Wolf Cafe).
Best wishes for Heidi, Chuck, and Two.One.Ate on their new venture. Their cozy comfort foods are sure to bring a smile to your day.
