That French Place is truly one of our favorite stops whenever we're in Charlevoix! Everything we've tried has been incredible--from the crepes and soufflés to the biscuits, quiche, and so many of the pastries. You really can't go wrong! The service is just as wonderful as the food. Even when they are crazy busy, they have the sweetest woman helping direct everyone and keeping things organized and moving smoothly. It's such a small touch, but it says a lot about how much they care about the experience. Delicious food, wonderful people, and consistently great every time we visit. If you're in Charlevoix, That French Place is a must! read more

We're big fans of crepes, so you can imagine how excited we were to find this little gem! They make homemade caramel (YUM!). We tried their apple and caramel crepe and their banana and caramel crepe. Both DELISH! I also had their chai latte and followed the directions of the barista to let the chai steep a minute before tasting...mmmmm. Perfection! We'll definitely be putting this place on our rotation for yummy eats. Next on our list to try are their savory crepes. read more

Drip coffee is average but we had a savory crepe and it was delicious! Made in the traditional way we were used to when living in the Netherlands, it was truly amazing. Lots of other French pastries that looked well made. Def a spot to hit for breakfast or lunch! read more

We always look forward to having crepes for lunch when we visit Charlevoix. Our recent visit did not disappoint. This time, we decided to give the cinnamon roll a try. Wow! So good!! Highly recommend! read more

Super yummy!! The ham, egg, & Swiss crepe (buckwheat) was delicious, if anything I would've liked a little more egg. The iced coffee was yummy, and big perk that they use coffee iced cubes so your drink doesn't really taste like melted water. Also opted for a cinnamon roll, which was unique because it was crunchy, and it's smaller but the perfect portion of sweetness! A little under $25 with tip, for the roll, iced latte and crepe. Smaller but super cute vibes and has outdoor seating! read more

The nutella crepe is a magnificent splurge - more than worth whatever wait is needed. The service here is friendly and efficient, and the sweets and pastries are top-notch. Easy to pop into the bookstore next door while waiting for a steaming hot and perfectly executed crepe! read more

Great little place. Stopped in and picked up a couple of bacon egg soufflés, cinnamon rolls and croissants. Everything was great. So great in fact that the next day we were all yearning for another cinnamon rolls. Fantastic place. read more

Delicious. Had the bacon/egg/cheese with normal crepe. It was really nice and savory with a sweetness from the crepe. My wife has the Nutella and banana. Heads up it is hard to eat without a fork and knife. Get ready to get some of that yummy Nutella on you hands and face. But all pure fun. Enjoy a nice seat by the street. I love that they only change $.50 for a bottled water. read more

Adorable storefront in downtown Charlevoix recommended by a friend! As I walked in, I was immediately hit with the delicious and comforting smells of baked goods aka butter. Their laminates (croissants, kouign amann, etc) are fairly reasonably priced but I was feeling the buttery shortbread-like stuff so I picked the Breton Cake (like a cross between a shortbread and poundcake)! It was delish - the perfectly dense puck was exactly as described and hit the spot. Would be great in the afternoon with some espresso! I also ordered a buckwheat crepe - with spinach and mushroom. Couple of stand out things: 1) the custom packaging is so smart! You rip along the perforated edges as you ear so you can hold it 2) they really think about the textures - I was worried that the spinach would make it super soggy but I could see that they chopped it up finely and sautéed it. Really like the buckwheat over a regular all purpose flour crepes! Saving the best for last - coffee ice cubes!!!!! Apparently they don't have regular ice cubes. So I had to get an iced beverage. Ordered an iced chai for a dirty chai situation. There's some tables out front but get your crepe & eat it marina-front! read more

This was my serving time here and it was even better than the first time. They've updated the inside and it's so cute! We had snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies, cappuccino, iced chai, and iced coffee. Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic! read more

Food. We arrived just before it closed, and so the offerings were limited to few baked items on display. So we only had the Ted Lasso shortbread. AH-mazing: crisp, buttery, good balance of sweetness. Funny how simple ingredients ingredients can blow you away.... Maybe it is the presentation and packaging? Or. Quality ingredients? C'mon... it's name is "THAT French Place". Service and ambiance. Want to turn off customers? Give an annoyed vibe about half hour before closing and say, "Can I help you find something?", especially when you have a few items left on display in your VERY small bakery with a couple bistro tables. And, turn up the AC to freeze people out. Parking and things of note. Street parking. Overall, underwhelmed except for the shortbread. read more

