Harbor View Cafe

Love the remolded restaurant. Great food. Fun art.

Food was good, but nothing special. The following are facts. We had to play musical plates because the server forgot who ordered what and just dished it out to us. Something about the unmelted craft singles cheese on top of my omlet made me uneasy. I had to ASK for the rest of my meal (hashbrowns). We did not get refills on When I paid the bill the server left me without a pen to sign my recipt so I had to go to the front and ask for a pen. I was given a pen that didnt work.

We went in to have an enjoyable breakfast. Seated ourselves as the sign said. We waited and waited to even be acknowledged. Finally we were given a menu and asked if we wanted coffee. My daughter asked if you had half n half. The waitress said its right in front of you. My daughter then said, no that’s coffee creamer. She was told. “That’s our version of half n half”!!!! A simple no is all that was needed. We had a paid for tour scheduled and I asked the waitress if it would take a long time to be served. I mentioned the tour. ( I only asked because we wasted 20 minutes waiting for a menu.) Her response was, “ the food is not premade, we have to cook it. “ Once served she never returned. I had to catch her at another table to ask for jelly or jam. She replied, it’s on the table. I indicated that we had noon. She took some from another table and rudely sat it on our table. I’m not experienced with rude service and it certainly got our day off to a bad start. As for the food, it was prepared well. No problems there. Just the waitress. We were visiting Charlevoix for the first time. Your restaurant was recommended but we will never return and will not recommend it to others.

Homemade cinnamon bread is amazing 🤩. Service is always great. Must stop when visiting Charlevoix 👍

Good food but do not practice social distancing. I may have got covid here. I was there Nov 7th and it was quite busy. Cannot trace it anywhere else. Be careful, too easy to get indoors.

Staff were all friendly and the restaurant was very clean. Great coffee and got the skillet brakefast with country gravy and it was delicious! Would highly recommend

Great service - outstanding breakfast!
Loved the Benedict!

We came across this little cafe. Good food at a fair price.

Good food for the price, a great cozy little location.

Even though they were slammed, we got our orders quickly and accurate! This is something that almost no restaurant in northern Michigan is able to do right now!!
Thank you
