Crepes
Jason S.

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.

Breton cake
Tiffany S.

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!

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!

Small venue. Only one bistro table. Standard bakery items: croissants, pastries, etc.

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.

Cute pastries. Mmmm

The best cinnamon roll in my life - perfect amount of crunch and moist with cream cheese icing - will never forget it!

Island ferry headed out under the raised bridge

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!

Tiny secret mouse door!

The quiche! The quiche is amazing here. Very creamy and delicious! You will want to try all of them!

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

Quaint little diner style cafe. It specializes in breakfast and they do it right! The food cooked…read moreperfectly to specifications and the portions were right. For breakfast the prices were higher than average but it is quality food. We found the service to be exceptional. Something different you don't regularly hear is the saying how they appreciate the other. It added an extra level of delight to the experience.

Here we go! Little chunky monkey here is on a road trip, which means...fooood! Let's get this first…read morereview out of the way! Looking for a breakfast place in Charlevoix, after enjoying a friend's wedding the night before, I settled on the Harbor View Cafe. Mostly because I wanted your basic, down home style breakfast. I wasn't looking for frills or fancy dishes. That's exactly what I got here. It's just a little diner amongst other shops in a strip mall setting. Because of this, there isn't a ton of seating, but oddly enough the wait isn't that long either. So far, the hole-in-wall-ness requirements checks out. But sadly, the buck kind of stops there. Here's the rub. Unless you really mess up my food, like really just somehow take my order and BOTCH it like a thrift store face lift, I'm not going to put up a fuss. Which always makes these kinds of reviews tricky, because everything was mid, at best. I ordered the 2x2x2 (two eggs, two bacons, two sausages, and potatoes), plus two silver dollar pancakes. And because I'm a little piggy, I also ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy. The eggs were good, basic scrambled, salt and pepper. I dug them. The American Potatoes were pretty good as well. The bacon was medium thickness, which I liked, because sometimes bacon is paper thin, which is hard to cook floppy, which is the only style of bacon I'll eat. And if it's too thick, then it's just ham. The sausage links were eh. Not much flavor. If sausage shape, why not sausage flavor? The pancakes were actually really good. I would go back right now just for an order of pancakes. The real drop off here were the biscuits and gravy. I love biscuits and gravy. These looked fan-tas-tic. But for some unknown reason...the gravy had a slight tang at the end. Like, the initial bite was great, but after a few chews...a little zip. It threw me off to the point where I couldn't finish them. The other thing that got a little spicy was the service speed. We sat for just under an hour before we got our food. Our drinks were brought out in shifts. Refills were almost nonexistent. This all seemed weird simply because it wasn't a large seated restaurant. I'm never looking for an out of this world experience with food unless it's highly recommended by someone or it's supposed to be a special dish or something that is regarded as the "best" or "tastiest" or "has no zing". I just really felt like this was middle of the road, could get it anywhere, didn't make my tastebuds do backflips. Pancakes 10/10 Thiccc bacon 8/10 Service 3/10 Sides of bread toasted when asked for toast 1/2

One of the few coffee spots open much of each day this is a fun stop for a cup of something…read more Once you walk in there is an open vibe with many tables and some comfy chairs as well as various spots to work if you are so inclined. You order at the counter that is directly in front of you, and then they serve the drinks at the end of the counter. Do be mindful though of what you ordered as they didn't take names and called out orders instead. If it is busy (which it was when we visited) you also have to keep on top of the orders as often people mistakenly take an order. They are gracious about making another one for you, but it helps everyone to keep your ears open for your original order. My latte was full of flavor and not too bitter but did need a bit of sugar to make it sweet enough for me. They do have alternative mills but run out quickly so if you want something on a holiday or busy weekend I suggest you go early. Their teas are also quite good as my husband can contest, so if you want to try a tea they have several good options. All in all a great coffee spot and one that can accommodate larger groups and even has some fun Boyne City souvenirs to purchase. Recommend a stop in while visiting !

Comestibles and Potables. We are dark roast people. They did not have it. NO ONE IN THIS FRIGGIN…read moreCHARLEVOIX area has dark roast. We suffered with the medium roast. It was fresh, but it was not strong, dark, and bold. Limited edible offerings. Execution and Hospitality. Typical millenial serviceability = limited engagement, no eye contact, and minimal delivery of expectations. Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. Clean loos. Whimsical and rustic decor. Nice live plants. Lots of natural light. Street and lot parking. Seating was hard. Music was loud and echoed for an almost empty place. Overall, OK. Photodocumented experience.
