From the business
"Our family has been making maple syrup in Charlevoix since 1898, and all Harwood Gold products are sweetened only with pure maple syrup. We opened our first storefront in 2016, and it is half cafe, half store. The cafe features a farm-fresh, seasonal menu, as well as espresso drinks, fresh baked goods and smoothies, plus our hand meat pies both hot and frozen. Our menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The store side features all of the Harwood Gold maple syrup and made-with-maple products, with a tasting bar so you can try before you buy. All of our maple products are also available to purchase on our website."

Classic coffee-shop rustic vibe combines with a unique maple-product shopping experience to make HG the perfect place to stop for a quick (or not) pick-me-up during your trip to downtown Charlevoix. I have visited HG several times throughout the summer, and each time I discover something new. The delicious coffee drinks - like the new nitro cold brew - are the stars of the show, but it's the supporting cast of maple sweetened confections, aussie meat pies, and adorable rustic environment that make HG such a worthwhile place to stop. It is all brought together by delightful customer service from the crew. Tia, Marnie, Maggie, and Riley are all gems, willing to customize your drink or tell you about some the unique maple-sweetened product line, sourced from a local maple farm. My season in Charlevoix is coming to an end, but I will certainly be back next summer.

Every kind of maple syrup your heart could desire! Very good Kiwi pies. Taste testing station so you can try the maple syrup before you buy.

Beautiful Cafe! Great menu options. Wonderful tasting bar for maple syrup and other products. I will definitely come back again.
Marn Conley
Not impressed. All packaged items in deli cold case unless ordering meat pie. Table needed to be cleaned. Water bottle on table had food splattered on it. Food was ok, but didn't reflect the over $20 cost and didn't include a beverage.

Nice coffee for sure. Lovely setting and fantastic selection of quality preserves, honey, and other locally-made products.

Good coffee in a well-kept environment. Light streams into the southern-facing windows, so if you need a place to do some work in the morning, before the family rises, this is your place.
Adam York
A one of a kind place with excellent food, smoothies, and coffee. The atmosphere is incredibly cool.
They have maple everything, locally sourced products. It's an experience.
Ashleigh Cote
Delicious food and coffee. They have done a great job partnering with local companies to keep everything local and fair-trade.
Be sure to try the meat (or veggie) pies. Unique and delicious.
