Build a full Saturday in Charlevoix, MI around coffee, Bridge Street shopping, a park break and an evening at the table. Start at Cafe Meria after its 9 a.m. opening for espresso drinks made with small-batch syrups, or choose BIGGBY COFFEE for a 6 a.m. start and drive-through service. Cafe Meria also serves house-made açaí bowls, while Hotdoggers Coney Cafe supplies a midday stop for hotdogs, sandwiches and fries before its 3 p.m. closing.

Keep the afternoon schedule anchored by Mushroom House Tours’ 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Saturday hours: its 50-minute tour explores more than 26 homes created by one builder. Then make room for a park break at Beach access on Park Ave, which welcomes children and suits picnics.
For dinner, choose locally sourced seafood and chops at Terry’s on Antrim Street, opening at 5 p.m., or New American dishes in Victorian surroundings at Grey Gables, opening at 4:30 p.m. Finish at Vue Wine Bar, open until 11 p.m. Saturday, with international wines, cocktails and an outdoor deck overlooking the bridge and water.
