I really appreciate the concept of ordering directly from a tablet at the table—it's efficient and modern. The food is freshly made to order, which you can taste in every bite. I tried the Smoked Salmon Croffle, and it was absolutely delicious. While the space is small, it's thoughtfully laid out, with additional seating available out front. Definitely a worthwhile stop when you're in Charlevoix.

Wow- so excited about this place. Had their homemade Chai and it is outstanding. Love the gluten free quiche bites. I’ll for sure be back.

This eclectic spot was not what I expected, but we enjoyed it. Sure to dietary restrictions I had to avoid baked goods. I landed on the Green Monster smoothie. It's made from available, fresh ginger, greens, and a few other ingredients. It was delicious. Highly recommended.

Hip place. I felt like I was in Miami… while in northern Michigan 😄
Food and service was great.

Cafe Meria – A Hidden Gem in Charlevoix That’s Bursting with Soul and Flavor.
Cafe Meria is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food and coffee—it serves an experience. From the moment you walk in, there’s an undeniable charm and authenticity that sets it apart. The flavors here are ingeniously crafted, with every sip and bite telling a story of passion, freshness, and thoughtful sourcing.
We started with the house mocha—rich, velvety, and made from their very own organic, in-house roasted beans. The bergamot rose-infused tea was equally enchanting—fragrant, balanced, and unlike anything we’ve tasted. The beauty? You can customize everything to your liking, right from your table, thanks to their intuitive tablet ordering system. No waiting in line, just pure ease.
Now, the food—wow. The tuna croffle is a revelation: crispy, buttery croissant pressed into a waffle and topped with perfectly seasoned tuna. And the mango habanero chicken? A bold, sweet-heat explosion that still lingers in the best way. Even the rice breakfast bowl was a surprise hit—proof that simplicity and quality ingredients can absolutely shine.
One of the most brilliant and unexpected touches? The music playing softly in the background—original songs about Cafe Meria itself and its ingredients. It’s quirky, creative, and undeniably cool—like a personalized soundtrack for your dining experience. Ingenious.
The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and yes, dog-friendly! Our Yorkie was greeted with genuine warmth and allowed to enjoy the cozy space with us. And Jesse, the owner? Truly one of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll meet. His love for the craft is evident in every detail.
If you’re in Charlevoix and skip Cafe Meria, you’re seriously missing out. A must-visit, without a doubt!

I love everything they make, great quality, amazing customer service and fun vibe. Matcha latte and avocado toast are my favorites! Bonus-see if you can hear the custom songs they write for the locals and Charlevoix!
Yuck!!! Bought a drink and tried there croffle. Burnt!!! $6 bucks for a burnt freaking sweet treat! They knew when they tossed it in the bag it was no good. Save your time and don’t go in here

Amazing coffee and food 10/10 every visit! Music is always great and their to-go ordering is so easy!

We got the spicy tunacado sandwich and it was delicious! Fish was light, and pickled red onions and cucumber the perfect amount of crunch. Space was very cute and cozy as well. I don't always like ordering off a screen but it was helpful to see a nice picture of every menu item. The staff noticed my boyfriend and I ordered one sandwich total and asked us if we wanted two plates.

Great customer service. Those young owners are the best!

Cafe Meria provided great service and was rather quick with our food. There is a large choice of beverage options and some very unique combinations for lattes. For food, my wife and I split a Banana Nutella Croffle and an Everything Croffle. AMAZING! We’ll be back! :)