Finally made it inside because of no line. Now I understand why there is always a line. Great service, great coffee (super smooth latte) and a delicious crepe. The French Pace may be the reason to wake up so early while on vacation! read more

This place is amazing! They had so many choices and I LOVED the crepe I got, Nutella and strawberry jam! They even had gluten free (and dairy free) options for my daughter and she LOVED hers as well. Would highly recommend if you are in downtown Charlevoix! read more

A nice location in Charlevoix to order up delicious crepes and cappuccino or coffee for take out to the bay park steps away watching the ship sailing to the island under the raised bridge on a beautiful fall day. We especially loved the banana/Nutella and Apple cinnamon crepes, with a side of cinnamon muffin! Excellent food and service! read more

My wife and I ordered the Spinach, Mushroom, Feta Crepes. It had waaaaay too much spinach on it. Made the crepe very Sogge. The idea of this place is cool to be making crepes in America but unfortunately the taste and flavor is not there(tastes nothing like a real French crepe). Service toke a while as well considering there was only 2 people working at peak hours on a Saturday. Ambiance was cool. Felt very French. read more

Walking around downtown Charlevoix on a chilly, rainy day and I saw this place and was intrigued! I had just eaten a meal so I didn't go for a crepe here like I normally would have (even though they looked amazing) but I did desperately needed coffee so that was on the agenda. I ordered a latte and also picked up a few baked goods to try later, some Madelines and another kind of cake/cookie thing that I'm blanking on the name but it was SO GOOD. As I was waiting for my drink I chatted with the fella who I believe was the owner and a nicer guy you'll never meet! Truly so warm and friendly. You should pop in if only to meet this guy. So great! As I mentioned it was unseasonably cold so I didn't go for an ice cream either but their offerings are super unique, including a morel mushroom variety as well as champagne and chamomile, strawberry sichuan, and pumpkin garam masala. But if you're not into more adventurous flavor combos they do have traditional flavors like pistachio, lemon, chocolate and more. Definitely adding this to my "must visit" list every time I'm in the area. But next time I'll be sure to come hungrier to enjoy a crepe! read more

Very good pastries!!! Tried three different things and all of them were excellent!!!!

Amazing! Perfectly cooked Fuji apples contributed to a delectable cinnamon apple crepe for me, while my partner devoured an "absolutely scrumptious, top-notch" cinnamon, sugar crêpe. Brian was happy to share stories about the shop's history, and we were even able to meet 13wk old puppy Midge! read more

Such a wonderful find in beautiful Charlevoix Michigan. The crepes are outstanding with just the right variety to choose from. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The outside decorations make you feel like you are somewhere special. Highly recommend!! read more

Delicious cookies, and quiche The only suggestion I make is the two people were making the crêpes that are visible to the consumers online. Are not wearing gloves. A little unappetizing, watching them, use their bare hands to put ham and cheese into the crêpes.. A lot of people were talking about this online just a suggestion for the future read more

That French Place was so delicious! My family and I were greeted right as we entered the building with welcoming smiles! We each tried a different crepe and drink and they were all well above our expectations. If you are in town it's definitely a must try! read more

Some of the best crepes I've had. Good service and attention to detail. Could improve on speed. It was a winter day and getting crepes for my big family was slow going but they were with the wait. read more

Honestly felt pretty overhyped. We ordered online and were told 20 minutes to get our crepes. Could not order any bakery items online - yet they had plenty there - so they don't care to update the online ordering system. Order ended up taking about 50 minutes to be ready... and they never notified us it was ready, despite saying they would. The system is only as good it works in practice, and it really does not work well for this place. Crepe with nutella and banana was fine, but it would have needed to be memorable to make me forgive the bad service up-front. It was not memorable. The iced coffees were really quite bad. A disappointment for the rave reviews we had heard. read more

Delicious take out crepes. We had the spinach and mushrooms with Swiss cheese. It was a nice sized portion just right for lunch. There's a little park area nearby where you can watch the boats and drawbridge. read more

