5 Best Coffee Shops near Elk Rapids

“Blown away by the flavors that are absorbed in the doughs! Real apples in the fritters, sweet cherries for the danishes, nice crisp on the out sides of the doughnuts and Hugh smiles from the ladies behind the counter. People are always coming and going from the shop so hurry in before they run out!“

“Wow this place is gorgeous! I just stopped for coffee on a road trip and did not know I’d be walking into an art gallery antique store museum ! That driftwood horse head is stunning!The barista was so nice. Since I was already all tanked on caffeine I got a decaf americano and it was really good. Decaf often isn’t, so that was a nice surprise too.Every time I head south I’ll be stopping from now on for sure.“

“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 was overwhelmed with gratitude when stopping into the Dam Shop yesterday. The attentive service offered by Mike the manager and other employees was pleasantly surprising. Mike was extremely welcoming and took extra time and effort to accommodate my daughter’s food sensitivities. Also, we have ALWAYS had wonderful experiences with the baristas - Sarah, Emily and Audi - love them! Their friendly and helpful nature goes a long way. My daughter and I love the coconut milk option for lattes. We just love this place for so many reasons. The DAM shop all the way!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to food allergies and sensitivities.Parking: Very easy parking in their own private lot“

“The staff seems eager to please and the setting is very comfortable and pleasing with a nice outdoor seating area also. I do hope for a larger menu with more vegan offerings and consistency. Please keep your prices reasonable or I'll put you in the "overpriced tourist category" in the future! I'm happy to see more lunch and dinner offerings but only wish they were offered more than on weekends. I'd be here as a regular then! Keep it simple and fresh and affordable!“
