Ames St Cafe 145 Ames Street, Elk Rapids, MI 49629

"I love so many things about this place! The food, the feeling like family, the people--- oh I love the people! It's nice to have a place to enjoy a great breakfast that connects with my soul and makes me feel like I'm home. This cafe brings me back to the feeling of home--the kind where life was slower and time with friends and family was the center of focus. Thank you, Ames Street Cafe!"

"This lovely little eatery embodies everything I want when I go out to eat. The owner radiates loyal love for her family and guests, passion for local farms, and a new kind of business philosophy that is centered on kindness and care. All of these things drip down into the crew, and of course THE FOOD! Which is delicious. I would drive through a winter storm just for the experience. Awesome grub, awesomer people, worth the visit 100%!!!"

"Such a great little breakfast place. Their breakfast burritos are one of my faves and the eggs Benedict is to die for. Don’t get me started on the brown butter chocolate chip cookies or the best pumpkin bar I have ever tasted. This will be a staple during our stays in Elk Rapids. Definitely a must try!"

"We just had the best homemade focaccia bread club sandwich and the outstanding mouthwatering Monte Cristo ! My husband and I split these and still couldn’t eat it all . Absolutely amazing experience! We will be back ❤️"

"Incredibly delicious, creative and generous breakfasts. Homemade focacia bread is wonderful! Fresh ingredients. They are very receptive to customizing your meal so you'll be completely satisfied. I had the omelet with tomatoes, onions, chorizo, avocado, and the homemade salsa. Omelet was hanging off the plate. We'll be back!"
