The Beach House At Michigan Beach

A great location to stop eating for a quick bite while on the beach. I tried the smoothie, gorgeous shakes, root beer and the Coney. The friendly staff will bring it to you when it is ready.

My family loves Bywater Cafe!! Annie is proud that her food is fresh, fair and always to order. It grieves me to see negative reviews that it “cut too many hands fry’s” or “bland”, or that it would be a “concession stand”... .or that Annie or her staff would be considered “racist” that could not be further from the truth) Annie has young children working for them, for many of them it is the first job and I have never been unkindly treated by one of them. Annie not only runs this café, but also ensures that the throw is picked up not only on its terrace but also on the beach. Simple rules for life during the visit... Be friendly to the staff not destroy their property No smoking on the terrace Pretty easy!! Bywater cafe Staff Annie, don't worry about the small comments left by angry, titled customers. Who knows what this is for a great place is coming back.

Best views of Lake Michigan! Lovely walk-up cafe with some surprising food options. Cherry chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, fresh cut French fries, and after 5pm some insta-worthy extreme milkshakes for $10.50 a piece but looked like they would beworth it! Gorgeous view from patio seating.

A great place for lunch away from the crowds in downtown, plus the view cannot beat!

This is a fantastic café located on the beach in Charlevoix, Michigan. They offer a wide variety of snacks, including mozzarella cheese sticks, hand-cut French fries, salads, burgers, and bison burger sliders. My personal favorite is the smoked white fish cake slider, which resembles mini crab cakes served on fresh slider buns, accompanied by a crisp mix of greens and a flavorful remoulade.