We were in Charlevoix for the 4th holiday this year, in the middle of the pandemic, and these ladies are handling the challenges with hustle and great service! You cannot enter. They have converted the front door to a walk up order with contactless payment. (Credit card swipe outside for you to do it). They had , and seem to always have, a little crowd awaiting their turn and they move those orders quite quickly. (Crepes are not a super fast food to make so that's not easy) We ordered a ham/cheese and an egg/cheese and both were terrific. read more

The owners are amazing. Came here in January and they remembered my son's name when we came in the second time. The crepes were delicious (we first got a sweet, then came back for a savory). The baked goods looked amazing too but get there early because they sell out! You must visit!! read more

Drip coffee was passable. Breton cake was pretty good. I would have tried the crepes but didn't want to wait.

For a recent breakfast in the go in Charlevoix, That French Place proved to be the perfect spot. After checking out of my bnb, I wanted something for the road that wasn't just the granola bar or apple that my bed and breakfast had provided. A quick Yelp search turned up That French Place, which was quite close to my location and had good reviews. A quick stop by the windows revealed some tasty-looking pastries, which sealed the deal. I placed my order for an almond croissant at one window, and waited a few minutes until it was delivered at another (pandemic flow). It was a drizzly morning, but I found a nearby bench under an awning and pulled out my croissant. That French Place must be incorporating this American style to their food. I'm used to an almond croissant with a bit of almond paste inside and some slivered almonds on top. This was more like a plain croissant slathered in a brown sugar almond flavored crust/frosting with a bunch of slivered almonds over the whole thing. While it was quite tasty, it wasn't as authentic as I had hoped and actually left me wanting to brush my teeth from the sugar! Still, I could tell that it was fresh and made with good ingredients. It's a solid choice for a fast breakfast and one I would return to, maybe just for a plain croissant next time! read more

The absolute best cinnamon roll I've ever eaten. The coffee is delic too! Very friendly staff.

Hate to edit my review because I had such a wonderful experience a few days ago!! Which is why I desperately wanted to stop by once more on the way out of town. We were in a hurry so I placed my order through their online system, hoping it would be ready by the time we arrived. My husband stood in the looooong line to pick up and order his pastry. I thought for sure by the time he got to the front (20 minutes) they would be ready. No. She told him it wouldn't be for another 30 minutes?! She said she would try to get our two crepes to the front of the line, however, the wait continued. I took note of customers walking, standing in line and ordering. Shockingly, I saw them walk out with crepes as I continued to wait! Not right. Overall, I waited over 45 minutes! I think online ordering is a bit too sophisticated for a small shop like this. They are incredibly popular but it's not right to make mobile orders wait so much longer- if I had known I wouldn't have done it. Coffee was a disappointment today, as well. Very watery! Hopefully they can be receptive to my feedback because they do have great crepes! read more

Good crepes! The service was ok. Had to wait too long for my food, but the staff were friendly. Eating outside was nice in the summer.

I had the spinach mushroom feta quiche and it was one of the best slices of quiche I have ever had in my life. The coffee was also good and the cashier was super friendly. You get your food at the counter and take it to go or to a sidewalk table. Eating outdoors was a bit loud due to being a very nice day during peak tourist season but that's ok! read more

Adorable little café. Stopped for breakfast on a ride and had the best quiche I've probably had ever in my life, and was pleasantly surprised when my chai came out as a steeped tea and not mixed from concentrate. Made a point of stopping in again to try their signature crepes and again was not disappointed. Both the savory and the sweet were delicious, and again we were pleasantly surprised that the ice in the iced coffee was made from coffee! What a nice touch. Sets a new bar for five stars. Brava! read more

Wow... That French Place is a fabulous, five-star, (local) find! On a recent morning spent in Charlevoix with my family and some friends, we happened upon TFP on our stroll... perfect timing as we were all a bit hungry for a snack. We shared a couple of butter and sugar crepes that were to die for, as well as a slice of delicious quiche. My husband and friend also enjoyed their coffee and a smoothie. The storefront is small but worth a wait if you encounter one as we did... Sit outside and people-watch and then enjoy your crêpes on-site or take advantage of the "crêpe cones" in which they are served and eat as you stroll through town! Note: they are served hot, so you may need to allow your crepe to cool a bit before digging in. Additional reasons to visit That French Place: friendly, fast-casual service, a clean bathroom for patrons, and wi-fi. read more
