We came in from out of town while visiting family and the place was great. Food was delicious, service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. We had a 1.5 year old with us and this was a great place for a family.

Ames Street Cafe is the best in town! From breakfast, lunch to the yummiest baked goods you'll ever taste. Don't miss out when you are in the Traverse and Elk Rapids area.

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%!!!Dietary restrictions: Chef(s) are very guest friendly and accommodate most requests, as well as a naturally accommodating menuParking: Plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Family vibe is all over this place. I’m sure kiddos are welcome

Not your ordinary cookie cutter chain cafe' Ames Street Cafe has the perfect balance of friendliness, quality, and engagement that keeps you coming back. Allie and her staff have made a welcoming environment to the entire community. The breakfast and lunch menu is fantastic. Try the pancakes, best I have ever had. Thank you Allie for bringing such a gem to Elk Rapids.
