That French Place

It was early on a Sunday in October. The town was calm, dreamy, still pretty much asleep except for a few of us that seemed to take turns arriving at That French Place like clockwork one by one to make the difficult decision of which crepe or pastry 🥮 🥐 to choose. Greeted by a lovely woman, who talked me through the sweet and savory choices and I settled on the cinnamon roll and then went back in again for a breakfast crepe to save for later on the comfy bus ride to Traverse City. I was so happy That French Place was open before the bus came to the station. It was the perfect ending to a short story stay in Charlevoix. Seek it out when you go even if you are taking the ferry or the coach bus; stop in and meet lovely people and taste French pastries and crepes.

I loveeeeeee That French Place! It’s my fav little spot in Charlevoix! Not only is it cutest and vibey, but the coffee is amazing and all of their food offerings are sooo yummy! My fav is their quiche! It is so delicious. Come here for breakfast or just to grab a coffee!

Stopped in for coffee and pastries during our stay. We were greeted at the door by an employee who helped organize the line. We found that all employees were patient and helpful and we appreciated their efforts to direct foot traffic to make the ordering experience smooth. The coffee was average, but the pastries were phenomenal. Didn’t get a chance to try the crepes but will definitely come by during our next visit because they looked delicious.

Great place to get a coffee and a pastry! Loved the vibe of this cute little French cafe in downtown Charlevoix! The owner was super sweet!

We went in January and had no wait on a Saturday! Adorable decor. Delicious crepes (we had the sweet strawberry crepe and the savory bacon egg and swiss crepe, soo good!) and well-made croissants. The lattes were balanced and featured house-made syrups. Pairs nicely with a visit to the book store next door 😊
